April Fools Jokes

"TWiLight Menu++" was so unstable when I originally tried it, probably because the devs wasted time making a nonsensical startup screen instead of improving their program. You can insert a joke for April 1st, but the core project should take top priority.

Bit.Trip Flux Sucks

Flux is the lowest point of the Bit.Trip series. The cutscenes look poor, and the gameplay ranges from boring to infuriating. Despite the Commander being presumed dead, the background's words form "There is no death." Additionally, he still appears in Bit.Trip Complete's menus and further games. CommanderVideo never died. Also, Fraymakers is crap and its creators should feel like trash.

Brain Age: Concentration Training Made My Brain Hurt

I liked the Brain Age Express trilogy, so I thought I would enjoy Concentration Training. I was wrong. Devilish Training was more headache-inducing than stimulating, Block Head felt like trial and error, and the unlock conditions were tedious. Even the series's first game was preferable.

Friday Night Funkin' Is Redundant

FNF is likely the worst knockoff of DanceDanceRevolution. None of the characters are likable, and the input detection is sh**ty. Even with the KadeEngine mod, there are still references to Sr Pelo and ZONE's horrible cartoons. Besides, Stepmania is already a good clone of DDR. If it isn't broken, don't try to fix it.

Overuse of JavaScript

Web designers need to stop using JavaScript just to display core text and images. HTML already does that well and faster, so save scripts for forms.

Self-Imposed Challenges Are Stupid

If a game is so easy for you that you have to improvise difficulty, you should just play a harder game. Don't humiliate yourself.

Sensory Abuse

Raising stupid sh**'s volume, exposure, or saturation does not automatically make it funny. Please learn to write well.

Slurs

Slurs are lazy ad hominem attacks. Just laugh at them.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4's Wasted Potential

If Sonic Adventure had a proper prequel, the latter could answer many questions that the former raises. How did Sonic learn the homing attack? How did Tails obtain a Chaos Emerald for the Tornado? If Knuckles is the last of his kind, how did he learn to speak and fight? How did Big meet Froggy/Kaeru-kun? What motivated Eggman to build the Egg Carriers? There was so much potential that was wasted by limiting Sonic 4's major characters to Sonic, Tails, and Eggman.

Transwashing Is Trashy

If you want cisgender people to respect transgenderism, don't pretend cis characters are trans. It just makes you look as stupid as the bigots you hate, especially when the series has characters with the same gender you're projecting onto ones who are okay with themselves. Also, Lady Lunanova and RosieRoberta are retarded perverts and I would not have sex with them.

Where Is Our Respect?

Regardless of how many wonderfully talented people make themselves known, dumbsh**s and criminals almost always receive more exposure and income. How many f***ups can one group have before it starts losing too much money and its collaborators traumatize their customers? This is especially worrying when the prominent members have kids! I have no sleep schedule anymore because the victims' heartfelt screams and the likely future victims' sobs keep me awake at night.

Miscellaneous Annoyances

Here's a dump of what has been bothering me. Some of these might be placed on other pages later.

  1. Transgender predators do not look like "cute anime girls." They look like manchildren in skirts. End of story.
  2. If you can't take criticism, then you won't receive any more than you already do.
  3. On a similar note, therapists likely cannot treat your mental handicap because you do not see them often nor let them diagnose you.
  4. If you don't want people to mock something you made, don't publicize it.
  5. If one can't differentiate between right and wrong nor improve itself, it belongs in a white room or on death row.
  6. If you disagree with the previous statement, learn about Chris Chan, Newgrounds's refugees (e.g. Edmund "Bluebaby" McMillen, Chris "OneyNG" O'Neill, Zach "psychoticpebbles" Hadel, etc.) and Vince Li.
  7. Damn your double standards. If Chris Chan, Cosmodore, and Amos Yee are predators, then so are Sr Pelo, LS Mark, and Bob Magrann.
  8. If something seems too good or bad to be true, it's likely false.
  9. You need to budget if you want to have money for your self-care and projects.
  10. If you think you don't earn enough money from your hobbies, then start a Certificate of Deposit, apply for welfare, or get a job.
  11. Don't have a kid if you're not qualified to take care of one.
  12. You shouldn't treat a minor like excrement, though you also shouldn't spoil it rotten. Consider learning about the sh**storms that Justin Bieber and LS Mark caused.
  13. Some people like their sex rough, though remember there is a difference between kinky and discomforting.
  14. Don't try to use mental gymnastics with your opponents. (e.g. "They are fictional anyways" or "Is him lusting after a 12-year-old while he's mentally 7 being a predator?")
  15. Before you accuse a critic of "projecting", try to learn if the criticism is valid or not.
  16. If you feel bad about being fat, eat more nutritious food. Fats and sugar are definitely empowering, but you need to find a middle ground with them.
  17. Please practice what you preach. So many game devs and video creators look dishonest because they do not do this.
  18. Quit thinking that a YouTuber is smart just because it talks about computers. This excuse is bullsh** because I have been tinkering with software since elementary school.
  19. Don't call someone a retard when you act like a retard.
  20. Normal society runs on karma. If bad things keep happening to you, that is likely because it is punishing you for continuous disrespect.
  21. Don't lie unless you need to for safety. Online communities will learn the truth eventually.
  22. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
