Where's my badge? 📛

[Crease]

I don’t think I’d heard that one before. I kinda like the bass line. It seems like one that might be fun to learn to play. Thanks for sharing!

[peepeep]

Can’t explain well why. It’s kind of like Led Zeppelin’s Living Loving Maid. Far below their best I guess. But people who play often hear things differently.

No Top Music Critic for me.

/edit

Song named ‘Badge’ because of George Harrison’s handwriting.
Living Loving Maid is Jimmy Page’s least favorite Zeppelin song.

Fact: You can choose which of your system-granted attributes appears first in the popup profile.

Really? You must not be ancient enough

@peepeep

It’s kind of like Led Zeppelin’s Living Loving Maid to me.

I’ll have to make a note to check that one out sometime, too. It’s not ringin’ a bell.

@peepeep

But people who play often hear things differently, that’s for sure.

I should be clear: I don’t consider what I do play in the sense of perform with an instrument. For me, it’s more like tinker and have fun…with a musical instrument.

@Antonius

Really? You must not be ancient enough

Uh…I’ll take that as a compliment…? Listening to the song, the vibe was familiar to me, but I was kind of surprised that the particular song itself didn’t seem like something I’d heard before; it’s one I would’ve expected to hear, given my upbringing.

Somewhat on topic, my remix finally got enough downloads for me to earn another badge organically:

That kind of surprises me because the design is doing such a specific thing and because it’s my first (and only, so far) design that I’ve uploaded. I wonder which of the models were actually downloaded and how many of those downloads were modified for different angles….

I wonder if any of them were the Carver! (He’s my only “follower” over there as of this writing.^[1] I interpret that as a badge in and of itself.)

I did not download it, but I did save/like/bookmark it.

I might print one later. I have a spare one of these VDBv2’s that I haven’t installed yet so may use it for that eventually.

Also saved it to recommend to other people.

[peepeep]

Ever wore a real badge, pilgrim?

I noticed a while back that you had it in a collection. I didn’t download it, either. I wanted to see how long it would take for that badge to happen.

@carverofchoice

I have a spare one of these VDBv2’s that I haven’t installed yet so may use it for that eventually.

If you need a different angle and don’t want to futz with it yourself, feel free to let me know. I saw that someone else used BenKenobi’s design in a remix to achieve a lateral angle.

@carverofchoice

Also saved it to recommend to other people.

I appreciate the recommendation!

@peepeep

I’m guessing you’re not counting ID badges. I ain’t never had a tin star, if’n that’s what y’mean.

[peepeep]

You’re a good gesser, pilgrim.

[Antonius]

@Crease

tin star,

Not a tin star but I have a badge.

[ssummerlin]

Go Navy. Eight years was enough for me. Fond memories.

I had an old WWII veteran tell me “if it wasn’t for men like me, you would be goose stepping and eating rice.”

Sir, and I mean this with the utmost respect, THANK YOU.

[Crease]

Thanks, Mr. Morrison.

This is pretty cool! I like your work! Seriously!

There’s gotta be something you could do for me… … you have a generous nature, so I’d be helping you out, too, win-win!

(No, I have never worn a real badge ever, it would probably feel quite strange to me if I did. )

[Crease]

@peepeep

Thanks! Seriously! I appreciate the feedback, and I apologize for taking so long to respond. I must’ve missed the notification about this post somewhere (or maybe I’ve just had tunnel vision about my Cam v4 issue).

@peepeep

you have a generous nature

I like to think so in some sense. I do enjoy being helpful when I can.

What badge is granted when a founder asks a customer a question?

[carverofchoice]

Sorry, no question mark, so it might count as a rhetorical statement and be up for debate.
j/k

Do I get a badge for every question any founder has asked me?

[Crease]

@carverofchoice

Sorry, no question mark, so it might count as a rhetorical statement and be up for debate.

So I shouldn’t have answered? Got it!

@carverofchoice

j/k

I know. You’re fun.

@carverofchoice

Do I get a badge for every question any founder has asked me?

Yes. It should be like military decorations where you get or oak leaf cluster or similar devices for additional awards of the same achievement. Maybe there should be different colors of devices. That seems like a symbol of inquisitiveness, yes?

[carverofchoice]

@Crease

So I shouldn’t have answered? Got it!

I mean, sometimes I still answer rhetorical questions, don’t you? (Rhetorical)

Do in-person or video call questions count, or only publicly documented and referenceable ones? I mean, even CIA agents get some awards for classified things they’ve done
