you hate to say it?
not that I really take offense but I highly doubt that. Ive noticed all graphical related images Ive made you have jumped in and made negative remarks about. (check my posts if you dont believe me)
Im quite certain youve been doing it solely because 'takam is the greatest spriter ever' and you'd prefer not to agree.
if thats the case, and Im certain it is - shut the funk up.
OK, first thing - I obsessively check the "Graphic Arts" boards, because I appreciate it when people comment on my own work and so I try to do it for others as well. I do realize that this isn't a problem for you though.
That's why I've jumped into all your posts. As for negative comments, the reason is that while I really admire you as a spriter and tiler (or tile-maker or whatever people call it), we like very different styles of sprites. Many of your original styles are very unique, and I like that, even if I don't like the smilies themselves. Also, I have had negative experiences with your reputation - that people ignore sprites by lesser-known or lesser-respected people (like me - I can't deny I'm self-centered) in favor of yours. Even so, I would never consciously bias my opinion because of that. It's just that I disregard all other factors and just judge the sprite for the sprite. Meaning that I often break the mold when I criticize a work of yours. Please, don't consider me as being biased, I try my hardest not to be, seriously. Oh, and I only said that I "hate to say it" because I don't want to offend. I said it to dispel the impression that you're already getting - that I'm giving negative feedback just for the sake of giving negative feedback. Which I'm not.

Dude, I truly understand and support your point of view, but jeez. You got to chill the hell out about that kinda things. Many guys here are prejudiced about things, especially about you, but that doesn't mean you have to be too.
As for Kame, I believe that he TRULY doesn't like them... he didn't say he hates them, it's just that they're not his cup of tea. Matter of taste, really.
You don't need to make enemies and haters where you don't actually need, right?
As for me, I like that they're simple and yet look clean, and I'm sure I'd consider using them, once they're up. Good job.
Thanks, Fox.
I think you just recovered from your drop on my cool-guy ladder that came from your "dis her ma dowg" comment.
j/k, lol. It's all a joke.
no fox, kame is a jerk. Im not an idiot.
seriously, check my 'stop' topic, for some bizarre reason he felt the urge to post several times, explain it was a poorly scripted idea twice, and it made no sense four times.
Im not making enemies over these smilies, Ive considered kame a jerk for quite a while, and I decided this was the last straw.
Sucks to know that, man. :\ I actually liked your 'stop' comic a lot. My comments were based on the bizarre-ness of the idea of a talking stop sign. That was what I meant when I said that it didn't make sense, (in that a stop sign can't really talk
) and I posted twice because I felt people were taking my comment to mean that I disliked it. Apparently I didn't do a good job of dissuading that idea at all.
Also, my comments about it being poorly scripted were basically the same thing. That there was no explanation for why it talked, or even how it talked, and so it was a bit confusing. Still, it was cute, and funny, and I liked it. I try to tone down my negative comments by saying "somewhat" or "semi" (when i mean that), because it's hard to say that it's "averagely scripted" and still express what I mean. Seriously though, it sucks to hear that you think I'm a jerk, since I consider you a pretty cool guy.
Also, even though i previously disliked these smilies, simply for their graphical style, after seeing them used in your topic about your game, I've changed my mind. Seeing them in use, I actually realized that they are more expressive and easy to relate to than the defaults. I would use these if they were implemented.
Also, please, mods, don't lock this for "gravedigging" - it's still relevant, because he had something to say and the smilies haven't been implemented, so the issue is still actively.... erm, discussable?
