GANONFROG'S PROFILE

I make pixels, write, art unimpressively, and make lists if things that I do in relation to game making websites.

I've gotten a couple of requests from people wanting to see my old Final Tear 3 review, so I reuploaded it here:

That is a sexy, sexy train. Ten train points to you, sir.

Is being an introvert a good or a bad thing?

I'm also really confused by the idea that introversion/extroversion could be good or bad at all. They're just things. Though I do wonder if you're misinterpreting the most extreme side of introversion as being the only side.

Really, all that defines an introvert/extrovert is how they instinctively react to being around people and being alone. An introvert is overstimulated in a crowd or tense social situation, making them uncomfortable, while an extrovert is under-stimulated while alone, making them restless and frustrated. I guess one could see that and say that a balance would be best, going by that alone, but even then there's the issue of such a balanced person having less of a tendency toward specialization in what they do. Since an introvert can spend time alone, just mulling over ideas and thoughts for hours without a problem, they have more potential to be talented artists, writers, scientists, etc. Extroverts, on the other hand, can work with people without easily getting burnt out, and thus make awesome CEOs, performers, negotiators, etc. So, short version, extroversion and introversion aren't good or bad. They're just things.

Now, yes, there are psychological disorders that play off of introversion and extroversion in ways that make it look like they're the problem, but usually it's more of an interaction leading to a bad result, rather than the more mundane, common piece of the puzzle (The intro/extro personality) being an issue. It's like people blaming violent video games as being the reason behind a kid's crazed killing spree, when really the kid's delusions and anger management issues are the reason why he took a look at that game and decided that, hey! This looks like a good idea to take into real life!

As an introvert with social anxiety disorder, I'm still easily able to tell the difference between what reactions to social situations are just my introversion, and which are due to my fight or flight instincts being a confused mess. Protip, not wanting to go to that guy's party out of mild discomfort about the idea of dealing with a bunch of people is my introversion. Wanting to run away from his karaoke machine as if it were a bear about to maul me is my anxiety disorder. (That, and the fact that no sane person would ever own a karaoke machine and I probably came to the only logical realization that he may actually be a bear wanting to maul me.) So yes, the two of them are similar, but they're not at all the same thing. That same sort of connection can be applied to pretty much any other personality disorder and how it makes people react around other people and/or suspicious karaoke machines.

Daily Drawing Challenge!

Well, this turned out exceedingly average:



Oh well. Practice is practice.

RMN Battledome! Round Two!

I hope it's not too late to join. I want in on this robot fighting action. Or something.

My options for chips may be limited, but that doesn't mean I'm stuck with the worst. I will gladly take Defendo, the chip imbued with the power of Canadian Mounties.

Reviewing RMN's Visual Novels

Just posting to say that this is still a thing that's happening. I've just been super busy this week, so I haven't had much of a chance to get work done on anything except, well, work. Here's to hoping I find the time this upcoming week.

Dragunbane - new dawn

Do you think this game is pretty enough? Geez.

Though, judging by the summary and the one screenshot with text, I do recommend that you seek out a proofreader. The grammar isn't glaringly bad or anything, but the flaws are a little noticeable.

Seriously though, this is unfairly pretty.

Take Down : Lambs of Destiny

I know this is stupid, but it's all I could think of when I saw the title: http://i39.tinypic.com/257lkb5.png

@Those who commented on the expressions: Yeah, I'm planning to make more that are more dramatic. These are just the faces meant for subtle changes in emotion. The more notable ones need to be sketched out first, since I would need to make big changes to body language as well. I just can't do that until I get my scanner back. XD Thank you though!

@Arandomgamemaker: I think it looks pretty good. My only complaint is that the flat piece of land to the right of the penis-like appendage phallic god damn it, why do I have the mentality of a 12 year oldI'mbetterthanthis

That bit of land looks unnatural.
