Much love to whomever pulled off the event. As the first event I've been a part of since being back, I had a blast. (After I figured out wtf happened last event.)
I just logged in and show people die, Figured it was lesser/major got webbed joined, attacked @Aarbrok, got told off and was confused from then on.. As when cant you attack a spines in lesser/majpr ..
@Nalor It's all good, it didn't bother me none, I was just trying to figure out who was attacking me and was confused, I moved room and then had Zsadist attacking me with Riluo....either way I was gonna get hit.
Haha yes a perfect pic of Sid, the amalgamation of corpses. In this type of event we know the whole group will most likely gonna die a horrific death and we were not let down.
So personally I am a huge fan of the Mother series, or Earthbound as it was called in the states.
Recently I was found aware of a fan made Mother4 game which is actually chalking up to be quite beautiful. www.mother4game.com
Anyways, they have been putting tons of work in it and I follow most the blogs...and this just showed up on their Tumblr.
Ramping Up Production
Over the past two years, we’ve been tracking how much time volunteers put into this project. As school ramps up or new jobs begin, productivity plummets. With a rail-thin staff—one developer, five artists and two musicians who are all part-time—things like this sometimes bring us to a halt. We’ve been actively trying to fix this by bringing on more team members.
We recently added James, a PhD candidate in English literature who has made the game’s story and script even better. We’ve also added a spriter, Ollie, to help us perfect our maps. But it’s not enough. We need your help. We want you to join the team.
If you want to help make Mother 4, email finish.it@mother4game.com with the subject “Let’s finish the game - [desired position]”.
You’ll have an impact across the board, from choreographing boss battles to hiding easter eggs. You’ll also get your own staff sprite (plus some extra stuff).
Here are open positions that we’re looking to fill:
SPRITERS
We’re looking for pixel artists who are comfortable duplicating and elaborating Brownie Brown’s pixel art style, artists who are big fans of the Mother series (you’ve played a few times, just for fun) and can create assets from scratch using simple sketches and reference photos.
Wondering if you’re a good fit? Do you have good aesthetic sense and a solid grasp of color? Have you made intricate pixel art before? Would you like PM'ing our Slack robot, Starman Deluxe, philosophical questions about your life? If so, we’d love to hear from you! Don’t forget to link or attach your portfolio.
DEVELOPERS
Want to make a game? OK! Just go ahead and apply. Have experience with C# and Mono? Great! You will need that. Familiar with SFML, FMOD, or GLSL? Also great! Please include portfolios and/or code samples. Starman Deluxe, our Slack bot, welcomes you with open arms.
AAAANYWAYS....
I dont know much about the coding stuff or spriting but as part of a gaming community, perhaps some of you are and would like to work on something like this, they are asking for help where they can and you can kind of see the style of game they are working on.
My roommate who went home for the past few weeks came home today and first thing he said was, "Holy shit dude, you look like you've lost a lot of weight."
Boom. Day made with one little compliment. It's nice when people notice stuff you've been dropping a lot of work into.
Feelings, sensations that you thought were dead. No squealin' remember, that it's all in your head.
Really looking forward to this adaptation. Great cast, director, cinematography and the dialogue's got me all aflutter. "I am in blood/stepp'd in so far" Oooooh Fassbender. YOU DELIVER THOSE LINES.
Pulled up to the store with my work crew today after work, saw our last secretary step out her car as we parked. Jokingly said as I got out the car "Be right back gonna go flirt with her". Walked out the store with her number.
"You ever been divided by zero?" Nia asks you with a squint.
I've been in and out briefly lately, but the reason for my most recent absence since school are three things!
One, and the biggest, is that I have moved out. Getting settled in is taking some time, the issue I currently face (after fighting bugs out) is the internet is not accessible to my desktop. So my landlord is going to run an Ethernet cord in for me to hook up direct sometime this week! It is an amazing find altogether, and roughly ten minutes from my home home.. And less to work both old AND NEW.
I just got the paperwork all approved for my new job which requires me to leave my old, frustrating, stressful one. Yay!
I just ended a full week with no time off there.. I am counting the days to sweet glory, you better believe. So overall I would say life is good.
Oh yes and I'm cat sitting for @Colette Such sweet kitties.
Never had a modern (read: has parts that are less than 5 years old) computer in my life! Today I shelled out around a thousand bucks for a pretty sexy discount beast on NewEgg. Hardly cutting edge, but I could play brand new games on great graphics settings no problem. I'm so excited - I have literally no idea what to do with a high-end PC.

@Trigru - What you do, man, is you sit and write a list out of all the games where you were like, "If I had a better computer, I would play that.." and then you get'em. And you play the fucking shit out of them and love every fucking second.

Rest in pieces Sid we remember.

edit: Woah, now the entirety of my dating history suddenly makes sense.
Any other night, and I would say it was a good date, but...I aint much for corpse orgies.
Also, perfect picture for representation @Riluo
You now have 444444 gold.
It's the little things.

Figured I would just post a little doodle here.
