I gave coloration critique on an item in the TF2 Workshop--and the modeler added me to discuss it! I am always made giddy when other artists are open to constructive criticism and improvement.

And then he said this: Also, are you the same Ren Art that does the reddit art raffles?

It's sort of odd because I only hosted one raffle, but very cool. A small taste of E-fame I guess.

Art school isn't the best cash sink unless you just have a bunch laying around or a steady flow of a lot of it, since the art field is so competitive. A lot of what you are taught can be picked up on your own time (potentially at the cost of pace, idk. I am not improving as quickly as I would like but everybody is different). But she probably enjoys the atmosphere of people with similar skills and interests.

imo talk to her and your family gently, but ultimately it's their money, not yours.

I think she's a pretty great artist from what I'm seeing.

Warm hands. I am clumsy when I am cold--which is a lot of the time.

Keeping your nails short helps too. I don't always remember to until I start accidentally hitting keys.

Getting enough sleep is important. When I was getting four or five hours, I did terribly during scrims. I forgot to do simple things and just couldn't stay focused. Bad reaction time.

Eating before playing might be a good idea.

A lot of water is important. I hate noise, but Mumble makes a helluvalot of it, and it gives me a headache. But I think not staying hydrated contributes to that.

Take breaks of ten or fifteen minutes between hours maybe. Pace, grab some refreshments.

Or get an abortion/put it up for adoption. Clearly he doesn't want to deal with the responsibilities of a child, and having one in high school can severely limit your potential/ability to do things. If she wants to keep it, he's kind of roped in anyway. But I would hope they sat down and talked about this kind of thing before gettin' it on.

I spent too much time away from the game, so I can't hit airshots or jump any more.
Then I feel bad about spending hours playing the game, because I want to improve at DOTA2.
But I should really be working on being less of a trashcan at creative writing, and most importantly, drawing.

Not necessarily Jason Mraz, just a song similar in the softness of it, that's more what I meant.

The broader the advertisement, the easier a sale/trade is. nbd

I don't think rasp is quite the word I want to use, but your voice has a nice quality, right up my alley.

I went and listened to the original. I really prefer yours. Possibly a wee bit pitchy in places, but I'm definitely not a musically-skilled individual, so perhaps I shouldn't try to make that call, haha.

I think your voice would sound nice with something like I'm Yours by Jason Mraz. I would also like to hear you do something more "powerful" with your voice.

tl;dr goodguy mgib, feel good, more please

YEAH I am

Class limits don't seem to be a huge issue with the TF.TV server that I have seen (yet). For the first time in a pub, having an abundance of Snipers and/or Spies didn't damper my fun at all. All-Engineer Badlands would be an impossibility if limits were implemented, also.

Map selection seemed smallish, not what I had anticipated for a rotation server, but they either weren't bad maps or the players made it fun regardless.

Probably the most fun server I have played on in a long time. Almost as good as the first time I played TF2.

I would think so because to maintain the recreational time for video games, competitive at that, a person would have to be at least living decently (most of the time?) and as such they presumably have life experience of some sort to pull from when somebody is seeking advice.

Additionally, I find many people who play video games a lot to be somewhat lacking in the social skills or close-proximity friends departments. So asking on a forum is just easier.

Yeah, I don't know about the nouns and adjectives.

I didn't filter what came into my head first, and I don't know what you can do with that.

1) When I start my computer, Steam is set to autolaunch. Which is great. Except the part where it runs without being functional, and I have to end the process a few times before it actually wants to work.

2) DO YOU WANT TO FOREVER VALIDATE CACHE FILES? YEAH YOU DOOOO

3) Onlinebutjkoffline people. Also

4) Steam client stops working. Can see/hear received messages, but can't access anything. Alternatively, the Community part of the client freezes, everything else functions.
