Pointlessness and Ranting

Posted by DesertFox on May 1, 2006, 8:23 a.m.

Many a times I've seen people asking how do you do this, and how do you do that, and you give them an answer, and they cuss you out because they don't understand your clearly, concisely commented code. (love alliterations)

What is it about lesser programmers that makes them think that we, by law or higher order, MUST ANSWER EVERY QUESTION that they care to throw out? I do my best, I try to make it easy.

Just earlier, I got a message by someone who was posting in reply to a topic that wasn't even their, where I had given an answer about semi-realistic clouds using sprite_set_alpha_from_sprite. It generally consisted of all caps, and words that would give old people a heart attack.

What is it that makes certain people think that everybody owes them something?

I didn't flame you at all, dumbass. I was just inferring that you should be grateful you aren't me. This had nothing to do with you… if anyone had mentioned this I would have said the same thing.

I hardly ever go on the GMC now but when I check it I almost always have a PM asking me for help. I don't mind if it's just one simple question, but asking me to practically make their game for them is too much.

This has happened to me before.

Try proving someone completely wrong and slapping it right in their face. I've done that too.

So what is your pattern of deleting blogs?

ANYWAYS

People PMing questions is annoying…and I don't think SJF was flaming you there,but whatever.Never saw whatever else he posted

As for making an MMOexample,well…that is just asking for trouble,eh?

Lol! N00b! he can't even spell spare right.

Anyways, people never ask me to help.

Thats probably because I've never made anything…
