DQ1 Remake will take awhile longer, will release it as 2.20

-
Due to tons of scripting hassles that stymied me for the longest time, I had to chop out so many features I did not want to sacrifice for any reason, but that is now behind me and fixed.

However, even though it's been a very long time since I release DQ1 Remake 2.00, I will be taking even longer to polish up 2.20 for release, skipping 2.10 entirely, for the following reasons:

* I plan to move all builds of the game thus far to a MEGA account for easier downloading. All future builds will be added to it as well.

* I plan to make better use of a lot of features I added by haven't utilized too much of yet, like hi-res icons for weapons, armor, and items. For this purpose, I have had to import a lot of new art, fortunately most was upscaled resources already on hand and public domain materials repurposed for RPG Maker use.

* Enemy HP bars have been added and confirmed stable. I wanted this feature in earlier builds, removed it for various reasons, but now I'm confident they work fine.

* Noticed all sorts of various art glitches that required fixes.

* I have gotten a lot better at my use of events, plan to redo some of the older, clunkier events from my young and stupid days.

* Since I intend on making a sequel, the graphics are getting overhauled and streamlined for that purpose.

* The Achievements feature has been removed since I never got a lot of mileage out of it. It will be restored in a later build, but I have no use for it at present since some of it's functions do not work well with all the fixes I had to do to fix the other scripting and modifying it would take even longer than it already has, and I'm frankly DONE with scripting crap, I want to move onto other things.

    Hi Geth, it's me, QuestionableSanity. I'm posting in your blog because I'm IP blocked on ATT, and I needed to get in touch with you somehow. (I've posted on this blog under this name before, though I don't think I ever mentioned that we are one and the same...)

    I know it's been a long time since I've actually properly logged in, and I'm sorry that I just kind of disappeared without a word. Unfortunately, I forgot my password, and I wasn't really planning to do much (okay, any) administrating in the foreseeable future. So I figured I would just edit anonymously, since I didn't want to do much beyond that.

    But it looks like I've been IP blocked, because you didn't know it was me. As I'm typing this, it just occurred to me that my house recently had their router replaced, which I think would change my IP.

    And the other problem is, I'm not sure you actually remember enough about me, so would you be able to ask me a question that only I would know the answer to? Is there even any other reliable way to prove my identity?

    I guess if all else fails, you could just downgrade my account to a regular editor, and I can just earn it back eventually. I do remember that you gave me the promotion relatively quickly after I first joined, so it shouldn't be too hard.

    Anyway, let me know when you can figure something out. Thanks.

    Sorry to hear about that QS, I know we didn't do that, might be a Miraheze specific issue with an IP they blocked globally and you got tagged by mistake.

    Go here and contact staff at the contact links to resolve things:

    Thanks. And I just remembered my password, but it doesn't let me log in with it. If I include my password, I'm sure they'll know it's me.

Top five dumbest people in the Bible

-
A friend of mine who read my previous post about Bible humor pointed out that the Bible was amazingly honest about a lot of stupid people in the Bible, and even though the Bible is a mostly human document with some quotes from God, it's still quite impressive for the level of unvarnished human stupidity it covers without trying to whitewash it. And since some of the mind boggling idiocy is funny in hindsight, I'd like to to cover the top five dumbest people in the Bible. 5. Nabal, the guy who decided to piss off David for no good reason. This guy seemed rather appropriate to start off with, because his very name means someone who is a fool, and while his stupidity is rather brief, it's still astoundingly dumb. During David's days wandering around as a mercenary and blade for hire, he found some really rich dude named Nabal with a ton of livestock who was currently doing a lot of harvest work, and David generously offered to provide security for his farm animals...

It seems Brianna Wu is desperate to censor any mention of their former identity off the Internet

-
Brianna Wu is now on a rabid quest to censor all information about being born John Walker Flynt off the internet, as documented here: http://www.breitbart.com/london/2015/02/13/the-wacky-world-of-wu-the-tortured-history-of-gamergates-self-styled-feminist-martyr/ In this article, Wu's past is revealed for what it really is, including the fact Wu was born John Walker Flynt. Wu is now desperately trying to remove this information from the internet, apparently unaware of a little thing called the Streisand Effect, which means the more you try to censor, the more people will spread it. You can see Wu's terror of this information getting out here: https://twitter.com/Spacekatgal/status/688139264907849730 https://twitter.com/Spacekatgal/status/687845245481009152 Wu is trying to go to the top of places like Twitter, Facebook, Medium, Youtube, and even here to silence this information, even though the only thing Wu really wants to censor is already public information. I...

Wikipedia and Rational Wiki's non outing policy on Brianna Wu (aka John Walker Flynt), and why it's stupid

-
First off, there is a reason this blog post is titled this way: I want to add another Google result for the truth a certain middling male to female transsexual indie game dev with a big mouth and mile long list of lies and bullshit stories is trying to suppress. My admission of blatant trolling out of the way, now onto the actual subject. Both Wikipedia and Rational Wiki have entire teams of people suppressing any hint of information about Brianna Wu being born John Walker Flynt, Wikipedia because of their terror of being sued/Biographies of Living Persons policy, and Rational Wiki for similar reasons, not to mention they've taken such a blatant anti-GG stance they don't care to pretend they are neutral, which means this information cannot exist in any form there. Let me tear apart the reasons they say we should not mention Brianna Wu was born John Walker Flynt. Note: I'm primarily addressing the parties who disagree with my feelings here. 1. What a person does no...
