I would give my life to find it

I would give it all

Catch me if I fall

Also thank fuck that you elected a president that won't take us into WW3

I wonder how hard it would be to create a bot to automatically vote zero on anyone making Krinkels ripoffs, based on tags, project titles, or even visual recognition of what is just stealing sprites and not doing anything original. I would guess the answer is "not very", and the false results would be extremely minimal. That said, already being supreme commander why would i care

ps it's coming home

I was playing snooker at the now destroyed (sorry, rebuilt) Warwick Student's Union, and I hear they've put the huge screen on downstairs, which only ever happens for football matches. We all saw what happened in New York then, but I've then thought randomly just now - what music was about then? Well, it wasn't quite at number one, but System of a Down had just released Toxicity. Which features this epic track, which is incredibly pertinent right now:

Right now, science has indeed failed our world. The level of fuckwittery about coronacold is unbelievable to the point where it's perfectly reasonable for people to believe all sorts of conspiracy theory bullshit, it's only Sweden that hasn't completely lost its fucking mind and I have seriously been looking for comparable jobs to my own across in Stockholm etc to get away from my country which is rapidly descending into East Germany/North Korea levels of control. But kids, the crisis is over. Have a listen to this video:

This explains the whole Covid situation much, much clearer than anything I've seen previously - while the guy is based in Ireland, there is plenty within here which is applicable to NGers everywhere, and it should more or less put away any sorts of fears you all have about it going forward. Apart from Wade, obv, but he seems a lost cause at this stage

Never thought that would actually happen. I could have hit that 30,000 blam and protect point barrier years ago, if I'd decided to vote 2 on all the complete shite that comes into the Portal on a daily basis, but no. I choose not to do so. I come from back in the day where you actually had to put in a slight bit of effort to get something protected on the Portal, while I wasn't paying too much attention when it was only whoever got the last vote who got the blam, it's nearly that long ago. Back when if you saw something with Madness in the title, it was something to stop and pay attention to, rather than some muppet testing a two second loop. Back when you could actually create a decent game that fit onto a floppy disk. Back when there was actually such a thing as a floppy disk. Back when Cat Dynamics was still a thing.

So, what now? I'm still going to be sticking around, I'm not going anywhere. It's incredible that Newgrounds has been around for what's going on a quarter of a century now, if there's still enough people here to support the site, then I'm going to be one of them.

News post, nearly five years ago, in relation to hitting level 60

Only 13 years in the making.

With great power comes great responsibility, so here comes my manifesto of what CRAP will be BLAMMED:

- all "match 3" games. We've seen enough.
- all dress up games. We've seen enough.
- all Madness rip-offs. Come up with your own ideas. Krinkels Day is an exception, but you're not Krinkels.
- all "tests", "previews", "alphas", "betas", "demos", "works in progress" etc. Nobody gives a shit. Show us it where you've finished it, if you must show it someone, post in one of the forums after sticking the file in your dumping grounds and ask for thoughts.

And nothing much has changed, although to be fair there's not many dress up games now. That said, points three and four seem to be merged into one, with the fourth seemingly exclusively used for various hentai style games that never get a full release ever and just continue to spam Patreon and use NG for advertising to say there's a newer version elsewhere.

I do feel somewhat sorry for those that are actually trying to put out new, original material, I don't have a huge amount of time to view things nowadays, but it's got to be hard unless you kill it from day one. You can't even get a review crew pick seeing how all the eastern euro Krinkels ripoff wankers will all circlejerk their shit with fives.

But as I don't want to make a post that's completely negative, here's a GTA speedrunner getting owned by variance from about the same time I made that original post

Ten years ago, fuck my life

Funny that my forum signature still listed my Starcraft 2 user ID, when I haven't played a game since 2012. That game's dead, SC1 is now alive.

Have been looking back at stuff from the mod meat I went to nearly 10 years ago. Those were the days, that was great fun. Maybe some time soon I'll get back to the US, maybe heading to SF, watch a Raiders game... oh fuck
