  1. Unfortunately, my desktop is quite messy and I opt for no background image.

    Problem is as I have a multi-screen setup, so finding matching wallpapers for each screen is a challenge. Hope to spiff it up one day but admittedly it's a low priority for me right now. xD

     

    I actually have something to add about the backgrounds. I found a neat little program that lets you create an image to use that appears to be three different backgrounds for your screens. If you go to this website and download the dual wallpaper app, it will let you use multiple backgrounds that match up to each screen size. It basically takes these images and makes a single image that will display across all your screens but shows up just like normal wallpapers. I used it, after hours of searching for something like this, when I hooked up my laptop to my TV with an HDMI cable.

     

    There are some other interesting programs but I've only tried the one for wallpapers.

  2. Welcome back Nights. :) Out of curiosity, was it a HDD failure or something worse?

     

    Actually it just started moving so slow. Even though my internet is able to play YouTube videos smoothly, it took my computer way too long to process them. Between constant freezes and slowdowns I decided it would be better to just downgrade to Win7. To me, Win7 is more like an upgrade.

    I would literally have a panic attack if I logged on to see my desktop like that. I'm so much of a neat freak when it comes to my desktop that I have to keep it clean. Folders in folders of folders holding folders.

     

    You could do an image search on google to try and find multiple sizes to match all your screens for a background. You could even just go with separate backgrounds that way you have more diversity while viewing your desktops.

  4. But it's not excessively violent horror

     

    Must not be too far into the series >.> I thought the same thing starting out.

     

    Might not be anime but it's not exactly cartoon-y. I just rewatched W.I.T.C.H and it was even better than I remembered. For once the main characters don't end up fighting over the same boy! Disappointed it didn't get a third season >.<

  5. I'm a bit skeptical. I'm worried that through all the hype and anticipation ... this is going to turn out to be a major let down. They waited so long to do this follow up. I just feel like there's so much they can do wrong that it doesn't leave a large window for the right. I personally will be disappointed if they don't bring back all the original characters for the series. I'd also like to know what the point is. Why bring them back if the next generation of digidestined had already been born (02). It seems a bit sketchy but I'll still check it out just for nostalgia's sake.

  6. I'm sorry about the sudden disappearance guys. I've been so busy lately. To make matters worse my computer crashed out on me so I finally had to get rid of Windows 8 and go back to Windows 7. I still haven't gotten all my programs reinstalled but it's a work in progress. I'm back now. Sorry again for any inconvenience onion-cry2

  7. Usually just a bowl of cereal but occasionally I'll mix things up by actually cooking. Scrambled eggs and grilled cheese is my all-time favorite.

  8. Yeah, that's a really useful tip...I never thought of that ..onion-wall

    Maybe I should write the script in Word doc in screenplay format, showing the dialogue,scenes. Then paste them and edit them in the text editor. That sounds more easy.onion-envy

     

    I'm currently working on 2 otome projects nya~~onion-cup

    one is "Daisuki Da Yo- In summer", still gonna be a short, simple game. (estimate play time 15-20min)

    Another is "Memento Petals", it's gonna be much longer and more in depth. I want to create really nice CGs for it. (There isn't any proper CG in Daisuki Da Yo series.)onion-nervous

     

    My dream is that one day I would make games as good as "Starry Sky","Ozmafia" or "Diablik Lovers".onion-envy

     

    If you need a writer/pre-reader/proofreader for Memento Petals let me know. I'm not great at drawing but I do love literature. I can't promise I'd catch everything but I could catch a lot.

     

    Were you thinking of using voice actors in Memento Petals or just text?

  9. I never use hashtags...

    (FB experiment aiming at fanboys)

    #Loliweek ???

    #Moeday ???

    #Moeweek ???

    Can't decide which hashtag should I use.onion-nervous

  10. Considering there aren't that many good VN's out there, especially English ones, I jumped into this thing with criticism radars on max ^^ I was also really looking forward to it. There were a lot of spelling and grammar errors, I'm guessing you didn't collaborate with a team. When dealing with projects like this, though it appears this was just a starter, you want to have a team at the ready. You need writers, editors, story board artists, artists, the game dev, and a small team for quality assurance. I'm looking at what this is now, which is a fun little game (not to mention cute) that's an alright play. I'm thinking about what this could be given the time and combined effort of a full team and ... there's a difference.

     

    Basically, what you have is great having done it yourself. It's excellent for being a beginner project. Now what you need to do is get a team together to work on your next project and I guarantee you'll see if a difference.

     

    I did leave one thing out when I was listing off the team, voice actors. They aren't necessary, especially in VN's, however, I bet dimes to dollars that a voiced VN would receive much greater attention. Something else to think about.

     

    It was fun, katy ^^ It definitely shows that you're off to a great start! Keep up the good work.

  11. I'll play basketball occasionally and I don't mind swinging a bat here and there. I don't like physical contact sports so I really don't play often. I have a fear of falling down so soccer and football are two I almost never play.

     

    They should make sleep a sport. I'm pretty good at that.

  12. Aww~~That's so cute nya~~~onion-cute

    I can't show my screenshot here cuz I don't have anime desktop wallpaper ...onion-cry2

    must hide my otaku side or else my mom would seriously roast me..and grill...onion-cry

    eh..and fry me..onion-wall

     

    It doesn't have to be anime, it just has to be your wallpaper. For example, I just changed my wallpaper a few days ago (I also cleaned up my desktop >.<)

     

    I took a stock image of Elsa and added some lyrics from 'Let It Go'.

    EDIT: I know them feels. I have to slam my laptop shut when I have a pony background. Anime backgrounds are fine because everyone knows I'm otaku but ... nobody knows I'm a brony >.>

    Astralia has really slow upload....

     

    My upload speed: 0.6

    Your upload speed: 2.15

     

    *sniff* ... *totally jealous*

     

    Your internet speeds are way better than mine ... then again I live in an area that just recently got DSL. In my area I actually have one of the fastest internet connections. I wish we had fiber-optic internet around here >.< lol

  14. Oh I had to tell Coles I wouldn't be available to work those days. I don't get paid leave or anything since I didn't have regular shifts.

     

    Finally got the power bill after waiting nine months... got nine months worth of bills. $742.27... should get a discount cause I am a concession holder unfortunately the bill was under my house mate's name so I had to call up and resign up under my name so I could get a cheaper bill, sigh. They were so unorganised! I cannot believe it would take them nine months to be able to figure out our bills.... since at first they thought they couldn't find the meter or measure the power we were using so I don't even know how accurate this bill could even be.

     

    I'm not sure how things operate in your area but in the USA something like this happens and we sue. We sue for everything. You cut me off driving. Sued. You bumped into me walking. Sued. You talked to loud next to me. Sued. America sues way too much for dumb little things. I guess that was technically a random rant about lawsuits. Did you at least happen to save up enough cash to cover the bill?

  15. Out of curiosity how much do McDoubles and Big Macs cost over there these days?

     

    Big Macs here in Australia are approaching the $5 AUD mark..

     

     

    I agree I wouldn't use it often for home delivery, but during work I might use it more often. ;)

     

    Slightly off-topic but I remember during late night university group meetings we would order Dominoes Pizza to be delivered on-campus for dinner. Ah that was convenient.

    onion-relax

     

     

    Ah but you have Starbucks Coffee which is pretty good.

    onion-cup

     

    McDoubles cost a dollar. They're on our dollar menu. Big Macs are around 5USD.

     

    I always order off the dollar (USD) menu. Ideally the same thing as the loose change menu. Anything else is just so expensive. I will splurge to get a Frappe every now and then because they're so delicious.

  16. It's pretty common to see these threads on just about any forum you go to. Either as a way to see who's got the better internet or just for reference, users post their internet speeds as dictated by speedtest.net in this thread.

     

    It's usually just one post per member but if you change your ISP or upgrade (or sadly downgrade) your internet you can re-post with your updated internet.
