3:39 AM
@Ryan Awesome start! Thanks a lot ;)
@Ryan I'll go read the "rules" again. I like that noise effect you did
 
 
5 hours later…
8:12 AM
@ryan wants to click but... someone behind me. :)
 
 
6 hours later…
1:57 PM
@go-me That pictogram with the eye is sweet.
 
2:30 PM
@marcusdoesstuff Thanks, but I didn't draw it :/ I'm not super good at icons and picto to be honest!
@Ryan Here's my pile of layers! I didn't flatten them in case you want to see my mess, but next time I can. dropbox.com/s/n66wcdp8jzjk6cp/go-me-vs-ryan-2.psd?dl=0
 
@go-me nice
 
@Ryan thanks! You didn't make it easy with your pics and the text, and I wanted a to find a concept to follow yours... without Mr T or Chris Hansen.
 
:\ why wasn't it easy?
 
@Ryan Don't worry, it wasn't easy because I really didn't know what to do with the box and metal structure... I had to think about it. And the woman is gone. It was fun though!
@Ryan I had to stick some hairs too lol Pict was very dark!
@Ryan Did I changed too much stuff? I re-used all I could but wasn't sure if I had to only add a few elements and keep the same base OR re-do something with what you gave me.
@Ryan Just tell me for next time.
 
2:48 PM
nah you can change it far more drastically than you did
 
@Ryan Ok, but I like keeping the main idea and focus, it's challenging!
 
Ill be changing it
 
@Ryan It's fine, it's yours now
 
@go-me where are you from? Pangaea doesn't help much :P
 
@Ryan Canada
 
2:59 PM
Alright guessing Quebec. So guessing Montreal
 
@Ryan How can you say it's quebec? :P Is my english that bad? haha
 
No but you've said English isn't your first language. I mean I guess you could be a Japanese immigrant living in Vancouver... but French Canadian seems more likely.
 
@Ryan Yes, it's true, I'm not asian, I'm a frenchie.
@Ryan Well, you're good.
 
 
1 hour later…
4:15 PM
I feel like badges are a slightly better indication of how useful people's posts are than rep. What about you guys?
 
The more you have badges and rep, the less you have clients or actually design. That's what I think :)
 
4:34 PM
.. or the more experience and knowledge you actually have.
Badges are a direct reflection of rep in most cases. They go hand in hand. You can't gain badges without gaining rep in most cases. The non-rep badges are either the first few you get or the last few you get.
 
hey @Scott how you been?
 
Annoyed.
 
:\ you can blame me, everyone else does
 
nah... :)
 
@go-me You must not have had many clients or actual design recently then ;)
@Scott Sure, but it takes a good post to get the badges. So the number of badges represents the number of good posts as opposed to just the number of posts, the majority without many votes
 
4:41 PM
@ZachSaucier you'll tell me this when it will be 2-4 years like this :) Rendering is quite boring yes.
 
True. But you get rep in order to get the badge. So it's difficult to state that badges are a better indicator. The only direct indicators are the "answer" badges.
 
@go-me I suppose I should be telling @Scott Then, eh? ;)
 
no go-me thinks I'm pretty worthless
 
@ZachSaucier Why?
 
4:43 PM
see
 
u mad?
 
@go-me because he's been around for a while, posting often
Huh, I expected him to be above that
 
@ZachSaucier that's his business, he could be playing WoW too or Candy Crush
 
@go-me lol the file I sent you started at 160mb so I scaled the resolution down. Your file was 60mb. Mine is back up over 100mb again :\ see if I can optimize it a little to make it lighter
 
Then again with a name like go-me...
 
4:45 PM
I'm annoyed go-me. I'm not an ego maniac and I'm not insulting. I don't know what I've done to warrant how you refer to me. I don't even respond to your answers, I'm around becuase I'm freelancing and checking the site while I work.
 
@Ryan yes, mine was full of layers that I usually merge, you did well!
Why do you feel it was directed at you? You were not even there when I said it. I still think this you being here or not.
 
I don't understand what you're trying to say with that last sentence
 
...Is there a Question I should be looking at to understand where this hostility is coming from at the moment?
 
It doesn't matter
 
Sure it does, you're part of the community
 
4:47 PM
Nah.. jsut a references that rep and badges mean you don't actually design or work couldn't possibly refer to the person with the most rep and badges.. yeah.. your'e right.. you're the innocent one.
 
if you scroll up you'll see the horrible thing I said to answer Zach's question.
 
I feel like there's prior interaction we're missing
 
There may be @ZachSaucier
 
Look Scott. You know stack exchange has a lot of stacks right? There's people with more rep than you in a lot of them. Get that? That's an investment of their time.
 
ahh.. condescension.. yeah I'm an idiot. Thanks for letting me know.
 
4:49 PM
So if you feel it's about you, because you are the top in one GD, what can I say. There's worse than you then :)
you're not an idiot but maybe a bit paranoid
 
Or a realist. You can play it off all you want. But I've read the comments on my answers. I can't overcome the chip on your shoulder.
 
As I already told you, you could even stop posting and your rep would still go up. So frankly rep doesn't mean much after a few years for people who've been active. That's not an insult.
here we go again...
 
No it's not. And I've always stated that rep only means youv'e posted a lot of answers.
Look, I'm not crazy here. You can play it off all you want. But I've read what you've posted and what has since been deleted.
 
I don't care anyway, I don't even understand why you'd get insulted, especially if you have no reasons to.
 
probably because you're offensive
 
4:53 PM
@ZachSaucier you want some popcorn? I've got some popcorn.
 
you know full well what you've posted.
 
? You mean the comments mod deleted after I complained?
 
@Ryan I regret posting my comment
 
Yes that's possible. I complained.
 
though it's telling
 
4:54 PM
@ZachSaucier what comment? The thing about the rep?
 
Yeah get some popcorns you 2, really!
 
Nah these two need to sort it out, maybe they can work out their differences so we can all get along. There certainly wasn't anything wrong with what you said @ZachSaucier
 
It's ok, in another parallel universe, Scott and I are probably big lovers
 
that's illogical
 
4:56 PM
prove it
:)
 
how can what happens in a different universe make something happening here okay?
 
Look I don't know why you think your'e "better" than me while continually discussing how "some people" do things out of ego. I've never disrespected you. I realize you have a lot of experience and I give you credit for that. Perhaps you fail to realize that I'm no "spring chicken" either.
 
It's the opposite of today, somewhere.
 
Even assuming there were some (which we have no proof of), that has no affect on ours
 
this is getting deep now
 
4:58 PM
you're a spring chicken in a parallel universe...maybe! (Don't get mad, I don't even know what it means)
 
spring chicken = young and inexperienced
 
well thanks for telling me. I would be stupid to think that Scott, you obviously know what you're doing. I won't lie, I've learn a few tricks from you in Illustrator.
 
The arguments you've posted on my answers have all pretty much been personal opinion arguments and pointed at insulting me. THAT is what I take issue with. Your'e free to disagree with me, but when you imply that I'm of a "war mentality" or I'm a "misogynist" you are stepping over the line,
I didn't even know you were female until earlier this week. I don't pay attention to you... I don't really read what you post anywhere unless it's a comment on one of my answers. So..... If you've annoyed me it certainly can't be for any reason other than how you've responded to me.
My theory... everything went south when I used the phrase "allow anyone to monkey around with your files" when posting to another user.
 
I'll still think it if you compare women to pets in 2 comments and by your choice of words. You are free to do this, I'm also free to find this not very delicate. And frankly, it's not like I'm the big feminist on your back, I mentioned this once to you! You're really taking notes eh.
 
I never called you a "monkey" or had any intention of that being inferred. The phrasing I used referred to clients and had nothing to do with any individual. However, since that time, you've made it a point to infer I'm some sort of problem by responding via comments on my answers. As well as the down votes (which I don't care about).
 
5:04 PM
What's going on. This is weird.
Why do you care?
 
@go-me hmm? what do you mean?
 
I changed that answer at freelance because you found it offensive. It was HUMOR THOUGH. You really shoudl lighten up.
I care beause you post comments implying I'm a misogynist and of a "war mentality"
YOU infer things about MY personality which are NOT true.
Clearly there's a chip on your shoulder. You've clearly determined that I'm an issue. So you passive-aggressively pursue that and then play it off when called out on it.
 
@Scott I remember reading this comment about monkeys and honestly go-me I didn't think it was directed at you. It was more, "you don't want inexperienced people to be messing up your files"
 
Simply put.... I've only ever commented on ONE of your answers. And that was to support you. So.. all of this is a direct reaction to YOUR comments go-me
 
@Ryan he's talking about one time..a question about a guy coder and his GF always bothering him. And Scott made a comment SHOOTing water at her" like one would do to a cat... and then later in his answer he said "he needs to train his GF". I found that quite dumb actually. Could be language barrier but still. That's when I think he started his "you're jealous of me" in his comments. I forgot about it, now he's bringing it back.
 
5:07 PM
Where was this? On GD.SE? On Freelancing?
 
Freelancing
And it was A JOKE!!!!!!
 
why do you panic now then? Get over it.
 
And as we've said, flag it and then move on - that goes for both of you. If the moderators of that SE see how it could be offensive they'll take care of it
 
You're the one bringing it back.
 
I was asked.
And you are still posting passive-aggressive insults. And I still get down voted on perfectly valid, technical answers. So .. is it over?
 
5:09 PM
I flagged you xD After you started your "you're jealous" and calling me a prepress moneky. But maybe it was in another question (haha)
I get downvote too, I'm even in the top 25 downvoted <3 BRB I need to go cry
ok I'm back. I was just a little sad
;)
 
he didnt call you a prepress monkey @go-me - he said you want to be careful because many people are so giving them a file that isn't ready could be trouble
so if thats what's started this it was a miscommunication
 
no he called me prepress monkey on freelancing, that's why it was not really the place for this. What you're refering to is the "monkeying"
He loves animals, me think
 
Given we're all animals, I do too
 
Point is... you are NOT some innocent little dove go-me. Pretending you are one isn't' working on me. YOU'VE got the ego here and you're doing an awful lot of projecting. Leave my posts alone as I leave yours alone and we'll have no issue.
 
5:13 PM
Frankly, if you got downvoted lately it wasn't me. If you noticed I don't comment on your posts because you're too sensitive
 
I haven't posted for you to comment. So.. yeah.. that's not working either.
 
in other words, you're a lot of trouble for not much. Not I'm not a dove, I have an attitude, I think it's obvious.
Are we friends now or what? Because I don't want to (I'M KIDDING!)
xD
That's working well when we ignore each others I think
 
I am about as far from "sensitive' as one can get.
 
At some point we'll just be like normal people, and be like "Hi Scoot" "Hi Go-Me"
 
eh no I wouldn't call you sensitive but pretty sure I've got everyone beat in that department
 
5:16 PM
scoot, lol
 
@ZachSaucier new nickname! I think so :)
 
sorry, was a typo
 
DA.
What kind of drama am I missing this morning?
 
I hope it doesn't mean anything bad
 
Nothing important @Da :)
 
5:17 PM
agreed
 
See @go-me .. that's another passive-aggressive statement. Do you not see that?
 
@Ryan Thanks for the file
do I need to google "scoot"?
Scott, you're really pushing it now
 
@DA. hey, want in on the popcorn?
 
Start the machine
 
@Scott I don't see anything passive-aggressive about that comment
Of course I'm the least sensitive person in the building so maybe I'm not the best to make that call. Where's a mod when you need one!?
 
5:21 PM
Scott, I'm not an native english speaker, ok. I had to look the dictionary to know what scoot means. So I've learn this today yay.
 
DA.
I like popcorn
 
haha Ryan
 
"I hope that doesn't mean anything bad" -- as if retaliatory action may be taken against her for previous statements. Implying there's someone hunting her. Admittedly, It's a stretch in context there. So, I didn't really think that's what was meant.
@Go-me I didn't know you weren't a native English speaker until right now. So, perhaps that has been the issue.
 
Think what you want, you're really giving yourself a lot of trouble honestly.
Well, that's sad. You taught I was just very bad at grammar. Or maybe I'm not that bad after all.
I have lot of mixed feelings right now :(
:)
 
DA.
Oh! go-me is Quebecian! That explains a lot. (I say that with love of my fellow Canadian)
 
5:25 PM
Honestly.... @Go-me if you aren't a native English speaker it all makes much more sense.
 
@DA. I thought you were European
hah
 
How am I the only one who was capable of knowing that weeks ago? :\
 
I knew that for a while (non-native speaker, not Canadian)
 
DA.
@ZachSaucier I'm 'murican but have Canadian Citizenship as well. My back-up plan.
 
Not the best backup plan but better than nothing
 
5:26 PM
better health care.... at least for single workers :)
 
DA.
affordable college
beavers
lots of benefits.
 
health care, if you like waiting 12hr for minor stuff. Yes it's free
 
yeah I actually thought about relocating to Canada just because hey actually seem to CARE about the citizens :)
 
DA.
you can easily wait 12 hours for minor stuff in the US as well.
 
you can wait way more than 12 hours (and pay) in the US for almost anything.
 
5:27 PM
Well move in an english province, there's tons of racists here
 
I need to get in to see a doctor for my brain
 
that may also be where our disagreement stem Go-Me... you deal with people that are of that mind set so it's natural to assume others may be as well.
 
DA.
Quebec is something entirely different.
 
Well I didn't know that Scott,I thought the health care were better since a lot of us go in usa for this actually
 
think in general healthcare is better in the US... but more expensive.
 
DA.
5:29 PM
I don't say this in a mean way, but being from Quebec does actually explain some of the passive-agressiveness of Go-me's posts. That's just kinda how things are in Quebec.
 
don't push your luck DA01
I'm moving in an english province to get away from the morons here
 
Nope. It's not "better" as a general rule but the doctors may have more experience. Because they earn more money by specializing.
 
DA.
Which province are you moving to?
 
Another one :)
 
DA.
As for healthcare, it's not 'better' in the US in a general manner.
For some specialties, it can be.
But overall, the US is rated way down the list for quality of health care.
Yet it's one of the most expensive systems.
 
5:31 PM
I pay uncle sam a few hundred dollars every year and still don't have health care. I'm part of the 3-10% the affordable care act hurts rather than helps.
 
yeah sorry guess thats what I meant. Friend's baby boy had a heart transplant. Doctors gave him a year and its been 3 now. They'd like to move either to Canada or Europe but there's no place they can go where they'd be able to get him the care for his heart instantly when needed
 
I pay it in taxes, quite high.
Ryan, the waiting list here is horrible. It's very corrupted, at least in my province.
 
DA.
The US is absolutely the best health care in the world if you're part of the demographic that has unlimited funds. For everyone else, eh...
 
Well there's Cuba where canadians go for surgeries
Yeah I know, I can't complain. At least we get some healthcare and it doesn't cost a mortgage
I would all sponsor you (but Scott) to come to Canada but... IT'S A JOKE SCOTT
 
Oh so now I'm not worthy of sponsorship!!!!!!!!!
 
5:36 PM
you know that doesn't really help right?
 
(that's a joke too)
Actually knowing there's a social disconnect is helpful.
 
Phew!
 
Allowing for cultural differences shows things in a new light.
 
That was more a "wink" to Scott
 
Or at least casues me to approach the comments I find offensive in a different manner.
 
Great
I still have an attitude but maybe you'll be more tolerant knowing I have a lovely accent
 
attitude is no issue... I can give what I receive. :) I've been around the block a time or two.
 
DA.
That sums up Quebec nicely...attitude with a lovely accent! :)
And a decent hockey team.
But still can't forgive Quebec for Celine Dion.
 
Ah sorry for Celine, we sent her over your place
I LOVE CRÊPE SUZETTE!
 
And we circle back to rep... "If you ain't first, you're last!"
 
5:45 PM
Hey actually @go-me, can you translate "feu creuse" for me. Want to make sure google translate is giving me something accurate
been thinking about registering that as a domain name
 
Bit like asking a tattoo artist for a Chinese symbol :)
 
Maybe there's an accent missing... But it could mean "deep fire" or "digging for a fire"... Feu=fire, creuse = deep, creusé=dug
 
 
where did you get that? That's not a good insult
 
hmm do you know "Hollow"?
Google Translate said, "Hollow Fire" would be Feu Creuse
 
5:47 PM
yeah that could mean hollow, in the feminine form
 
how's it goin everybody
 
Feu creux, but that's weird
 
Hey John
 
you missed the popcorn, sorry, ran out
 
are we all friends now yet?
 
5:48 PM
that's a lie, there was never any popcorn
Oui.
 
at least tolerable I think. Too early to call overall though. :)
 
@go-me any idea what the right translation of "Hollow fire" would be. Its taken in english so thought of French as next option or italian. But Italian is "fuoco vuoto" which would be terrible
 
Not ready to loan go-me money... but wouldn't be offended when she asked to borrow it :)
 
Canadian dollars are worth more right now aren't they? Haven't checked in a while
 
I'll check the context of hollow fire, one sec.
Actually, Scott...
 
5:49 PM
Nothing shows warmth and compassion more than saying "I tolerate you.". Soon to be widely available in greeting card format as a Hallmark store near you
 
My car broke down and..
Canadian is super low and I'm super happy.
If Scott would lend me money that would mean a lot to me :)
It's peanuts for him
@Ryan I see forest fire when I look at hollow fire
 
:(
so you think www.feucreuse.com is a terrible name?
 
Feu de forêt or feu de brousse
yes, sorry (lol)
 
^ my favorite poem and where the name came from
 
feuprofond could work. It's because in french feu=masculine, and creuse=deep but the feminine form. That's why it doesn't work
I know what I just said could be wrongly interpreted, but you get the idea
Nice poem, by the way
 
5:58 PM
yeah could work close enough. Now the big question will be seeing if all the necessary domains and social media platforms I want are available
thanks
 
must be quite a popular name
you'll end up with feuprofond-79
I think I see what is the hollowfire... Maybe it's BRAISE
That's that red thing perfect to cook meat after a campfire, you know?
It,s a nice word but I'm smiling just imagining how english people will say it
 
Braise is correct.. we steal from other languages a lot.
But we pronounce it Bray-z which may or may not be different ;)
 
English people "roll their R" more than french, that's why I thought it would sound funny
 
Bray-z reminds me of Jay-Z and that reminds me that I saw Straight Outta Compton last night and it was pretty awesome
 
was it? It looks pretty good.
 
6:10 PM
definitely. It was either that or The Gift which didn't look that good to me but got good reviews
 
and actually @Go-me 'Mericans really don't roll Rs much at all.
 
That might be a British English thing
 
Well, the only reviews I really credit are Rotten Tomatoes. All others are always way off for me.
 
but yeah I am pretty bad when it comes to actually needing to rolling an R
 
I don't know how to write the phonetic of how I say braise. But I know you muricans have hard time with that sound.
 
6:12 PM
I go by RT as well. IMDB is too susceptible to vote brigading
 
I watch the movies people say they suck. I usually am happy with those.
I guess I'm just "oppositionary" or whatever (meh that word has a red underline...)
 
I watch things with hot women and food in them.
Okay you got me, mostly things with food in them.
 
I can't even think of one movie with food but Delicatessen :P
And if I remember well, they were eating humans. I guess that doesn't count as food.
 
Eaten Alive?
:) Waiting?
 
Jiro Dreams of Sushi
 
6:16 PM
Does sharks eating people count as food?
 
welcome @Alin
 
yeah.. top of the charts on that one, Ryan :)
 
the Netflix series "Chef's Table"
 
Gordon Ramsay calling people Big Fat Noodle. I like that.
 
@JohnB Yeah , thanks, I Don't really know how I ended up here :)) was looking through the Weekly Design Challenge
 
6:17 PM
Isn't that EVERY show he's on though?
 
@Alin ah cool, you should join next week!
 
Yes, and "wth it's RAW!"
 
@johnB Is the theme already selected ?
 
no, Ryan keeps the themes in a safety deposit box within the highest security bank so that nobody gets an unfair head start
 
@Alin no it gets selected on the spot. I don't even know until I start typing "Todays theme is..."
 
6:19 PM
That's what I thought too
:P
 
=)) Ok, this is starting to get interesting :) I'm in
 
You should come for the next one Alin
 
I will ^^ Can't wait to see what you choose Ryan :) well, have a great night guys, I'm out for now :)
 
Byebye
 
night
@go-me I have this bookmarked to eventually show someone I know that worked for this company, but you'd probably get a kick out of it too askafrenchguy.wordpress.com/2012/02/07/…
 
6:23 PM
haha very bad
That's what happens when they hire a $5 guy on Elance
 
hah no way not this company, they're pretty big
 
Anyway you people should stop saying petites, I see it in a lot of restaurant names and it's always badly used LOL
petite = small but feminine, I find it funny when it's used with a masculine word. All this to sound sophisticated or something.
But I guess it looks alright in english.
 
I think petite usually has feminine connotations in English too, I wouldn't refer to a small guy as petite
 
I meant petite is the feminine form of the word small. Makes more sense
 
right
 
6:27 PM
haha John, that'd be cute though
that'd be cute until you get punched
by the petite guy
 
a petite punch though, could be worth it
:)
 
hahahahahaha very funny
 
Nobody would ever call me petite or small anymore, except my training partners and they're allowed
I lost 15 lbs from stress and insomnia this week :(
 
The coffee diet, I guess?
 
heh, isn't there some saying along the lines of "Once you begin strength training, you're forever small"
 
6:32 PM
@go-me coffee and gin diet
 
ah here it is "the day you start lifting is the day you became forever small"
 
So you ither start lifting Ryan or you keep your designer's diet
 
Dom is awesome
 
@go-me start? hah. I've been lifting for a few years now
^ Monday night
 
you must feel miserable lifting weigth with that gin and coffee diet. I hope you chew some tasty bacon once in a while at least
ARE YOU ON KETO?????66 haha
 
6:38 PM
hahaha obviously!
I know two girls that have done keto, think one still does. I question why every time
 
Well it looks like it
 
@marcusdoesstuff hey hey, how's your training going anyways?
 
Because it feels good
 
I don't really follow any sort of proper diet, would probably make a lot better gains if I did
 
I don't follow any but I don't eat much carbs anymore and it feels good. Carbs makes me fall asleep
That's why I can make 4k rep in 3months, my mind is sharp
LOL
 
6:43 PM
I tend to avoid them because it's too easy for me to mindlessly binge eat them
if I'm going out to eat that's easy portion control, but if I have a bag of chips in my house...welp that's gone instantly
 
I like cooking and eating healthy foods but its hard for me to get in enough calories cause I burn them so fast
 
haha
 
I need to get my weight back up quickly because I've got a competition in October. After that I won't care what weight I'm at for a while
 
eat meat, you'll have ton of energy. Sorry if you're vegetarian
 
the week of my birthday I decided to buy cheap steaks and had a steak with 5 eggs every morning for breakfast. Felt great! Just can't afford to do that every day
maybe if I did Liver and Eggs
 
6:47 PM
hahaha yeah liver is cheap but it's good!
it gets boring to eat eggs after a while
Feels weird to talk about food here. Amazing how bad food is cheap, that's how we should see it I guess.
 
I recently started putting in about a teaspoon of dijon mustard in my eggs, its really helped
 
haha well, I'll need to try this. First time I hear about that mix
 
isn't that essentially a deviled egg?
not the same shape of course
 
I think of it as a poor man's egg's benedict
 
egg benedict has so much butter, you could just drink the sauce and feel full
 
6:55 PM
I like butter, and fat, I've never had foie gras but I want tot ry it
 
It tastes like dog food. At least I guess that's how dog food tastes, don't get me wrong! Last time I ate dog food I was probably 3 years old.
xD
