Why bother doing a new release

For the past year I have been busy learning to code; yes I was a swapper and never had the time to learn, but now I can. I want to release something(~) and add back to the scene. I thought it would be great for a one-man show to thank some of the fine help here. The code would not the best, but certialy not the worst.

My question to everyone is: Why should I bother releasing an intro or little demo that would be old-skool, when I see the majority of user comments on releases shit-can everything? Would I get nailed because I'm a newbie coder? Or are there more mature minds here?

I need encourgement!

Wozza.

Quote: hehehe, its more of a 'because I can' situation :) It started when I wanted to make my fullscreen sideborder DYSP ntsc compat, and grew from there :)

As for your rant wdr:

1. you know nothing about the situation on lemon.
2. you seem to have megalomania - go talk to a professional - the world doesnt revolve around you.
3. you accuse slarti of stalking you, and then spend time making a slarti mcfly poster? egads!
4. your characterisation of slarti following me around is incorrect - he only checked here cos I mentioned your insane post. He commonly gives me urls of insanity he sees around too... we often sit on irc in disbelief.
5. your post was too long to be sane - and arent you meant to be ignoring me? Or is this just a precursor to more abusive pm's and then your usual 'hahaha, I knew all along what the response would be' style rants?
6. Engage slarti in battles? I see 2 posts in here from him, both completely dismissive of you. Are you sure you arent accusing him of something you see in yourself?

Youre a scary, scary man.


1) Poor Slarti took his feelings to a tagline, was forced to remove that and put it into his 'Location' instead. Kim Lemon told him to remove it and he refused. A normal person would comply, Slarti was unable to comply and insisted he keep the 'twonk' tags. It's part of the disorder. He also harassed a moderator with DOZENS of messages because the offending entry was removed with force.

2) The world does not revolve around me nor would I wish it to. What I would like is for you and Slarti to find healthy posting habits that don't entail my threads - yet you seem unable to.

3) LMAO. Dude, as if I made that poster in the 10 seconds between replies. Obviously you aren't aware of the 'friends' on my side of things. But yes, Slarti is a stalker.

4) Slarti is a stalker plain and simple. If he were local, I'd be almost fearful. No sane person goes around CSDB hunting for someone elses message AND entry comments AND making one liners about them. Slarti however does. Fact not fiction.

5) In order to communicate, we need to type. Put down the comic book and pick up a novel to grasp that :D You were on ignore but I wanted to read what you said, hoping it would be about the original topic. Alas, no, more obsession.

6) I refer to the last two days not today's posts. In one day alone there were four post made to every single one of my replies. In fact, I think that he sat on here waiting because they appeared within very short time. Is that healthy? lol

You will earn the right to call me a scary person when I am booted from four forums, refuse to change my profile because I NEED to put the people who've hurt me within it, when I smoke enough drugs that I have to scream to my friends to help me, when I run around the forums leaving messages after every one of your posts and also include you in the one-liners.

Until then, the title of scary person is occupied by someone else. Hehehehe.... anyway it's poker night.

1. Completely wrong - Slarti was indeed asked to remove the twonk from his tag, but the twonk in his location came from an admin. This was all periphery anyway. Again, you know nothing about it. The problems actually arose because the mods were being too harsh, and Kim let them know it. Unfortunately Kim also put faith in people who let him down several times before, and backstabbed longtermers who'd only ever done good things for the forum. His choice.
2. This wasnt your thread....again, megalomania.
3. OK, because you keep saying it, it must be true. uhuh.
4. OK, so now youre repeating yourself. Keep saying it, really, and it will become true.
5. uhuh. So you took me off ignore cos you *had* to see what Id said, and Im the obsessive one....riiiight....
6. Slarti has been kicked off more forums than that :) Most of them he was quickly reinstated, because he was *right*. His opinions are rarely popular or diplomatic, but the guy knows what's going on. Witness the recent c64 DTV forum fiasco. Simply because Slarti refuses to say 'yeh, you ripped me off, its ok, and please! do it again!' he is a 'troublemaker'.

Answer me one question in all honesty - when you showed Slarti's posts to your 'collegue' who came up with an amazing ascii only based 'diagnosis', did you show him/her your own posts at the same time?

Please explain!

I see no irony here - if you meant that its ironic that if you actually witness the release of my demo, it will be NTSC anyway, the demo will be both PAL and NTSC compatible throughout.

Sorry if that wasnt clear. But its still not irony ;)

Best example of irony Ive heard, from Friends - Joey's neuro-surgeon character on DOOL falls down a lift shaft and sustains massive head injuries - and dies. The only surgeon good enough to save him, was himself.

Thats irony. Here endeth the lesson :)

Quote: I left the 'scene' but I never stopped coding. I've some PC demos here that I've written and a few (eg. Show Up) demos on the 64 that I have not put out.

It still qualifies me to form an opinion on your demos that I would not do for a newcomer.

I think this will adequately rectify your confusion over my 'talking shit' :D

LOL looks like Slarti McFly posted as usual only after Simon posts. The so called 'victim' once again shows his passive-aggressiveness. Notice Slarti McFly will only post when it is 'safe' to do so (eg. immediately after Simon). In fact, in another thread he posted 4 follow ups to my every message like a true obsessed fan boy would and should. Sadly he has yet to understand his words will never be read (ignore mode is a beautiful thing).

I always wondered why you were so obsessed with young men, Mr. Strickland.
