I started playing again a week ago after almost a decade away. I appreciate this conceptually, and all the work being put into it, but I'm not sure whether it will scratch the itch (for me, anyway). I never really played for the cosmetic rewards, so they don't really add anything for me here. I think I just miss things like joining the same people in 24/7 pl_badwater purgatory and grinding aim skill and gamesense so I could be mediocre in 6s later on my team comprised of similarly aged friends I spent all day every day playing with. I don't know that trying to force 12v12 the entire time by utilizing bots for leavers and prioritizing an item progression system is it. Having to use an external website or client is also going to be a deterrent for new people, so I wonder if this will end up splitting an already small community further. Who knows. I hope it works out for others, though.

This is also me.

Yes. She didn't defend him from people actually being shitters. But she is interested in defending the shitters from me. If you don't see why this is a problem, I guess I don't know what to tell you.

Guess who got paid to draw something easy as fuck for more than minimum wage when factoring in the time it took? It's me!

Even if you're dense enough to take that at face value, it doesn't negate the malicious intentions behind people calling it garbage.

I consider ignoring everybody else literally calling his work garbage, and only piping up to tell me to quit being mean to the shitters, as contributing to the asshole community.

"Everyone else is mean, so that makes it okay for us to be too!"

You can continue using "it just internet culture" to try to justify being a turd if comparing yourself to other assholes is what makes you feel better about your own behavior, I guess.

There is a massive difference between valid criticism, and just saying mean shit. Learn the difference.

"I'm going to ignore the part about several other people being shitty and pick this comment to pipe up about." Yeah dude, continue defending the shitty attitude of this community.

There is a very CLEAR difference between criticism, and straight-up calling someone's work garbage.

Nobody said it was. But if you think that submitting one's work to the world validates being an asshole, then you're kind of a giant piece of shit. Pointing out problems? Constructive. Literally calling the art garbage? Fucking die.

That's right, nobody is obligated to upvote it. No one is obligated to insult the dude and his work personally either, but they're doing it.

No, they shouldn't. People should fuck off because they're not entitled to enjoyment out of someone else's art. Can they tell an artist that they are stagnant? Sure. Should they? Fucking no. A lot of the time the artist may even know if they are, but have a multitude of personal reasons behind it. Fuck off and leave people alone.

If this is what people said, that would be fine, because it gets the point across without being a dick. But they're literally calling his art garbage. What is that supposed to accomplish?

"I don't have anything of merit to add, so I'm just going to try to devalue everything you said by saying that you are mad."

sick nasty dude
