Decadenttia

For the last 4 years I’ve been working in a cultural company store that sells stationery, books and some toys. I work specifically at the stationery part. One day I started to wrote some anecdotes and I want to share with you some of them. I just picked the ones I can translate. Unfortunately the rest are spanish grammar play on words and they can’t be translated. But here I go. People’s request at a Stationery: Gardening tools Household items Pumice stone (is like a natural file, to soften feet’s skin toughness). Firecrackers Grocer boxes Faucets Door knobs 10 ampere fuses Thermometers Pastry bag Strip lights Hangers Sparklers Wire Sleeping bags Canned tuna Cement Lifejackets People requests at toys area: Erotic games Playboy stickers Misspelled Requests (epic fails): “Postings” (“Post it” stickers) “Javelin Parker” (HP inkjet cartridge) “ number 22 PH cartridge” (HP inkjet cartridge) “Herby Packat” (HP inkjet cartridge) “MS-DOS videogames” (NDS videogames) “Glue-tack” (Blu-tack) “Blue-teik” (Blu-tack) “Bob Marley Fixative” (a Spanish fixative called MANLEY) “The picture of Alan Grains” (..yes, the picture of Dorian Gray) “The watchman of the barley” (“The Catcher in the Rye”, by Salinger) “butter eraser rubber” (a special eraser rubber for charcoal drawing called “bread rubber”). “A physic calculator” (a scientific calculator.) Inexplicable Requests: “internet curriculum vitae” (A man totally obsessed about buying one of these..) “rags for paintbrush cleaning” (Are you telling me you’d pay for this??) “Something for producing smoke” “Yes.. this white ting for the tv….. you know.. the white…” (We still don’t know what could this be..) “Not-anti-inadhesive stickers” (I feel so sorry but we laughed so much..) “For children, toxic piece of chalk. Be sure is toxic. Is for my grandson.” (of course, she wanted the non-toxic ones.) “A pen that only works on paper” “A yellow pencil that writes in yellow color.. but is not a colored pencil, it’s not for drawing .. is for writing…. but it writes in yellow color” Absurd / funny conversations: Customer- Are you the bookstore shop assistant? Me- No, sorry, I’m the stationery assistant. Are you looking for a children book or an adult book? Customer- I need a pen. Customer- Good morning, I’m looking for a textbook. Me- Good morning. I’m sorry this is the stationery, you’ll find textbooks at the other shop, just in front of us. That’s the bookstore. Customer looking fixedly at me – Which bookstore? Where is it? I don’t see any bookstore!! A customer leaves a children dvd at my info desk, almost throwing it to me. Me- Sorry, for paying this dvd you’ll have to go at cashdesk, just right there, at the store exit. Customer: What?? I must go THERE to leave??? (Well.. in case you want to go back home I’m afraid you’ll MUST exit this place, yes.) Customer- I’m looking for a book. I don’t know its tittle.. but the book is blue and a children dies in the story! Customer- I need a book for my son. He doesn’t like books. Customer- this staples don’t fit in my stapler. I look the stapler.. I look the staples. Maybe she bought the wrong ones and they are too small or too big. Then I think “it can’t be.. it can’t be”. I simply grab a staple set , separate it from the next staple set and fit it in the stapler. The customer looks at me with amazement. I try not to laugh. Customer – I can pay my shopping at your desk, right? Me- I’m sorry but this is not a cash desk. You can pay just there, at your right. This desk is only for assistance. Customer- Yes, I know. I’m a regular customer here. Customer- How much is this note-book? Me- I think it has a sticker with the prize (I don’t mind telling prizes I just mean told her she can saw the prize by her own right in front from her eyes) Customer- Don’t worry, I’m sure he didn’t like it.. A lady looking at the pencils shelves: Where are the pencils?? While I’m doing a little cleaning, I find a granny leaning out a shelf. She embarrasses and her face turns red. Then she tells me in a low voice: “I’m not doing anything wrong, sweety. Is just I saw a couple of friends but I don’t wanna they to meet me. He he…” At the same shelf, a customer looks for a sexuality book while another customer is looking for a Bible. Customer- Excuse me.. about that game here.. Me- Can I help you? Customer- This game is called “Vowel”.. Is about vowels? A E I O U? Me- er.. yes. Customer- Excuse me, is this a library? Workmate- No I’m sorry. This is a bookstore. Customer- So I can’t borrow anything without paying? Workmate- That’s it. Customer- So I MUST pay a book for taking it away to home? Workmate- Yes. Customer- So this is NOT a library? Customer- Do you sell clay? Me- Yes, it’s right here. Customer- Wich is the clay that you can model it? Me – All of them. Friday, eleven o’clock. The shop is full of customers, is one of the most busy days in the month. Customer- Excuse me, the shop is open? The phone rings. I pick it up. Me – “place where I work” good morning, can I help you? Customer at the phone, shouting: I’M AT THE DAMN PHONE, MOMMA!!! We sell more than 100 different greeting cards. One day a customer approaches me in a bad mood. Customer- Hey! You sell also this cards? Me- well.. yes. Customer- But some of them are blank. This means I MUST write on them?? ME?? WHY don’t YOU write a text in them??? Customer- Excuse me, do you have the key for this locked showcase? Hope you enjoyed them. :)

How do you celebrate this day? I just only know about that by films and TV, but how do you really live it?

Yes I'm spanish. Spain is a varied land that combines dry and dampness and that makes people from certain city really diferent from another one. I'm from Catalonia, a province at north-east of the country. Since 5 years ago I lived in Barcelona but I moved to a smaller city, Reus (You said you love spanish architecture so I think you'd like Reus). I really love my land but I'm not the patriot type.

I love rain. Thanks, I really need it today.

What attracts me the most is the point of the "sea" culture and how may it be integrated in your everyday life. I mean Greece looks like a territory where travelling by the sea is more common than in other places I know. I'm curious about other thing, how are greek woods? lush forest? small and dry? dark or illuminated? Sure it depens on area; Spain and Greece enjoy the same mediterranean climate.

No, never. Maybe someday I will because I have the feeling I'm missing a really beautiful place. I know just the usual, you know, about history and arts. But even I studied koine (is it how is called? koine, as classic greek language?) at high school (and now I can't remember a thing...) What do you like best of Greece? people? landscapes? cooking?

You're really working hard in this project. Congratulations. It looks interesting so keep on; I'm sure you'll be proud of the game when you'll finish it.

When I started my project I know there would be some problems to solve especially the "actual-modern" atmosphere. Most of the tilesets I've found are fantastic or futurist and I want something more..actual. So I started to make my own collection. You'll recongnize some elements from diferent tilesets and stuff from other rpg makers, but I made some new objects and edited another ones by my own. Most of the resources I've collected have a file-name but not a creator-name and you can find them in different webs. So if you know author's name of any work posted here, please tell me. I'd like to give him/her credit. Hospital Home I have a strong sense of self-criticism so I'm usually editing my own work to make it more complete or better. So I prevent you I may add some other tilesets with variations on later posts... sorry :sweatdrop: Use anything you need, of course.

I have the same problem but maybe you could use these ones. This tileset is an Vx adapted I found time ago in other community. Made by Pyromaniaco. You also can try this (the last one) charas project

Of course you can.

Welcome and enjoy the forums.

I'm working in a modern city map and needed some people to fill it. I don't like use charas in a repetitive way so I decided make some others without animation just for staying at streets, to provide some variety. Use them if you want.

I work all day and only have free time few hours at night. My work hours are usually the same but my level of tiredness depens on season. November-December-January, for example is one of our hardest work seasons so although I'd like to make project progress , I can only think about supper and sleep when I arrive at home. Few weekends ago, while I was enjoying my summer holidays (yeeees! summer holidays at autumn season. I know it sounds weird but this is how it works for me :sweatdrop: )I was working on maker every day so I'm pretty happy about the last progress. (On Sundays I dont' have to go work but this will change starting december.. I really hate Christmas time..) So I never really know when I'll could do more maker-job I really enjoy it when it happens.

I love this series so I was wondering if anyone likes Yakuza too. Year 2006 I found "Yakuza" an unknown tittle for me, but with an interesting point. Was the best purchase I made in months. Graphics were little odd, game developing was not the best.. but I really enjoyed playing. Storyline, submissions and characters were the strong points. Game tells about yakuza Kazuma Kiryu, the Dragon of Dojima. He is released from prison after ten years, and finds things have changed for the worst. His best friend will become an enemy, his beloved Yumi is missing and yakuzas are after a little girl related to a billionaire theft. Basically is a fights game, combined with submisions and funny minigames. Is not a GTA, is not a Shenmue.. it has it's own style. So when Yakuzza 2 was released I didn't think twice about it. The result was better storyline, more interesting characters, fun and better minigames. One of my favorite games ever. Cutscenes are great cinematic moments, with a film pointview. Yakuza 2. Alert yakuza 1 spoilers Two weeks ago I finished playing Yakuza 3. Better graphics, an interesting story (I prefer yakuza 2 screenplay but 3 is great too), and fun.. censored fun. But enjoyable anyway. Karaoke minigame always makes me laugh. Great man, great voice. What I like best of this series is that developers know how to make fun about their topics. Now I can't wait for Yakuza 4. Will be released at spring 2011. I hope they'll decide not to cut much more contents.. And Karaoke rules :D So anyone here is a yakuza fan too? (What aboyut Yakuza Kenzan and Yakuza In the end?)

Marked, this is great! Thanks.

I missed you all. (I was searching for a picture of an emotive reunion to enlighten this moment. I looked for farewells, not for comimg backs, to say I'll never go away again. The word "despedida" is the spanish concept for "farewell" .. and all the google pictures I've found are.. well, yes, "despedida" but... bachelor party..) <_< In the last months I made / edited some resources I'd like to show you, so let's go.

Maybe his mother is not dead. Maybe it's something someone told him to hide a sad true. Maybe she abandoned the baby, horrorized by her own young mad love affair. If this woman is still alive she can lead a dragon exterminator guild o hates dragons for ruining her life. She would be a great middle boss.

Good job with amazing results. Thanks very much for this tutorial. It would be an interesting idea to create a script for fixing /unfixing panorama movement.

I really love this thread. Two pictures of my Memento Mori project, made basically of original rtp but modified with photoshop effects and adds on. I now they are not really in-game pictures 'cause I made them just for the intro, but I like this kind of screenshots. sorry, big size.
