that’s almost too cruel
almostI had to do this once with Privateer II: The Darkening. It gained a bit when he said “I bet you didn’t play it through, I bet somebody just told you how…” and I was able to smile gently and say “God, possibly, since I wrote the game.” And plainly the Deity was with me that day, as I happened to be carrying docs from my UK agent (who’d done the deal) that showed not only that I was the writer, but the five-figure sum I had been paid. …It was a happy day for me. Not so much for him. I’d never had a referent for the word “slink” for a full grown male before. As in “slink away in utter dejection.” I smiled for at least three days without stopping. And am smiling now… I had completely forgotten about this.
Reblogging because “I beat the game” is fantastic, but “I wrote the damn thing” is even better.
I’m not a gamer but I’ll always reblog these.
Vicious. I love it.
We are a web design company. One day the company chairman calls us in the design studio.
Chairman: You guys do software, right?
Me: Well, yes.
Chairman: Great. There’s another company I’m starting. I want you to write missile guidance software.
Me: Um…
Chairman: Don’t give me that. Software is software.
I’ve recently heard about the incident that occurred during the live-stream involving the accidental leak of markiplier‘s Skype.
I’m going to give you some helpful tips on what to do regarding this issue:
1. Don’t add them.
2. Don’t add them.
3. Don’t add them.
4. DON’T ADD THEM.
5. DO. NOT. ADD. THEM.
Remember recently when Mark had to move? How he was uncomfortable with people finding his house? With people asking to come in or to give him things? This is the EXACT same concept. Adding these people is NO DIFFERENT then walking up to THEIR door, knocking on it, and demanding to talk to them.
Would you like 6 THOUSAND plus people coming up knocking on your door when you just want to be left alone?
No? Exactly.
if you respect and love these men and women or have any respect for Mark when you know it was an accident;
DO
NOT
TRY
TO
ADD
THEM.
Mark isn’t just some youtube celebrity. He is a human being. Please respect that.
ok so since some people don’t seem to know the difference
requests =/= commissions =/= suggestions
requests is when you ask somebody to draw you something *for free* , if they’re ok with the subject, and sometimes the artist keeps a list of all the requests and will try to get around drawing all of them
commissions same as requests except you pay money for the artist to get done your drawings
suggestions are just casual ideas you can give the artist who might get around drawing them eventually, but without any actual expectations to see the finished drawing because doing it or not is completely up to the artist
