better make myself known

(Stunty) #1

I’m an artist. I’ve never been any good at drawing or painting, but believe me when I say, “art is the only thing I seem to be able to do in this life without fucking up!”
I play guitar (I don’t care how many strings it has) I read lots of books, I sit and think for days on end, sometimes about absolutely nothing, and I write a lot of words down, whether it be on paper with pen, or on hard drive with fingers - its all the same really, they’ll all be lost in a freak accident, one day - (such is a life contaminated from the knowledge of a definite mathematical association between the probability of something bad happening, based on previous knowledge of frequency, the level at which something bad becomes too bad for my sense of humour to deal with)

the reason I’m here is because I use my copy of Photoshop like a highly successful musician earning millions uses cocaine. and all my friends seem to be busy twisting their way round the remains of their own monumental neurosis… too busy to adequately share my continuing state of delight and sheer happiness of my discovery of lost minds and strange bipedal mammalian fashion victims seeking out others with whom they consider to be, like themselves, well rounded and square of pocket - that is the world of Photoshop in Stunty’s mind today.

it was months a go now - I can’t even be bothered attempting to recall any memory what-soever, never mind a ‘specific’ memory.
It’s a strange idea, becoming emotionally attached to a steady current of electrons, powered by nothing more than the miracle of photosis and a guarantee of being the first to ever know which way was the shortest route - and keeping count on their way too.
I think its going to be a relief when I finally get a chance to talk to another human being who I consider to be, like myself, well rounded and square of pocket.

I’m sure it will be a pleasure to make your acquaintances as we meet on the intersecting roads we all tread through time.

oh, and if your wondering why I choose a question mark for a message icon - don’t worry, the questions marks for me.

this might be a silly question, but do you actually map, or even play q3 engine games? …if not your probably better off posting on a personal add site, asking for like minded pen pals, if that`s what your looking for.

most of the posts in this forum are technical, and usually focusing on ydnar`s q3map2 compiler or the q3 engines shaders… we rarely have “off topic” chats in here.

i was more curious… what’s your point, anyway? (i think he’s introducing hisself/himself/herself)

@jetscreamer, if your asking what I ment, I thought it was self explanatory.

but for the purpose of clarification, I was trying to help the guy.

if you or anyone else wish to chat to him about non q3map2 subjects, you can use pm or a general forum… Im not being rude, Im just pointing out that this forum is not the place to do that, and considering the number of people who have read this and not responded, I think most people here will agree with me.

I don’t play any games at all - (well, not video games anyway) - but I think you could be right,
I think I’m in the wrong place!!!
It was my intension to acquire membership to a forum populated with other like-minded Photoshop users.
still, your the first two to say anything to me all day so far - that can’t be a bad thing.

oh well, it won’t be the last time I do that either - I bet you?

This isn’t a Photoshop forum. It’s a forum for Q3Map2, a compiler for Quake 3 engine levels. Offtopic stuff just doesn’t really come up that often. There are other SD forums for that purpose.

Try the sijun.com forums. They’re a pretty good resource (and Craig Mullins is a regular there).

@Stunty, no harm done, and I can see if you found this forum from a search engine, how you, or anyone else might get confused about the conversations that go on here… as some people here do use photoshop, or like myself paintshop pro, but it`s secondary to us making textures and maps for the games we modify.

good luck in finding a suitable forum for your needs, and there probably are several dedicated photoshop ones out there, although I haven`t looked myself.

also you might like to check out the very large online art communities like http://www.deviantart.com/ which one of my photoshop using pen friends has her work on, and apparently they have forums.

failing that, there are personal adds where people list there hobbies, again if you do a search for those, your bound to eventually find suitable people to chat to.
