hi! this is neil, aka the prodigy aka jega aka your dad. and this is
diode ascii. i assume this will be a one off thing, because it's hard to
sustain by myself. and i seriously doubt any of the people who i'd want to
have join actually would, but i'll get into that later.
my girlfriend left me about a month ago, and i'm mad depressed about
it. i've been filling the void with as much creative output as i can, and it
helps a little. about a week ago, i fired up my old copy of naviagator and
hit acheron, to see if the scene had collapsed or anything. i really didn't
know what was going on, i just sort of left and had no idea what was going on
so there you go. i looked at the remorse, mimic, karma, anal, and hazmat
packs. on the plus side, it looked as though not much had changed. i mean, i
did find out later that wasn't true, but it seemed an easier fit with the first
idea, and made me more comfortable about returning, so i guess that's a plus.
just so you know, i hit an ascii tear, and drew all of these in about
a week. I could have released a bigger pack, but it would have taken a longer
time (my fuiency with ascii drawing peaked last night, so now i have as long
as i like to assemble a follow up, if i so choose. and no, i am not joining
your group, or guesting in your pack. i'm not forcing anything, that'd be
stupid. i'm rusty, and it shows, a lot. if another pack comes out, it'll be a
lot better.
i'm not going to try and shake things up, that'd be gay. nor am i
going to frequent irc, cause i got better things to do. i am, though, going to
try and draw creative ascii, mess around, see if i still have skills or what.
there are a bunch of things i have to shake off, but i hope that people won't
hate me or whatever. i don't know if i did anything to warrant that, but if i
did, eh.
if i could pull together a group i wanted to, though, it'd consist of
the following. i'll stick a nice round 15 on my ideal ascii group, in no set
order, of course (this is old/new). i'm sure i forgot people i liked on here -

haji, meatpod, lord jazz, konami, discyple, massm, mankind, unsane, msd,
kleenex, dieznyik, nitrogen, megga hertz, and polymorph.

with honourable mentions to nahal, gravedancer, eipr0mb, hitek, and maestro.

i don't know a lot of those people, and i certainly don't hold myself
in the same regard as them. but i think it would be cool to have any of those
people in a group. my favorite group ever was endow. trank and s0ap would
battle it out for second, and just to play myself, odelay would be a solid
third. i don't know if any of that means anything, but it's just what i had
rattling around in my brain. i think, that if people went back and looked at
trank, endow, and s0ap packs, instead of trying to be on the next, it would
be great.
i hope you enjoy the little bit of ascii stuff i did, and if there's
enough demand, that you come back for seconds.

enjoy

ps - if any of the people on that list want to join, email me and
we'll work something out. (i want to cover my bases in case hell freezes over,
y'know) if you really want to join, you probably already knew me, so drop me
a line. and if you are one of the people on that list, i will give you one of
my kidneys, if you need it.
