Hey all, long time no see. I mainly just stuck my head in here to dump the design document I wrote for a prequel campaign to Machina Terra (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=78588.0) that I never actually got to create. But I thought I might as well come on over to Gen Disc and say hi as well. :D
Here's how the family's looking right now:

Actually, that picture is a little old, the kids are a bit older now...

Emily's three, and Nathan turns one in December.
So, what's been happening? :)
-
oh, hey wazup man! I was actually just thinking about you the other day, good to see you've been doing well and have apparently been keeping yourself busy.
kids are adorable BTW.
-
Hee, I love Nathan's crazy hair. :D
Glad to hear things are going well for you. :) It's pretty much business as usual here: lots of talented people making stuff, and some new-ish coders adding some awesome features (shadows!) into the engine.

Based on these photos alone... are your family from the 1970s by any chance? :p
Basically look at any thread created by Valathil to see awesomeness - In-Game generated select animations, cloaking, shadows, distortion shockwaves/thrusters, fixed transparency rendering etc. etc.
There's also been the usual slow trickle of campaign and mod releases - not sure how long you've been gone to know how far back to go with that. General HLP awesomness, basically.

Hey Setekh! :)
-
Holy ****nuggets that's cute! D'aawww.
-
/me bows
Welcome back oh mighty founder.
-
(Very) long time no see! Hooray for cute kids!
-
Well I don't think I can say "long time no see", but I sure hope I can say "hi".

If he doesn't own it, I have no problem sticking the server on offline mode for a bit so he can connect and have a look.
-
Wow, just awesome. Family is indeed great, have one of my own. :D Love those pic's.
So, you just dropping by for a few random lines, or do you feel you can stick around a little? Either case, it's awesome to hear from you.

unless you use something like AuthMe/Rakamak/whatever DO NOT PUT YOUR SERVER IN OFFLINE MODE.
this has been a friendly minecraft admin service response.

Thanks Bob, it's a nice buzz to have a real oldie be the first to reply. :D

Man, you have no idea. I think I'm going to cut it soon... as it grew longer I was expecting gravity to take over eventually and tame it, but it's showed no signs of slowing down and he looks to be sporting the fork-in-a-powerpoint look permanently. I had to comb his hair for about ten minutes to get it into the state you see it in for that second picture. ;)

Hey brother, how's your family doing too? Sadly, no Minecraft... is there some other way I can see what you've got in mind? :)

Sadly, it's probably going to be the former. High school teaching's keeping me pretty busy, though it does have its lighter moments... here's one of them (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkvHXzy2BQM), made by the school prefects recently. I come in around 1:35 or so. :cool:

Posting in a Steak thread. Nice to see we are not forgotten. :D

Hey brother, how's your family doing too?
My family's expanding any day now - girl #3 is expected to arrive sometime around the 22nd of this month. ;)

I guess there's the thread about it, although you don't get any sense of scale that way... screenies of the current incarnation start here (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=76953.msg1551937#msg1551937). :D

Woo! Steak! Great to see you again. :) When are you going to upload your missing Array pictures? :nervous:
Also, it looks weird not to see you blowing everyone else out of the water with your ridiculous post count. So I've taken the liberty of adding 40k posts for you. :p

:wtf:

I think that reference is before my time, at least. :p

Steak was famous for having an absurdly high post count at one time. for a while it was higher than the next two or three people combined.
-
Oh, this I know... I was just surprised that Goob bothered. :p
-
It was easily done. And it can be easily undone too, or we can just wait until the next time posts are recalculated.

Hey Goob. :D And about my post count... umm... thanks, I guess? :nervous:
Hmmm, missing pictures... I was under the impression that they were all available in my staff folder (http://staff.hard-light.net/setekh/). The text I attached to each one is another question... shame that's all probably gone up in smoke since. Not that anyone's missing it. (I have some backups, but only of the oldest ones.)

You're not really missing out, Mongoose... in my heyday, after I had finished with the forums, my name used to be shown as the latest reply on every thread in general discussion (and then some). I think they used to call it a 'steak storm' or something...

In reality (counting GenDisc), Steaky has 18,281 posts. :p Goob, you have 19,313, and I have 15,313. :D

I think the ships in the first image are either Venom's or Aldo's...

... while the GTD Dictator would become more famous under the name GTD Icelus (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/GTD_Icelus).

Thanks for that, its obvious especially when you look at the pic of the HTL version now that you mention it.

Holy cow. The thought crossed my mind, "a worthy successor at last!", but then I realised you are doing this on a totally different scale to anything I ever did. And knowing you kara, it's not much of a stretch to say that 1 of your posts is probably worth about 10 of mine (particularly in the early days). :p
OMG Steak!!!!
Yeah, hey bro. Good to see you're still sporting the title that I gave you way back in the day (though I mean, how could anyone really improve on "Crazy Render Rabbit"?)

Thanks Gortef, I feel that way too a lot of the time. But part of it is that the kids are at such a young and needy age. Being available to them takes up most of my disposable time. So we'll see what the future holds. :)

Hey Setekh! Good to see life is treating you well. Love the kids, though it's hard to believe that it's been that long since they were born :p

True that, better to be with them now than regret about not done that later.
