Not as much as Dromeding too much, but too long:
669. You remember me.

670. You are plotting secretly to have another FM with a "Trimfect: Level Design" credit attached to it.

671. When another program throws an error message at you, you think it's Dromed.
672. You actually like building spiral stairs.
673. You're quite good at that 3 cylinders trick that allows smoother curves.

Good for you ... I still have to plan it out on a scrap of paper using squares (i.e., the simplest shape to visualize it) before I try it ... just so I get the order right. :erm:
Edit: Also, sorry, did I just see Trimfect post??? :o
That's a twilight zone moment.
@Trimfect: "Hello Benevolent Ancestor. May the Force be with you."
Just kidding. Anyway, cool that you still visit the place sometimes.
I, of course, wasn't around in the glory days unfortunately, although I was dromeding by myself from very early on.
11 posts in 9 years?? Not a very talkative Ancestor, are you?

674. You take a screenshot of DromEd, print it out, and pin it to the ceiling above your bed, so that it's the last thing you see before falling asleep at night, and the first thing you see upon waking in the morning.

Did you really do that? :wot: :weird:

Yeh I've been having fun with that too. Have you tried doing a raised pool with a circular outer then a circular inner of water and a bit above the water that is air and also circular. All three using the three cylinders trick. That took me a while to work out. :confused: :cool:

I do that as well though I usually end up confusing myself.

No. It was actually Redface who suggested it to me, but I don't think he's done it either.
I have been known to leave screenshots of DromEd as computers' desktop wallpapers, though...

The one I was thinking about with that post, that I
really had to plan out: a former housemate once asked me to make a design of his, a kind of cabin, so he could "look around". It was a perfectly circular building (about 30' diameter, 12' high; solid brush trick), with a circular courtyard (like an atrium) cut-out inside with the air brush trick; so sort of donut-like, like your pool so far except reversing air & solid.
And then there was the carved-out room inside (!), which was another circle air brush (about 10' height) just inside the outside wall leaving the roof and raised-floor, and then there was the inner wall to enclose the atrium (!!), I had to use another circular solid brush to get the wall, which I had to then cut-out again just inside to accommodate the courtyard, making sure it opened to the sky but keeping the floor level. :sweat: :joke:
I had to really plan that one out! All in all, five overlapping cylinder tricks. But I did it.
I cut-out a bunch of rectangular glass windows for the inner-wall and two doors, so you could see into and walk through the inner-atrium from anywhere in the cabin, some furniture, bed, chairs, kitchen (there were no more inner walls, you walked around or thru the atrium to the kitchen, sort of intimate and cool), some wall-artwork, a door to the outside, and finally, he wanted a spiral staircase following the curve around so you could get up on the roof and there were some chairs. It looked pretty sweet when it was done, actually.

675. In real life, you never cease to be amazed at the huge variety of different types of chairs, boxes etc.
676. You frequently scan large sections of wall, floor etc to see if the texture repetitions stand out too much.
677. You closely stare at corners to see if the texture is aligned properly.
