I hadn’t heard of it until everyone on my Twitter feed suddenly went into mass orgasm about it a few days ago. I’ll certainly give it a go.

That ‘making-of’ gif is great. It really shows your thought processes.

Hank, did this payment between Mr Green and Madame Sky happen recently? Nod once if you saw it happen tonight, twice for within the last few weeks or shake your head if longer ago than that.

Hank, are you saying that you saw Madame Sky paying Mr Green? Or are you trying to tell us something else? Nod for yes, you saw payment, or shake your head for something else.

I never cared much for Disney anyway but I agree it’s rather pointless to remake all their old back-catalogue in live action. I guess they don’t have to pay any writers.
One Disney film I did like was Aladdin. I know they’re remaking that, too. I’ll definitely be interested to see how they do it but I won’t be rushing out to watch it on the first night.

For me the word limit is arbitrary. Whether it’s 80 or 100 or 50, you would always wish a few more words to really explain your idea.

Found Footage was not mine.
None of them are mine as I didn’t enter.
I’ll give it another day or two before revealing the who’s who.

27 here. I think a few of those questions, especially in the middle section, were pretty ambiguous. Like I could make logical justifications for two or even three possible answers.
I’m interested to know what you all got for this one:
1, 0, -1, 0 ...
That could have been anything.

General Discussion / Re: Where`s m0ds?
« on: 10 Oct 2018, 23:44 »Dude, you *scammed* this community out of a couple of grand to make a game *years ago* that you didn't. How can you possibly expect to have any good will left?
If you’re talking about the Kinky Island, it should be pointed out that Mark has recently repaid the money back to Indiegogo backers, which was beyond my expectation. A lot of crowdfunded projects never come to fruition and the backers never see that money again. So to be given that money back without asking for it, and be told that I’d still get a copy of Kinky Island if/when it’s ever completed, AND be told I should put that money towards backing another more deserving project doesn’t make me feel like I’ve been scammed.
I don’t know about the AdventureX stuff so I won’t comment except to say it would be nice to hear another side of the story.
I didn’t enjoy being called an NPC, though. Some of us just have other things to do and we don’t have time to be fully engaged pillars of the community. I try doing my bit when I can but often (especially lately) real life take precedence over a blue page on the Internet. I do look up to the moderators and the admins who are able to find the time to keep on top of this stuff while also having kids and jobs and presumably some other interests and housework and shopping to do.

Even if I missed the intent behind your last few posts, I’m sure you knew they were going to rub people up the wrong way. I know a joke’s a joke; I’m not averse to some rather tasteless humour myself. I just don’t think this particular thread is the place for it.

Jack. You’re entitled to your opinion, man. But the thread is called “World Suicide Prevention Day”. What use is that opinion here? I’m pretty sure you posted that especially to get a reaction.
