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.
What? You're already power-happy!
Please - not the pit! Don't throw me into the pit! Heeeelp meeeeeeeeeeeeee…..Oh yeah, another common misconception.
Person A: "I made this game. It's my first game, and I'm only 9!"Person B: "I'd rather physically castrate myself than play this game again."Person A: "But I'm only nine! And it's my first game!"Throw in some misspellings in Person A's posts, and voila, you've got a real topic. Sort of. Funny, it takes me longer to poorly spell a post than it does to write a proper one.Don't forget
"I made tihs i liek 5 mintutess lololo11!!!11! plz plya adn raet it on asclae of 1 too 10!!11!!!"Lol, they all happen so much too. People think that the time you spent on it, your age, and your experience matter when it comes to good games. They're dumbasses.
Oh, and there's always "download here. It's an .exe. it's my game. please rate."Yeah they do. =P
Experience, maybe. Time spent, mostly no. Age, no.
