Re: What made you feel giddy today?
I managed to swim 1500m today.

This post has helped to restore my hope in humanity.A lot of times when I decide to post a comment on a story, picture, painting, video, or whatever, I try to make it as effusive and glowing as possible. I just really like to make people feel good, and as a writer/author myself, I know how good I would feel if someone said something like that to me. It's not that it's not truthful... it's just that as an artist there's a difference between saying "Wow, cool story!" and being specific about saying what exactly you enjoyed about it. Both are nice, but the second just pushes it to another level.
Anyway, I wrote a comment like that for a story that I read recently. Later on that day, the author replied to me telling me how much I boosted her confidence. She hadn't expected anyone to like the story because it was a bit controversial, but now she plans to write multiple sequels to that story when she didn't really have the confidence to continue it before.
That just made me so happy.
Well, you deserve to feel happy, because that was a very ncie thing to do.A lot of times when I decide to post a comment on a story, picture, painting, video, or whatever, I try to make it as effusive and glowing as possible.

Good on you, Ranger! I can tell you, as a writer, the "loved your story" does give the warm and tinglies but hearing what people liked best makes for definite giddiness.A lot of times when I decide to post a comment on a story, picture, painting, video, or whatever, I try to make it as effusive and glowing as possible.

Just don't act like the tweens that were on the train to PAX with us two years ago who kept walking by the guy and then walking by again ad infinitum until one of them finally went "Are you--?" And then they dragged him away for the rest of the train ride (and mind you, this was a 10 hour train ride).I may be actually going to Eurogamer this year and meet my YouTube idols. Holy crap I'm excited.
Oh yeah also I got accepted for participating in the immabeast experience by Willdabeast Adams. Pretty excited for that too.
