So I got these as an initial test run to see what the quality is like, and to be honest they're pretty sweet. Because Allegro is so cool...

If you live in the US or Canada I will send you one of these stickers FOR FREE (assuming shipping costs to you are not some crazy unrealistic amount)

I have a limited supply of 50, so maybe just one or two per person. If you want one, drop a message below and then PM to me the address where you'd like me to send it. (You don't have to send me your home address if you don't want to, you can send me your work address, PO box, aunt's house, whatever works best for you).

Naturally, it was the first sticker I put on my laptop.

Cool!

PM sent!

Ha, good ploy to get everyone's addresses! PM is sent.

Also, since you have the address now, if you are ever in the area feel free to just stop by unannounced

Send me one!

Looks cool. If there are any left in a couple weeks I'll take one

It would be way cooler if you took the next step and made it into a tattoo. xD

PM sent.

Thomas, you're gonna get some stickers if you want them or not

Do want.

Yes to one of those.

I want one

Awesome guys, I'll send those out today.

SiegeLord, send me an address!

Hmm, I wonder how feasible it would be to send these out of the country. I'll check prices when I'm at the PO today.

Yes!

YES!

YES!

Aww, nuts.

Alright, I'm like 30 minutes away from mailing off these first set of stickers.

Peter if you can send me your address, I'll try to send one to the UK.

If someone REALLY wants one that's further away, I'll chip in a couple bucks of shipping. (One person only)!

Of course, I have no idea how you actually wire someone a couple bucks.

Bitcoin! It would probably cost more in fees to wire money any other way. But it's ok, I got it covered.

I just sent out 7 envelopes today. Hopefully they'll arrive undamaged.

And actually, it's not that much more to send out envelopes internationally. So if any international people want one, drop a comment, send me an address in a PM, and I'll try to send one to you.

These look great! What inspired you to do something so altruistic?

Sadly, I have no laptop to call my own, and if I used my work laptop, somebody might tattle (understandably). Regardless, PM sent! I will think of something good to put mine on in the meantime...

Awesome! Got your PM. I'll send your sticker on my next post office trip.

I dunno. I just really felt like this sticker belonged on my laptop. Also, the job I have now is really fantastic, and it wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for this community.

Interesting... I might be jealous.

Mark, is there a possibility of shipping to France ? I would want one or two if possible !
If you're OK then PM me a paypal request or something like that, I'll send you my address.

That, or I can send you something back from France, like a comic from here or something you want.

Tell me :-)

I believe I will be able to send to France.

PM to me where you'd like me to send it and I'll get it out.

Done !

Has anybody received their stickers yet? The first deliveries should be arriving by now.

Our apartment complex has one of those big mailbox things in every block, but it has no names just numbers. And apparently USPS does not know which name is which number so they just dump stuff into random boxes - and it usually takes a while for mail to arrive, depending on which neighbor got it

I feel I should ask for a sticker, just out of rebellion against Unity with its rotten scene system, random execution order and other nasty-not-niceness. Also I work in a computer game company and might be able to get some people interested in Allegro

I'm very, very sorry for being British. Sorry again.

Cool!

It shouldn't be a problem to ship to the UK.

I'm out of town for a couple weeks. The Sticker was at the forefront of my mind at the airport. No, that is not sarcastic.

I got my sticker.

Hm.. how to insert pictures stored on google drive directly? The img tag doesn't like my google drive link.

Do you have the image file you used for the stickers, and then I can print my own out, thanks.

My memory is foggy, but I seem to remember something similar being done on The Daily WTF where readers could mail in something cultural or local and a mug or something would be mailed back. It was essentially a trade. We might offer something similar to pay Mark back for the good will. Of course, he's already pretty close to me so I'm not sure what I could send him...

Maybe I can mail him a poutine because in my experience from visiting in the past couple of years, Toronto doesn't seem to have gotten that revolution yet... If you ask for gravy on your fries, much like in Michigan, they look at you weird... At least in Michigan they oblige. I had a fancy hotel bar maiden tell me that they had no gravy and offer to put a steak sauce on the fries instead... It's not even Canada down there.

You mean Reddit Secret Santa?

I am not, nor have I ever, been anything more than an occasional lurker on Reddit. It has never appealed to me as a particularly useful means for communication, though I do derive pleasure from subsets of the occasional thread that becomes viral. I think you're the only person that I have ever knowingly encountered that is a hardcore Reddit user.

I don't really want to put it on this laptop. I imagine this laptop will decide to randomly die in the next year... again. for the third time. Motherboard has been replaced twice. *sigh*

So I'm keeping both of them pristine for a while, till I find a good place.

Niiiiicee!

I just mailed out batch number two, and this time 2 are going international - France and UK.

^ These go out to Gideon Weems, Trent G, GullRaDriel, Bruce Perry, & Derezo

YAY for you Mark ! I hope it'll travel fine !

Got mine! Thanks a ton Mark! Too bad I don't have a good laptop for this just yet...

Frick yeah! This business trip can't end soon enough.

[posted moved from other thread]

I GOT MINE!

It's the first letter I've ever received from someone from Canada! I'm kind of blown away by how happy that makes me. It really makes my day! I feel like a little kid again.

I've got a picture of the envelope... but I'm after I black out all the sensitive address information... I don't know if they'll be anything left to post.

Not sure if I should put my sticker on anything yet though. I'm (hopefully) moving soon and I don't want to attach it to something that will get damaged or thrown away.

p.s. THANKS MARK

Aren't the graphics in some wiki about Allegro mascot candidates? I might print out mine from there. Meanwhile...

That's going to be my problem.
I want to replace my laptop. It's 5 years old now but it's still a 2.6GHz i5 (first gen I think) with 8GB RAM and now it has a 512GB SSD in it... stupid thing just keeps on keepin' on.

I just upgraded my home computer CPU to an AMD FX-8370. The CPU fan can be very loud but other than that, it's been a beautiful upgrade.

I had NO IDEA that I could double my framerate by upgrading my CPU of all things.

Before, if I screen captured a game, I had to dump the frame capture rate and reduce the size (even using Open Broadcasting Software, which uses GPU acceleration for capture). Now, I can run full 1080p, with no downsampling, and still hold 60 FPS in Styx: Master of Shadows with the SAME video card.

Videocard is GTX 560 SE.

I'm planning on getting a GTX ~970 and a 4K TV soon if the "move" doesn't completely bankrupt me. I want to experiment with 4K and explore what's possible.

I'm thinking of making a shop where you could order stickers (and/or perhaps other Allegro paraphernalia) if you want replacements or whatever. Funds could go to Allegro donations.

Alternatively, scotch tape. Miranda has a hot glue gun if you need it.

Such a shop would be neat, Mark, but also probably underutilized.

My girlfriend appears to have moved my envelop. I'll be upset if it ends up in the landfill or recycling depot...

I'd say go for it. Most people don't even try. If the risks and investment are small, you really have nothing to lose. You'll have a fun little adventure to remember the rest of your days.

That being said, I'd "imagine" (but maybe I'm wrong!) that stickers would be purchasable at most "we make t-shirt" kinds of places.

I would even buy a tee shirt or a hoodie with a huge Allegator on it !

I want an Allegator coffee mug!

... me.. me too

Mine arrived today! Thank you! Err, I mean, I'm so sorry What's that - four days? Not bad

Did the best I can

I get mine Wednesday and will be fielding placement suggestions, as the laptop I use belongs to the company I work for.

The laptop I use belonged to the company I worked for, but during the redundancy process, a benevolent angel (who definitely didn't care about the company's interests) said I could keep it. I will probably put one of my stickers on it when I get around to it. You could speculatively do the same thing (though note that I only wish redundancy upon you if your circumstances are as mine were - namely that you want to leave anyway).

Or you could just do it on the basis that your company couldn't possibly object to Allegro because Allegro is the future

Yes. No. Mixed.

I have decided to put my sticker over Specter Phoenix's mouth.

I'll just eat it, the glue gives it a nice texture going down.

Annnnnnd....

I got mine today !!

So kewl, thanks Mark ! Food and shelter for you anytime you pass by here !!

I have decided to take a sticker with me to an upcoming local event. Thanks again, Mark!

I think we can guess roughly what the topic will be...

Still it'd be cool to get a picture of RMS with an Allegro sticker!

Allegro?

Installed my sticker today!!! Alex approves!

Many thanks, monsieur Oates!!! Merci beaucoup!

YAY !

I'd like a couple.

By the way, have you sent one to Peitz already?
