Was going to edit my post to say Nevermind since others (like Fabrikant and Cavus) seem to know just as much.

I only mentioned Ogre due to anecdotal experience on my part! My b...

:/

(lol :P)

I unironically reccomend DMing Ogre about some scriptng stuff for CYS that you can't figure out via on site guides or googling. At least with me he tended to respond pretty well to that sort of thing.

Maybe that's not the best idea per say, but its nice to have someone you can ask directly when everything else doesn't end up sufficing enough for learning this stuff.

I think, like with any skill, it comes down to understanding the basics, a desire to use the skill itself, and the willingness to learn more about craft behind the skill.

I too was wowed by this, but then I started to question what exactly I'd use it for and if it was worth learning even if its not as "hard as it looks".

I'm probably just really lazy though. Your still young though, you ought to be learning as much as possible before you turn 19! (obviously one should be open to learning new things in general, but its especially important at an early age for reasons I'm sure you can deduce well enough on your own accord! lol :P) (I heard at one point that your brain starts to develop differently once you turn 19, but I never looked into it so idk at this point if that's even one of the main cutoff points anymore...or if there even is one to begin with! So take that with a bit of grain of salt I guess! :/)

Do you have a concrete idea (or even a loose one) for what you want to use this for or is this being driven by a novelty "wow" factor at the moment?

(I'm mainly just asking out of curiosity here! lol :P)

It feels amazing! :D

Reliving...that's probably the better word! :D

Also empowering! (which I'm trying to be responsible with! lol :P)

Sure there were other annoying noobs that popped up in the past, but this feels like the first time I was actually able to contribute something semi substantial to the thread without out annoying the other person!

I am also trying to use this opportunity to see if any of Blister's flaws overlap with my own, even if just a little bit, so I can hopefully learn something from all of this. I'm also trying to tell myself "Is this how other people feel when they see my posts sometimes/try to correct me?". Moreover, I'm also trying to pick up on patterns of behavior that maybe went over my head before.

Define what a "real book" is in this context...

Do online books count? Books on this site?

Does non fiction count? (only certain kinds of non fiction or anything?)

I agree with the sentiment of what your trying to express here.

The way you chose to word this, however, is absolutely horrible!

Its hard for me to put into words properly, but something about the idea of you justifying all your faults by saying "God made me like this" so you don't have to change anything about yourself really rubs me the wrong way for some reason. (I'm not saying this is intentional on your part, but I can see how it would read that way on a first glance)

If I decide to continue this, I'll probably take this to DMs, lest the people here might end up feeling like I'm being too "preachy" or "personal" with my response to you or something. (and also not to make this thread more bloated than necessary)

Why are you letting the next book you read be decided by a community vote? (Does all the book suggestions you got not narrow it down enough for you?!)

Wouldn't it make more sense if you started out with whatever appeals to you the most and then go from there?

"The site works this way."

"Oh...but right here it says they work this way!"

You might benefit from trying to look at the whole of why/how things work instead of needlessly fixating on specific wording of one part of the site and then insisting that your own personal interpretation of that wording is objective fact. Your trying to argue with the people who oversee the site how the site works, using their own words against them without understanding them.

And also, the fact people helped you with your "storygame" doesn't mean it belongs to everyone. You wrote that story. It was your idea. Noone owns it except for you. (basically I'm saying in the nicest way possible that its not anyone else's problem...sorry!)

Gosh...now I'm starting to understand why Mizal got a little pissy at me yesterday...as I was basically doing the same thing on that one thread that your doing now! :O
