POOPSOCK'S PROFILE

author=TheRealQHeretic
Anyway, Wishmoo died a few years ago. I don't even remember of what, probably heart disease, or lung cancer (she went back to being a smoker when I left). She had numerous health issues and was just miserable 99% of her waking life. The worst part is, my first thought was "good riddance". She was abusive, narcissistic, and a cancer in this world, and a horrible person. All the "friends" she made in the community, the very few - she put on a nice face to them but was always suspicious of them behind their backs and couldn't just trust anyone. Probably kind of awful for me to speak about her in this way, but that's the whole story of me and GGZ.

I'm sorry you went through all of that. I ended up moving out around the age of 18. At the time, my mom was abusing opioids and never medicated her bipolar disorder.

I've been a lurker in the community since the start. I've played all of your RM2K demos and have been yelled at by Wishmoo over the phone. :D Another friend of mine received a threatening email about legal action over something or another. I remember him calling me and laughing about it. He loved trolling her.

You always impressed me with your tricks to make RM2K do things you wanted. Like when you altered battle animations to make it look like characters were walking up to attack monsters in Exile. Or when you used a hex editor to swap out the icon palette with way better glyphs.

When you released the demo for your side view battle code with Kindred Saga, my mind was blown. I spent so much time digging through all of the events just to better understand how it all worked and was honestly amazed with how well it ran despite all of the limitations in RM2K.
