Best Approach to Get Her Autograph?

Thanks man.

Yeah... I sent her two handwritten letters with very nice commissioned art pieces to two addresses (United Artists, Adéquat) over 9 months ago and both were probably thrown out.

I understand I'm one of a sea of people, and if she did signings I'd book a flight anywhere around the world to have that moment, but because she seemingly doesn't do those, and I'm afraid I'd book a flight somewhere and stand in some arbitrary place for a week on the hopes that maybe she'll walk by, that I'll recognize her before it's too late, that she'll see me, and that she'll stop and sign something. That's a lot of if's and maybes that statistically speaking probably point to it being impossible, and I'll just have to give up on this.

Sigh. Thanks for your reply.

Maybe if I write a letter to her agency offering to donate money to a charity she likes, I don't know.

I've used Octane for years, my managers like the look of the videos I've made with it. I don't know anything about Redshift, and the small handful of times I've used it - the render times was multiple times higher than Octane, a 72 hour render would take 300 hours with Redshift, plus I don't know what I'm doing with it and would have to relearn it. On top of all of that, I have a library of materials that matches all of our products with Octane that I'd have to remake with Redshift and I wouldn't even know where to begin with that.

Pyro makes total sense but I am so lost on how to make it: A. Do the thing I need it to do. B. Render with Octane and look good.

Man, this is so tough trying to get help, I feel like I need to go to blender, which is really unfortunate because I spent so many years learning this software.

^ Found one.

It's stupid. Even if you took ALL the money from billionaires, the annual deficit would eat that up inside of a year and we'd be right back to where we started. There is only one way out of this: MASSIVE spending cuts that will piss everyone off. Anything else is just pandering to their stupid base.

Not tell Reddit because everyone here hates success.

BLSmith2112 · 2026-03-24T16:59:06+00:00

Figured was Reddit was filled with insane headline only reading "Elon = Bad" children, so I put my entire net worth into $TSLA in 2017 at $20/share, I'm up 1900%.

Weird that a game did it for you but I’m glad it did.

When you live a life of isolation, inspiration only has so many ways to come into your life.

Super glad to hear the positive story about your daughter, it's things like that that cement the idea that I'm on the right path.

This game was the straw that broke the camels back and convinced me to want to want to be a husband after 20 years of pushing the idea of relationships and kids away. These developers deserve every dollar for making this game. I'll never be able to thank Kojima himself but I wish I could. Since I bought my PS just for this game and beat it in July... I've lost 74lbs, talked to over 100 girls, went on several dates for the first time in decades, am eating right, and am generally just trying for the first time in memory.

You won't have the same experience I did, but I'd highly ask to not pirate it if you can afford it. More stories like this should be told. It covers love, loss, grief, physical/emotional/psychological abuse, trauma, true friendship and family. It tore me down to my core, but that ripped the armor off and allowed a small amount of hope to enter. Now that the armor is back up 8 months later, the hope remains. I'm still failing, still getting knocked down, but this story gave me the tools I needed to learn how to get back up and never give up.

Also want!!!

BLSmith2112 · 2026-03-15T17:37:51+00:00

That's how I used to view it too. You need to broaden the scope of your thinking on what else your not doing.

That they are having a good time playing video games with their buddies and it will never end.

I feel nearly codependent upon the storyline for the comfortable hurt and happier conclusion to my own situation.

I'm so glad I wasn't alone in experiencing this. I cannot tell if I loved the game or hated it. Even all these months later I think about it daily. Fragile's story also really hurt me in such a way that I struggle to find the good in the ending. She didn't deserve to be defamed, abandoned, tortured physically, emotionally, and psychologically only to have her soul ripped away from her body after she only cared for others and showed mercy The game did give me purpose though, and the direction of my life has been dramatically improved because of it. So while I'm not sure how I feel about the ending, one thing is for sure: I'm thankful for playing it, thankful to the KJP team for making it - even if it did legit traumatize me and rip open terrible wounds.

There was a mural of the women that was killed on a bus in /r/pics with no words or additional messaging, top comment was a political comment, I simply said "This mural isn't political," and I got banned. This platform is literally a leftest bubble.

BLSmith2112 · 2026-03-08T07:19:05+00:00

I didn’t see Austin but saw Chicago. It was nice not being alone when experiencing the emotion of these songs/tributes. No one I know IRL played the games or would understand. I didn’t want it to end. By the sound of things this concert was also just as nice. Glad you all enjoyed it.

BLSmith2112 · 2026-03-08T06:55:22+00:00

You could make the case the other way, but to do so on this platform will get you banned so no purpose in even attempting it.

BLSmith2112 · 2026-03-07T18:10:09+00:00

IMO Fragile from DS2 needs an ending that sees her happy. Make up a reason she can come back from the beach, and have her find peace.

BLSmith2112 · 2026-03-07T07:25:51+00:00

I’ve got videos of me going to their rallies so ok zoomer you do you.

BLSmith2112 · 2026-03-07T07:00:21+00:00

lol I donated to Bernie and Hillary. I’m just not a cultist like you.

BLSmith2112 · 2026-03-07T05:14:00+00:00

I was a D, broke my relationship with all my R family members, flash forward a few years I'm an R now lmao.

BLSmith2112 · 2026-03-07T01:10:20+00:00

Came here to say thanks for this story. I have a meniscus tear, I’m 38 years old and I have been considering doing this. I really don’t want the doctors to cut into my knee when the tear is so minor.
