Goddamn, people, what happened?

[HackersTotalMassLaser]

So suddenly this thread becomes about how we are grumpy old men?

I already do this outside the internet, let's not go there.

You obviously still post here, so your responsibilities allow for at least that much.

To be fair, you were banned here, too.

GW did it first. This place was already weirder then.

[HackersTotalMassLaser]

Wait...

...

I've been here almost 9 years.

 ಠ_ಠ

Remind me whytf i still go here? I haven't even been in one physical place more than 9 years in my life.

God I'm old.

I'm still messing around with BlizzABS. I dunno, maybe I'll make a useless thread about the project, so far the combat is coming along nicely. I just can't storyline for ****. I've always been nice and helping to others regardless, and man this community has changed. I have been in and out often. A lot has happened in between that time. I hope all of you die still. Just remember that c:

If it is of any comfort, we all, will in fact, die.

I know. <3

My problem is VX was terrible on my eyes, heart, and soul. I hate the character size, and just everything about it. that 20xx looks really cool, since it'll have the much easier to use graphic engine and such for 2k3, and still have scripting. Meh, my college life isn't an excuse for why I'm not so productive. I'm not productive because I suck, at anything but combat systems. It's the one thing I love making, and working with. My mapping has gotten better, much better, still a little rough, but I can't storyline at all. I hate it. I had some troll by the name of ZE attack my thread when I posted it, so it was kinda disheartening. My problem with that project was I knew the final product wouldn't stick together, so I moved on to XP, and have been working out much smoother with BlizzABS. Who knows, maybe during the summer I'll go on a productivity spree like I normally do.
I don't even have internet where I live, so my actual chances to get online are not often. Sucks.

VX allowed you to use any character size, as long as it was proportionate.

I still didn't like it. Most the new resources coming out are usually based off the new RM's RTP, so most of the stuff I see is 1square high characters. Still, blizzABS is for XP, and I haven't seen an ABS with as ease to use as BlizzABS yet.

I think I speak for most of us when I say that there's still a desire to make a game, but there's always something in the way. Usually real life, but sometimes it's other stuff. Personally, I keep finding that a lack of motivation comes in and kicks my big plans sandcastle to the ground and steals my girlfriend while guffawing at me and calling me a nerd.

Charas has always had a significant amount of people that just want to hang out, but I think it's becoming more and more prominent now, and I think a major part of that is that we've all grown up. We all used to be kids or teenagers, but now we're all grown up or close to it, and we have more things to worry about, so RPG Maker gets neglected. But we're all still friends with one another, so we stick around to chat with one another, even if we don't have spare time to work on games or anything else. I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing, though - I don't have many friends IRL, but I have you guys to come to when I need to satiate my craving for social interaction. Things change with time, and sometimes, you just gotta let it go.

Thank you, I've been needing a good pep talk.

I have plenty of time to work, I'm just slow as hell. e_e

We could become a forum about gaming overall.

I mean, it would attract people who aren't into game-making but enjoy discussing games, and we already discuss games all the time, and we could keep the game-making part of the forum.

This dark-blue color also puts away people, or so I hear. We could perhaps use an overhaul.

That's so very, very sad.

[SaiKar]

You'll have to find people willing to create and support any given overhaul. I'm not gunna do it.

[Prpl_Mage]

Don't you go changing our pretty pretty dark blue colours. It's pleasing and relaxing. Makes me think of old school games that didn't use any background pics.

Anyway, we all probably have plans, ideas, systems ect that we want to work with. Maybe make that game at last. But life usually gets in the way, and once that part of life is over - it's been so long since we last worked with it that the motivation is lacking. So I suggest that we all at least try to do something rpg-makish once a year and publish it at the charas birthday (or christmas) for everyone to play. No rules or guidelines needed for that right?

Okay so there's this amazing feature of SMF/every modern forum software ever. It's called OPTIONS! Such as OPTIONS to change the theme of the site! So we could change the default them to something not-eyeraping and have the good old blue as an option.
