Ladies and gentlemen of the TDM community, we have in our midst a total sociopath by the name of aidakeeley. With an astonishing reputation of -29 and a tendency to speak his/her (I'll use the male pronoun from here on for the sake of ease) mind whenever he feels like it. OMG, I say we throw him right off this forum. He's a plague. A cancer. I can't believe this guy.

 

Who's with me? If we get enough posts in this thread here, maybe the mods will do something about this monster. Hell, let's see if we can't get him thrown of the internet! He's contaminating it with his filth and terrible, terrible pestilence. Begone, aidakeeley, the power of Christ compels you!

From asshat to celebrity: such are the vagaries of the Internet. :mellow:

Ah-ha. I'll recommend the power of tactfulness to enter you.

 

...And speaking of tact, that is all it takes to dismiss and banish argumentativeness. From you, from me, from moderators, and from our enchanting Aida.

 

Childish. Not child-like with its lovable connotation and sense of innocence, but child-ish. I expect better from people with the patience to tail two guards over to Ramirez' hidey-hole. Or track a wounded pagan through an unfamiliar forest. Or attend to an endearing ghost of a young girl in a haunted Cradle.

 

Y'all know better. That means you, bambini, and you, Aida.

No need to defend aida MD, this thread is just a social experiment to see if my Top-10 joke rings true :laugh:

(...but I don't think bambini is a newb so all the experiment criteria have not been met.)

 

So far, except for farce, no real flames have appeared AFAIK... :unsure:

When I quickly glanced at the thread list here in Off-Topic, I thought I had read "Aidakeeley's Mushrooms". While an unhealthy relationship with 'shroomz would explain a lot of his/her occasionally rather... strange behaviour, it seems that this is not the topic of this discussion. So what is it, exactly? I'm afraid that I didn't get where bambini's headed to.

Yes, our ultimate desire is really to yield more masterful, mind-bending, materialist musings. Under this heading expectn't radiant flames! Unless... clandestine, kaliedoscopic, enigmatic, ribald... subliminal.

C'mon... you can issue a longer rant than that! (That way it'll look like temporal displacement :laugh: ... Plus I love how each thread has a link back to each other, I'm surprised that it didn't cause some sort of programming loop :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: )

Äh, did I miss sth.? And what about this flames-stuff? Sth to do wiht getting much hits? And yes, the topic name sounded interesting that is why I´m here. :rolleyes: And another question: 'astonishing reputation of -29' :D Hah, it´s true! Just checked. How did you do this, Aida? And are you female? I already have a girlfriend, so my mind can stand it! B)

The "flames-stuff" is referring to the art of flaming found on internet forums. There's a risk that speaking my mind on the troubling matter of aidakeeley might cause him to flame me here. Of course, if I were doing it deliberately to get flamed (which I'm not), I'd be trolling.

 

No, this is a matter dear to my heart and I just felt that I needed a place to ventilate. In no way am I trying to provoke a reaction or carry out a social experiment that may or may not have been mentioned in another thread on this very forum. Pffft. That would be just absurd.

 

The truth is I hate aidakeeley with a passion that I don't think can be put into words. I hear he kicks puppies.

As a word of warning, I doubt anyone behind TDM or the forum would favor "Off Topic" going the way of "Community Chat". They're not the same, and "Off Topic" doesn't mean "Flamebait Central".

 

Somehow that melds with creating pointless ego stroking type threads, I think.

Yeah, I guess my "Sticky for Inflammatory" idea is kinda like putting the instructions to make a home-made weapon on the national news. Rather than a deterrent it instead gives people "ideas"...

Not that I'll try to exert much brain-power on this but... you are still on bambini's friend list so... :huh:???

 

1) More farce from bambini?

2) "Keep your friends close..."?

3) Sock Puppetry?

 

Eh, have fun with whatever you're up to (whatever floats yer boat). :)

Girl... boy... don't fret about'it...

So... instead let us ponder a soothing visual...

      I moved from Manjaro Linux (rolling release) to Linux Mint (LTS). One of the reasons was that I found the updates a bit too often and long. But now on Mint I get updates every day, although they're usually small updates.

      I'd like to track my level design progress a bit more often now, so I'm using the feed in my profile here.
      I've been working intensively on Springheel's YouTube course over the past few days. I'm currently up to lesson 8. There is so much information that needs to be processed and practiced. 
      I have started to create my own house. As I don't have the imagination to create a good floor plan, I grabbed a floor plan generator from Watabou and experimented with it. I chose a floor plan that I will modify slightly, but at least I now have an initial idea. 
      I used two guards as a measuring tape: The rooms are two guards high. It turned out that I can simply double the number of boxes in DarkRadiant in grid size 8 that are drawn in the floor plan. 
      I practiced the simplest things on the floor plan first. Drawing walls, cutting walls, inserting doors, cutting out frames, creating VisPortals, furnishing rooms.
      I have had my first success in creating a book. Creating a book was easier than I thought. I have a few ideas with books. The level I'm creating will be more or less a chill level, just for me, where I'll try out a few things. I don't have an idea for my own mission yet. I want to start small first.
      For the cellar, I wanted to have a second entrance, which should be on the outside. I'm fascinated by these basement doors from the USA, I think they're called Bilco basement doors. They are very unusual in Germany, but this type of access is sometimes used for deliveries to restaurants etc., where barrels can be rolled or lifted into the cellar. 
      I used two Hatch Doors, but they got completely disoriented after turning. I have since got them reasonably tamed. It's not perfect, but it's acceptable. 
      In the cellar today I experimented with a trap door that leads to a shaft system. The rooms aren't practically finished yet, but I want to continue working on the floor plan for now. I'll be starting on the upper floor very soon.

      Ich möchte nun mal öfters ein bisschen meinen Werdegang beim Leveldesign tracken, dazu nutze ich hier den Feed in meinem Profil.
      Ich habe mich in den vergangenen Tagen intensiv mit dem Youtube-Kurs von Springheel beschäftigt. Aktuell bin ich bis zu Lektion 8 gekommen. Das sind so viele Informationen, die erstmal verarbeitet werden wollen und trainiert werden wollen. 

      Ich habe mich daran gemacht, ein eigenes Haus zu erstellen. Da mir die Fantasie fehlt, einen guten Raumplan zu erstellen, habe ich mir einen Grundrissgenerator von Watabou geschnappt und damit experimentiert. Ich habe mich für einen Grundriss entschieden, den ich noch leicht abwandeln werde, aber zumindest habe ich nun eine erste Idee. 

      Als Maßband habe ich zwei Wächter genommen: Die Räume sind zwei Wächter hoch. Es hat sich herausgestellt, dass ich in DarkRadiant in Gittergröße 8 einfach die doppelte Anzahl an Kästchen übernehmen kann, die im Grundriss eingezeichnet sind. 

      Ich habe bei dem Grundriss erstmal die einfachsten Sachen geübt. Wände ziehen, Wände zerschneiden, Türen einsetzen, Zargen herausschneiden, VisPortals erstellen, Räume einrichten.

      Ich habe erste Erfolge mit einem Buch gehabt. Das Erstellen eines Buchs ging leichter als gedacht. Ich habe ein paar Ideen mit Bücher. Das Level, das ich gerade erstelle, wird mehr oder weniger ein Chill-Level, einfach nur für mich, bei dem ich ein paar Sachen ausprobieren werde. Ich habe noch keine Idee für eine eigene Mission. Ich möchte erst einmal klein anfangen.

      Beim Keller wollte ich gerne einen zweiten Zugang haben, der sich außen befinden soll. Mich faszinieren diese Kellertüren aus den USA, Bilco basement doors heißen die, glaube ich. Diese sind in Deutschland sehr unüblich, diese Art von Zugängen gibt es aber manchmal zur Anlieferung bei Restaurants etc., wo Fässer dann in den Keller gerollt oder gehoben werden können. 
      Ich habe zwei Hatch Doors verwendet, die allerdings nach dem Drehen vollkommen aus dem Ruder liefen. Inzwischen habe ich sie einigermaßen gebändigt bekommen. Es ist nicht perfekt, aber annehmbar. 
      Im Keller habe ich heute mit einer Falltür experimentiert, die zu einem Schachtsystem führt. Die Räume sind noch quasi nicht eingerichtet, aber ich möchte erstmal am Grundriss weiterarbeiten. In Kürze fange ich das Obergeschoss an.

      On a lighter note, thanks to my cat-like reflexes, my superior puzzle skills and my perfect memory, I was able to beat the remastered version of "Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation" in a new superhuman record time of 23 h : 35 m, worship me!
