RPG Maker loves you regardless of your gander

Rpgmaker is gay ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Yea, the joke only works if you think "gay" is an insult

Like, I was 12 once, I remember using gay as an insult, because I didn't know jack from shit at the time. Eventually you learn that you're being dumb and you move on. Plus, there's way more intelligent or creative ways to insult people that don't involve sinking to the lowest common denominator.

What are you thinking about right now?

banana cat is adorable :D

What are you thinking about right now?

Yea, I suppose if you only watch the most cliché and commercial anime and played nothing but the most banal and uninspired RPGs, you could be fooled into believing that there's nothing there that can rival the "higher" arts. A lot of anime out there is garbage made to sell to teens, sure.

AND It's incredibly good for us to widen our views and experience new things, mediums, genres outside of our usual fallbacks! But pretending that one precludes the other - or that entire genres or styles are by their very nature "immature" - is a super simplistic view.

People have been saying the same thing about comics for years, based on vague generalizations about the medium's obvious forerunners like Superman or Spider-Man. It's difficult to imagine comics being delegated to the "immature" after reading Maus or Ayako or Persepolis, and yet a lot of artists have been forced to drop the label "comics" in favor of "graphic novels" so that they can sell to people steeped in assumptions. It's a cop-out to write off an entire style or genre because of hyper-commercialization: people do that with rock and rap, with action movies, with fantasy novels - and it's their loss.

Also, the idea that there are "higher" arts is pretentious as heck.

looking to team with someone

My gosh, this plan's just vague enough to work!


I'm teasing, but you really should put some details in here to entice people to work with you.

Happy Birthday Kentona!

You guys seem to be doing great!

HI TAU! How's things?

Yea things are pretty alright! :D

Your favorite cellphone games

Downwell & Super Hexagon are two amazing action games for the phone that work really well with the touch controls. I've spent a lot of time on these two :P

[POLL] Would you be interested in a RMN meet?

author=SnowOwl
I always imagine the average RMNer as a very awkward, depressed, pansexual, animal-loving anime-nerd that only rarely, if ever, make a game. I'm not sure if meeting anyone from here would make my image of the average RMNer worse or better.

I can't tell how much of this is projecting, lol. Like NS said, RMN has a pretty decent mix of people who are mostly linked by being nerdy for RPGs!

A meetup would be fun, like getting together at a bar or at go-karts or bowling or something chill. I'm outta vacation days this year, so, no London for me :P Let me know if you're ever in the Midwest!

What's your catchphrase?

"chu chu chu..."


I caught me humming this to myself a few years ago and I realized I do it all the time when I'm like, waiting for something or walking by myself or whatever. It's just a soft little "chu chu chu...", almost like a drum beat. I think I must have been doing it for decades and I have no idea where it came from.
