Player hater of the year?

...get offended by polite constructive criticism to the point they try to suppress it, and that isn't right.

Not naming names.

Yeah, criticism requires a mature outlook, and, unfortunately, not everyone is truly ready to give or to receive criticism. One does need to grow into it, and be ready for it. Which is why in the early days we made the rule that if someone does not wish to receive any criticism, only encouragements, they should say so in the original post, and people should respectfully oblige.

When you're starting out and don't have much confidence in what you're doing, criticism can be really hard on you, especially if it's true and harsh. To go all-out critical on a person who's starting out with brutal honesty and advanced expectations I deem elitist, and a form of cyber-bullying and abuse. Beginners should be given more encouragement than harsh criticism, as a general rule.

What happened?

Went through blender's help file, dunno how to do anything still.

Is it worth mentioning that I was in Special ED through-out my schooling days? Special SPECIAL ED?

To DO things, you watch tutorials. To UNDERSTAND how things work you read the help files. It gets even worse when you CREATE work from scratch: you need artistic skills!

As I said, watched the tutorials, still dunno how to do anything.

Exactly. Do you think that'd take a long time to make?

The baton? In theory, not really. would it be practical or authentic? That remains to be seen.

I mean, if they were to grind it down to the actual movie standards. Do you think it'd take long? I guess I depend on who does it, tbh.

I'm literally a state away from there. I'll check that place out next time I'm in Jersey.
