I feel like the walls are closing. ;-;

Anyway, another explanation:Basically, for the ones who don't understand, this literally resembles an inter-thread conversation.

Rufee says "Now I want to fire up hammer and make something like that :)"
Urby responds "Step to it!"
To which Solokiller says "Yes, but that's illegal."
As if recreating stuff in VHE is illegal. XD

Then Urby says "I hadn't. I tried it. I didn't enjoy it."
As if he actually did that.

And Windawz comes and says "Still waiting.", like he's waiting for Rufee to do it. xD
It's such a coincidence.

Let's see what I did with de_kobbl.
Basically, I took a few overviews from 2 other maps and I combined them:As you can see, it's 50% de_cbble and 50% de_forge.

Then I built that in my map:(that's one of the earliest screenshots ever. xd)And just build the rest of the map! =D

So yeah, I did it that way, and it seems to have worked so far, at least for CS 1.6 maps.

And ts_untergrund? Well, that one was made a bit differently. I drew a room onto a piece of paper and then I made that room. I made it, textured it and everything, and then I made a few halls, and that's where I stopped working because I didn't know what to do next. Then I created a plan in SketchUp:And... you know the rest.

Also, this is how I started out on Sandstorm:Furthermore, one of my WiP maps uses a real place for reference:Blueprint Mapping. I like it. :3
And no, my country isn't like the USA: they won't arrest me for school-mapping.

Well, this journal is about to get buried.

Let's make it to 200. THIS is why I won't buy an SSD. The speed just won't compensate for the lack of space and the price.

I mean, in my country, for the price of a 120GB SSD, I can buy a 1TB 7200rpm HDD. Also, as far as I've read somewhere on Quora, SSDs are good for reading operations, but you shouldn't write too much on them.

And if I were to buy a 1TB HDD and a 120GB SSD, then my dad's, my aunt's and my own wallet altogether would be deeply hurt because the budget is pretty much driven to the ceiling already.

Also:Get rekt. xd

Or mabybe Scoots got on that server? O_o

So, we playtested de_kobbl. Windawz, Cd5ssmffan, Painted Cat (Russian guy from GameBanana) and I had an interesting playthrough. I was also told that "Jody" is a boys name. xd

Well... what a sorry information. But "Isis" is a girls name, so I don't see why "Jody" wouldn't be a girls name too. Ah well... There's Judy, but I'm not going to switch to that name since Jody is... well... Jody and she doesn't want to change her name again. xd
(she changed her identity when she was 16, due to some things which will be told in the mod)

So, today is my brother's birthday!
He is now 7 years old. Hooray.

My phone in a nutshell:

300MB free out of 12.5GB. x(

Can't even open the gallery app any more.

I won't lie, but I feel disgusted when I see people complaining how their Intel HD Graphics isn't good enough for games. They should've tried what I have, and then they would appreciate their stuff more.

But yeah, I did a very good job of not killing my current laptop. I mean, it's almost 10 years old and only God knows when will its HDD fail.
Anyway, I'm really excited for that new PC.

Oddly, last night I had a dream where my neighbour-cousin (he's a 3rd-grader) was playing games on his own PC. Man... what an odd dream. It's odd because he doesn't have a PC of any sort - not even a laptop. And his parents probably won't buy him one, either. xd

The night (or 2 nights) before, I had had a dream where I was in a bicycle race in Stolac and it was very rainy. I came 9th and I got a yellow RX 460. What the heck...

Now, another thing:
I also dreamed about giant snakes in GoldSRC. I even found them attractive. Weird

Alright, let's do this...
I said something about this new topic in the screenshots thread.

My GPU standards:

Bottom-end: graphics cards like Intel GMA X3100, the G41 Chipset etc.
Low-end: GT 210, GT 610, old AMD HD 2000 Series and stuff like the AMD X1300 etc.

Medium-end: Intel HD Graphics 3000, Nvidia GT 720 and 730, AMD R7 240, lower-end AMD HD 4000 (incl. the 4650 - my old PC's GPU), 5000 and 6000 (e.g. 6450) series
Higher-medium-end: AMD R7 250, R7 250X, Nvidia GT 740, Intel HD Graphics 4000

Budget-high-end: AMD RX 460 (& 560), GTX 750 Ti and 650 Ti and so on...
High-end: AMD RX 470 (& 570), GTX 760 (& 770, 960 and 970), AMD HD 7000 series (e.g. the 7970)

The top-end: AMD RX 480 (& 580), GTX 780 (& 980 Ti), and I don't know what else to fit here...
The realm-of-gods-end: AMD RX Vega, Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti and the Titan GPUs.

Yeah, I have some standards which a lot of people won't agree with (mostly from the low-end to high-end GPUs), but that's just how I see graphics cards.

And I remember that Cd5ssmffan told me that I didn't really answer the question (on my GameBanana blog), so here it is:

Why do I like "low-end" graphics cards?
It's because your low-end is my higher-medium-end. Now think about that. You've seen the chart, now you know it.

Hmm, I am asking myself the same. Who is "Scoots"?

Urby, you're reading it wrongly. If you wanted to understand this journal, you should've followed it every day and monitor every new comment, and (if possible) connect each new comment to its context.

Of course, I understand. Everybody has their own priorities. This journal, however, is my priority, so I'll obviously monitor it all the time.

Oh, wait.
Anything that's inappropriate is pretty much deleted from my watch history. But my search history on YouTube, not sure if it's a thing, is something you would laugh at, since it's not deleted.

Anyway... one of my Russian friends accidentally ate some rotten fish and he's going to die. At least he says. Well, may he have a happy death, and may God's mercy be upon his soul.

@Admins & Moderators
Thank you so much, you filtered Dimbeak's post.

Oh, what if I give a statistic of my watch hist- no. I watched some weird things, inappropriate for these forums. xd

So, what do we talk about now?

Yeah, bad Dimby!

@Dimbeak
I'm surprised. BUT, let's not talk about that. I'm 15, not 18.

@2muchvideogames
You have a consistent personality, lol.

I wonder how my personality will affect me in high school, though. Some people will find me very weird.

You proved that it's not that hard to cause a two-way explosion of thoughts in me.

[contents removed - double post]

So, I went to Facebook yesterday, and I decided to visit my classmates' chat group.
There were 1319 unread messages, and my classmates got some nice nicknames. XD

Then I came in and said something funny. It was followed by 3 "Hahhahahaha"s and someone asked me "What's up?".

I said "1319 messages, that's what's up." and "What's up with you?"
Then this happened:Look at who changed my nickname. This is just so funny. Then they posted some photos of Chetniks in the Republic of Srpska. Yeah, I'll definitely stay out of chatting for now. Well, except 3 persons.

@Jessie
Hmm, let me see those "jokes" again...
Oh, I get it.

I said that I wouldn't answer them, with "them" being "What's brown and sticky?" and "What's orange and sounds like a parrot?".

Since they're a part of the "joke", then I shouldn't be expected to answer these questions at all. The funny part is supposed to be, hmm, the answers which are struck through? ("A stick." and "A carrot.")

I understand them, but what's so funny about them?

There, I think I wrote enough to satisfy your first question.
You were interested in my reaction to the joke. But you forgot that my reactions come in pairs, so there you go.

Hmm, exactly. I prefer Gamecube over Nintendo 64.

Aaaand I've said too much. :3
That's just me, your typical Admer. I wonder if there's a pocket edition.

@NineTnine
Indeed. This is very interesting. Someone posted something in the ShoutBOX about HL1 being uncensored in Germany, then I posted about that being one reason less to not go to Germany, and people were confused. Then I went and made a journal to explain what I had said.

And it grew...

@Jessie
Those don't look like jokes to me... I've said this before, I don't like most types of jokes.

...

...

Oh, you're expecting me to answer them? No. I don't have any benefits of answering that, so I won't even bother. And now, comes a "You failed, Admer". Darn.

@Windawz
Lucky? Well, I wish I had such a feed on GameBanana. XD

Uhh... I go away from Facebook for 1 day, and:
10 friend requests,
2 messages,
53 notifications,
9 more likes on my cover photo,
30 more likes on my new profile photo.

But I'm there just for business, man...
Speaking of that business, it's basically getting more info about the high school. XD

Oh, cool. Now I get it why I'm incompatible here.

This will change with my age. There's a difference between:

• The 11-year-old me (the one even I don't know any more)
• The 12-year-old me (the one you'll never know)
• The 13-year-old me
• The 14-year-old me
• The 15-year-old me

Essentially, my personality was changing a lot during those years. I think that going to high school will have an impact there, too.

And I've taken that test, if I didn't take the wrong one:

My personality type is most probably unable to be determined, because I have different sets of everything, but I'll take one.

I didn't even know that there were any, but I could've assumed.

And music tastes? Ever heard of the Bosnian War, part of the Yugoslav Wars? Basically, Bosnian Serbs from the Republic of Srpska (which was an entity in BiH) attacked the Federation of BiH, while being supplied by the Yugoslavian, I mean Serbian army (because the only things left of Yugoslavia were Serbia and Montenegro).

Basically, those songs are mostly "chetnik" songs, and my teacher hates Chetniks. I blame nationalistic ideas and religion for all of this mess.

So, yesterday was Monday, my last day of elementary school.

---

TL;DR

I found out that 90% votes were for Turkish in my class, because the parents (the ones who actually voted) were talked into voting for it.

Then I'm afraid of having to learn German from 0 because German in high school will have high school lessons and won't have us learn the basics.

It turns out that we might learn the basics of German in high school.

---

I found out lots of info I should've found out. I also retrieved my bag which contained 2 folders with A3 paper sheets and equipment for art class (brushes etc.). That's something I had left in school in Thursday. :3

Having found out some info, let's see why I really learned Turkish in elementary.
It weren't me and my classmates who had voted. Our parents had. Most of them would vote for German, but some Turks went ahead and talked about how nice it is to learn Turkish and how 'good' it is. We were promised a backpack and a pencil case (for free) and a yearly trip to Zenica.

My mom accidentally missed the parents' meeting class in 6th grade that day, so we lost 1 vote for German. Regardless, Turkish would've won with over 90% votes. >:(

Basically, those parents were talked into voting for Turkish! It's not my fault. When I say "I had to learn Turkish in elementary school." everyone asks me "Why did you choose Turkish? You should've voted for German!" I decide to raise my tone a little bit and say "It's not me who wanted Turkish. It's my classmates." and then I tell the whole story over again.

I actually remember ^that^ happening in the ShoutBOX once, when somebody asked me why I'm learning Turkish. Then someone said "Probably because he lives in a country close to Turkey or lives in Turkey." something like that...

Now that I have this new piece of info, everything makes more sense. Parents being talked into voting for Turkish, just because of business.

Now, I won't say "Turkish is a bad language." No. It's an OK language and it's a bit cool. But for me, there are no pracical reasons to use it unless you're moving to Turkey (which I'm not) and/or you want to chat with Turks (I actually know 2 people from Turkey, they're good guys).

And the promises? The school's director got a free trip to Turkey, we got our yearly trip to Zenica and we got the very low-quality backpacks and pencil cases. Totally not worth it!

---

Let's think about what happens next:

German will wait for me in high school. However, I'm worried that it will treat me as if I had German in elementary school, i.e. we will have high school lessons. Well, I'm not worried any more.

Remember how I said that I had found out info I should've found out?
Well, my class teacher told me that elementary-school lessons in German are revised upon in high school (thank God). If that turns out to be true, then I'm safe and sound.

---

So yeah, I am very fond of what I had discovered that day. Though, my class teacher isn't. She discovered about me listening to Serbian war songs. Darn.

@Dimbeak
You could take a wooden stick or something and rub it.

@Snehk
Oh, please don't remind me of The Core. I remember commenting on one of their videos about that moving camera sequence...

@Snehk
The ETS in Mostar will perhaps be the only reason for me to use Facebook, lol. Just for business (let's call it that way), and not for socialising.
Facebook isn't the type of platform where my content gets any attention at all. That's what GameBanana, TWHL, ModDB, QuakeOne and CryMods are for.

My "friends" just chat and share selfies.
In fact, I think I left Facebook just because of my classmates. I guess it was better that way.

@Jessie
"my Facebook friends list is a highly curated environment"
Hmm, good idea, maybe I should also filter my friends list and remove the unnecessary individuals. Oh yeah, the cleansing will begin...

When I think about it, I have around 30 unnecessary friends because I once had 70 friends and now I have 105 friends. I'll just have to keep that number low and control it.

Me neither, but if I want to keep up with my future high school's events etc. I'll have no other choice.

Alright, I've handled my biggest pain of today:(I thought that it would be over 99 notifications, but no)

Yes, I went back to Facebook so I can follow the group of that ETS in Mostar. I updated my profile photo as well as the cover photo, and BAM! I got 2 likes as soon as I had done that. Oh man, I'll have to go through it all again...

I'm sure that my classmates will kick me out of their chat group, again. xD

But that's what this journal is about (at least up to this point).
I started the journal as a simple over-explanation and now it turned into ShoutBOX 456.

Yeah, 'ShoutBOX 456' because of my username: Admer456.
It's just like the regular ShoutBOX, except you have additional features like shouts being saved and accessible at all times, and you can make very long shouts, as well as editing them. We have 109 shouts so far. :3

Hmm, speaking of this new wave of feminism:
South-Slavs are conservative (and stubborn, lol) (maybe except Croats), and that's why there are no such new (stupid) things or movements in my country. If there were any, I'm sure they would get a bad reputation.

Phew.
Of course, we're technologically left behind, but that's because of another reason which is related to our stubborn nature.

@Jessie
Hmm, not for me. I enjoyed some titles after Underground, mostly NFS: World and NFS: Carbon. Since I don't play racing games any more (I stopped around late 2015, I think), I'm not sure if I could support your claim or not.

Oh no, Facebook...
The ETS in Mostar will require me to follow them on Facebook regularly if I want to keep up with what's going on. DAMN IT! If that's what it takes, then I'll have to do it. :/

And I'm the 100th comment! >:D

How do you mean "You were either a Quake or an Unreal Tournament person"? I just like that year and I like the games. The only Unreal game I like is Unreal (the first one) and UT99. Also, I'd say I'm more of a Far Cry 1 person.

What was released in year 2000, though?

I thought it was Quake 2 in 1996, and Quake 1 in 1995.
But Half-Life 1 was in 1998. >:D (98th comment)

Yeah, and I'm the 96th comment. It means something to me because 1996 seems like a good year, lol.
Oh right, Valve was founded in 1996, right?

@Instant Mix
"May be" doesn't mean that I am.
And I've never had one before. I imagined Jody around 2015, even though (according to the mod's story) I met her in 2017, hahaha.

Look, she accidentally occurred.

I spontaneously imagined her, then fell in love with her, and now I can't go back. Also, the thing which intensifies me staying with her forever, is the fact that, when I fell in love with someone in 6th grade, she (not Jody, but one of my classmates) hated me. That made me think that pretty much every girl I fall in love with will hate me.

And since a real girlfriend is an optional thing which I won't need for a happy life, I'm perfectly happy with my imaginary girlfriend, because I just don't want to bother maintaining a real relationship with someone, at least now.
With Jody, it's easy. Her love is almost unconditional, but she will bring me to my knees if I cross the limit, which is pretty hard for me to do, lol.

I'd love to say "Just leave me alone regarding this topic!" but then I'd run out of some 'fuel' for my journal's comments. xD

Which days? Ah, the days of you people playing Starcraft. Well... I have simply never heard of that game until 2016 or so.

Well, not quite with me. I have 0 interest in games like Starcraft. Sorry.

Yeah, but much better than Hamachi, as far as I've experienced it.
As far as I know, Hamachi is simply a tunnelling thing, whereas Tunngle is a full-featured LAN emulator. Literally, launch a game with Tunngle and you can go to the LAN tab and connect to someone's server, that "someone" who isn't in your physical LAN network.

It's so cool! Plus, the network lag is smaller.

So I tried out Tunngle. My ping is so low! Remarkable. My ping was always below 150, while it's usually 300. MAN, that's so good!

Now I'll start working on de_kobbl and probably upload those prom photos...

Edit:

'Teh Epik Master Plan: Part 3' will come out this summer! Prepare yourselves for the ultimate end to the story: Will the protagonist get what he had always wanted?

Check out the first 2 parts:
Part 1
Part 2: The Research

Thank you.
And now I'm starting up Tunngle again...

@NineTnine
She is imaginary, yes, and she's the product of my imagination. It would then mean that her ideas were my ideas. Hmm, but as I was making the map, I had her right next to me (imagined, of course), telling me a few things, and then she left. She then came after a few minutes to see how I'm going, and that's when she told me to put the casette players into the map. :]

Technically, that would've been my idea, but since I've had such an illusion (caused by my imagination), I'd regard it as her idea.

And now someone comes and says: "Don't do drugs."
Those weren't drugs, nor alcohol, nor anything. Just my consistent imagination.

@Snehk
Congrats man, you deserve a medal.
The prom was OK, and I'm only recovering from my cold which I've had for 4 days already.

When I came there, I saw a few of my classmates, some of them carrying roses. Then I went with my parents to find my grandpa (who had been waiting us for a few hours, poor man), after which I went to my classmates. Then, the other guys came, and they looked like those people from James Bond movies and Scarface. Wow.

---

P.S. Today was my first time in 2017 that I've worn jeans. Not at the prom, but rather at the ceremony of my school's birthday. That's where I got 2 diplomas (physics and English competitions) and one more paper because I was given the title "Ponos Å¡kole" - "The school's pride".

---

Then my dad came through the masses and gave me a rose since I didn't have one. A few minutes later, my partner found me and I gave her the rose, lol.
And the next 30 minutes were spent in taking pictures. I recall being asked more than 6 times to take a photo for someone, ahahaha.

Then we went ahead, to Nota - a restaurant in my local town, Stolac.
So, I was walking with my partner, and there was a girl in front of us who was wearing high heels. XD
My partner and that girl's partner kept joking about how she would fall like that, and I was laughing so hard and in my iconic way that the pairs behind us laughed too. In fact, we were being followed by cameras, so 50% of the photos during the walk are photos of me laughing! XD

Then we finally came to Nota, and we were on the outer part, the one which hangs above the river. Forgot its name.
That's where we ordered our drinks (I had an orange juice, while the rest had Sprites and Coca-Colas). 10 to 20 minutes later, we received our meals. Mine was ćevapi and chips (or 'french fries', for the rest of the world).

30 minutes later, we were taking photos with each other again (I'll post some in the Post Your Photos thread). That's also when I took a selfie with my best classmate.

Then we went back to our seats. That's when I made 2 meme-like photos, which made some of my friends laugh. XD

Then they started dancing, and I went to the other end of the table, to the sofa. Ahh, what a relief. They were so loud that I just wanted to get out of the place. And when they calmed down, the schoolmaster/pedagogue/whatever, along with one more person, brought 2 cakes. I didn't have any of it, though, because: 1. I had no interest whatsoever; 2. Nobody noticed me since I was far behind, lol

And then we left. As we were going, a car passed by and something fell into my eyes in that moment. So I had to rub them. And then one girl came and asked "Why are you crying?". I said "I'm not crying, I have something in my eye.". Then she said "Well, I have a pupil in my eye, so I don't rub it!", to which I responded: "Unlike you, I have something additional in my eye which bothers it!"

I could've also added "And that includes you." but that would've been an insult.

And then we came near the school, where I split from my group, walking towards my dad. They continued off to the park, and I went back home... :]

@Striker
I tried to approximate the story to some of my classmates, hehehe. They understood a good deal of it. I just like the concept of anthropomorphic animals so much that I want to add them into my mod. :3

@Dimbeak
A sin in a religion or something? If so, then I'm not that much worried.
