Off The Wall / Re: "What's Upsetting You Right Now?"
« on: December 13, 2012, 04:29:40 PM »
Well... I was the jerk in this friendship.  I gave her more attention in more ways than she wanted, not to mention using her to constant vent my every little frustration.  She eventually got tired of it and started giving me the cold shoulder more often than not.  The friendship falling apart had been building for a while.
I eventually got my [parasitic bomb] together and started (mostly) treating her right, but the damage was already done.  She wanted nothing to do with me, and told me so the last time we had a serious discussion about our friendship.  But she added, "If there's any chance you can change, then I'll stay friends."  So we stayed friends.  But like I said, too little, too late.  She still treated me like a nothing.

I think I finally just got tired of being treated like that yesterday when her reaction to the nine-page story I wrote partially for her was "It was okay."  Nobody [tornado fang]ing tells me something I worked so hard on is just "okay".  Especially not their one of their characters is involved.

That wasn't the primary reason I finally called it off, but that was definitely the straw that broke the camel's back.  It wasn't even a creepy story or anything.  The characters acted and reacted naturally.  I can't imagine she hated me so much that the very idea of her extremely neglected character together with my own would revolt her that much.  But I guess it did.  So, whatever...

I know this is "Facebook [parasitic bomb]", but willingly backing out of a toxic friendship is one of the hardest things I have ever done.  I'll probably be over it by morning, though.  I'm just having regrets, at the moment.  Like... "Why did I take her up on that offer when she wanted to send me her porn roleplays?"

But seriously, I'm going to miss her.  She was a good friend when she wasn't being indifferent.  ... which happened 90% of the time.  ... and only toward me.  I saw the signs.  I just chose to ignore them for two months...  -_-

It's a cute one.  But I might be biased.  I like bike shorts and pink.

Sorry, I made a typo.  I meant to say "in her avatar". (It reads that way now, at least.)

*shakes fist*  This one!

Also: "I love that character in Sakura's avatar.  She's so cute!  And that's an awesome outfit!"
Though to be fair, I think that 9 times out of 10 whenever I see it.  X3

The only thing that comes to mind there is "Oops!".

Oh, hm.  Now both of those functions I mentioned work.  Weird...

I'm getting that error.  Except that nothing gets marked as read.

I also can't seem to use the "New Posts Since Last Visit" link.  It displays absolutely nothing.  TxT

Right now, I'm pissed off that I bit inside my cheek last week.  Because it still.  [tornado fang]ing.  Hurts.  All day.  Every day.  It's probably infected.  My mouth is a god damn toxic waste dump.

It'll heal.  It always does.  It just takes a lot longer than I'd think it would.

It's better than Miracle Whip, I can tell you that much.

Incidenally, I think Miracle Whip is like my country's version of "Marmite" -- "Either you love it, or you hate it.™" (Best.  Slogan.  Ever.)

Someone played the "I have [disorder]" card elsewhere, so I stepped in and told them that it was a cop-out and it doesn't entitle them to jack [parasitic bomb].

Pisses me off when people do that.
Marry me.

Oh, kick ass.  I didn't even notice that.

And yes, I know.  Bowser was in an arcade game, too. (At least three, actually: Mario Kart GP 1/2 and, of course, Vs. Super Mario Bros..)  So the movie actually has me on a pure technicality.  XP

Fan Games / Re: Mega Man Perfect Harmony (4-player Cooperative Fan Game)
« on: December 08, 2012, 11:45:38 PM »
...  T_T  Well, now I genuinely feel like an ass.  I had you pegged all wrong, for some reason.  I really don't know why, but I honestly thought you were one of those guys who were like "My game is the greatest!"  But you're really not at all like that!  You're a very down-to-earth and open-minded guy who wants to make everybody happy without making himself too unhappy in the process.

Rud, I genuinely apologize for misjudging you.  You are a good guy and your reply shows that.  Thank you.

On the topic of the game, I'm a bit of a hardcore Rockman snob.  If even the slightest thing is off, I notice immediately.  Even in something like SuperDanny 2, that felt absolutely as smooth as playing any of the NES titles, I noticed things that were off.  But I also noticed things that were absolutely spot-on!  Unfortunately for the rest of the gaming community, SuperDanny 2 is pretty much the standard to which I hold all other fan games now.

Several things are wrong with Perfect Harmony right now, as far as authenticity goes. (It's still in beta, as you said.)  However, you were right.  As you said in the other post, all I did was harp on the stuff that was wrong, bad, or even just plain different from the usual formula.  I barely even said a paragraph on what you did right, and even then, I still had negative things to say.  To be perfectly fair, I think this game project has a lot of good ideas.  Four-player co-op seems like it could easily be a lot of fun!  And heck, it probably is, even in its current status.  Plus, being able to play as some of the fan-favorite characters is always a good thing.  You definitely tried to keep things pretty authentic, as far as how the characters controlled, and even added several unique features and functions to each character, most of which can be unlocked by simply playing the game. (Better charge shots, Forte's triple-jump, etc.)  The boss characters are also really unique, even for a Rockman game, and require considerably a fair bit more strategy than "run in and shoot them until they die".  And of course, a lot of the stages are pretty cool, though several of them could definitely use a bit of polish.

I think that you are very much on the right track so far.  The game seems to be about finished, but needs a lot of tinkering and re-balancing before it's ready for its big "v1.0" release.  Granted that you're not going to be able to please everyone, but if you can make a game that most everybody is happy to play, and something that you yourself are happy with, then I think you will do great things to bring a sense of... well... "perfect harmony" to the fan community.  :)
