Title: Spicing things up. - And Mythruna news! Post by: Rayblon on September 29, 2015, 12:36:26 PM This is kind of an update, kind of a rant(at least, I think so), and a reminder for myself(and others) about the projects that are still in the works. For whatever reason, I've been really self conscious about making posts lately... not sure why, but there are things that I want to say.
So, this morning I've been thinking about how to spice things up around here, since I more or less check this forum every twenty minutes and seeing no activity for several days is kind of soul-rending. The first order of business was, naturally, to rerender my avatar. If you paid attention to it before, you'd notice that it was pretty dark and washed out. But no more! Now, it's bright, shiny, and HD. I'm probably more proud of that than I should be, but... it took about five hours for me to get the rendering perfect. xD I've been struggling wrt ideas, suffice to say. I've been here for... what? Over a year now, right? It was sometime in June of 2014, and the solution was obvious then. It worked, too. That... was a long time ago. It feels like an eternity since then. You tend to run out of ideas after a while though, which kinda sucks... I'm not really motivated to work on the RP handbook without ebag being active, which also kinda sucks because that could be really cool(though a bit convoluted for the DM) if I ever complete the system(Though, I completely understand that he has a life to live). Posting ideas now and again helped a little I suppose... and the various community projects we did with the wiki and Reddit also livened things up a bit as of late, but I may just be burning out at this point. I dunno. So... yeah. This is more a post about how I'm failing to spice things up. xD For those that don't check in often or are new around here, here's the news from the past few months.
And of course, there are a few projects that are still in the works or things that need to get done. If you're interested, some of the projects are open to user contribution.

I'm practically like that person that sat on a couch for six years. Title: Re: Spicing things up. - And Mythruna news! Post by: pspeed on October 01, 2015, 10:29:02 PM FYI: one of the reasons I've been communicating less the past couple weeks is because I had a close relative die (an uncle that was kind of like an older brother) and the travel and planning for travel on top of an already busy schedule has left little time for anything else.
So I should be around a bit more barring any new life issues cropping up. Title: Re: Spicing things up. - And Mythruna news!

Ah. I noticed on like the 29th that you hadn't logged in since the 27th. I was afraid of all the worst case scenarios today. I didn't expect that one, though. I'm not sure if this helps at all, but a wise man once said, "Let no one weep for me, or celebrate my funeral with mourning; for I still live, as I pass to and fro through the mouths of men." So I should be around a bit more barring any new life issues cropping up. There will likely come a point when life issues will just stop happening to you. Maybe this is that point. Then again, I'm kind of basing that assumption off my childhood. |
