up til now i didn't know there was anybody who cared whether or not one television painter of tame oil paintings ripped off another television painter of tame oil paintings but i guess here we are

I grew up watching William Alexander on my local PBS station. The guy was able to set up a little cottage industry for himself, but he never made it big. Then one of his proteges rips him off and refuses to acknowledge him while becoming a widely-acclaimed celebrity that no one ever speaks ill of?

fuck that. Lines have to be drawn in the sand.

Alexander claims he invented a technique that had literally been used for centuries before him. Ross credited Alexander with teaching him so it's hard for him to be a fraud. That said, you obviously care way more about this than I do so rock on with your Ross hatred :D

He's not claiming he invented the technique -- his company's web site clearly states he used a "centuries old method of oil painting called wet-on-wet", but he did develop the specific formula for Magic White. Ross ripped off Magic White and renamed it "Liquid White", which his company now sells by the boatload.

And apparently you didn't read the part I quoted from the NYT article where Ross refused to credit Alexander, so I'll post it again:

He declined to name the teacher who first inspired him, explaining somewhat uneasily, "Now he is our major competitor."

Assholes deserve to be called out. I wouldn't spend a single penny on this Humble Bumble simply because Ross's name is on it. Or maybe I'll penny it, have the penny go to charity, and make HB eat the Paypal processing costs.

From your own article: "He betrayed me," he said in his strong German accent. "I invented 'wet on wet.' I trained him and he is copying me -- what bothers me is not just that he betrayed me, but that he thinks he can do it better."

Your NYT quote from Ross describes one interview with him and the NYT. Per Wiki:

Ross dedicated the first episode of the second season of The Joy of Painting to Bill Alexander, explaining that "years ago, Bill taught me this fantastic [wet-on-wet] technique, and I feel as though he gave me a precious gift, and I'd like to share that gift with you [the viewer]"

[UtilizingMoreThanOneSourceIsFundamental.jpg]

You can see the dedication in the first minute of the episode

Note that Ross doesn't falsely claim to have invented a centuries old painting technique while pouting, he just said "Yeah, someone taught me this but he's a competitor now so I'd rather not discuss." That's classier than outright lying about having invented something.

So you think a single quote of him saying "I invented wet-on-wet" means he suddenly thinks he invented the technique? After years of stating in public that it was an old technique? Did you even bother clicking on the link I provided?

And of course Ross is pally-wally with Alexander while he's starting off (note: SECOND SEASON of Joy of Painting), but then after he hits it big, he turns his back on Alexander and refuses to mention him by name -- and you still think he acknowledges his teacher? And that he's not an asshole? Where's your source that states he acknowledges Alexander at the time of the NYT interview, smartass?

I'm done with you.

Is it too late to get in on the ground floor of "I hated Stephen Hawking, he was such a jerk phony ass-face?"

Someone on a game I was playing last night argued how horrible and abusive he was six times in the few minutes after the news went public, so I asked them to cite sources for their defamation (because I couldn't find anything on Google about him angrily nudging people with his wheelchair) and they screeched WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM I DON'T HAVE TO PROVE IT TO A NOBODY STOP GANGING UP ON ME. So no, it's never too early to start ridiculing a severely paralyzed dead guy, who was one of our best theoretical physicists these past 20 years.

It's funnier if you make memes out of it, though. Like this:

Doesn't that say that the sequences are not taken from the game? (French is a little rusty, haven't routinely used it in almost 20 years).

 
New Tomb Raider on September 14th, new Prey sometime. The lead up to E3 already getting hype.

This time I'm innocent - I copy/pasted the URL directly from my post and it's okay. The issue is CAG's filter/redirects. I guess Apple doesn't want Cheapy to get rich off links to the iTunes store. Meanwhile links to the Google Play store go through the filter okay.

I guess that settles the Apple vs Android debate.

Much better choice than a lot of their special characters over the years.

Frankly, I think this is the game I'm most looking forward too in 2018.

I've never been big into fighting games but I'm strangely looking forward to this too. Haven't played a soul caliber game since the GameCube or something like that but it looks pretty cool.
 
Steam is going big this weekend with a sale on all of the RPG Maker software.

I would recommend RPG Maker MV for anyone interested in getting their 16-bit JRPG on. I've played around with it a bit, and found it fairly easy to get into. It comes with a sizable amount of existing art and sprites, so it's possible to focus mainly on the story, world-building, and mechanical systems instead of having to worry about extensive artistic content creation. (a real boon for the non-artists who want to build a game) It's also flexible enough to allow for some pretty impressive extension, and the MV version of it is far more cross-platform compatible than previous versions. (which would only run on Windows) RPG Maker MV allows you to export your games to numerous different operating systems and devices.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend the visual novel software they have on sale. This is a newer software package, and it appears to be quite buggy, and in need of some more development before its ready for proper production. There are also more seasoned options on Steam for visual novel creation, such as Tyrano Builder. (which also often goes on sale) Perhaps their VSN software will be in a more mature state in a year or two, but for now I would take a wait-and-see approach.
