Open letter to the forum: By your avatar I shall know you!

[xzanfr]

Holo-me, holo-you
Ah ha!
There is nothing we can do.

I also go by avatar pics but not anymore.
Bowie singing ABBA in an Alan Partridge voice has ruined it.

 

[Some1else]

I tried many times to make an Avatar that looked like me, but every time it ended up looking like.......

I'll just show myself out now.

 

[RexKraemer]

Hopefully I can create a Holo-RexKraemer, so need to change it...

 

[TomP]

I don't usually do avatars, but if I did, it would look something like this:

 

[Alex Brentnall]

Have no fear, I shall forever be a picture of an Imperial Clipper I found somewhere on the internet or possibly took myself long ago that I don't recall!

 

[Qohen Leth]

Only outlaws would use their EVE avatar.

Spoiler

That's... Surprisingly creepy of you.

 

[Mysturji]

Coffee anyone?

IRISH!

 

[OfftheRails]

I'm sticking with Astrotrain for the time being

 

[Arry]

Yep. Maybe some of the Eve avatars will go now as this place turns into a 'who is the ugliest?' contest.

Personally, I am not impressed with the Holo-me stuff, I just can't hair colours to match my natural tones.

O.P. It is Friday and the sun has past over the yard arm, so it is Rum time, I believe.

 

[bootsam]

I change mine often. Esp on a whim. I like whims.

 

[Jason S]

I fully intend to use my Holo-me character as my forum avatar.

 

[Kaa Mchorror]

There is no Holo-cuttlefish option so no commander creator for me.

First off, here's your open letter: C

Second, I'm noticing an unsettling trend. People are using their in game avatars in the forum. What before was an eclectic mix of colourfull, strange and diverse set of people quickly is turning into a sea of mundane :|'s

When reading threads I refer to posters by their avatars. For instance, Agony Aunt is my nemesis in that regard. Now however it's in game avatar #237624. I don't know who you are, never met you, stop 1000 yard staring at me. The forum is descending into uncanny valley!

Yeah. So ....

This is important stuff this is, right?

It's not is it?

Oh very well. Never mind. Coffee anyone?

Actually a good point. It`s why when I get the non-Beta version of 2.3, I will continue using my own custom avatar and not the game`s.

I prefer tea, Earl Grey, do you have any?

 

[Kayweg]

Thanks for the offer, mug already filled up here.
Also, my forum avatar won't change....nothing expresses my view of ED quite a pointed as that GIF

Carole Hearsee is now 59. Which makes me feel pretty old.

 

[Martian Successor]

Fear not good Ziggy. My forum avatar is here to stay. It reflects my entire attitude towards the forums

 

[bootsam]

Ive changed it again. I'm mad me.

Daaaaaaaamn. that brings back some old childhood memories. I even forgot that she must be pretty old by now.

I like being in opposition.
