hey @spugsley, I still have permission to use your photos in my project, if I credit you, yeah?

spugsley

@AshleyNunn yes yes :) and if you wanna throw my flickr link out to people I'd be totally cool with that too

Johann

wink wink

spugsley

@Johann lol she did say she pimped me out earlier

user15026

@spugsley awesome

user15026

@spugsley Totally did

spugsley

03:02

@AshleyNunn can I be nosy and ask what kind of project it is?

Johann

why does the huffpost always post one 4chan like post every day

FEichinger

@Johann Because people read that. And if they read that, it pays.

user15026

@spugsley I have to make a typology of visual rhetoric according to the theories of McQuarrie and Mick, so it is basically a grid of nine images acccording to specific criteria, and I am thinking I might use a couple of your pictures for those

spugsley

@AshleyNunn that. sounds. amazing.

if you do, can you tell me which ones? I'm just so interested/curious/happy

user15026

@spugsley Totally will. Hell, I can link you to the finished poster, whenever it gets done :)

@AshleyNunn you would be my hero :3

user15026

@spugsley sweetie, you are the one giving me access to all your lovely images. You are -my- hero.

FEichinger

@Johann You link it. People click on that link. Huffpost gets money.

spugsley

@AshleyNunn :3

Johann

@FEichinger did you click?

Retrosaur

03:05

4chan is not a bad site

spugsley

I wish I got money when people clicked on my links :(

Retrosaur

One part of 4chan that's bad does not make everything else bad

@spugsley Have you considered using those websites which are like tinyurl

but you get paid slightly everytime you get a hit

FEichinger

@Johann Nope.

Johann

@Retrosaur never said it was ALL bad

Retrosaur

Yeah, but it's a common misconception amongst mainstream media

Johann

03:07

@Retrosaur for president

spugsley

@Retrosaur I like keeping my portfolio stuff on flickr since it's an ongoing project. Maybe eventually I'll do something like that. Or maybe I'll get famous and I won't have to :p

Retrosaur

@spugsley lol. I forget the site that nets you money

Have you considered spreading stuff out through DeviantArt?

Because DeviantArt is a really get place to get acknowledged of your work

@spugsley :3

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@Retrosaur refer.ly? That recently closed down

spugsley

@Retrosaur I've tried Deviant but it just seems so....like manga/anime oriented? Or cosplay. Idk. I'm sure it's a misconception on my part

not mango lol

FEichinger

@spugsley I've actually never seen a mango there. :P

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

03:09

@spugsley It's for everything

Retrosaur

Hm, pinterest?

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

As long as it's original, and can be called "art"

spugsley

@Retrosaur yup, I use that like a boss :p

Retrosaur

I'm trying to think of more ways to spread digital media

spugsley

I get quite a bit of traffic from there

You could always use (and I say this with great disgust)...reddit

@Retrosaur goodness, I've tried reddit. But they are so mean to me :(

Reddit is a vile place. Do not venture, young one.

At least there's a "culture" per say, going on in 4chan

Johann

@spugsley ?

user15026

@spugsley Really tempted to see if I can't theme my entire poster around your works, give it a really funky theme, the whole bit. Make it kickass gothic, but classy

Johann

@Retrosaur (o_^)

spugsley

@Johann to promote my photography

FEichinger

@Johann Yes, this again. You've been randomly pinging people, posting single character lines and all sorts of "tests". Now it's more than enough. Do that in the Sandbox, that's what it's for.

@Retrosaur there is actually a photo.se. I don't know if it's an appropriate question though

Retrosaur

I wonder if anyone still uses Digg

spugsley

hmmm ponder ponder

Johann

to end this apparent spamming argument I present reddit reddit.com

Retrosaur

I don't think it's a bad question

iF YOU WONT POST IT, I WILL :3

@Retrosaur ha! I remember digg!

Retrosaur

Um....it's 4chan.org. Not 4chan.com @Johann

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@spugsley If the question is "Where can I promote my photography", no I don't think so

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I was thinking along the lines of

@spugsley The problem with DA is that there's so many good artists on it already, you'll get mildly depressed knowing you'll probably never make something half as good as the things that gets uploaded there daily

spugsley

@YiJiang'sEvilClone maybe less promotion and more....a better word lol

Retrosaur

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Are you dissing her?

Her art's pretty damn good as it is

spugsley

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I feel that way with Flickr. I follow my photo idol Kyle Thompson and I cry a little every time he uploads

@spugsley Apparently here is a decent place to do it :P

@Johann What isn't Something Awful? It's one of the largest and oldest and biggest forum communities on the internet. the 10 dollar one time fee to post does a remarkable job of keeping out the worst of the web, as does a fairly harsh moderation policy.

But about gum, will Singaporeans really "put you in jail" for it?

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@Retrosaur No, you can only ever get fined for bringing in gum.

Is it really really huge?

Fluttershy

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

No, not really

Most Chinese dialects are semi-incomprehensible if you don't speak the dialect in question

LessPop_MoreFizz

Park ave. is a major street in manhattan.

Sunset Park is a neighborhood in Brooklyn.

Johann

biggest difference among dialects ive noted so far is yi versus i

for like the number one

and the pronunciation of zh

Retrosaur

@LessPop_MoreFizz I really don't know, I just heard random tidbits of things from people

@spugsley whee I am having so much fun with your pictures like you have no idea

Retrosaur

ALso, last question for @LessPop_MoreFizz

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

You really haven't heard a properly spoken dialect, haven't you?

Retrosaur

actually two questions

spugsley

@AshleyNunn omg! You just brought an instant smile to my face!

Retrosaur

IS yonkers part of NYC?

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

03:52

Like I said, most dialects are incomprehensible to non-speakers

Retrosaur

Like, is it a borough or something?

user15026

@spugsley I hope you like my poster when it is done

Johann

@YiJiang'sEvilClone hit me with something then

LessPop_MoreFizz

No. Yonkers is a small city in Westchester, just to the north of the Bronx.

@AshleyNunn if it has my work on it, I will adore it forever

Johann

Retrosaur

ALso, last question

user15026

@spugsley Aww :D

Retrosaur

Do real "new yorkers" call the city NYC or the city

Ktash

@Retrosaur There's a world outside of Yonkers?

LessPop_MoreFizz

All of the above.

"The City" colloquially refers to Manhattan specifically - especially for people in the outer Boros.

@AshleyNunn Slacker shake is delicious. I've made it a few times

Retrosaur

Why does that soundtrack remind me so much of Fallout 3

Ktash

@Fluttershy I know it's what you wanted to listen to

user15026

@Ktash I want one. Actually, right now, I want a slacker shake, a hug, cuddles, and a strong drink, and to never have to use Fireworks again

Ktash

@AshleyNunn You should use Photoshop. It is better.

If you listen carefully, it's a mix of English, Mandarin and Hokkien

Q: Are there different Bioshock Infinite endings depending on choices? Do choices make any difference?

The original bioshock had different endings based on certain morality choices, namely whether you saved or harvested little sisters if I recall. I just finished Infinite and I'm wondering if there are any other endings. ** There will likely be spoilers in the answers, don't scroll down if you h...

That's Singapore for you

user15026

@Ktash I nkow that now, but I lack access to it, and I can't get it in time to get this done in it

Retrosaur

@YiJiang'sEvilClone There's Cantonese dialects, no?

Johann

@YiJiang'sEvilClone how do you understand that

Retrosaur

or am I thinking Shanghai

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@Retrosaur There is

Every Chinese city has a dialect

Ktash

@AshleyNunn Well, Firewoks takes some getting used to, but it can actually do a lot

user15026

@YiJiang'sEvilClone This is fascinating. I wish I could pull it apart from a linguistic perspective, but I lack those skills.

Johann

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Ill i understood was hes fat

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Did he have a pack of cigarettes just hanging out on his back?

murgatroid99

@Lazers By the way, this is a duplicate

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@AshleyNunn The code switching is seamless

@OrigamiRobot Pardon?

user15026

03:58

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Which is part of my fascination. I know not enough about Hokkien or Mandarin to appreciate it fully, but it is making me think all sorts of linguistic thinks

user15026

@Johann Seriously.

user15026

You just.

user15026

Augh.

user15026

No.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

The Hokkien parts are completely incomprehensible to me, by the way

user15026

(Huh, apparently you can get a timeout for trying to say too many things too fast.)

Johann

@AshleyNunn ive watched a good share

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@AshleyNunn Yup

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn Yeah.

user15026

@Johann Just because the culture and such is unfamiliar to you does not make it weird

Retrosaur

@Johann No. No. No. Please don't mention how bad Chinese movies are.

Because they're pretty mediocre
