I just came up with a couple of clichés that keep popping up in every thread and had an idea.

For example there is the Critics Lounge where people tend to advice you to 1)adjust shading, 2)adjust perspective and 3)do more realistic

In Beginners Questions people then would 4)advice you to check the manual, which is the only right way. But hey! This is not supposed to be a hostile thread, rather one where people gater most used phrases

If you find (or use) any, please put them here so we can all laugh about it whilst we realize all of our chatter is but clichés and used sayings. Heh, I'm trying to be funny here too...

btw, that's 4 already... Didn't find likes of this anywhere...

For example there is the Critics Lounge where people tend to advice you to 1)adjust shading, 2)adjust perspective

Shading and perspective are part of drawing. These are often used as comments because the artwork would often benefit from them. Realism is only mentioned when the artist has  not chosen a cartoony style.

In Beginners Questions people then would 4)advice you to check the manual

Because the manual often holds the answer to their question, and getting them to look it up for themselves means they are more likely to do that next time they have a problem. Encouraging better programming habits and the like.

Amnesia in games is a cliché.
Mad scientist destroys world- cliché.

Breathing oxygen (for example) is not a cliché, and neither is checking the manual before using something.

Do you think that just because something happens a lot becomes clichéd? Is Kemotherapy clichéd?

Tuomas, great avatar! That's a great album

Mr Fibble, no need to make this into the argument it never intended to be, this is just for fun.
And he's right, some comments are given by way of mere routine.

[Mr Flibble]

Oh I wasn't trying to start an argument, I was just pointing something out.
Apologies.

[Tuomas]

Yes, the best record in the world, though not the best band.

He said it, FUN. And yes too, some are given by way of routine. But let's not focus on that but rather to what is most commonly commented in these forums, as that was the original meaning. I appologise for using the wrong word cliché! well then, we have 6, is it... Fibble, I knew that already, but this conversation was good to have now so everyone would understand, right? So that is why I point out the Not a hostile thread part now. ok, no harm done, eh?

[Andail]

Sorry, just had to comment that your signature is also a good song from another great band!
Darn, I can't seem to keep this thread on its track, can I?

[Tuomas]

Oh you mean the Cream song! a great song too. (otherwise wouldn't be there). Both are... but then, what was the subject again?

[Mr Flibble]

Sounds like one for the Beginner's FAQ if you ask me.

Either that, or "Can we get it back on topic guys?"

[AlbinoPanther]

[Andail]

Indeed, only moderators are supposed to act like moderators.

Reading this thread through again made me understand that nothing here means anything
