Re: More Wallpapery goodness
Come on AE, your profile says your age is 1997, aren't you a bit old for that stuff?

When some adults make hentai out of it? No. :drevil:

Re: More Wallpapery goodness
Whether a type of media is considered to be for the older or for the young is mostly cultural. I consider certain cartoons for all ages. I like watching Yugioh anime but I also like watching horror and sci-fi movies or certain R rated action movies. I even like watching X-Men cartoons online. Also, people who never watched certain cartoons and don't know the story shouldn't say it is for only young people. Something with a storyline is more interesting and grown up than something that has no story. Also, as long as you don't actually buy merchandise about certain things and you only go as far as watching certain things, I wouldn't think it is childish.

I could say The Simpsons is childish because of its so-called boring humor, no story really, poor character art style, and the fact that the characters never age, and that Family Guy is corny and childish and an immoral and sexually obsessive show with an equally crappy art style (my feelings) and that the main character (forgot that man's name) is the prime example of someone that has been extremely polluted by USA culture (the worst parts of it that seem more and more common these days) and therefore has grown obese, stupid, lazy, and has no discipline or good qualities, and is not polite or clean or moral in many ways. What would a spouse ever see in someone like that?

King of the Hill would be more grown up than that because of the art style and the fact that characters can die and age. Same with a lot of Marvel shows. They seem more grown up and have good stories. Anime also can be considered more grown up since characters die and age, the stories are usually great and detailed, and it deals with darkness and light and is usually more serious, especially if you watch the subbed Japanese versions, excluding childish Pokemon, of course. Also, anime has a very cute art style to boot and someone with a soft spot would think it is cute and that wallpaper is cute.

One foolish way of thinking is when people think it has to have detailed and gory violence or sex to be grown up. I hate that stereotype.

Re: More Wallpapery goodness
High Max, this is a thread about pictures, pretty background pictures to be precise. With that in mind, ponder this. Silently.




Now, this thread is not about discussing maturity. It's about pretty desktop pictures. Like this:

I came from chasing dreams to feel alone
There must be changes, miss to feel strong
I really need lifе to touch me

High Max, you are still using bmp's. Don't you know that a jpg would be at least 40 times smaller than a bmp? If you're worried about quality, at least you png which is 4-5 times smaller.

I will go back and paste them in MS Paint to recreate those 2 pics in png format instead of using MS Office Picture Manager. At least then, it will give me an option to save it as something besides a bmp.

While MS Office Picture Manager is indeed the worst image handling package ever created in the history of mankind, it can save images as PNGs and JPGs.

But it hides the option under "Export" rather than "Save As..."

I often wonder if people at Microsoft actually talk to each other, given the truly abysmal consistency of UI throughout their products.
(The Office 2007 Ribbon in Outlook is an even better example. That's truly schizophrenic.)

HighMax, I'd download IrfanView. It's free.
