i want to make something for the vita that people would have reason to use but im also brand new at programming for so im stuck between a rock and a hard place

Do you want to make something for the Vita to give people a reason to use the Vita or because you have a great idea for something that will use the Vita hardware?

I've been feeling good lately.
100% healthy. Rested. Chipping away at my to-do list.
I just needed some alone time and I finally got it this week.
Fingers crossed nothing ruins it.

Read this interesting lecture about Boris Vallejo and Frank Frazetta.
They were kings of fantasy illustrations. So it's fun to debate who was better.

They share a lot of elements. Muscular barbarians fighting Monsters, Exotic animals, and naked women in chains.
But it's easy to tell the two artist apart. Boris painted shiny bodybuilders that were more staged and posing, while Frazetta's characters looked natural and grounded in their environments.

Frazetta's characters actually looked like they were in the middle of something; Boris basically did pinups. The lecturer said it best, "Boris was only as good as his models".

Boris

Frank

It's kinda cherry picking though. Sometimes Frank did more staged work, and Boris could a believable scene now and then.

So I've been trying to impress my supervisors at my new job recently (read: working 72 hours a week two weeks in a row) and it is destroying me. I mean it's working well since I'm already in the running for a position that pays 60% more but dear lord. My hands and forearms are cut to hell and I can't curl and uncurl my fingers without them aching. But the paycheck next week is gonna be pretty tits. Fuck my feet hurt too. I must be getting some good exercise though. I kind of want to die.

I'd like to make a game, tool or something, but I'd only be able to do the basics and in the case of games, considering its a gaming console, why would they choose my game over officially released games? I just want to contribute to the community but I have no ideas of how I can do so :crazy:

Question; What's the best way to go about making a website? I'd prefer something visual rather than lines of code, where maybe I could drag and drop shit around and upload images and stuff... or something similar to that.

Maybe talk with the guys that initially figured out how to hack the Vita? Get into homebrew?

Dammit, Jason, you ninja poster.

I just read somewhere that the "Wat" grandma died last month. I have no reason to doubt it.

Be careful with Wix, I spent about 5 days checking it for vulnerabilities when I found my niece's secret online life and Wix is incredibly insecure. It was the single point of failure when I showed my niece how easy it is to hack her and track her physical life from her online foot-print.

Wix is used in schools in the UK to teach very basic website building to 10 year olds, I had to email a few schools that I knew did this to inform them that in using Wix they were making their students create an insecure online footprint and every photo they uploaded kept their lat/lon GPS co-ords so anyone could physically see where that child was when their photos were taken.

Doubt they listened.

No Wix, isn't very good. Wordpress.ORG is GENERALLY seen as a good place to start a site. Plus there are tons of tutorials out there for it.

So does anybody still play FFXIV? I just got back into it now that I have a schedule that allows me some decent gaming hours.

 

[Jason]

I do, but obviously on the EU servers lol :P

Star and I are taking a financial break, since eventually he has to buy it on the PC for the new expansion (we already got a PS4 to replace the PS3), but I dunno when we're going back.

Which server you on?

Jason, we all know you really live in Detroit. You don't have to pretend to be British anymore

Some guy on Overwatch thought it'd be fun to go Tracer on defence, and then went AFK as we were contesting, then just left... people like that should be banned from life, they don't deserve the same oxygen as the rest of the world...

Thank fuck! Just won a match, my losing spree has been broken! Finally reach a new career high SR, then watch myself tumble down below what I was when I went on earlier (Was 2109 when I came on, went up to 2187, then down to 2093), then I win a match and I'm up at 2119 now... calling it a day before I curse myself and lose again lol
