The Facepunch "Yap and Blabber" Chat Thread - Developers

Yeah but then the mormons will send you a cease and desist letter. Finally, someone else in utah who isn't mormon :v:

[QUOTE=MaddaCheeb;36268532]Yeah but then the mormons will send you a cease and desist letter. Finally, someone else in utah who isn't mormon :v:[/QUOTE] My two fellow Facepuncher friends and Facepuncher girlfriend are atheists as well. One of my friends maps as well, not sure if he comes here often anymore, though.

Fuck... I forget where I asked how to use CSS Content with my GMOD Config... Now I am afraid to ask because I might forget what page.

As stated in a certain other thread, I believe that this forum could use a little bit more kindness to new members and less dick rubbing of veterans of the section.

True, but most of us are just too conditioned to the standard. It's how we were treated and it's how we treat. It's not all negative though, this kind of attitude keeps out the XD kids and the meme-spitters.

I don't think that applies when the kid is 12.

I was a XD kid and a meme-spitter when I first visited here 5 years ago, but I eventually out grew it, not from people being asses to me, but rather just being around the community.

Something like this, though, really depends on the person. Some people prefer to make friends and be polite, others prefer to keep things efficient and clean. If you find a middle ground, it compromises a bit of each.

If you're rude and dickish to XDKiddies (or to anybody new in general), they usually don't "transition" into mature architects (they really only transition because they're fucking scared of you). They just get their feelings hurt and leave without even getting the chance to become a real mapper, or a member of the community.

[QUOTE=mopman999;36269423]Hey it worked when they did it for me :downs:[/QUOTE] Okay, so it worked for one person, great. Thing is, we're killing the possibility of this community to grow. It seems very small from what I've seen and throwing new members out with elitism and garbage rules they likely don't know about would not be healthy if we want this section to bloom. [editline]10th June 2012[/editline] I, at least, would like this section to become more active than it has been as of late.

Something other than talking about stair-sex in blabber and a few "artistic" pictures a day in Pimpage.

I would love a collab, its like a blending of all the styles people come up with, but sadly they get too big or no one contributes.

can't stop listening to the song. it's in my head.

Being harsh on people either makes them leave, or come back with something awesome. Look at luke neasa's before and after. In fact...look at my before and after...

[QUOTE=Mr Anonymous;36270170]Both look shit to me :v:[/QUOTE] Maybe if i put some nike logos on you would like it more ;)

[QUOTE=Eyefunk;36268445]jim[/QUOTE] meh

is it just me or does every ZM map on CSS look like shit?

[QUOTE=Zally13;36266160]Mhm. Have you been working on anything as of late?[/QUOTE] Sorry man, it was like 2 in the morning when I posted and I was just getting ready to sleep. Working on a sort of deathmatch type map at the moment that spawned from the idea of having a really non-linear map, i.e. not having things conform to the grid. Also been doing a lot of modelling, most recently this: [QUOTE=~ZOMG;36249190]Little bit o' progress.

Did I mention my glasses aren't prescription?

I would post in the mapping section much more often if I would just get off my ass and map more. I've been interested in mapping for HL1 recently, I've got a feeling I'll be able to make some fun singleplayer levels, maybe even something for sven-coop.

that's a pretentious and douchebaggy outlook.
