Return after 6 years

Posted by ussyless on Jan. 11, 2014, 11:20 a.m.

Greetings, so after 6 years of being banned (not sure what for exactly, i was inactive when it happened, whatevs), i just decided to come back and beg for another chance, good news is, i'm now unbanned, and bankrupt due to all the related processing fees

In the intermediate, i haven't used gamemaker that much, i've been playing with other languages such as lua, c++, actionscript, java, aswell as expression2/cpu in garrysmod

anyway, i haven't taken gamemaker seriously in a while, but recently, I've just been using it to test out ideas, or to help understand technical methods of doing things

I plan to mainly post examples (perhaps leading up to a game), mainly aimed at mathematical stuff, aswell as hardy networking systems (using 39dll)

Just looking at my old contributions is pretty embarrassing, most of them would have been posted when i was between 14-16 years old ( i'm 21 now ), i think i might leave them there for historical purposes

anyway, i'll be starting my return with a SAT collisions "Exploration" example- i've been playing with this for a while, successfully, just doing it again, but with more features

anyway, i'm back, thanks for reading

Welcome back.

I am a little confused. Are you saying that you had to pay to get unbanned?!?

I believe he was making a joke about the system.

Wb.

Edit: Shoot, just as I posted ussyless updated his banner and I was like "Was that there before? Am I going mad? O.o"

it was a little joke with firestorm, it's not serious

I love that conversation in your banner ussyless :P

Me too. Did that actually happen, or was it made up?

Neither have most of us actually, the site may give the impression of still being about game maker but it's just like we haven't redecorated yet and our rooms still look like they belong to tweens.

Mostly we've now all taken on the pursuit of being mad polymath geniuses who can code as well as they can do art and music, something essentially unattainable and which hasn't got much to do with the ideals of renaissance humanism but has much more to do with going though a collective quarter-life crisis.

the conversation in the banner was from a (mmo?) game i made when i was about 14 or 15 lol, don't hold me accountable

great screenshot though, not sure why it's there, i'm guessing a mod put it there

some of us have taken on the pursuit of being insufferable procrastinators
