Cabbage guy.

It's been a good while since Legend of the Galactic Heroes and Banner of the Stars that I've got to see such exciting dogfighting, especially in a more Americanized animation style and the Star Wars context. This thing blows! I had a nerdgasm when all the mechanical sci-fi details started rolling in.

"of that Nelson guy" sheesh, are you buddies? Do you go out for a coffee often with him?

I miss Ballmer. I wish he was the guy doing all Xbox stuff instead of that Nelson guy.

Don't follow the fourth. Don't trust your heart, trust your head on this life-long choice.

Google Docs, and Libre Office are inferior in many ways compared to Microsoft Office. Honestly, you would think that they would have caught up by now, but they simply can't when it comes to business. If Microsoft did something right then it was Office, and also selling it.

Now, as to actually pay for Office? Not really, my uni gave it to me for free, and I also have an older version of office that was given to me from a job in the past.

Edit: The biggest deal-breaker for me is the feature to allow me to create scripts. I had to work with scripts to make some projects on Excel faster and less of an issue. Google Docs only recently added support for that, and script support on Libre Office on Linux is a hit or miss.

Not all reports go to PMs, specific ones go to all admins. (Mainly for Cheat and LC)

So that's how the report system works... <_<

It's a double-edged sword. I don't think it's the best way to approach things, but it works out OK for me. I think perfection can be achieved, but it's really, really, really, really^100000000000 hard to achieve. Its like winning the lottery's top number and become a millionaire overnight.

I see, so you're more overcritical on what someone else might hence you push yourself to find ways to always improve it. Maybe that's what I missed with my nameplate. I mean I would want everyone to like the nameplate but if it's something that's going to suck in someone's eyes, I get what you mean. You can't stop thinking about it and you want to fix it.

The way I see it no matter how much you improve something, there will always be flaws, nothing is perfect, even we humans aren't perfect. We have many flaws. The thing with many artists and programmers is that we notice our own flaws more that someone else necessarily wouldn't, because we could see the small bugs that we left out since we worked on it.

So yeah, I understand where you're coming from, and I'm sure there are many things that you see wrong with Sep7agon's design that we just don't really noticed or don't get bothered by.

Recreating Bungie.old's feeling when it comes to layout is challenging when you want to use newer trends and design elements introduced with the years. However, I think the harshest part is to start, maintain and develop a community that is similarly strong, creative and dedicated. Without the community the design is useless.

I mean, to be honest, I wish I could do all this, but I'm incapable of recreating Bungie.old or making a similar layout to Bungie.old from scratch, and that's the truth. Maybe that's why I appreciate the design more because I myself cannot do it.

I would say that I am the strictest critic. I have expectations, and if I don't meet them then there's nothing for me; I would be worthless and purposeless. If I am seeking to improve into something, and do something then I should do it the best I can. If I fail to deliver that then it means I failed, maybe a little or completely screwed up, but it still means that I have failed.

Maybe I am not happy with it, but people are, and when you deal with websites, I do like to think them as the place you want to always hang out at. If the place doesn't welcome you, if that place isn't about you and your circles then it's not a place made for you; but instead it's a place made by someone else, trying to impose onto you what you like.

Many web designers fail to understand that, and I even did that a couple of times (I don't feel like pulling up some Skype logs and early concepts of Sep7agon's v2, but it's there) so it's quite a hard line between what is right, what is perceived right by the user and the designer and what is actually possible to make both sides happy.

I'll bring up Bungie.net because they are a good example; the reason we are here is that because they tried to impose what they believed it is right. No amount of knowledge, and experience will ever tell you what actually a community wants but to actually ask it, gets its feedback and work with that. Full transparency between the development and the end user is what helps to build something successful.

So, when I design, it's not just about me, it's about someone else, it's about making something out of nothing or some existing material into something fresh that will be loved by those who wanted it, but didn't know how it could get better over time, how things can move on while improving and not getting worse.

Well, everyone is their own worst critic at the end of the day.

Well, if it feels like that to you then fine. You wanted design critiques and you got them; cold, honest and realistic ones. What happened to me many times was just a silent shrug and being dismissed as a loser. When I am dealing with my work, I am haunted by the idea to do the best I can. (And if I don't, it haunts me) So, I expect the same out of other people.

Kinda like how I tried to bring the supporter nameplate to light only to just backfire entirely?

He is, but he is suffering of a terrible disease called bad colorization. It's deadly.

Spoiler

is he white?

MFW I join an ongoing hate

It's something addicting; lie.

I did for Assassin's Creed up to Revelations. I also bought Black Flag since I can't help myself but wish for a pirate game.

Or maybe it's just incompetence. Future generations will have this debate.

why we haven't gone completely Ham on ISIS yet is because they want the flytrap to be well and truly stuffed at the seams before they set it on fire <_<

It's not that I hate it, it's just badly designed. I think that you should avoid Play, and avoid using the heptagon icon. Work with something without those two things, and then follow Cheat's lead.

So if I went with Play, would have that looked better or would you still hate it?
