Common GM/C Misconceptions

Posted by Takagi on July 14, 2006, 12:18 p.m.

Common GM/GMC misconceptions irritate me.

MOST IRRITATING:

Person A:"I need a script to save my game!"

Person B: -insert wrong code-

Person A: "Doesn't work!"

Person C: "I guess you'd need a .dll for that."

Can't get something answered? Use a DLL!

MOST COMMON:

Person A: "Hey, is this a good idea? You're a square that jumps around dodging obstacles like spikes and fire, and you try to reach the other side of the room. I've got a demo here: -some url-"

Person B: "No. It's been overdone. This game would NEVER be fun. I'm not going to even bother downloading it."

I just described Jumper!.

MOST IMMATURE:

Person A: "Hey lol omg, I was liek, 4 real? omg omg lmao!"

Please, don't use lol and other chat speek a lot. A girl I know uses them a lot and I can't help but think she's giddy at all times.

Me: "Hey, are you going anywhere this summer?"

Her: "lol no!"

MOST MISUNDERSTOOD:

Person A: "Is it possible to make a GM game on a console?"

Person B: "Yeah."

Person A: "How?"

Person C: "No, you can't."

Person B: "Well, you could use a .dll."

That was built up stress.

i adore your blogs as well! they're awesome! now we can see into the stresses of a mod's life! awesome, anyways, the wierdest thing is that newbies think that they have more experience than experienced users, so they flame them and call them noobs when we try to help…

it's kind of awkward…

When they ask for help with an example you made, and as code, they just send you your own file, unedited.

I like to laugh at those guys…noobs…who think a DLL is a solution for their problem.

I still remember a guy who said something like this:

"I need an MMORPG DLL that does MMORPG stuff"

Nothing else, crap, isn't it?

Why noobs like so much GMC?

You need to rant more often. It's fun to read.

People always want their life handed to them on a silver platter. No one wants to work for anything because kids/teens are typically lazy asses. Some adults are too. People don't look for anything on their own, and when they don't see a solution right in front of their face, they say "must need a .dll." beacuse they want everything pre-coded. If you're going to use so many DLL's why not make your shitty game in C++ or whatever lanugages you write DLLs in?

XD "Jumper Clone!" someone yelled at me like that when I made Qube.

And they are utterly differnt.

Heh, I remember someone yelling at you for having Qube being too similar to Cubes Online…

…brainless…probably said that because it carried a similar name.

Oh, and for the record, shad0w is here, so there's another moderator. For the record.

RockyRan - I remember that too! They said the sprites looked alike, too. I even had to get a screenshot of both games, and compare them for the guy.

Let me quote one of my favorite quotes - ala something sent to SleepinJohnnyFish.

Can you make me an MMORPG example that works on a CELERON?????

Lol… that one was good.

Dude, Takagi, your blogs are great. They are funny cause they're so true.

Hehe. The most irritating pisses me off as well. Like, I hate seeing noobs attempt at answering the questions of other new users. Sometimes I almost find it funny.

Heh. If I ever get stressed from being an admin here, I might go power-happy. ^_^

Or not… It's up to you.
