| Jun 11, 2020 12:20 AM | zetaman II | Asset: Pokémon (Color Front) | The info is close, but it's the other way around. International R/B were built off of Japanese Blue, but use the version differences of Japanese R/G. |

| Jun 10, 2020 11:49 PM | tent2 | Game: Mega Man | @TheMultiMan Yeah.. I know that. Does it not look like I got the joke just because I said it in a "serious" like tone? |
| Jun 10, 2020 11:45 PM | tent2 | Asset: Mettaton Neo (Overworld) | @Minmin2099 It fits so much that it's scary. |

| Jun 10, 2020 10:32 PM * | Kendotlibero | Update: Stand against racism, hate, and police brutality - #BlackLivesMatter | Maybe it's me, then While I agree with some points of the update it still rubbed me the wrong way for some reason I'm sorry for the fuss that I've made |
| Jun 10, 2020 10:18 PM | Petie | Update: Stand against racism, hate, and police brutality - #BlackLivesMatter | I think if you take the update on its own, it's fine and works exactly as it was meant to. Beyond telling racists to leave, which I think is completely reasonable, it's not even directly addressing anyone. The comments are another story unfortunately but I think the body of the update stands well enough if you ignore them. As for damage control, see my original point. I don't blame the staff for emotional responses in the face of personal attacks nor do I blame them for losing their cool a bit when they feel so strongly about a particular subject and feel like they are being disrespected or in this case especially, that a serious topic is being disrespected as a whole so while I stand by the point that in general, I would prefer a more professional approach from staff, I don't think it's unjustified here, even if it is fanning the flames a bit. |
| Jun 10, 2020 10:12 PM | Kendotlibero | Update: Stand against racism, hate, and police brutality - #BlackLivesMatter | > I'm sure part of your argument is that the staff should have been more professional in their dealings and under normal circumstances, you'd probably be right but when personal attacks and racist drivel are being posted, professionalism tends to take a back seat to emotion so I'm not faulting anyone for their responses. Can't complain about that, I split up here lots of times and we are not robots My problem is that this update doesn't really seem like a BLM endorsement and more like a "you are all sinners" kind of thing. This thing just adds fuel to the fire according to me and doesn't really attract civil discourse I agree with you that starting banning and limiting comments would make this worse In part I get you guys, I would have snapped too, but a bit of damage control wouldn't hurt |
| Jun 10, 2020 10:09 PM | 935935935 | Asset: Silver | Great. Finally we had a expansion. |
| Jun 10, 2020 9:33 PM | Petie | Update: Stand against racism, hate, and police brutality - #BlackLivesMatter | I was very much done with these comments as arguing really doesn't accomplish anything. I said what I needed to in the update itself, had a pretty civil discussion shortly after it was posted, and then figured that the only right move was to wait it out as no matter what was said or done from there, someone was going to complain. I definitely could have banned people, disabled commenting for some or all, or started flinging the same insults right back but in the end, what would that have actually accomplished? The way I looked at it, people are entitled to their opinions regardless of whether or not I agree with them so unless something was outright racist, I pretty much haven't deleted anything. Maybe some of you think more should have been done to keep these comments clean but the reality is, it would have just resulted in people complaining more about being silenced or censored or about how we only allow what we believe to be displayed (which, I'd add, we would have been perfectly entitled to do since the right to free speech does not apply to private platforms but I don't agree with barring opposing opinions so I've let most comments stay up). But wow, this last dozen or so comments have been something else and with personal attacks now being thrown about, I guess it's time to respond. @-Q- You're preaching about introspection for others but maybe you should focus on yourself. You ended a message with "from all of us decent human beings" that you began by calling the site a cesspool and the staff "smug cunthairs" and then go on to personally attack me so I'm not sure you qualify to speak for decent humans. To make matters worse though, I had basically forgotten you even existed and really had to dig to find the source of your anger and unbelievably, it's because you complained that submissions were taking a long time to be approved and I suggested adding icons and then called you out when you said the staff should just take care of it themselves. I re-read that thread multiple times before responding here and I really just don't get it. How exactly does that interaction make me hypocritical or indicate double-standards in any way? Or, if you're not referring to the thread but something going on in this update or the comments, I'd love to see how I've been at all hypocritical or applied double-standards at any point during the mess that is this comment section. That much hatred from what basically amounted to me answering your question and then explaining why your assumption about how submissions work is so mind-numbingly absurd that I don't even know what else can be said about it. For anyone wanting to form their own opinion, click here to see the thread in question. And on one final note, for someone complaining about hypocrisy, I do find it interesting that you claim to hate this place so much that you abandoned it for another site only to come back and continue to complain. I haven't followed your work on SDB but if it's working out for you over there, good for you. I'm glad you found someplace that can live up to your incredibly high expectations for how strangers on the internet should devote their free time. @Kendotlibero Lack of moderation is a very broad statement and while I think my above point regarding censorship and free speech pretty much sums up my counterpoint to your argument, I'd like to hear exactly what you think should have been done. I'm sure part of your argument is that the staff should have been more professional in their dealings and under normal circumstances, you'd probably be right but when personal attacks and racist drivel are being posted, professionalism tends to take a back seat to emotion so I'm not faulting anyone for their responses. |
| Jun 10, 2020 9:30 PM | -Q- | Update: Stand against racism, hate, and police brutality - #BlackLivesMatter | @Garamonde: I'm trying to care....but, it's just not coming up. |
| Jun 10, 2020 9:16 PM | miyabi95_ | Update: Stand against racism, hate, and police brutality - #BlackLivesMatter | I used to be the "stop talking about political drama" type. Eventually I grew beyond that mindset and learned what it means to be a community and the importance of social justice as a whole, and how discussing these topics that involve basic human rights are a valid form of a communication that should never be swiped away and dismissed as "drama," especially when groups of people are being horribly discriminated against. To those of you nay-saying the staff: y'all will learn that soon enough. Welcome to the internet. |
| Jun 10, 2020 9:15 PM | dald22 | Game: Pizza Tower | welp i had no idea the noise was being riped but thats ok |
| Jun 10, 2020 9:12 PM | SpritZ | Asset: WALL·E (Super Mario Bros 3. NES-Style) | This is so cute!! Great job. ? |
| Jun 10, 2020 9:10 PM | SpritZ | Update: Stand against racism, hate, and police brutality - #BlackLivesMatter | Ah, yes. Continuing to respond to people instead of ignoring them, that will calm the fire. Don't mind me, I'm just going to sit back and watch the drama unfold further as I question this community as a whole. ( ͡• ͜ʖ ͡• ) |
| Jun 10, 2020 8:35 PM | Garamonde | Update: Stand against racism, hate, and police brutality - #BlackLivesMatter | -Q-, we'd love to take you seriously, but the more you throw childish insults and flames at us staff, the more we cannot manage to do that. "Go fuck yourselves and die in a fart"? Really? You sound like a 12-year-old. Sorry, but your attitude is not helping the "points" you're trying to make at all. To everyone else here who actually has some sense and have supported the cause that actually matters, thank you and we are very sorry you have to read these types of things from our other users who think they're all that. |
| Jun 10, 2020 8:29 PM | Ton | Update: Stand against racism, hate, and police brutality - #BlackLivesMatter | There are a lot of broad statements being made here about the mods and the userbase here, but the facts are these: 1. This is an important subject, and we felt the need to tell the world that we are firmly on this side of the argument. It's vital for everyone to do this, from large corporations, to niche websites that deal in pixel art. People deserve to know that they have support in difficult times. 2. On the whole, we respect and appreciate our userbase. 3. Gaming is, unfortunately, a hotbed of racism and misogyny. That, in particular, means it's important to make our stance crystal clear to this particular audience. 4. If you are arguing on behalf of racism or misogyny, you are not welcome here. That's it. If our anger has turned you off of the site, I apologize. That's not our intent. But please appreciate that some things in this world are worth getting angry about. To let those commenting in bad faith spout their nonsense unchallenged would be a disservice to those we support. |
| Jun 10, 2020 8:20 PM | Kendotlibero | Update: Stand against racism, hate, and police brutality - #BlackLivesMatter | >Never said the site needs to go. Just the forums and the comments Dramas can be solved if we talk about it If we continue to strip down ways to communicate we will only get more bitter about it |
| Jun 10, 2020 8:19 PM | DogToon64 | Asset: Peppino | Hey, Peppino's finally here! |
| Jun 10, 2020 8:12 PM | Kendotlibero | Update: Stand against racism, hate, and police brutality - #BlackLivesMatter | Please don't take it the wrong way guys, it would hurt me too a post like that I just want the best for this community, and I don't want it to go to waste for the little that it remains I met a lot of awesome people here, and I know the mods didn't do it out of malice |
| Jun 10, 2020 8:08 PM | Ton | Update: Stand against racism, hate, and police brutality - #BlackLivesMatter | "That's....true. It's why I jumped ship to SDB." |
| Jun 10, 2020 8:05 PM | Paraemon | Asset: Badniks (Launch Base Zone) | Better than none. |
| Jun 10, 2020 7:58 PM | -Q- | Update: Stand against racism, hate, and police brutality - #BlackLivesMatter | "The reason that we got here is not because "we can't have a good discourse", but because the moderation here is frankly atrocious" That's....true. It's why I jumped ship to SDB. "Also do you really want to put down one of the best resources for videogame media just for a couple of dramas?" Never said the site needs to go. Just the forums and the comments. Site and submissions still function fine without them. |
| Jun 10, 2020 7:53 PM | Sid Starkiller | Asset: Badniks (Launch Base Zone) | IIRC there's only one "punching" Ribot in the entire Zone. |
| Jun 10, 2020 7:51 PM | Kendotlibero | Update: Stand against racism, hate, and police brutality - #BlackLivesMatter | >Why would you keep it up if it always devolves into a collective struggle to accrue a double-digit IQ? We got in this situation 3 times: after the two male gaze threads and now The reason that we got here is not because "we can't have a good discourse", but because the moderation here is frankly atrocious I am friends with a lot of you mods but I gotta be honest rn, you didn't moderate anything, you only put more fuel to the fire I'm not saying the problem is BLM, their points are very agreeable and tons of content creators with million of followers posted about it with minimal drama But not here, because you manage to be so... Insufferable and smug about it In an update about equality Also do you really want to put down one of the best resources for videogame media just for a couple of dramas? |
| Jun 10, 2020 7:47 PM | Ton | Asset: Axem Rangers (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga-Style) | @Omega It's a brave new world! |
| Jun 10, 2020 7:45 PM | Omega | Asset: Axem Rangers (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga-Style) | it's just not the same without your green give credit signature and Tonberry |
| Jun 10, 2020 7:40 PM | Geoshi | Game: Paper Mario | Alright, everyone, I fixed the Puff errors with their names and sections and playable Peach is now in the right section along with the NPC Peach's being in the corresponding section it belongs. I'm surprised no one fixed it until I did in this decade. |
| Jun 10, 2020 7:38 PM | -Q- | Update: Stand against racism, hate, and police brutality - #BlackLivesMatter | "What will it solve? We already closed some forums in 2014 and the community never improved" Then you fucking close down everything. Why would you keep it up if it always devolves into a collective struggle to accrue a double-digit IQ? |
| Jun 10, 2020 7:35 PM * | Kendotlibero | Update: Stand against racism, hate, and police brutality - #BlackLivesMatter | >considering closing down the comments and forums? Like....forever? What will it solve? We already closed spamhaul in 2014 and the community never improved from that point, the opposite I think part of the drama is from how the message is written: is it me or it reads like an anime villain speech? |
