Post What's on Your Mind

[Ellie]

I remember when everyone in the world was 14.

 

[rey meustrus]

Me too! And we were all on RPG Maker fora! And back then I didn't know that fora was the plural of forum!

I think I was 12 when I joined RMXP.net. It must have been about the same time as the rest of you apparently. This place was always the Big City when it came to RPG Maker but it's nice to be a little smaller. Small enough to fit into the RPG Palace sized hole in my heart.

YOU GUYS NEVER LEAVE ME OK???

I don't know how old I was when I started hanging around .net. It would have been 2008, so I must have been 12-ish.
It's only been 6 years, and yet I can't remember life not lurking like a madman.

Thanks for the sponsor reminder. I'm here all day every day and I can't believe I hadn't contributed yet.

8 years. 1 serious attempt at a game.

I'll stay here until the lights go out.

Does anyone have a good reason why Valve shouldn't allow for paid mod content? Every single argument I've seen against it ultimately comes back to someone not wanting to pay. This nonsense about "corrupting the pure hobbyist spirit of modding" is the worst of it. People are smashing Valve into the ground for just providing the option, too -- they don't even choose whether a mod is monetized or not!

Peeps work their ass off to provide quality content to the community and the moment devs have the option to make a bit of cash everyone loses their damn minds. I know the 75% cut Valve takes is absurd, but I don't think that's what most people are actually complaining about.

I've been here for two and a half years. Yet it feels like forever. Which is why I get scared and sad when we start reminiscing because I suddenly begin to feel out of place (same with my friends of skype.)
I've met some great people through here and IRC, and although I may be absent quite often, I don't think I'll leave fully.

In other news I'm thinking of becoming a teacher.
I'll go to college and do the adults teaching course and then see if I can either make it to uni and do computer science while tutoring on the side, or become a full time teacher. Honestly I've been fucking around with this apprenticeship. Working for the council isn't for me. It makes me feel like a cog in a poorly oiled machine, it's horrid and I get treated pretty damn poorly, and when I want to complain about it or make it better it's always my fault.
This summer will be great. I'll move in with my bro and things will slowly improve.

Long time no see Ven! Hows life?

s'good! how're you?

Good and bad. There was some time where things got real shitty.

The worst part about my life right now is the waiting. I've got to wait until my brother comes back from uni, then he goes and holiday so it's more waiting, then, when we finally move in, I've gotta wait until my contract finishes before I do what I want to do with my life. It has been good. There have been good times. But those times are mostly when I see my bro.

I've realized there's not many people in this town I like. And even the ones I like, I'm too anxious/lazy to go see them. People will make plans with me and then it'll come to the day and every fiber in my body rejects the thought of leaving the house to see them. The only time's I leave the house to go somewhere other than work/the store is when my bro is down and we go skating or something.
In school I used to be so apathetic to what people thought of me. I was so social and I would just hang with who I wanted to hang with... I'm honestly pathetic in comparison to how I used to be... Or maybe back then I was just faking it more... Who knows.

This suddenly became a strange off the rails rant and I really need to stop doing that. SORRY GUYS!

Nope, can't find a good reason.

I actually agree with you. o.o

Today I had a conversation with my girlfriend, who's backpacking through Peru. She hadn't written in days and was telling all the normal :poop: (she misses me every moment we're not together and she wants me to know that she loves me), and I decided to stop her and said the following:

I don't need you to tell me you miss me every moment of every day. I just need you to tell me that you're fine and that you're coming home safe.

I thought it was kind of a movie line. :biggrin:

[bluehazed]

Yeah I'll keep sponsoring this site as long as y'all keep coming round

One of these days I'll actually get around to getting one of my game projects off the ground

Working on a couple embedded projects though

And also have work work

PS. I did actually have a seizure last night (Was told it lasted about four minutes, which is one of the longest I've had in a while... the one that put me in a coma was five minutes), like quite literally ten minutes AFTER typing those random posts, which is weird because I have a hospital appointment today, having another EEG scan, but since I can't really get anywhere due to the after effects, I'm having an ambulance pick me up in an hour to take me... gonna' ask if I can put the sirens on!

Is there much known about seizures and what things can cause them? I imagine them to be like a short-circuit in the brain or something, is that true?

Usually it's due to some neurons misfiring (so, I guess it is kind of like a short-circuit), which then leads to partial or total depolarization of the brain, and it also has many precipitants, like alcohol and even lack of sleep.

Is $500 for a minute of music too excessive because I feel like I'm getting charged Hollywood movie prices.

Oh nono sorry I meant the sponsors callout about hosting and stuff, my bad.

 

[Ellie]

Brewmaster hosts it, and we all pay for it (as a site). I normally top it up as we don't get many sponsors nowadays. Not a problem though.

 

[StrawberrySmiles]

Brewmeister... Whys he hosting if he's not around...?

 

[bluehazed]

Because he hates jesus
