Do video games exist?

In the future, the artifacts of our culture will be fragments of electricity.

Babby's First Gam

Warning: this conversation is about more than this screenshot or this game; it's just an example at this point.

Without citations or any mention of rips, most people are going to assume that the image is pixeled from scratch. You can't assume the audience will ask what the source is if they don't know that you're using a source, and you shouldn't be surprised that the people who do notice the source call you out for stealing something and passing it off as your own (regardless of your intentions).

Also, if you do have rips from dozens of games, as long as you're saying that you're using rips and you include a full list in your credits, then that seems fine. It's not like there are real rules of etiquette for this kind of thing.

Again, I don't care about using rips, but this is a pretty silly thing to get indignant about.

Babby's First Gam

Posting your sources after you post your screenshot seems like an intellectually honest way to go about it that also wouldn't denigrate the time/effort you put into this. You would just be making your process more transparent.

For the record, I don't mind that you used rips and didn't source them, I'm just suggesting a way to avoid having these same arguments.

April Update

Thanks, ya'll! I am probably going to see if I can get one or two people from the forums to help me testplay when the time comes. I'll make a post about it to gauge interest, but it'll probably be June/July so I can give myself time to get a few full playthroughs in first.

That banner made me laugh my ass off. Were you responsible for that, Lib? A+.

Happy Groundhog Day, did the groundhog see his shadow this year or not?

Happy Groundhog Day, ESBY.

Who Cna be the best kentona

I can be the best kentona. I just need to recruit a woman willing to participate in a social experiment in which we have a son and only let them watch a single 80s cartoon show so they grow up thinking that's the pinnacle of culture, and then when they start going to school they realize that we've just turned them into an anachronistic weirdo as a joke for a niche internet forum.

My vote for the show is Snorks.

on this day in history: some jewish dude moved a rock or something

Hey, how about you don't make fun of my religion.

April fools, God is dead.

I prefer to be challenged than be placated by yes-persons.


Excellent position, sir, thinking like that is why you're the guy in charge around here.

This is probably my favorite screenshot from this game so far, haha.
