Hi, most of you know me as Suzaku from Simmania.

My username is Shadowfire, and I made an account because I'm trying to promote my Linux distro and looking for a good place to chat. My interests include gaming, programming, metal, and wrestling (UFC usually). My favorite gaming series include SimCity 4 and Call of Duty, I mostly PC game. I like mostly modern metal music but I also like older stuff sometimes. I am the head developer of Inpronix, a Linux distribution based on Debian that you can get more info on our website. You can add me on Skype at shadowfire.inpronix or Steam at shadowfire_95. Thank you for reading!

Inpronix OS is a Debian-based Linux distribution aimed at providing up-to-date packages, along with being usable for any level of open source user: beginner or even absolute Linux expert. It is not out yet but will be out soon, you can check here for updates:

Some people use their smartphone's camera (recent smartphones have rather good cameras, some of up to 13 MP) to take semi-artistic/semi-professional photos, not just pictures of friends and selfies for social networks.

Do you have a smartphone, and if you do, have you thought about using its camera as an instrument for feeding your passion for photography?

I will admit that I'm not exactly a fan of forumotion, but this forum does seem pretty interesting. It is a forum dedicated to showcasing how customizable a forumotion forum actually is through javascript and CSS edits, and surprisingly does not even use template edits.

As someone who has experience with forumotion forums, I must say that I'm pretty impressed.

Has anyone played/seen "Remember Me"? WOW, wicked cool and I consider it "next gen". You can remix people's memories to trick them into helping you and other things. Very unique and amazing graphics!

I can't seem to find any way to quickly check for new posts. Most forums have a "New Posts" link in the navbar. Help please?

I've been a member now for 10 years! Here is my profile:

I mainly do nature photography. But my camera died so it's been screenshots instead lately.

Am I allowed to post a link to my Youtube vlog channel? I've been making vlogs for quite some time. I also have a Vimeo account.

I wrote these a long time ago during a bout of depression, comment is invited:

The Hill

My life is like a giant hill and I am constantly pushing a
huge rock up it. Unless I always push and never give up, the rock
comes rolling back all the way to the bottom and if I'm not
careful it crushes me. So I always have to struggle and force
myself to keep pushing that rock all the time or risk losing what
I've accomplished. It's a really, really big rock.

Choices

I don't belong in "their" world. "They" being everyone other
than me. They live in a world of light and hope, while I dwell
in shadow and darkness. It's all I know, why change what is
comfortable, or do I hate it. Part of me must or I would have
succumb to my twisted impulses long ago.

Anger 1

Anger is the fuel which ignites my soul and burns my core.
It consumes me, engulfing my being, trying to take over, yet
never overcoming me. I struggle on day by day, the anger locked
tight below, but always lingering. Only in brief, fleeting
moments does the anger come to the surface. Fits of intense
rage, pain being dulled, feeling strong, powerful. Most often
vented in the form of breaking and smashing bottles or pieces of
wood. Then after just a short while it subsides, but the anger
always awaits inside me. Waiting for the next quick moment of
release.

Anger 2

Anger is the fire which fuels my heart and burns away at my
soul. It rages on, barely controllable, as if driving on an icy
rode. I could lose traction and go flying over the edge at any
moment.

The Cycle Repeats

So it begins again, the cycle anew. Will it ever cease.
Little changes, my world so limited, so fragile, fractured by the
tiniest pebble. How do I reinforce the infrastructure, how do I
strengthen the supports. Can they be strengthened. The answer
has to be yes. For I've come this far. Still I linger, even if
splintered and worn.

I am called zoldos. I'm 38, live my life on-line, and have been with an awesome girl since 2006. Life is good.
