Roughly ten years ago, my grandmother stopped talking to me. I can't say it's my biggest interest in caring about it, however.
I got something from her when I turned 18, which is 3 years ago. I don't recall what the hell it was, to be honest, and it's not my biggest interest in finding out what the hell it was either.
Now, 3 years later, she sent me a message on Facebook (by the way, I'm rarely there to the point I tend to forget I even have a Facebook). What'd it say?
"Grandma misses you. Hugs from grandma."
I was like "...Are you freaking kidding me?"
I replied with "Okay, who are you two then?" (She used her husbands account for some reason).
I got as a reply "Don't you know who your own grandma is? You used to come here and bake when you lived in Arboga (a city I used to live in). Hugs grandma."
I honestly can't say I care even a little about that. I don't want to talk to that woman ever again. She's lied to me and about me, as well as talking shit about me and to me. I have no interest in finding out her ever again. Call me cold if you so please, it's not really my biggest interest in caring too much about it.

Why I dislike "famous" Fire Emblem hackers.
Never played Fire Emblem? Get out of this one, as it's got nothing to do with you in that case.
If you have? Continue reading.
If you're a famous Fire Emblem hacker and feels insulted, well, tough luck, I really don't care about that anyway.
Anyway, the reason I hate them is many, so let's begin from the start, shall we?
First of all, it's the fact that they'll bash others that's not as good as them. This means that if you're not a complete freaking professional, you should just go straight down to Hell in their eyes. Which makes little-no sense whatsoever.
So, going by that logic, you must teach yourself (I'm self-taught as well, I'll admit) but you have to get pro in order to get help with anything? ...Where's the logic in that?
I, personally, help a lot of people out that needs help with basic hacking of Fire Emblem. Whereas so called "pros" ignores those who needs help, because "it takes too long to type out what to do". And because that means you'd have to actually CARE about other people. And we can't have that. TOTALLY.NOT.
When I first started hacking Fire Emblem for fun, I was bored and had no idea how it worked. It was through trial and error (and about 50 ruined games...) I understood the basics, which I now teach out to other people.
Whereas those so called pros, they don't teach ANYONE the basics. Instead, they make a forum about how to hack. Problem is, you need to register in order go get taught. Meaning? If you don't, you're unable to read posts. Or do anything, literally. Also, if you don't post for about 1 month, thus being a "ghost member", you're automatically banned.
That's essentially the same as saying "If you don't register you're not worthy of our help" in my eyes. Assholes.
Also, if you learn something that others don't know how to do (example, hack maps), you must post this on the forum. Otherwise, you're a cheapskate and doesn't share your knowledge. But that's how THOSE assholes does as well. Freaking idiots.
I used to work on an official hack called Kain FireEmblem (as my username on Youtube is "Kainmaster", I'm commonly just referred to as "Kain") and I needed some help with portraits and battle sprites (as I suck at both). Same goes for making some custom maps. I talked with an idiot over Skype who claimed he was gonna help me out. And this happened.
This conversation was about me trying to hack a map.
Me: This won't work.
He: Yes it will.
Me: No, I assure you it won't.
He: Yes it does.
Me: No, really, it won't.
He: Yeah it does.
Me: *Sigh*
I did as he told me to do, which was open a file.
Me: The file doesn't exist.
He: WTF yeah it does.
Me: No, it doesn't.
He: WTF?
Me: Can you send me it?
He: Nope.
Me: Why?
He: Busy.
Me: ...
In other words, he was TOO busy to send me a file, but he WASN'T busy enough to explain how NOT TO hack a map? Okay, flawed logic in my eyes...
Some time later, I needed help with portraits/battle sprites. This convo happened.
Me: So, how do I do it?
He: You need this program.
Me: The program won't work.
He: Yeah it does.
Me: No, really, it won't.
He: WTF YES IT DOES.
Me: No, no it doesn't. It won't load.
He: WTF did you open [file name]?
Me: Yes. And that file doesn't work.
He: WTF yeah it does.
Me (thinking): ...Whatever.
I then needed help with portraits. He whined about mine being recolors. Which, ironically enough, is how HE started out too... Freaking idiot.
However, if they weren't new, they weren't awesome. ...Idiot.
Some time later, I posted a teaser trailer for the final chapter of my hack, which involved 2 characters running around killing all enemies/bosses. He was like "OMFG BAD SPRITES". I told him the program he recommended didn't work. "Well, it's not like you HAVE to use that program..."
...I'm not kidding. He said that. I was by no means happy.
The next problem I have is "cannon" pairings. For example, MageKnight404's Fire Emblem hack. What's wrong with that? Well...
-It was a Fire Emblem 7 hack
-One of the characters dies and is resurrected post-game.
-Even if you had no ending for Eliwood (one of the Lords) or with another character, the resurrected was the one he'd end up with. ...What the hell? I had NO character in his ending, and yet he SOMEHOW ended up with that one. I'm not kidding. That's just plain idiotic, not everyone LIKES that pairing, something you must take into account when making a game or hack.
Here's a small way to know how good/bad FE hacker you are, according to ME.
No knowledge = No hacker.
Can change enemies/growths (either of the two) = Newbie.
Can change enemies/growths/classes (2 of the 3 must be in effect) = Rookie
Can change enemies/growths/classes/items (3 of the 4 must be in effect) = Skilled
Can change enemies/growths/classes/items/animation (all 5 must be in effect) = Highly skilled.
Can change text = Very skilled
Can make custom portraits/animations = Ridiculously skilled. (Note: Even if they're just re-colors, you're still on this level)
Can make everything above+can make custom maps and stuff = Wow, you got nothing better to do, huh? (If you're here, you're on the same level as me).
According to pros (note that I use a program called Nightmare), if you're anything below the best one, you're not a FE hacker. Also, using Nightmare is NOT a hack, it's not considered a mod. Which makes little-no sense to me. Seriously, what the hell?
When 99% (or more!) of Fire Emblem players started hacking FE, it was, without exception, using Nightmare. Why? Because it's a simple to use program.
Now, "pros" says that they never used Nightmare even when starting out and claims that's just modding the game, thus not hacking it at all. I was on the verge of punching someone (or something) when I read this.
No matter what "pros" says, if you consider yourself good, you ARE good. There is no exception to this rule. If you need some basic knowledge (I'll tell you up to "Skilled", everything above that, you're on your own for) feel free to contact me, though (note that I still use Nightmare if I ever bother with making FE hacks).
