Forgetting Suggestions
« on: July 31, 2012, 10:50:04 pm »

I hate having amazing ideas for DF. I always get them when I'm nowhere near a computer and I end up forgetting it all. Does this happen a lot to you guys?

At least in my case, I tend to think that if I forget them it's because they weren't so amazing to begin with.

Try writing them down on a surface, carry an small notepad or have a cellphone reminder. Then make sure that those haven't been suggested yet.

I used to think about things that would improve DF, but then I realised the Toady has the mind of Einstein, Socrates, Newton, Jesus and Billy Bob Jimbo from down the road. He's made a game that I would never have comprehended existing. Any of my ideas would be a complete waste of his golden time.  :D

Then it happened. Then I cringed. Then I picked it up and beat him to death with it, and then his buddies, too.

Putting aside the massive psychological difficulties from having the mind of a Jewish Austrian (or German?) mathematician who fled to America; an ancient Greek philosopher; an early physicist, albeit a brilliant one; a man who kicked off Christianity and was of indeterminate and unmentioned intelligence; and whom I assume is a hillbilly; such a man would NOT know much about computers, nor resemble Toady much. Toady's more like the modern equivalent of those 40d bookkeepers who kept working and became unspeakably awesome about figuring stuff out and such along the way.

I forget suggestions I think of from time to time, but then I read on in the suggestion board and reform them again - or decide they really aren't needed.
