In TLP, it usually takes me an hour to draw/redraw/redraw/redraw 4 8x8s until they reach a point where I think they're passible. In the past hour, I have drawn 49 8x8s I actually like.

How long does it usually take you real graphics wizards to come up with ideas and then translate ideas into good looking tiles?

I don't really care that the music topic was locked.  If you want to post the music your listening to without making contributions to the conversations, then this forum's probably not for you.

BUT, if you want to make the most kickass hack that was ever dreamed of, (and just add your crazy NP's onto the end of your post like BS suggested) then this IS the forum for you! :D

Welcome to the 'Talk of the Day' topic!  Where you can get away with NP's as long as you talk about other stuff to!

RealRed

 :<_<: overkill.

DSO: that sounds okay, I probably work at about the same speed, just, I have some slacking in between each tile or two. :P

Dream/nightmare thread? sounds kickass. random stories generated from almost nowhere is win :D
speaking of dreams, I haven't been having/remembering any lately.. :(

DSO

Learning to meditate and think deeply on a single subject is what really helps your attention span. I second DM on the Ritalin thing, I've never seen anything good come from it.

I've had a few dreams lately but no nightmares. I only go through a nightmare about once or twice a year.

Regarding ADD: COMPLETE BS!!!!

I know plenty of people diagnosed with so-called ADD, and they actually can focus on certain things with extreme attention.  I'm guessing that if you care about something, you'll get to work on it, and if you don't give a flickerbat, you'll slack off.  And they call that ADD....total crap.

It seems almost everyone has ADD these days. It's a bullshit condition mostly invented and mis-diagnosed for the sole purpose to make money. I hope your medication isn't Ritalin. Take it from someone whose mind is detrimentally damaged by it.
Nah, they gave me something that started with a c or something; it functions the same way as Ritalin but lasts 2-3 times as long. If they would've actually given me Ritalin, I probably would've ended up selling it anyways.

Actually, the doctor I went to has 4 rather specific criteria for diagnosing ADD, and I apparently met all of them. Something about having a neuromaturation 2 standard deviations below the norm and stuff.

In my case, at least, ADD was a bunch of bullcrap. Sure, my attention span was certainly subpar, but not to that kind of extreme. If anything, I was hyperactive, too. :icon_razz:

Also, I'm weird when I go do manual labor. My body is occupied enough that my mind runs on full speed. My dad has even caught me singing while working. :icon_redface: So, yeah. For some reason I was thinking about the word "nigger" all day. And then I came up with the weirdest idea evar: What if there was this black dude who had a white kid as a slave (the white kid was kind of slow, and the black dude had him under some kind of contract) and the black dude called the white kid "nigger"?

EDIT:
Quote from: DMantraShould this forum have a Dream thread? I don't know, it's refreshing that I'm not posting on M2K2. Let's be original and have a Nightmare thread!
Whatever you decide, I say go for it. In other words, DO IT FAGGOT :nod:

What have you guys bought lately?

Well, I bought tickets to go to Six Flags (an amusement park) with a couple of my friends. We're going on Tuesday, which is the next day we are all off work at the same time.

I haven't been in like four years, so it should be lots of fun! :D

RealRed

:O

also, wow. I haven't bought...anything lately, except food.

I just got my guitar back from the fret shop, they did really great work and it's perfectly set up and polished. Makes me ashamed to look at how bad my guitar playing is compared to how good my guitar is...

Yeah, so I'm trying to close up at Subway tonight, and my manager calls me about 8:30pm and tells me the opener called in, and he didn't have anyone to open the store.

After trying to call like 5 PEOPLE!  He asks me to do it, and me, being a pushover, says ok.

So, I'm not going to sleep tonight, I'm just gonna wait until I get of work tomorrow morning. :/

looking at a RAM upgrade today, 4GB

Not sure if i should though :< as money is an issue with me.

RealRed

You definitely should. $63~ for a 4gb RAM expansion is a REALLY good deal.
