New page

This is an older talk page setup I had that seems overcomplicated and annoying in hindsight.

== To talk to me ==
<u>I will make my comments only in this section, and underlined, so we can all tell who's who faster. Be advised that although I may keep up-to-date, I might be shying away, screening my calls, so I could but won't answer everything.

Yay! Glad to see another happy user of the group! (And another coder!) :D I didn't know anyone else on this site played Minecraft... --[[User:JayRulesXKCD|JayRulesXKCD]] ([[User talk:JayRulesXKCD|talk]]) 12:08, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

<u>Same to you! [[User:Jacky720|Jacky720]] ([[User talk:Jacky720|talk]]) 15:52, 10 November 2016 (UTC)</u>

<u>(That's right, go HTML!)</u>

:What kind of stuff do you like to program? Are you a game designer? Or a web coder kind of person? --[[User:JayRulesXKCD|JayRulesXKCD]] ([[User talk:JayRulesXKCD|talk]]) 17:12, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

::<u>It isn't a job or anything, just a hobby of messing with webpages. Also, if you don't own a domain, and you tell everyone, you can operate a totally '''free''' subdomain through [http://www.000webhost.com $0.00 webhost.] Although you might want to backup your site. If you don't visit it enough, it shuts down and you need to re-register. Just some tips. (P.S. My web portal has seen better days. (P.P.S.

::<u>Wait, I just looked at your page and you '''publish games?''' Like I said above... But nice. I don't do that kind of thing, but I have made a couple of 9001% informal games, like on [https://scratch.mit.edu/users/Jacky720/ Scratch] and stuff.</u>

:::What a coincidence! I use Scratch too! However, I haven't really used it in a while, as I'm sticking to normal game development, but I do still go on there from time to time to see the crazy stuff that people come up with. I was going to make a game on there called '''"Darkness"''', but development proved to be too difficult and I was only able to finish the first level and a teaser for the game. I did eventually re-vitalize the game, but with a new name and new story, and it eventually became ''' 'This Isn't Home' ''', and then I ran into problems with the development with that, and I had to take it down from GameJolt yesterday. Life of a game designer... your work is never finished. I'm going to have to fix that one now. :P --[[User:JayRulesXKCD|JayRulesXKCD]] ([[User talk:JayRulesXKCD|talk]]) 12:27, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

::::<u>Nice, but I couldn't find your account or the game. Links? [[User:Jacky720|Jacky720]] ([[User talk:Jacky720|talk]]) 19:34, 12 November 2016 (UTC)</u>

:::::I never uploaded 'Darkness', but I did upload a 'teaser' for it and my account is : https://scratch.mit.edu/users/JayRulesScratch/ --[[User:JayRulesXKCD|JayRulesXKCD]] ([[User talk:JayRulesXKCD|talk]]) 12:17, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

:Hey, I play Minecraft too! In fact, I've been shying away from explainxkcd because I've been playing it so much... [[User:GizmoDude|GizmoDude]] ([[User talk:GizmoDude|talk]]) 21:20, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
:P.S. I do Scratch as well! Well, not currently, but I posted about 20 projects on my old account 2 or 3 years ago...
::That's kind of the same reason why I "left" for a short period of time. Minecraft and Game design have been taking up a good chunk of my life. Life of a gamer/game designer. :) --[[User:JayRulesXKCD|JayRulesXKCD]] ([[User talk:JayRulesXKCD|talk]]) 12:07, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
:::I've also steadily become more encumbered by schoolwork. I've still been reading xkcd, but not so much editing. I've gotten back into Minecraft, especially since I started my YouTube channel. [[User:GizmoDude|GizmoDude]] ([[User talk:GizmoDude|talk]]) 12:40, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

:::::Schoolwork is frustrating. I'm not even in college yet... I'm a sophmore in high school. Game design, school, and still have time to actually have fun and play games.. yikes. --[[User:JayRulesXKCD|JayRulesXKCD]] ([[User talk:JayRulesXKCD|talk]]) 12:38, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
::::::I also spend a lot of time on Minecraft (mostly messing with redstone), and I used to have a scratch account too (made a few games, but then stopped a few years ago). And it's nice to know I'm not the only editor with a bunch of schoolwork to deal with. [[User:Herobrine|Herobrine]] ([[User talk:Herobrine|talk]]) 10:41, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

You seem pretty cool! I also code, and with the same languages, and play MC!
