Καλως ηρθες φιλε μου!
I could't resist XD Are you greek?
Hope we have a fun time here!!

What would Rule 21 entail though? "Original content is original only for a few seconds before getting old" is rule 21 of the internet if I recall correctly, so if we don't make our own set of rules, that's what it would be, right? It'd be weird to have a name that means that, haha!

Eh... really! I just looked. 21 is an important number to me, and it's popped up a lot recently now that I think about it. Oh, and it's not important because American drinking age is 21, it's 18 here in the part of Canada I live in, so it's nothing so cosmetic. Still, this is interesting. I might have to pay more attention...



@Role:
I uh... just got the joke... >.>;;;; Whoops.

Yeah, it's kinda similar to xXxSCREENNAMExXx.  I'm the type who thinks it's kinda silly to add numbers or symbol ends when it's not like a suuuuper popular site.  So I was curious as to the reason why you had the 21.

Was kinda insightful - if the number has a deep meaning for you, that's a pretty cool reason to use it. ^-^

Thanks! I actually feel the same way about that. If the number if important, then go wild, but if it isn't, and one has the opportunity to go without, why bother? I've asked a few people why they didn't just use a different name or spelling after I found out they didn't find the number they used as important. They tend to just shrug. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Also you never really poked at me for that when I was RTGreece21, I must have come off as pretty silly, haha.

I know of someone who goes by three numbers.... and there are no letters.... However, that same guy also goes by another name that has just letters as well.

As far as main accounts go, I mostly agree with the no numbers thing... With some minor exceptions... Like for dup accounts, mild leet, when there are too few alternatives... (EX: Replace O with 0, or S with 5)... etc.

[Ruehl21]

Leet is fine, I think. It isn't random or meaningless. It's a utility, like any language/alphabet, so it doesn't annoy me.

[Daddy Poi's Oily Gorillas]

Y35, 6u7 17 (4n 63 h4rd3r 70 r34d 7h4n n0rm4l pr1n7.
Yes, but it can be harder to read than normal print.

...if used heavily.


@162: I remember having that as a bus number back in high school... (Out of many that I had.)
As for what it means to me... not sure... but dividing the numbers into 6 + 12 = 18... and then adding that to the age I was a few years ago.... I come with 35... and that would be half of 70... so... it might mean nothing though. (Except having a goal to be at least 35 yrs. old some day, is interesting, I guess.  Sort of pointless though, considering that's still quite young... but I'm thinking of halfway points.)

[Ruehl21]

Possibly. Not everyone reads it well.

Haha sometimes smaller goals are more rewarding because you can reach more of them. i think it's fine XD

[Daddy Poi's Oily Gorillas]

True, especially if you are not used to it.

And yeah, small rewards always help with making progress towards something, I guess....

By the way, I also see 163 sometimes as well... I decided it was worth mentioning since I just saw this:

[Ruehl21]

Oh cool! I never knew much about cryptocurrencies. Wasn't there around 500 or so at some point, though?

[Aile~♥]

Ohai. Didn't notice this 'til just now. I kinda just lurk occasionally.

[charon the ferryman]

holy crap what's up dude

I'm Charon, I was wondering where you went. noice

[just noticed you posted this in August... oh well, better late than never]

[Daddy Poi's Oily Gorillas]

Yup, over a year ago...

And since Ruehl returned yet again, always worth a rewelcoming regardless of whether another topic is made or not... So in one sense, you're not really late. (Simply missed the previous re-welcoming. Or ummm... heheheh.) And therefore are on-time/early for this re-welcoming. (Of many to come! Probably.)

Welcome again!

Hopefully that gets people starting a chain of hellos again... *hint*hint* -- Thinking about it kinda cracks me up a little bit. :P

[Ruehl21]

[just noticed you posted this in August... oh well, better late than never]

Haha well if there was any post and time for a necro this was it.
I went a variety of places. My health took a bad turn for a while, too, among other things including my father having four strokes and whatnot, so I haven't been able to really apply myself anywhere. When dad recovered enough I found a game jam, and partway through working on some of the art I thought of this place, so I'll be studying the palette and sprites for a while. I'm mostly on Discord nowadays. Do we have one at all?

this re-welcoming. (Of many to come! Probably.)

Knowing my luck and life >.<; I'll try to stick around though as it'd be my preference to stay and at least lurk.

Either way I'm glad to see you're both well, and still here to boot. I like how this place doesn't change so drastically like other forums do.

[Luna_blade]

A discord hmm...
Might be a thing

[Daddy Poi's Oily Gorillas]

Yep! Discord is Skype 2.0 (not literally), everyone's starting to actually use it now!


Edit:  Except no GSHC group yet. (As far as I know.) But then we didn't seem to really have one for Skype, either.

[Rolina]

Sunrise and /r/goldensun have a discord group, I know that much at least.

But yeah, everyone's moving to Discord because skype is just... not good anymore.

[Menaus]

I would say Discord is more similar to Teamspeak or Ventrilo than Skype. It's more server and group focused than Skype is, which is more individual focused. The main benefits are that the use of its servers are free, and pretty much every piece of UI is more streamlined. It's also adding a bunch of kewl features like custom emotes and stuff.

I've been using it for a long while with my own group of friends, and it has been great. Before, we were using Curse voice chat, which tended to have glitches due to it being in beta. I would definitely be interested in joining a discord group if we decided to make one.

[Salanewt]

I chat with people on here fairly regularly through Discord, but I don't think the site has a group for itself yet. I would be willing to make one if people want it.

Also, welcome back Ruehl! Good to see you. :)

[Ruehl21]

I would be willing to make one if people want it.

I was gonna offer if you didn't, haha. Discord makes it so much easier for me to keep in touch with my peeps, and even though I've always had skype, Teamspeak was my main squeeze... that is until discord fixed some stuff so that it actually worked for me, haha. It isn't hard on the eyes, hell it's customization is pretty good, and it works pretty nice considering none of the servers are really all that close to me.

I would spend all my time between a discord for this place and the discord for game dev I'm in. owo I'd have two homes. The do want is strong.

Haha, also it's good to see you, too. All of you, actually. It almost feels like the days when I first started didn't really go away.

[Salanewt]

Okay, here is a hopefully permanent link:

https://discord.gg/ghArTzu


I'm not planning to do much with moderation, but will make Kain a mod or whatever if he expresses interest in it. Otherwise this is an informal Discord server for people here to share. As of right now it has a general voice channel and three text channels, two of which are related to hacking and the other for everything else. It's also hosted on Western European servers, even though this might change down the road. (Edit: And a general programming channel.)


I know, right? I still use Skype pretty frequently for my offline contacts, but it seems like almost everyone I chat with online these days is on there. I moved over the second Skype forced me to try a beta of an extremely terrible update.

Daddy Poi's Oily Gorillas: To think that events are not done via a tilemap in GS3 is interesting, and they'd just be cubes in the size of a tile (I think)... with given coords.

Daddy Poi's Oily Gorillas: I'm happy ACE is possible and easy in GS1. :D Thank you Tret. Now if we can get GS2 Air's Rock to do ACE, wouldn't that be something.

[Salanewt]

Salanewt: ... Actually, it's almost time for me to post an update on the forum. It's been coming along really nicely overall, and it was only a couple months or so ago that I added some new status effects to the game.

[Salanewt]

30, October, 2020, 11:08:41 PM

Salanewt: I need to get it done to start making progress on the parts of the AI Overhaul I want to start working on.

[Salanewt]

30, October, 2020, 11:08:14 PM

Salanewt: It's going well! I wanted to get more of my djinn reform done this week but I've been busy with other things sadly.

Daddy Poi's Oily Gorillas: Being able to convert IPS files to text files to also supporting commenting, and convert back to IPS after changes.... sounds like a fun strategy? 

[Salanewt]

27, August, 2020, 10:37:30 PM

Salanewt: Hey, thanks! 

[Foreclosure]

25, August, 2020, 12:59:22 AM

[Salanewt]

19, August, 2020, 07:00:17 PM

Salanewt: That's awesome! I'm pretty good; been working on an AI Overhaul project and have made some nice progress in the past couple weeks; the goal for tonight is to add Deadbeard to GS2 and then I can move onto something new.

[Awec]

19, August, 2020, 01:14:56 PM

Awec: Ye not bad, just checked back in for updates on GS Reloaded really. Although now I'm looking back through some of my old forum posts, which is fun :D how are you?

[Salanewt]

19, August, 2020, 01:43:07 AM

Salanewt: It sure is! How have you been?
