But it is impossible not to read these sorts of things, good Tom. Be well.
 
I told you not to read it. ;)

And here I thought your worst laziness was not updating "Ask Dr Snoot" since September 2003.

But seriously... bummer.

I definitely think it is most desirable to have them linked (panels/teleports would be a total pain otherwise!), but I can see benefits for having an unlinked mode available. But I don't think this is a really high priority if it's hard to implement since there are probably much more pressing issues to address...

Okay, there will be a party to commemorate the 5 year anniversary when it rolls around. ;)

Bummer...

I read this too late to warn me for a same kind of experience the day before yesterday. In our case, my tiredness, not listening and not appreciating what she does enough were the cause of a row, which escalated. We nearly broke up, which is not a good thing to do when you're married and have a kid.
But we managed to get back together again and did a roadtrip to celebrate that.

Good luck, and I'm listening to your AAD right now...

Heya Tom,

Just thought I'd give another wave hello to the keeper of the eternal thread.

Every so often in my random 'Googles' this thread pops up, and it always brings a smile to see it still trucking on.

Bring on the 5yr anniversary I say. I'll certainly be here to post comment on 12.01.06

Well, I thought about it a little more, and thought about implementing a mode for linked/unlinked editing (note this is also the case for moving the selection), but I think it just doesn't make sense to do them unlinked. The reason is that the foreground and background share the same destinations, so you can't really edit them independently.

Well, it means that if I have something in one world already laid out and then extend a pattern in the other world, it's likely to mess up what I've already done.

How often are you going to have patterns of the same dimension and position that you want to extend on *both* worlds at the same time?

Hmm, the first is just laziness on my part, which I should fix.

The second I did on purpose and I thought was the right behavior. Is it generally undesirable? What do others think?

Editor Bugs:
If cancel out of the level title dialog w/esc, it forgets what was there and renames the level 'untitled'.

If you hilight an area and use shift-arrows to expand, it affects both worlds. (If bizzaro land has tiles in the same area, the pattern expands.) This is generally undesirable.

Just be around, call her and ask if she wants to play Mario Kart.
She deserves another try at it.
I like your songs alot.
People are weird. They feel suffocated and then they feel neglected. If she's irrational in any way, give her space and then contact her. But don't leave her alone for days unless she asks for that.
The same advice would be given to her if you were the irrational party. With Murphy's Law taking into effect, you're probably both irrational. Then you have to do something that is so irrational and in her favour that it just stuns her.
And that's probably not something that's so big it gets insignificant, but something much different. Small and concrete.

Thank you friends.

Sorry to hear this, Tom. I can sympathize, as I've made similar mistakes (recently, even!). I hope things work out.

1. I can't tell you how many times in five and a half years we've been sure that we would be broken up within the week, and then came back together. If it's right, one of you will *always* take the initiative to pick up the bits and continue.

2. Your warning may have roused my own initiative enough to save me a similarly ugly situation in the near future.

3. Tonight I'm listening to GGGCAGGG in your honor. :)
 
Bummer man. But you should totally check your mail.

Yeah, bummer. In my experiences of this nature, one of the hardest parts for me to really accept has been that being right is totally irrelevant.

That works, awesome!
 
Bummer, dude.

I also am emotionally retarded; a 26 year old 16 year old. Sometimes I observe myself behaving like a dumbass teenager and can't help but wonder why I have a serious and intelligent girlfriend. Maybe because throughout our 7 year relationship I've come to accept that she is almost always right -- in the sense that she approaches issues seriously, thoughtfully and sincerely, while I consistenly make a fool of myself. Despite that fact, she seems to know me at a much deeper level than I think she does. Everything has somehow worked out with no serious crises. In fact, our relationship improves steadily as I grow up.

Good luck.
 
Totally yeah.
 
Totally Bummer... but if you're lucky these are the kinds of events that can make a relationship that much stronger.
