Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

[NuttsnBolts]

So, another small off-site bitch but

First time I have ever had someone moan at me for changing my profile pic cause I was bored of the other one

Because it apparently "confused her cause she doesn't read usernames but goes on profile pictures" so therefore I'm not entitled to change it apparently XD

SHOCK HORROR

@The Elvenqueen

Back on my EA-UK forum days I had the same avatar for about 3 years. A little 80x80 (cause that was the Max size) pic of Amaterasu from Okami with "Nutter" on the side.

Guild... And I change my avatar every few weeks.

[Dion]

I change my avatar whenever I make a new one that I like. Which is... decently often.

How online squabbles tend to go, or whenever I roleplay battle against my roommate. (My roommate was never very good at roleplaying...Sorry. ^3^')



I've had a bad habit picking unfortunate usernames online, that get witted at by every absolute cretin on the face of the earth. Honestly when going through my usernames. SleepingSilence is the most innocuous, but probably the most boring. I don't have any personal story or connection with the username. It's not something I just made up for this site, but might as well be.

I was also considering changing the random icon, to be art I commissioned, so I can stop stealing images like a lazy hack that can't just open up photoshop. (I mean I guess, I did -barely- alter the picture...) But I don't need people going through identity crisis, or showing off that I'm the type of nerd that commissions art. <.<

...Oh, it's too late for that now isn't it?

@SleepingSilence

My Avatars are generally Google images.
I cannot be bothered with making full avatars on photoshop regardless of knowing how to.

I would love to make avatars on PS but I don't want to invest the money into it... Grumble grumble I don't get a student discount Grumble grumble.

Can recommend GIMP. Not the best at image making, but it works well enough for me to make images transparent or add borders and stuff.

[NuttsnBolts]

You can download old Photoshop CS2 from Adobe themselves. They released some universal keys for it so you don't need to pay for it. For making avatars and signature images it's totally fine as half the time you only need the crop tool, some brushes, and a few filters. Anyone that says you need the latest kit for hobby stuff like that doesn't know what they are talking about.

The only people who need that gear are professional artists, or graphic designers, and if Google images is the way you collect your resources for a piece of art... then you're not a proper artist.

[vancexentan]

I when people complain about a lack of posts but when you finally get around to posting it takes them up to three, or more days to reply themselves to the point where the rp might just die out. Whats the point in complaining if you're not going to follow up on what you're complaining about?

Also if you guys don't mind me complaining about real life stuff but I feel like I really need to

LONG rant personal rant

, my fucking asshole brother is so god damn selfish. My parents want me to go to bed earlier...ok that's fine I've been wanting that for the past half a year. Problem being my brother seems to only think about himself because I agreed to go to sleep at 1 in the morning, despite being far ready to go to bed earlier, in order to get SOME sort of semblance of 'rest'. The fuck graduated high school about a year ago now and has been doing jack all for a year so he can get up almost whenever he wants. Me? I've been going to college, not too much compared to some but still college, for five, six years now doing two, or three classes per semester. Yet when he brings it up he plays the 'victim' which is utter bullshit. It gets to the point where I want to grab the nearest blunt object and smack him with it at times. 'oh he just yells at me' fuck that! It's literal one in the fucking morning! Sometimes three! And I'm a extremely light sleeper you could poke me and I'd wake up. Let alone someone clicking a fucking mouse literally right across the room. You think I, by choice, am getting myself out of my fucking bed at 2 in the morning because I like being a fucking douche bag? Like I WANT something to complain about? He can't sleep either apparently because he's whining about his medicine not working despite staring at a computer screen literally 24/7.

It's one thing if you're a fucking pc gamer. It's another if you legit can just go downstairs put on a fucking headset, and watch youtube, or play whatever on the ps4 until you're satisfied enough for the night and then go back to bed. Oh you're friends aren't on the ps4? Well fuck its not like you spend LITERALLY 16 SOME HOURS ON THE COMPUTER BEFORE HAND with the occasional bathroom break. He didn't even fucking do his own homework in high school. Our mother fucking did most of it. He has no sense of fucking professional pride in my honest opinion. At least my asinine youngest brother actually has the sense to do the latter when I ask him a few times. And it's not like I'm rude all the time. I actually think I'm a really honest, and respectful person. Most others think I am too. Do I have my faults? Yeah I got plenty but when people want to fucking SLEEP I go out of my way to fucking let them. I put my lights out, I put my mouse underneath something, I GO INTO ANOTHER ROOM, and otherwise do my damnest to not be a fucking prick.

Jesus christ I believe I could go on forever if you read all of this for some reason thanks. I appreciate you doing so. It feels nice to at least get it off my chest. How I wish I didn't have a medical condition that hampers me so badly that I can't live alone otherwise I'd have gotten a real job, and moved out as soon as possible. I'd rather live in a shitty apartment with barely anything in it than my house sometimes.

@Sirkaithethird

paint.net is what I use -- has a lot of the functionality of photoshop, also is free.

@PrinceAlexus

I understand that. I'm much less knowledgeable than I should be in that field, especially since I've been in graphic design classes. ^-^'

Though I have enough stuff that's been previously made, or recently bought for other projects. That I also likely won't use. <.<

@Sirkaithethird

I pride myself on making good characters but damn lol. If a personality section has a on paragraph minimum, then 90% of the bullshit I write to fill space will be outright wrong ten posts in, and not by character development either.

It's a peeve of mine that I'm expected to be able to put my character's personality into words before I even play them. Even if I have a good idea of their personality and character progression arc before I start (which is rare, which is why I can't advanced rp), I struggle to put it into words.

@Silver Carrot

What I've done to get around that is rather than write the personality you believe they should have, write how they may first appear to someone who meets them for the first time. I tend to find that helps a bit when writing personalities.

That said, most of my characters do change and personalities is that section I think is placed in so the GM can see your writing quality.

[Silver Carrot]

@NuttsnBolts

That's actually quite a good idea!

@Silver Carrot

So so yes.

I try to let Mt charecter evolve somewhat to fit how things turn out to be and start abit more flexible to work out what things need to become based on plots and balence.

You cannot just define everything on the CS as everything naturally evolves to some degree.

[Carlyle]

People who complain a RP is dead despite not being one of the remaining few active posters. The player base may not have been as big as it once was, but people are still posting somewhat frequently. Bonus points if it happens to be the GM complaining about it.
