Bye bye Rui. Thanks for your work with game archives and the like. More than once you've mirrored games I was too lazy to keep up myself, and that was nice of you. Usually your posts made sense too. Long days and pleasant nights yourself.

Helm comments on his dad's piece from dad's exhibition. Dad is pleased his son likes his stuff. Little does he know that deep inside Helm plots to destroy him. Random person in the back dies of cardiac arrest shortly thereafter

uh huh huh sex I fuck goats

why, back in my day...

Yes granny you did...

Get my joke.

why, back in my day we drew 1bit pixel art by manually flicking off and on 320x200 switches...

but you really set yourself up for these things. When you said 'everybody that doesn't like this maybe is jealous' I thought "I don't like this therefore I am jealous?". Your generalization, what can I do?

I enjoy and do art that's made with what many feel are obsolete tools, because they reenforce the computer art aesthetic aspect. The squares of pixels, the accentuation of limited, unified palettes, odd colour choice, every colour everywhere, dithering, tiles and repetition of themes, things that are very tied in my head with what computer and video game art is like. Just using ms paint sloppily and then going 'I'm awesome!' isn't enough, personally.

You're free to like it as much as you want, Kinoko. I don't think it's justified to call other people who don't jealous, though. I read that kind of comments a lot of pixeljoint, which is a service used by a lot of people who have no idea about pixel art. Somebody posts a photo job and everybody goes 'OMG BEST PIXEL ART EVER' and if you say anything to crit it they just go 'oh shut up, do better yourself'. Regardless of that I have done better, that really really doesn't make any sense. And if you really want to know, people with no appreciation of the history of the medium (pixel art) that praise second-rate art because they haven't seen the first-rate aren't something I like to see. The demoscene produced amazing artwork to be remembered. This person sat there and did very tiring work, but bland work, on mspaint for years. Good for him. I'll go with people who are both workhorses and also amazingly talented, personally.

Kinoko, your heart of hearts is wrong. Why don't you go to www.gfxzone.org and browse the 8-bit galleries to see what can be done with pixels? There's a history to this medium, and checking it out before saying other people that know it are jealous might provide some perspective, yes?

This is very patient work. But it's very sloppy, pixel-technique wise.

In fact let me save you the trouble:

Heh, that's the benefit of being an ex-ice hockey goalkeeper... Being able to give blow jobs to yourself... though I don't do that very much, it's kind off odd, and my back starts hurting nowadays... But I should try that pineapple juice thing sometime Eh, don't take me too seriously here

Please, take your fantasies elsewhere!

I'm sure a personal ad in the Brighton Times will help you to fulfill them.

I am also indeed still interested. Hope you make it this time around.

What sidescroller? Play Peughburg.

Your last few posts have been clean enough.

Learn to type/spell. If that's too much of an insurmountable effort for you to make, use a spell-checker. I think learning how to spell is going to be beneficial for you in many ways, regardless of this forum. Your jokes are bad, but you're neither the first nor the last in that respect. If you have opinions though, and would like other people to consider them, presenting them coherently is a good idea.

friends don't let friends use Paint. Graphics Gale, at least. I know it's an investment of time and resources to sit down and learn a new program, but paint is very basic and WILL limit your art even when you feel confident you can move on

sensory overload! sensory overload!

This dude is cool as hell.

ooh zoot, burned!

That's an insightful comment.

Why can't both apply

I'm sure they both apply for a lot of people. But bombs still fly off, while cigarettes have been delt with. Do you believe now that the smoking ban is in effect, these wonderful people will move on to the slight bombing problem, or do you believe that the smoking thing, along with a host of other trivialities act as a smokescreen (no pun intended) for more important issues that may partain to bombs, dead children, politics and money?

You're not understanding me. When someone cares so much about the sanctity of life and not harming others that they obsess and encourage LEGISLATION that bans public smoking, seriously not the biggest of problems in our chemical society, while at the same time is ok with the second-hand smoke that craters from children-killing bombs emit, then something's wrong! Wee!
