One fateful night I dreamt that I had made an amazing map. That map was so fantastic it would go on to earn itself a twp spotlight, become the #1 map in the workshop, and later be recognized by Valve. It was a glorious dream fit for that glorious map I had made...

...But then I woke up. My dreams shattered, I wept and went into hiding for about 5 minutes. Then I attempted to reconstruct that map I had made while dreaming, hoping to capture just a shimmer of that brilliance... But, alas, I could not remember anything about the map.

I now feel very sad.

I find that I get epic ideas at work. The manager always 'catches me drawing'. Silly bugger.

sooo frigggen sad man

we have a lamp in my apartment... and I grabbed it for fun, and I honestly was just amazaed at how real time the shadows were updating... just like a projected texture... then I realized that this was the most amazing lamp ever.. and our world supports multiple projected textures without an engine crash or lag

Haha. Now we're getting deeper, ain't we?

I don't dream about Hammer, though I also get the best ideas laying in the bed right before sleeping. I usually draw or write them and do them the next morning. Once, I wrote a poem from 12:30 to 1:30 until I considered it good enough.

Also, about that thought of the world being the best real-time-light engine: Of course it is.
If you would have need to build a computer simulating the whole world, it would have to be as least as big as the world itself, because there is no better way to store information than in the natural world. (Which stores the source information of everything).

Additionally, said computer wouldn't be able to run faster than our universe and therefore simulate the future, because in this case, the computer (from which we suppose to be perfect) would need to calculate also the reactions of the people living on earth when they see what will happen in their future; therefore the computer needs to calculate the earth and itself as also the reaction of earth to itself, what changes the earth again and so on... what leads to the conclusion that said computer would need to be of infinite space.
What means in the end that a perfect simulation of the earth would be a duplicated earth right next to the original one, which could not predict the future. Kinda useless.

If you have not given up yet: It doesn't need to be like I have described: Suppose that said computer would, in fact, exist and predict the future. In that case, the computer would have to make such predictions that in the end, everything fits like a puzzle. For example: the computer says that Bob will die tomorrow in England. Bob rushes towards the airport to get away as much as possible from his homecountry France and incidentally takes the flight to London, which crashes.
The whole thing would then be like the time travel paradoxa, only the other way round.

My bathroom has a pattern of white and turquoise tiles, so it looks very aperture-y. But then every single wall is misaligned, so it looks not aperture-y. Oh, woe.

when you can't sleep at night and you start to think of how you would optimize your house if you'd make it in hammer.

When you realize that the ceiling tiles in a dorm hallway are misaligned FROM EVERY SINGLE EDGE. Honestly, use the texture application tool!

When you wonder why the idiot who built the structure didn't make it free floating and add something nice under it

1097 hours played on Portal 2
51 on Hammer

I think we now need a "You Know You Haven't Made Any Sense When..." Thread.

You Know You've Been Doing Too Much Hammer When... you run out of map names.

You know you've been doing Hammer too much when you fail to think and post posts that make no sense

When you are surprised that you have two shadows from different lights, since Portal 2 only allows one env_projectedtexture at a time.
