    Dissociation

    Looking at gmlscripts.com following a suggestion from Leif902 brought something back into my mind. Dissociation. Dissociation: describes the disconnection or lack of connection between things usually associated with each other.

    It’s happened…

    One and half months into GameMaker Blog and it looks like it has finally happened.  I knew it probably would, it was just a matter of when. Someone has taken offence to my comments.
