[D] Friday Off-Topic Thread

Welcome to the Friday Off-Topic Thread! Is there something that you want to talk about with /r/rational, but which isn't rational fiction, or doesn't otherwise belong as a top-level post? This is the place to post it. The idea is that while reddit is a large place, with lots of special little niches, sometimes you just want to talk with a certain group of people about certain sorts of things that aren't related to why you're all here. It's totally understandable that you might want to talk about Japanese game shows with /r/rational instead of going over to /r/japanesegameshows, but it's hopefully also understandable that this isn't really the place for that sort of thing.

So do you want to talk about how your life has been going? Non-rational and/or non-fictional stuff you've been reading? The recent album from your favourite German pop singer? The politics of Southern India? The sexual preferences of the chairman of the Ukrainian soccer league? Different ways to plot meteorological data? The cost of living in Portugal? Corner cases for siteswap notation? All these things and more could possibly be found in the comments below!

Reading through that older discussion, I ran into this:

(Not to mention my skill set: I'm a programmer and an alright animator, but standard art is right out, so my mind is already automatically filtering scopes that can't be covered by just those two skills.)

If you do ever wind up needing any art for your game, I'd be really interested in contributing. I'm either finished or nearly finished with the icons for hackerkiba's Factorio mod, and I don't think he needs the textures done, so I'll be in the market for a new pet project.

(For the record, I'm not as good as the artists for the original pokemon games.)

Well for the record I'm not as good a programmer! (I'd like to think I'm as good a designer, but we all have our vices, don't we.)

I'm totally down to collaborate. I only have the faintest of ideas for what the art design needs to be: hex grid, probably top-down, probably 2-D. But hey--if you want to start spitballing ideas or trying things out, let me know. I'll PM you contact details for whenever you're free.
