RE: Geany HPL2 Support Pack, Release 1

in my opinion, you come to a developers forum to develop and work. You should never lose sight of that, because if you lose sight of that, you will end up spending your time involved in forum user social drama instead of developing your custom story. Usually hours and days will fly by while you're scouring your "personal hangout" for social interaction. In the end you might even get banned for picking a passionate fight with someone popular, because they liked the wrong movie, and lose out on future development help because of it. That's understandable on social sites, because social sites are meant to be nuts that way, but at development sites, there's always going to be my mental image of an intended player of my story, who is not actually playing my story, crickets chirping in the background, as he wonders what's keeping the story.
I miss you guys, but is that really a positive thing? I also miss trying to create stories, but there's also all this other stuff in my life that has to come first.
Take care. No problemo. I'm still treading the Game development waters. After our team project release, I'll be giving engines such as Unreal3 and maybe Unity a shot. I'll still be on the forums of course, but I plan to expand my knowledge.
