Who was the first person you met here?

[PluMGMK]

I don't think it's too much of a spoiler to say Matyuv hasn't run it for years, at least since he quit the mod team

[The Jonster]

I'm scared to check, the arrogance in my first few posts is cringeworthy

The first person from here I met was probably Adsolution actually, except I met her on Betilla's Gardens before we both came here!

This still surprises me. You, arrogant?

Anyways the first person I met was definitely Steo, although I still remember his old username back when I first met him. One of the nicest guys I met and probably one of the biggest influences towards my growth of character here on the internet.

I didn't realise you thought this, but it's flattering that you do.

I believe the first person I can remember to ever respond to me was Plum. That's going off memory at least. I do know that Jonster is someone I had a lot of talks with over the years, also really nice and friendly, and we used to both be two very hyperactive posters on here back when we first joined. I met a lot of cool people in the Rayman community (many who inspired me), and I believe the positives outweigh the negatives by far when it comes to the people I have met.

Definitely the positives are better than the negatives. There've been quite a few negatives but infinitely more positives. Like you, R4Y, Plum, Aaron.....like honestly I'm really glad to be friends with you and everyone else I've met.

Speaking of which, wonder where Aaron is? I kinda feel he would usually come around late at this time.

Yeah and I met Hoodoo in the community too. Who would expect to get a girlfriend in the Rayman community.

Also yeah I haven't seen Aaron around.

Pretty sure Adsolution was the first person I met here too, seeing as this video was my introduction to Rayman PC

[The Jonster]

Oh my gosh I remember seeing this video some time ago and thinking "what's with the spelling"
But very informative of how things work here regardless.

That is sum pr0 gam3r edit1ng sk111z right there

OK, another thing I probably don't remember, but will have to watch as soon as this is all over!

Another idea as a video presentation would be a notepad writing whatever you want very slow and playing Evanescence - Bring me to life. Old traditions were the best idk why aren't we doing this anymore.

[The Jonster]

Her video had door music though

Maybe because ever-shortening attention spans mean people would prefer to just read text on a webpage?

[DaveRattlehead]

Ngl, I'd prefer reading a text rather than watching a video where the person spends more time deleting the message and rewriting it than explaining the topic

[PluMGMK]

Yeah, I generally prefer text to videos. I don't want to put my headphones on just to learn something simple!

[Steo]

I prefer text also literally. My course has boring videos a lot and I just wish it had text instead.

[PluMGMK]

Reminds me of a first year physics module back in college, where there was an extra recorded lecture put out every weekend, but I'd say the vast majority of us just read the notes! Truth be told, I feel kinda bad saying it now, cause those guys probably had better things to do with an hour of their time than record a lecture for first years, but they still did it!

Lol, there are actually learning videos of people doing that?

I’ve never heard of a video like that, are they common?

[PluMGMK]

Like a lot of things, they were probably a lot more common ten years ago!

Then there was that person who uploaded a four-part video showing all their failed attempts at the 2D Rayman 2 prototype level from the PS version

[Greengoop]

Were they deliberately failing or actually trying to win?

[PluMGMK]

I think they were trying to win, just not very good at it! Or maybe the recording software / emulation was slowing the game down and throwing them off (assuming it wasn't a real console + tuner card, I don't remember )

[Greengoop]

Was it a montage or their live try every time?
