aelia...you have a dream about the sims community, and a large wankfest within, and in your dream, you leave rather a bitchy comment.
Then you wake up with the 'oh GOD, I need to delete it because it was too bitchy, and I can't be bothered with the ensuing argument. I may or may not, even after realising that it was just a dream, checked to make sure that that journal did not exist, and that I never commented on it.
I don't even know why dream!self was commenting on that, I barely know the persons involved, nor have I ever exchanged words with them. The drama was though, entirely plausible, and I was in full agreeance with the 'mean' side.
Right. On that note, I am going to have a lovely strong coffee, and some malteasers for breakfast. :)

Date: 2009-10-18 08:30 am (UTC)You know, I take on a lot of requests, mostly out of a misplaced feeling of guilt, but most of the time, I'll make something I'll like but the requester won't. So. Idk. Usually I just keep it to myself then. I am a horrible person.
I had a file that broke my game too (as you know XD) and it took me three weeks of slogging through folders with the 50/50 method, because I don't have a life. I can imagine it'd take...months if it was a sideline project. But I found I really, really enjoy organising stuff now, going through with WW and deleting recolours I don't like, ect. And my Downloads is a bit smaller too, but I doubt that will last for long. XD
If you ever need someone to take previews, I'd be happy to, just as a kick up the arse to go in-game for a change, but no worries. I know you're sekritly a super sekrit agent of sekrit cc that's sekrit.

Date: 2009-10-18 09:10 am (UTC)Sorting one's downloads folder is a strangely enjoyable thing sometimes, yes. Particularly the satisfaction of the compressor XD. I hardly use the WW anymore other then quick and dirty recatergorising of clothing. I am one of those wierd persons who prefers SimPE (I cannot stand binning in the WW for example...I think it was you I have already whinged to about this? XD)
I make no bones about the colossal size of my downloads folder XD A disturbing amount of the size is my own crap too :/
Thanks for the offer, though I don't think I have anything outstanding to post (there is that set of Stajl/SixSixSims seperates, but that can wait XD). Being a sekrit agent sounds good though :D

Date: 2009-10-18 02:14 pm (UTC)I've never had anyone be really rude to me ("where's my request??") but I have had someone PM me about something I said I'd do but didn't, and I still feel really bad for not doing it (it was simply just beyond my skill level, though I could probably do it now...)
I do tend to bite off more than I can chew, mostly to keep me occupied. And then I feel stressed and have to take a 'hiatus'. Oh shit I just diagnosed myself.
SimPE still gives me the shits, tbh. I can do most things with it, including extracting GMDCs and stuff WHICH SEEMED AMAZING THE FIRST TIME I DID IT OMG, which is all I really need it for (along with gen/townying stuff and extracting sims), but I am still scared of pressing buttons in case...I die or something. Or worse, my game does.
My downloads used to be 10GB+ when I was into the editing community (who STILL haven't got over Jirka and Stefan skins and photoskinned clothes, blergh), but now its a more reasonable 3.4GB. I don't think my contribution to that size is massive. XD My projects folder annoys me, its fucking huge.

Date: 2009-10-18 02:43 pm (UTC)I would have said she was a passive agressive cunt more than a raging one - now *that* is a mental image to behold. I may have just died a little inside.
I've been (gently) prodded as to the status of something I've promised to do - which in both cases was actually pretty fucking justified seeing as though I hadn't updated it in a month XD. I have a very bad habit of doing that. I've not had any rude ones other then M other than no-post wankers with the PMs who don't really count anyway.
Do you do that thing where you post a picture of a work in progress and then realise that you can't complete it because of say, your skill level but everyone has already gushed over it and then you feel obligated to finish it because you'll be letting them down (or some such imagined crap) and thus commence stressing and hair ripping? Or is that just me?....I think I just revealed faaaar too much about my mental functions. Pay no attention to the freak behind the curtain XD
GMDC extracting IS FANTASTIC. STILL. As is raiding Eaxis packages for hidden shineys. I must admit though, that I am incapable of extracting sims. IT ARE HARD.
...my downloads folder is still around the 10GB, and I NEED IT ALL. Yes. I think at one stage before I culled it, my own shit was about a gig in size. This does though include some unreleased stuff I halfarsed for myself. I did lol at the editting community bit - you really would think that they would have moved on...or at least refined and improved their methods for creepy skintone procuring, or photoskinning clothing, but apparently not. I'm surprised they haven't joined forces with the asian creators and killed us all.
Well I shall leave you with that fucking novel of woe and gloom (XD, which does not reflect me at all for I am a reasonably cheerful being) and go to bed :D 'night!

Date: 2009-10-19 01:10 am (UTC)I don't have a few EPs, and I often pine for H&M meshes XD Mostly due to Cosette, it must be said.
I tend to try it, and do the 'basics' but then not follow-through with the execution. I don't usually get much gushing, but it doesn't bother me :) Don't worry about mental functions, though I understand if you don't want to talk about publicly. With you being so high-traffic and all. ;)
Urgh, passive aggressive cunts. The worst kind. The kind GOS attracts, it seems.
The editing community is completely different, in so many ways, except the fact that there are still bitches and cliques and stupid people with no talent *cough* but at least...my/our part of the comm is more asthetically pleasing. at least for me. and also doesn't have broken-ankled sims masquerading as art.
Gosh, 10GB! If it were all about size, you'd be a porn star or something.
I hope you had a good sleep *hugs*

Date: 2009-10-19 01:54 am (UTC)If you ever want any meshes extracted just shout. Cosette's recolours are fantastic. (and I have the need to fix shoes, if not with boots, then suddenly, wedges, EVERYWHERE. I am not a fan of sandals, even irl)
Ah, see I make the somewhat fatal error of say, posting a hair mesh I attempted (and trashed because damn, it failed hard. And that was before I tried to give it animations) and suddenly a number of people were all 'oh hai, we has hair mesher nao' and I'm flailing about going 'no, no you don't!' I do intend to try that again though - i want moar dreadlock meshes.
(heh, I don't have a problem with people seeing my mental fucntions. Anyone who talks to me for more than five minutes is exposed to the bizzare workings of the pile of mush in my skull. Particularly those who ha ve the misfortume to encounter me late at night/v. early morning in #gos) I'm high traffic?
I've never gotten into the editting communities, so I have no clue of the bitchiness that goes on. (Though, if it's anything like the kinda insanity that goes on on DA, then dear god!) I'd really like to get back into the story telling kinda things though. I miss doing that.
I think that 10GB pales into insignifigance next to some peoples - I have the obsessive need to have large, complete sets of everything which does no good for my harddrive space. It also does not help that I am more than content to play Maxis Match beside Enayla-esque shiney without batting an eyelid.
(I would have had a better sleep if my accursed little sister did not hold the view that if she is awake, we all have to be awake)

Date: 2009-10-19 12:49 pm (UTC)WEDGES AWW YISS.
I am aware I am babbling.
Sorry for taking ages to reply, I went to bed early when Fleur said she had stomach flu. I'm awful when it comes to other people's illnesses, I always end up feeling ill in sympathy. Bad mind.
The editing community is more based on being nice to your face and bitching about you behind your back. Before the explosion of gos wank (there's an image for you) most mean sekrits were editing/SCF based. If I am honest with you...I would respect certain editors more if they used their photoshop magic to make CC that everyone can use, instead of (often bizarre) pictures for everyone to fawn over, but whatever.
Aw, you should deffo try again with your hair mesh, if only to laugh at it when it goes wrong (i don't mean that horribly; sometimes I crack up with the stuff I fail to make, but maybe that's just me.) I'm not really a fan of dreads, mostly because they aren't shiny enough for my preference >;(
I used to play the same, up until recently, when I canned Maxis match/goffy/photoskinned shit to make my game exclusively grunge, neon, and prerty shiny skintones. I mostly play the game to breed, if I'm honest, and I'm a bit sadface about the fact their are no 'genetics-based' forums (in English, anyway).
Blah blah penis.

Date: 2009-10-19 01:17 pm (UTC)WEDGES FTW. When all my work is over and done with, I intend to go back and replace all of those wierdarsed sandals with Gelydh's wedge, and all will be well with the world.
(And don't worry about not replying fast enough, you're talking to the person who either answers straight away, or leaves said message for a fortnight then frets over not answering it earlier XD)
I've often wondered about that in the editting community - In some I've seen (trawling through teh Flickrs for the occasional peice of hidden content in there) I've come across so many painstakingly drawn on bits of CC that I swear would have taken the same amount of time and effort and would have netted you a tonne more sycophants had you made it a 'real' piece. They puzzle me ... though that could just be the drawing based artist in me having a seizure over the anatomy fail that crops up XD
I fully intend to try again with the hair mesh - the first attempt was more a testing the waters kind of thing where I saw how hard it was, and whether I would cock up royally. It was surpisingly easy to do, the only bits that got me was the animation (which is odd, because, y'know, I am a fucking animator!) and I'm none too good at modelling from scatch, and that just takes practice. I'm mostly going to attempt dreads, a) because I have a character that has them, and I find it hilarious to fling her in game and see what hijinks she gets up to, and b) cylinders are easy to mesh and manipulate. If/when I figure this meshing gig out though, rest assured that there will be shiney. And curly. I want moar curly hair meshes too. I want curly hair.
...you play the game for breeding as well? Genetics facinate me disproportionately.
Rant rant nipples ;P
(argh dreamwidth, hurry up and collapse this damn thread already! one word a line is ridiculous!
