Re: 2D8HP's extended mea culpa and Random Banter #218
Hihi, the funny/good thing about using the mobile skin for the forum is that it actually doesn't show custom avatars. I'm so used to seeing WarKitty as a Wolf-In-Sheep-Clothing, I guess I wouldn't recognize her should I ever use the regular skin.

One of the happiest people I've ever seen on Youtube is a Goth--Nika Harper. Don't think I've ever seen a picture or video where she's not smiling. Could be all an act, of course, but I think it would be difficult to maintain an act for that length of time.

Thanks, I'll be honest in that I wasn't expecting it. I was trying to complement people on their snazzy avatars in a funny way. I love it though, it fits perfectly with how I think of wizards and really is the kind of character I'd play, down to throwing on a dark cloak and face mask to try to remain anonymous.

Kitties are good. Keep the kitty.
(I mean, Nommy is going to choose rat or bat instead of cat when picking his familiar, but that's because I want the cutest familiar possible.)

Huh, your Avatar is your actual RL face? That's bold, reallt bold.
Congrats on the great face, for the record.

I seriously thought you were using the face of some actress or other.

I wasn't expecting mine either. I complimented 2D8HP on his new avatar, and our tiefling friend sent me message basically saying "I'm glad you like the avatar. Have one of your own."

There have been multiple kitties over the years. I think I'm proud of this one though because I made this one and it was hard because I've never done line art before.

Re: 2D8HP's extended mea culpa and Random Banter #218
I do kind of want to make myself a new avatar though. But I think keep the same kitty, just maybe doing different stuff.
Also there were a lot of messages from me to myself in my pm folder...

Yeah, I honestly think it's great. Making this forum more diverse one user at a time.

I think you need to make a new avatar with ALL THE KITTIES! As many as it's physically possible :smalltongue:
Being serious, yeah it's always great when that happens.

Likewise. Actually, I need a new general avatar which looks good even when shrunk to 24 pixels so that I can use it all over the Internet. Sadly, what drawing skills I had managed to work up have rusted now, and if I find the time to start undertaking arts and crafts projects again, those will be physical craft projects, because I've got a lot of fantasy accessories I need to make for myself.
...
And now I started thinking about the Iron Avatarist threads of yore. Those were fun, and I even got a pair of trophies. Ahh, now I'm all nostalgic and wistful!

The time half of that is easy to explain, that's just a product of having finished basic university level. The step into advanced education kinda hit me like a sledgehammer in slow motion. And the next step into the working life was just that all over again. Suddenly, the concept of spontanity has become hard to understand...
ION:
Today I got to be a very expensive babysitter. We have a bunch of guys over from another city to do a software upgrade to a rig, and both I and my team partner have to watch them, which mostly involves standing behind them as they talk about routine stuff which we neither understand nor are a part of. Although I did get to apply the sponginess of my brain to avert an impending disaster, so that's always something.

Yah. I actually am starting to have a social life.
I'm debating between a new avatar with a cat in a box, or one with a bowl of food. I'll probably make both eventually.
In the meantime, I am now playing cookie clicker at work, because it's actually a really good game to play at work.

Yeah, seems to be 'hint/state that you want one and be somebody Honest Tiefling likes'. Alternatively you can take the simpler route of paying one soul or first born child, although not all avatarists accept both options. Unless the Avatar Adoption threads are still running? I honestly stopped checking after a couple of months of nothing I liked when I first signed up.

I'm pretty sure there's a request thread in the art forum, though I'm not certain on that.

Re: 2D8HP's extended mea culpa and Random Banter #218
Yeah I dunno - I'm making my own but I have no idea what i'm doing most of the time and I stole half of it from clipart because I can't freehand anything.

Re: 2D8HP's extended mea culpa and Random Banter #218
So, I've been watching the original Thunderbirds TV show, and I spotted something... peculiar.
Does anyone know if there was ever any scandal involving one of the cast or crew? Because I noticed a definite... *ahem* easily identifiable symbol that became quite common in Europe around the early-mid 20th century.

If you mean how the actual Thunderbird logo for the United States 45th Infantry Division looks pretty close to a swastika then not that I can see. If you mean Nazi's in general that's prooobably because they fought a lot of Nazi's, so they're the bad guys so it's okay.
Otherwise I have no idea what you mean.

That... could be it, I suppose.
There was just a random building in the background with a great big swastika painted on it. Given that the show was made in 1960's Britain, I almost did a spit take when I saw it.
I mean, I recognize that it has a lot of different meanings, based on when and where you see it, but in western Europe? In the 1960's? The meaning is pretty unambiguous.

And how you see it. Make sure it was a manju before jumping the gun.
But yeah no that was probably in Germany, in universe.
