Haha, yea, I think I can safely give up on trying to learn how to draw. Not a chance I can find 10,000 hours to get good at it, so I'll stick to coding and paying artists and musicians. So far I had great luck with them. The game I recently released is pretty mediocre at best (shitty really) but everyone commented on how awesome the music was and the art very much holds its own as well.

You might like a system i came up with for my OS Kernel and also SDL2. Here's the original (from my kernel). You can also see my awesome "magnifying effect" skills i pulled off in gimp.

Your chat is private; is that intentional?

Sometimes, it's necessary to report a post that violates the forum rules, and in most cases, posting it publicly is not a good solution. Could you please open your chat so that can be done?

(Also, long term there should be a dedicated system for reporting violations. The "report as spam" feature is not suitable for this purpose, and it might actually do more harm than good in its current form.)

Nope, never been there. =)

Oh man, you are the Horde? How disappointing! Oh well. The Alliance has the best zone ever this expansion, you'll love it when you see it. And I gotta say Diablo II is one of my least favorite Blizzard games. I remember being so disappointed.

Did you hear the rumors about a new Diablo game, though? Would be nice if they took some pointers from Path of Exile and Grim Dawn, but I'm curious either way.

Diablo 3 was pretty bland, except for the cinematics, which were outright orgasmic. I bet Blizzard learned a lot from that and Diablo 4 will be done differently, though. Well, at least I hope that's how it'll play out. We shall see.

What about HotS? You play that? I switched to it some years ago even though I worked on (though, not in programming capacity) and played Dota 2 for 4 years. To me HotS is a better game, though I play very much on and off. Same as WoW really.

What we REALLY need, though, are fully remastered Warcraft 1 and 2. Especially 2.

I think we're more concerned about it being the other way around, friend.

Good luck, amigo, and may you not flee in terror or perish in agony like those before you.

Welcome to the GOG community.

In general we are nice people here (I still think this community is one of the best) but be prepared that it also won't always be easy since several people are disappointed in GOG for several reasons - some unfortunately even have already left GOG. I still think GOG is great but I am also well aware that several things would need finxing or improving.

You asked about the forum so simple feedback:
Hyperlinks are still (since several months) often completely broken. It's also impossible to use special characters like ä,ö,ü - which are quite common in German - inside hyperlinks. So my first wish would be that GOG would fix these finally.

Another issue here in the GOG foum sometimes is the use of extremely bad language (I am talking about racist insults and such) which sometimes do go unpunished. I am not talking about calling someone "idiot" but sometimnes discussions can get to extremes including language. I know that GOGs policy in general is free speech and I appreciate this very much. However imo there should be boundaries and people who cross those should be punished to keep this an enjoyable forum.

That#s all that is on my mind for now. Again, welcome and enjoy :)

I got a treat for you! Check out this wallpaper that I made:

Pretty sure he just keopt it to default settings for now and we all know that default setting is "friends only".

I actually created a special page on my website in PHP to redirect, since gog doesn't like ~ in URLs, either. GOG just doesn't like alot in the URLs. If you have a website that allows PHP code, i could probably write up something quick similar to my page that allows the redirects and would allow you to "encode the url" to something that gog actually likes.
