Mal

After 4 years. ??. I was a little exasperated from dealing with baby dreads. ?? 

My concern lies with the blatant copyright infringement, thus the longevity of the game if a person were ever to invest in it. Adverts look great though. :)

That's pretty awesome. Gwen. :)

Haha. The sillyness!

This.. is amazing.

Hiya! I'd be interested in learning about your project, what your goals are, what the tech stack will be, and a few other tidbits. :) I'm a seasoned (4+ years) VB.NET/C#/Unity developer. Here's my Skype: epiphanez

Sigh..

Oh boy.. When are y'all going to get it together and realize that creating an "official" engine is never going to happen? There are TONS of ports out there in various languages; polish one of them and be done with it!

@'or3o': > i had snakebites for a long time and just be careful they dont rub on your teeth. It did until the swelling went down. Kinda why I'm going ball out even with the braces. :)

Sooo.. 8 1/2 months HRT, last Friday I got my ears and lip pierced. Braces went on Tuesday. Almost male fail?  

@'or3o': > Hey look up Fran Blanche on youtube, I have been watching her electronics videos for months (she is an electrical engineer) and just today I found out she is transgender, She is one of the smartest people i have ever learned from and she has some insight to anything you may be going through. Plus she is fucking awsome. You'd honestly be surprised who is trans. Know the Wackowski Brothers (now sisters)? Writers and directors of The Matrix trilogy? Yup, Lana is trans and Andy is now Lilly. :O Not to mention quite a few runway models are trans. Heck, there's tons of people in Hollywood that are trans.

@'SimilakChild': > That is only 1 week on hormone treatment? Damn boi, looking good. 7 months and a week. Nowhere near done. And ty! :) @'Vus': > Best of luck luck on your journey. :) Ty. It's been pretty pleasant so far. Still a long way to go, but I'm hopeful and happy and that's all that matters, right? @'BeNjO': > Would still bang. a/s/l? ;D @'Dr.House': > Congrats, any pics? :D They're in the post, silly! @'Growlith1223': > damn dog, that's an insane change! you're byotifol Daww, ty!! * * * @'Lavos': > @'Mal': > > > Been experimenting with makeup the last two nights and I found a picture from almost exactly a year ago, taken March 3\. So here's a side by side after a year of elapsed time. 7 months, 1 week on HRT. Still a long way to go. Laser sucks! > > > > https://www.dropbox.com/s/roh4exsjnu3h6xi/WP_20150303_004.jpg?dl=0 > > https://www.dropbox.com/s/km7l9cvv88ddxos/03172016%207%20months%20hrt.jpg?dl=0 > >  lol. So is that good or bad? I don't even..

Been experimenting with makeup the last two nights and I found a picture from almost exactly a year ago, taken March 3\. So here's a side by side after a year of elapsed time. 7 months, 1 week on HRT. Still a long way to go.

@'Link': > No one gives a shit. > > Sincerely, > DTK Obviously. :rolleyes: The funny thing about open source projects (Eclipse being a derivative work of Mirage) is that to sell it you must have explicit permission from ALL of it's contributors. There's only been one legitimate sale of Mirage since it's inception over a decade and a half ago. But no one gives a shit, as you said. Buy, sell, trade, and do it openly. :P

@'Link': > Now if you tried to re-sell the engine as your own, that might violate some things within the license for obvious reasons and it would disrespect the developers who put their hard work into it. Goodluck! ^_^ > > - Link Wait.. Isn't that exactly what you did?

Yeah, I just tried writing a lil 2 minute app and I got hung up on conditional expressions and operators.. I've forgotten so much.. Lol. Took me at least 5 minutes to write something as simple as if (bool != true) bool = !bool; Absolutely ridiculous. =/

You don't pick a programming language before you know the technical aspects of what you're creating. That's like driving at night without your headlights on.

@'Zetasis': > Well thanks Mal! A C# engine would be pretty cool, I must admit, but I know that would take alot of work and I don't expect you to really do that for me. I do appreciate the kind words though. Thanks again! Bleh, I don't mind. Would be fun and something for me to do. :) I only have time for one project, whether it be my own or someone else's, so first come first served. I'll be honest and say if what you're using is working well for you (and it seems like it really is!) then stick with it.

Oh.. mah.. gawd.. I love your graphics so much that I'd be willing to rewrite your game in C#. For free. Cause it's pretty. And for that reason only.

Ugh.. At this point I'd program anything and for anyone… but only in C#. :(

What language(s) should programmers be proficient in?

@'Growlith1223': > congratulations! all i gotta say is whatever floats your boat, i aint one to judge :P hope everything goes well! Thanks, Growl. :) @'Rob: > Good for you man!…er...woman....er..buddy! Good for you! > > It takes a lot of courage to do anything like that! At the end of the day, life is too short to be unhappy, and anything that we can do as individuals to make us feel happy is worth it! > > A couple of questions as my own curiosity is piqued: > Is "Mal" short for anything, or just Mal? > What would you prefer to be addressed as on the forums, Budwiser, Cole, Mal? > How far do you plan to go? Is transgender surgery something you have or are considering? > > Good luck! Keep us updated! Mallory. The moment I heard that name I fell in love with it. Bud or Mal is fine; I still prefer Bud Light. ;D Yes, GRS/SRS is the end goal in the next 2-3 years. Maybe winter of 2017? We'll see. My insurance covers it in the US, but I've yet to find a surgeon who does not do penile inversion (non-penile techniques offer less scarring, are more aesthetically appealing, and there's no need for hair removal pre-op) so I'll need to save approximately $20,000 to fly to Thailand. @'Agoraphobic': > Congratulations, I wish only happiness for you. ^_^ Thanks, Agora. :) @'PeRV': > It may sound weird, but even though these sorts of issues are controversial and the "whatever makes you happy" trope always seems tired, doing what actually makes you happy (even if it goes against a lot of the river's current) is solving a very important and complex problem within you. What's most awesome is that you found your thing. A lot of people never do. A lot of people are always too nervous to step into an uncomfortable zone as you were able to. Even though it took time, at least you had the treasure in the back of your mind and didn't let go after all these years. > > 'Now look at where you are! *Cheers* Thanks, Perv. It was definitely a struggle when I was teenager, and the feelings have always intermittent returned every 2-3 years since then, and fairly strongly. I've stayed depressed for a very long time and never could figure out exactly what was wrong with me because I kept dismissing everything and pushed it under a rug. What my family thinks means a great deal to me, especially the patriarchs, and my impression of how they would react wasn't a very good one. But it's all good now; they're all dead… which is incredibly sad (my grandfather use to joke about my long hair, even saw me wear eye liner once, had a nickname: Colette), but good for me since I don't feel entitled to keep up such a crushing front that's eating my life away. @'Genusis': > Well glad that you are feeling better about yourself and I hope everything will get even better for you from here on out. Thanks, Gen. @'Gwen': > Best of luck in your transition. > > How do you think your kids are going to take it? Thanks, Gwen. I'm not entirely sure, but I'll never stop loving them or being their father. They came from me, just as surely as they came from their mother. I'll still take them fishing, riding, hiking, and all of the other things daddies do with their babies; who I am has not changed and will not change one bit. One thing is for sure, though; I can't stop because of someone else, no matter who they are. I've never done much for myself, but this is one of those things I'm bound and determined to see through to the end.
