No problem, creativity peaks when you are drunk :P

There's a small tidbit which I forgot to mention in the S-word thread.
It is not about my current "fish", but rather about the old "fish" from 10 years ago, and it basically goes like this...
Back in 2002 I was madly in love with her, but everyone in the highschool kept saying that: "She'll never want to speak to you, she'll never give you her phonenumber, blahblahblah...".
And so the years dragged on and on, until finally, at the beginning of 2012 just a few months before I deactivated my Facebook profile, an unexpected miracle happened... My old "fish" spontaneously started chatting to me on FB, apologized for running away from me, and gave me her phonenumber, and offered to drive me to some kind of club.
The only problem was that at that particular moment I was no longer interested in her and was focused on some new "fish". Otherwise, I would've said "yes" to her offer and we would've become a couple.

This proves that Fraggle was just being a real mean jerk with no experience in fortune-telling. :p

You are one of the few people who doesn't think I'm crazy, I think. I believe most people think that I am insane simply because my behaviour
and dialogue is confusing, but I can with complete certainty say that every action and decision I make is purposeful. Even eating my own cum on the internet.

Quite possibly the funniest thing I'll read today.

Obsidian said:

gggmork, is that you?

Sigvatr's garrulous rumination is in no way in need of trammeling, unlike gggmork's magniloquently deranged pontifications, which he would do well to obstrigillate.

close the thesaurus.com tab.

Heh, it won't happen any time soon. I've decided I'm not saying anything yet :P

Heh, I was going to rant now about how fish is a bitch again and how I blahblahblah.
Then I think about what DoomUK said last time I did that.

You know what? No. I don't care enough. I shouldn't be angry about this.

You are just hopelessly in love. You`ll get over it, and when you finally do you will feel great.

I remember back in high-school (or college? I was 17 or something I think). I had such a crush on this girl for three fukn years. Finally I let her go (or "I" didnt, my feelings just gave up on their own kind of..) and I never felt better :P I didnt see her for many years after that (moved to diferent towns etc.) but these days we have met quite a few times again. Shes STILL the most awesome person, but Im not feeling "THAT" anymore. Shes a good friend.

I can clearly remember stuff like you have explained here about thoughts like "should I tell her?" "how should I tell her?" and semi-stalking and shit like that, haha. So funny to think about now.

Love. Weird shit yo.

Hahaha, I know the woman well; she can be real tough, dry, and inconsiderately blunt, so I wouldn't be surprised if you sensed that!

Next time, I'm going as a hat.

Happy birthday man. Hope you have/had a great one :D

Happy Birthday yo!

hb dude. Doesnt feel that long ago right?

Or simply holding the plectrum tight enough not to butterfinger it? I only dropped it once into my classic guitar.

The easiest method I find is turning the acoustic upside down and 'shaking' it as a gold prospector would use a pan in a river.

That's the weird thing though. I've always done that, and it's taken less than a few seconds. Did it on this occasion and 20 minutes...

I think the logical solution here is to fill the cavity with thousands of picks.

162/162 monsters on first try. Didn't start taking damage until BFGing the brown ones that spit firey ones.

Nice, it might persuade me to make more of an effort on a demo :P

I took a recording :)

Man, this is really cool! I wish to hear more soundtracks of yours from the radio in the future.

I think The Occultist (also from a PWAD!) will be the next one I try and get on radio. I'll probably make a radio edit for that one though so it gets to the good stuff a bit quicker :P

Wait until you reach your mid-20s. That's when the shit of adulthood starts marauding its way down your asscrack into the sphincter.

Everything is bright and shiny now. But as you learn more about the world and the role you are about to play in this great comedy of errors, well, heh. Don't cash out in disillusionment right away, there is plenty of good to do in this world, you don't always have to do what the dollar tells you to.

Belated congrats Eris - assuming you recently completed your exams, I hope they went well :)

Belated but great(ed)

Fellow Pink Floyd fan reporting in. Y'all might be interested in a couple of bands that have made some great music in a similar vain to Pink Floyd... even if it is totally obvious that they're wearing their influences on their sleeve:

I saw Roger Waters live during The Wall tour in 2011. It was a life changing concert. Easily the best one I've been to, and also one of the best nights of my life. Great band! I think "Animals" is my favorite album from them overall.

^Same here. Animals is awesome.

Yeah dunno why my brain settled on them, I haven't even played Heretic that much!

Specifically this WAD (it was definitely Doom, not Heretic) was like a small set of maybe four or five levels. When I finished playing I put listmaps in console and saw something like MAP00: R.I.P (this wad was by dobu so this is still quite believable :P), so I warped to that map and the fucker just rushed towards me immediately and started stabbing the doomguy repeatedly, and continued to do so after pressing esc.

That aggressive behaviour and the fact the sprite was edited to contain bits of cyan actually makes it more like something I'd do, now there's an idea, technical limitations aside...

I think that the ophidian also appears in the Neodoom wad, around map 20 or 21.....

Of course it's only back in the real world it becomes apparent that it's not even scary :P

On the plus side, it means I'm mentally stable.

I came into this thread stable, left feeling extremely confused

No, you merely imagined you were stable. Welcome back to the real world.

Enjoy probably the best 10 weeks for a considerably long time, if ever

FTFY. But because I'll be so busy with failing everything for the project, there will be no "fishing" going on :P

I'm not an artist..what the hell do I do..

Eris Falling said:

Do the best you can. If that's not good enough - raid the texture stock at Realm667, try to recruit an artist and/or ask for contributions.

Excellent, the fish thing lives on.

I've been busy building shit in another game, so I haven't really been on DW much, so I apologise if a witty post or three was expected.

well, at least we didn't see "Eris cratered."

But hey, at least you get to live out your favourite place: Deepest Reaches

OOF

Obligatory:


Happy Birthday.

thanks people :)

Woo thanks Obsidian! That was a cool and challenging map :)
After about 10+ attempts, here's a UV max in 03:17.

this is what I get for rarely visiting the blogs thread. oops, happy belated birthday. Maybe I will make something tomorrow :)

Yeah... That... That's a "vast" improvement, I'd say...

Welcome to the Club - I whished I had 0.4 Mbps upload, Maximum is 80 kBps right now  and the file is nearly 300MB..   *sigh

How I feel when my PS4 throws endless connection errors during Warframe "HOW did my fiber get slower than dialup!?"

I've found the solution to all your troubles OP.

1. get a job
2. build a computer
3. enjoy glorious 60fps on all the latest vidyagaymes

Seriously, getting a hold of a good computer doesn't take much if you're willing to work even the simplest job for just a few months. If you build your own desktop you should end up with a thing you can rely on for years before you even have to upgrade it, at which point you can just lay down a few extra hundred bucks to get your PC back at the top of the line again. This is the secret best buy doesn't want you to know. Retailers hate me!

Hello there Eris, always nice to know someone else from the Pile Of Metal Shit computer club. By your description, it sounds like we've got the same processor that might have been competent back in 2009 when I first got this thing. Even though upgrading my RAM from 3GB to 8GB fixed a couple of problems, it still runs like a fat kid with asthma and shoes made of duct tape 80% if the time. I can just forget about playing any games released after 2007 (except Five Nights At Freddy's which for some reason runs perfectly. WHEEEEEEEEEE.) Sometimes it can't even keep up with my typing and slowly inputs one character at a time to try and finish a sentence that I spent 5 seconds typing.

I have the cash for a potentially kick-ass (or at least not too terribly shitty) upgrade from a job I worked last summer, but I kinda need it in order to stop the college debt collectors from busting my kneecaps in a couple of years.

Man, the sooner I can dump this once-competent pile of metal shit in favor of a real work horse machine the better. It seems like everyone around me has either great or at least comparatively less shit hardware on hand. Looking over and watching my friends run Dolphin at full frames while this thing chokes trying to handle some more intense SNES games is incredibly lame.

Ya know, you'd think writing this would have made me feel at least a little better but now I just feel like a whiny asshole with no real problems after thinking about how somewhere someone's trying to wrestle a piece of meat from a vulture's beak. There are no winners.

Wait, wasn't this thread about Eris a second ago?

Man, the sooner I can dump this once-competent pile of metal shit in favor of a real work horse machine the better

Pretty much my thoughts. In fact I'd go so far as to say an actual fucking horse would make for a better computer than this rotting pile of sloth defecation. Fucking thing is playing up again, and i only got it back three days ago! I think the repair guy said this could happen
This time it's something like the entire system goes into a seconds-per-frame crawlfest, followed by win explorer shitting itself once you try to do basically anything.

Might be able to sort this out myself - but if not I'll just look at getting a new one. Much as I'd like to get a decent powered desktop (addressing sheridans suggestion) it's not really practical at the moment sadly since there's nowhere to put it at the moment and by the end of '17 I'll have moved house twice more so there's also that to consider.

Back to the iPod i guess. 30 minutes to make this post fucking hell.

6 hours later, ITS STILL PLAYING

Sounds very zen. Great job!

Mind if I reuse it somewhere, someday?

Sure, go for it :D

good shit, man. great job on this!

have you thought of perhaps releasing this in parts? i.e. this would be part one, Earth and Mars part 2 etc.. that might help give the project some more clear direction, feeling less overwhelming, only having to work on two tracks at once? just a thought.

Thanks! I'm less worried about the amount of work honestly once the time restrictions are out of the way, these two were rushed because I was still trying to do everything in four months, but whenever I pick it up again I get to work at my own pace instead.

Thanks! I'll look into making MIDI renditions when the project's finished, and the Japanese stuff is from the Earth part :)

Nice. Congrats.

I've not checked into blogs in a while so a belated congrats Eris!

forgot I posted this, thanks guys! :D

Eris is a conehead!?

I'm so much more than that

oh jesus, I had a coughing fit after seeing that xD

Just add The Taco Bell elevator music from Doom II and you'll be fine. 

I'm pretty sure I heard the BTSX E1M1 music once described as "that stupid sounding mexican song".

@Pavera stop quoting me

heh this was only like the third time I've been out this year, very out of shape. I was basically a zombie for the last 3-4 miles :P

I recently discovered a bike trail near my home that goes directly towards my workplace. It only takes me 5 minutes longer to get their by bicycle than by driving so sometimes I ride there. The uphill climb on the way back kicks my ass though.

Eris makes a zombie of himself to feel closer to his beloved game
