OK, so insults are degrading, and advice is useful. What I meant was that if you degrade something that's bad, then that's useful.

o.o No... What's useful is the advice related to the game, not the fact that your being a dick about it and insulting the person. If your degrading something your still being a dick no matter if the content was good or bad. There is ALWAYS a way to put advice in a positive way that will not only fix the problem at hand but leave the developer feeling good about themselves. If you can't understand that after my last post then there's no getting through to you. Whatever.

Calling the person a dumbass doesn't help though. The problem is with the product, not the person. So yeah, that's just pointlessly rude.

So if someone makes a terrible game, with maps that are just awful, character dialogue that makes no sense, and battles against beginning monsters with 10,000 HP...it's not the person's fault?

No.

The problem is with the person, and the fact that they have a terrible sense of design and have no idea to make a good product with the program they have. When you make everything in the game, the game then becomes an extension of your mind and ideas. It is you. Making fun on someone's game is making fun of them.

Right. Which is why you don't make fun of the game, you attempt to lead the creators toward better design and ideas through helpful advice. Or, to put it another way, mock a man for fishing badly and annoy him- teach him how to fish properly and feed him for a lifetime.

I'm sure there are ways to display screenshots without causing problems, such as a screenshot thread or integrating them into the blog.

Sorry about complaining that the digital nature of the world should be a surprise- you said quite clearly that the people were quite aware of it at the beginning. I'm gonna try the demo again. Let me know if you need anything.

I hope you don't mind if I do a little proofreading along the way . . . for example, I'm guessing you meant the monks should consecrate their partners, as a coronation is the crowning of a king or queen.

BTW, , would you mind if I worked with the bits of "20,000 Leagues under Nevada"? I think I could take what you have and spin it into a couple of "novel excerpts" for possible insertion into the game . . .

WTF?

*Wonders how the game would play out with gijinkas*

OK, I will for now but I hope there wasn'tt any nifty item there!. Just to warn everyone else, it's the first door you come to on the lower floor of Firam castle.
