RATTY524'S PROFILE

I thought that you died (or at least disappeared into the Void).

Hmmm…I’ve never heard of this game before. I wonder what it is? *checks it out*

This game is very well known in Japan for how bad it is. It's even known by the Japanese as "Densetsu no Kusoge" (伝説のクソゲー), which translates to "Legendary Shitty Game", meaning the game is even worse than other Kusoge games.

…Oh god. Why would you even torture yourself like that!? (Then again, you did make that crappy Chrono Trigger joke game from years ago. Maybe this is you having to pay penance for that, lol.)

Either way, it's good to you see back.

Wouldn't really say I'm back but uhh yep I basically created a foul beast that was important in the sense that I learned a lot about player behavior from. The stream didn't happen unfortunately so I'm just going to do an LP of it.

I'm surprised engines like this still get used, never mind how crazy it is that someone just created a new one. I mean, Mario Maker 2 is coming out in a month. And if you don't like Mario Maker because the gameplay doesn't feel authentic, or because it costs money, then you would make a romhack - the romhacking tools for Mario 3 and Mario World are awesome.

Yeah but most romhacking tools aren't as particularly user-friendly or as flexible as custom-made engines. Like, especially for contests the differences in overall turnout really show in favor of custom, user-friendly engines versus romhack ones.

So people on Mario Fangames Galaxy are hosting an SMB3-styled level design contest, and it uses a custom-made engine made to emulate SMB3 physics:

So, I'm the only one keeping you from here?

I win!

I'm glad you are admitting you are an insufferable idiot, let alone an active contributor to everything that could possibly be wrong with this community. I appreciate your honesty.

Keep in mind, one person (who was new at the time) trying to restructure the entirety of a community isn't some guarantee that it'll happen. Did she deserve what happened? Fuck no. But to act like RMN is at fault for not acting on the advice of one short-term member is absurd, frankly.

People are bawking at you because you took the time to make a status which basically just says you don't like the place. It's not taking action, it's not helping, it's barely doing anything but making you a target and forcing people to feel bad for keeping you away even if it isn't their fault at all.

I mean, besides that, telling people they're missing the point isn't gonna help either. I think you know that- you've seen the drama, you've seen the fights, so don't try to start one by prickling people about it, or you're just contributing to the issue you want resolved. You can't resolve it by simply coming around to say "I'm still not here".

I dunno. The recent drama in the mascot thread had a quick resolution, which to me is pretty new for RMN. The mods did stuff, the people involved did stuff. It was an improvement. I don't feel great about taking an isolated example and playing off the whole site over it.

I guess this is fair overall, but like, at a minimum, I would have liked to see it considered? Nevermind that the assertion that not acting on a "short-term" member's advise is reasonable (why do you think she was short-term to begin with? And idk about you guys but if I was running a site, and a new member was left with an awful impression of it, I would at least consider that something needs to change about this place), what steps has this site taken to improve its community atmosphere? What even got you to come back as a regular member here again?

IF and I were dicks in the mascot thread a few days ago. But we got scolded for it, and then AFAIK the subject was dropped, so that's basically business as usual for all the fora I've ever been to. Actually, better than usual, because it didn't turn into a pages-long derail. :V

Also FTR I apologized in PM because being a dick is a shitty thing to do vOv

Wow you actually got the context of this status and it's honestly big of you to actually admit your mistake and apologize. I hope IF did the same thing.

Also, for the rest of you, it's pretty wild how the first take away from this vent-status you all get is "I'm leaving because I'm better than all y'all pleebs" and not "I'm not confident that this is a safe or healthy environment for me or my friends when one of the first threads I see coming back already has the same kind of belittling drama I've witnessed years ago with this site and I am personally exhausted with community environments like that."

Like, I honestly want to like this community? There is still a bit of nostalgia that has me taking a peek once every few months? (That and I recently reset my hard drive and most of my old projects were erased, so I came back recently to try to re-download them once I even remember they exist with my scatter-brained ass)I just don't want to put up with the rotten baggage again.

And Unity, I'm pretty much reminded of when wetmattos gave her excellent suggestions on how to restructure how this community a while back and idk I haven't seen a whole lot of evidence that it was put into action? I'm sorry if I sound like this difficult grump but I just feel like I and a few others have already given our thoughts on the matter, I just want to see how it was ever implemented.
