KickStarter We need more buttons

[damager]

I need a questionmark button for strange propositions like this

What's the point of the shodan button? We already have

Autism doesn't imply "this post is AI generated" at all.

Yes we need both and more. MOAR BUTTONS! I am down with Eldrich but I miss man-made horrors with fatty on the sofa.

 

[fredsteel]

Much love for SHODAN, but how about you use Morpheus instead?

 

[Peachcurl]

Yeah, no, that would scale down horribly.

 

[Optimist]

Yeah, no, that would scale down horribly.

Yeah, but then you could say that it's a prototype of a much larger system.

 

[Gilius Thunderhead]

posted by normie is a better alternative to Shodan.

If we're going to tell people to take their meds, then I prefer the doctor from the old classic Life & Death to either Mario or the pill bottle:

Smol size:

Maybe one of the docs from Fallout (Doc Morbid) or FNV (Mitchell) if you can make them look good.

 

[Grauken]

Yo why did they remove Dr Mario version of "take your meds" over a soulless and inexpressive one?

Nintendo lawyers send a cease and desist to DorkUnderlord

1 x disappointed

The Doctor Mario button was absolutely fine. Why did it get changed?

DarkUnderlord doesn't want to get assraped by Nintendo's lawyers.

I often find myself wishing that there was a puke button, disgusting usually doesn't convey the severity of how unpleasant I find a lot of things.

To bring this thread back on track, I think with the the games industry and the world is going I think we need more nuanced ways to express our disgust.

,

and

alone are simply not going to be enough going forward. To that end I propose the following addition:

It would also be useful to have in button form.

Reiszed to 22×22 pixels and repainted the eyes to not be blurry at that resolution:

Now do the drunk donut.

That one needs someone who is less artistically challenged than me. Painting 45 degree lines is where my pixel art skills end.

Sideways vomit looks better IMO.

Switched SHODAN to ds version. it has high contrast and stands out a lot, but it's more readable than my version.

——

Also I'm thinking about readabiltity issues for the take meds thing. The lid should be brighter and the whole thing should be lit up more evenly horizontally. There's too much of a gradient. In other words the lighting looks too specular (shiny reflection) than flat (diffuse, ambient) like a non-metallic surface. It's hard to tell it's a pill bottle unless I squint my eyes.

But maybe it's only my eyes that are like that, having trouble recognizing SHODAN and the pill bottle?

——

Also this:

It's only for scaling displays such as 4K screens and mobile phones. But if you want to make a bigger SHODAN icon (see the original image I've posted) or recreate existing reaction icons without disturbing the style too much then knock yourself out and post them here.

. Many good buttons have two or more meanings, like

being about both optimism and homosexuality, and even globohomo and other forms of sexual degeneracy, like pedophilia and bestiality. You don't really need a different button for each and every need. And I know System Shock is a classy game, but let it go man.

We have also many old buttons that are underused, redundant and worthless, like

and

.

"What a shame" had much more of a right to be promoted to button status.

 

[Semiurge]

The new Shodan looks great.

 

[Gandalf]

hmm

 

[Zombra]

Also I'm thinking about readabiltity issues for the take meds thing.

You know what's readable? Dr. Mario.

Dr. Mario looks more like a butthurt inspector than something to insult another poster with. It doesn't even make sense without the alt text.

Also consoletards must die.

There are other buttons that are nearly inscrutable. Take the Consume Product Doritos for instance, it looks like a red splotch. The fact of the matter is unless you get comfortable with allowing the icons to be as large they need to be (within reason) you'll always get suboptimal results for high-detail images. The dancing donut is a reasonable ceiling for size.

Whitening the pill bottle cap is a good idea though. I don't think there's anything that can be done with Shodan. Before it was a grey splotch, now it's a high-contrast grey splotch.

Alright, so now having second-hand opinion I've changed the meds bottle. If ds wants to play with it then the original is at https://rpgcodex.net/forums/styles/dark/ratings/meds.png

It doesn't look any different.
