[Armok]

Janet just acknowledged my existence in the happy thread!

Spoiler: Armok... (click to show/hide)

[Areyar]

my first generated world in .31 was named the Realm of Dragons, this pleases me, I am used to regions being called the Spheres of Emumerations or something weird.

[Acanthus117]

I just had an epic battle with goblin spearmen, orcan warlords (hammer/sword/axe dudes) versus waves of elven bowmen/swordsmen, and a small group of elite human soldiers in the middle. I love Arena mode!

Also, drowning kobolds is fun.

[Tack]

Heh. Luke. Gundam Facepalm. Heheheh.

That makes me mildy amused. And therefore happy, I guess.

[Realmfighter]

Accordions are the worlds greatest instrument.

I just did a mini-art project to loosen up with. I decided to take liberty and remake the Bloodfist logo before using it for my upcoming finale.

Check it out:

Spoiler: I dare say, it looks pretty badass (click to show/hide)

Compared to the old lineart/vector rendering:

Took no longer than 30 minutes to make and refine.

It was a bastard to collect the photos to combine together correctly. Funny enough I only had a tiny collection of 7 pictures I found in less than half an hour (only 3 of them were used for this composition). Still, it was a real pain to find some good ones. Screw having thumbnails and hundreds of pictures to work with. Not my style of doing things.

I think I found myself a new avatar.

[Acanthus117]

watching Olm men with spears charging at human crossbowmen who then turn them into pincushions is fun.

If you ever want to make Janet really angry, call her Sniper Joe.  Man that's old.  Really old.  2008 old.  BUT ANYWAY WOOOOO DF2010.

My life seems to be falling together nicely.  I'm going to take intensive Russian and number theory this summer, possibly do research, and maybe work as a grader for a course.  The math department loves me >_>  But then, I love them back.  All of them.  The grouchy professors, the young ones, the really creepy 50-year-old woman who doesn't look a day over 25, the ones that walk away without saying goodbye, the ones that keep you for hours after class, the ones that bow, the ones that shout, the ones that smile, the ones that make sexist comments.  I love their impossible accents and abuses of language; their outrageous sayings and their cold demeanors.  They are my family, my friends, my guardians.  More than ever, over and over again, I realize this.  Somehow, impossibly, unimaginably, they have mobilized to protect me and do what they can to keep a smile on my face.

Just a little bit ago, I thought no one cared.  How things have changed...


It's good that I'll be taking summer courses, because with neither Rosewood nor Aspen around, I'd have to spend the summer completely alone.  I'm not willing to do that, if at all possible.  So my parents have said that I'm probably allowed to live with an acquaintance from high school who attends my university (this is a big deal, since we don't have all that much money and the two rents + courses will be expensive.  It's already something of a stretch to send me to a university this good).

Oh, and my mom is trying to fatten me up >_<  It's nice to be on the other side of that, for once.  It's kind of hard on me right now, because I can barely eat and I've already lost so much weight over the past month or two that I shiver even when I'm wearing a coat.  This is especially notable because I used to walk around during winter in shorts and a tanktop without feeling the chill at all.


I don't know.  Life is just too hard.  I wish I could make all this go away.  I've had a solid streak of bad luck for... what, 20 years.  I'm waiting for the part where my constant effort makes life enjoyable for once.

[zchris13]

Then you realize that it doesn't get better then you just stop caring because it's okay because your ALIVE and it's all really just chill from there.  BRO IS ALWAYS BRO.

FOR OLD TIMES SAKE:  THIS IS SOME MADE PAULOSOPHY MAN.

I can sympathize with that. I just say, find a pressure point and push. There's no quicker way to get what you want/need quicker than to remind them that patience does have a shelf life.

Then again, I already snapped once or twice and started finding ways to get things done. Like I always say to myself "If you want something done, and done right, do it yourself.". Which kinda makes a good reminder as well why I make myself a total MacGuyver and swiss army knife of random skills. Sure I'm talented, but to hold a career or a passion for it 24/7 sounds like too much work for little satisfaction.

Hell, most of my best work comes at times of boredom or creative frustration (not like mental blocks; more like emotionally going haywire). I have created nightmare fuel creatures/races (one in particular worked so well I continued to refine them) on bad days. Came up with all sorts of counter-screw-overs just for the hell of it (and to feel like a villain for once after being unrewardingly nice for too long), and I come up with all sorts of crazy-ass and rather dwarfy locations and such which some are architecturally and engineeringly sound, aside a few ghestalt devices/locations. For example, I have a weapon design that doubles as a key for a ship, which qualifies as a bullshit-meter equipped on the starter of the ship. Hell, even impractical, but awesome designs like the blade-craft (spacecraft that also melee battle in the skies/space, usually designed after the form of different bladed weapons). I have tons more. I wish I had more opportunities to draw again; I'm just not as bored as often as I used to be. I need to take more classes I guess.

If really devoted, I actually want to build some of my designs, like an old airship design I've had for the past 4 years that I've been upgrading like mad over time. Imagine a battleship (in scale and firepower) that flies in the skies that can also drift like a rally car, and really fast as well. Physics be damned. Hell, no skill in engineering, and I already designed a multi-servo-operated rotary jet engine that could revolutionize aerial VTOL control without much compromise and be scalable in design in both allowable angles and engine scale (one of the main features of said airship). Toss in an internal ballast system that also prevents tailspinning, and boom, a driftable goliath of an airship that is easy to control, and difficult to lose control over.

I nickname my methods of engineering "Lego engineering" considering how simple the ideas can link together and somehow work. By that perspective, you can also say I think like an adventurer in an old DOS game as well.

Ah, memories. I gotta look back at my notes. I have roughly, or over, 15 years of this kind of crap. Will take some time to filter through. I remember I came up with some definitively awesome ideas.

[WorkerDrone]

More promises to keep. And I'll keep 'em.

Lord give me strength, good night.

[Gunner-Chan]

This isn't happy. So I'm getting rid of it for happys.

What made me happy in the last 3 hours.

Talking With Workerdrone.

Talking with Newmars.

Realizing I had a character concept.

DESTROYING 4 platoons (120 men!) of human knights as a Bronze colossus in arena mode with a Slade great axe.

[Nether]

I'm happy to see that the new version is out and I still have not touched it
Three weeks to go...
