I'm Sorry

I'm Sorry for breaking the TCRF Rules, You are probably going to block me for a day or two. Roakidiot (talk) 17:58, 20 November 2014 (EST)

Um, no? Only if you continue to break them... --BMF54123 (talk) 18:54, 20 November 2014 (EST)

Erm...

Is it okay if I put my favorite songs from something on my userpage? --ToonAlexSora007 (talk) 15:19, 25 November 2014 (EST)

I don't care what you put on there so long as it's a) not illegal and b) hosted externally. --BMF54123 (talk) 15:37, 25 November 2014 (EST)

What do you mean by "illegal"? --ToonAlexSora007 (talk) 15:49, 25 November 2014 (EST)

Um. Anything that would get you in trouble with the law? (yes, I know this entire wiki is largely a legal grey area, shut up thanks) --BMF54123 (talk) 16:03, 25 November 2014 (EST)

Also "hosted externally" means "don't upload a bunch of personal stuff to the wiki and waste our limited server space." Use YouTube or Dropbox or something, please. --BMF54123 (talk) 16:26, 25 November 2014 (EST)

Banned from IRC

Hi, I tried to join #tcrf today through the webclient, and noticed my host has a ban. I'm not sure what could cause this ban unless idling in the chatroom is against the rules (which it doesn't seem to be) or I got falsely flagged by a widespread IP ban.

Could you shed some light on this situation? Cheers. Souzooka (talk) 23:11, 13 January 2015 (EST)

Due to the actions of one idiot, Mibbit is now banned (again). You should be able to join again. -Einstein95 (talk) 00:56, 14 January 2015 (EST)

Splitting of the Super Mario All-Stars page

Dga7696 split off the Super Mario All-Stars + SMW section and created its own page for this. I'm curious if anyone in the IRC room approved of this or he's just doing this by himself without being told. --From: divingkataetheweirdo (talk) 12:13, 29 January 2015 (EST)

Two quick questions

Two quick questions on TCRF standards as I work on this page:

1. How picky are you about image copyright tags? The multiple file uploader isn't letting me select any option but CC-by-SA variations, which didn't seem quite applicable.
2. What's the stance on covering developer messages in games where the files were designed to be copied and edited? (Specifically discussing Civ II here, given that many files contain directions or tips for scenario builders, although these aren't visible in-game.)

Thank you for your assistance. Miles of SmashWiki (talk) 16:01, 19 February 2015 (EST)

I don't think any of the staff has given much thought to the current copyright tags; personally, I don't care, but I can bring it up with the others if it's a big deal. As for the developer messages, I wouldn't bother, since they were meant to be seen by players in some manner (even if it isn't in-game). --BMF54123 (talk) 02:39, 20 February 2015 (EST)

MediEvil series navigation template

Hi! Could you create the navigation template for the MediEvil and MediEvil II articles? --Gjlewis (talk) 13:55, 21 February 2015 (EST)

Another Demo

Hello. There's another MediEvil demo prototype with few early differences. I found them from here. Could I create the article "Proto:MediEvil (Early Timed Demo Version)" while renaming the article from "Proto:MediEvil" to "Proto:MediEvil (Rolling Demo)"?--Gjlewis (talk) 17:07, 24 February 2015 (EST)

If a rip of the "early timed demo" is available, yes, although "Proto:MediEvil" would become a sort of "hub" with each build getting its own subpage (such as "Proto:MediEvil/Rolling Demo"). -WarioBarker (talk) 20:33, 15 March 2015 (EDT)

Separate Tag for Developer Assets

I was thinking of a tag for things that were used during development, but were not (intended to be) publicly released. This would include design documents, early scripts, and possibly concept art. I realize the last one might fit under prerelease images, but not so much the other two. --From: divingkataetheweirdo (talk) 20:41, 28 February 2015 (EST)

Question

I am the sole author of these pages (1, 2) about unused content in Densetsu no Stafy 4 on another wiki. There is a lot of information there and I am considering copying all of it over to TCRF, but I feel that it won't be worth it to re-write everything. Would you and the other staff mind if I inserted everything into the TCRF Densetsu no Stafy 4 page as it is?

If yes I want a note of attribution in some way, possibly a template that says "taken from Starfy Wiki with permission" or something like that, and I could add a "mirrored on The Cutting Room Floor" template on the Starfy Wiki pages. Thanks. Torchickens (talk) 19:15, 15 March 2015 (EDT)

As long as the pages follow the general rules and formatting we expect here, that's fine.

As for attribution, I would probably just add a {{source}} tag at the end of each major section with a link to the Starfy Wiki, as putting it anywhere else tends to look really tacky (and that's kind of why we have the tag anyway). --BMF54123 (talk) 19:44, 15 March 2015 (EDT)

OK. I agree using source anywhere else doesn't look good. What I had in mind was a simple box. Does this mockup for the top of the page look good enough? Or simply using <code>Copied from Starfy Wiki with permission</code> at the top doesn't look bad in my opinion either, which one is best for you? Torchickens (talk) 20:34, 15 March 2015 (EDT)

Erm, I dunno. None of our other pages have anything like that, and it kind of sticks out like a sore thumb. Is adding the tag to the end of each section not enough? :\ --BMF54123 (talk) 20:38, 15 March 2015 (EDT)

No. I'd like something visible that gives a reason why the content is a copy. Without a visible explanation of why there are two copies, I'd rather reword everything. May I add it in a "todo" to reword everything from the source wiki? Torchickens (talk) 22:01, 15 March 2015 (EDT)

I guess that would be fine for now. Sorry to be nitpicky about this, I just don't want people thinking it's okay to dump terrible copy-pasted articles here as long as they add a disclaimer to the top (not implying that your articles are terrible, of course). --BMF54123 (talk) 19:50, 16 March 2015 (EDT)

Resolutions

What do you consider the native resolution for PS1 screens? The link on the help page lists multiple. Also, how should I go about covering Net Yaroze titles? Should I create articles of each game or just the demo disc they are on? TheBluegeek (talk)

The page lists multiple resolutions because the PSX has multiple native resolutions. Many games even switched resolutions mid-game. Use pSX and follow the directions here and you shouldn't have any problems.

As for Net Yaroze, uh, I'll have to get back to you on that. --BMF54123 (talk) 03:17, 19 March 2015 (EDT)

Obscenely Large Image - Upload vs. Link

For the Pokémon Shuffle page, there are puzzle graphics for all 719 Pokémon plus Mega Evolutions and only a select few are used at the moment. SciresM created a png file of all of the Pokémon. Rather than cutting out a bunch of Pokémon from the image and uploading all of them, I wanted to just use the big image instead. However, it's huge. 8.43MB. I know we don't usually link to images hosted outside the wiki, but such a huge file being uploaded here may cause problems, so I'm asking for your input first. For the record, here's a link to the image. --AquaBat (talk) 13:39, 23 March 2015 (EDT)

Here's an optimized version that weighs in at 6.98MB. --M64m (talk) 14:33, 23 March 2015 (EDT)

Ah, ok

BMF54123 thank you for letting me know that i need to improve in quality. Ill be trying my best to do so. again thank you and i respect the fact that you want certain people to improve their quality. until then i will read the guidelines as you said, see ya! ~TailsFanSRB2~

F-15 Strike Eagle III

Thanks for your improvements on F-15 Strike Eagle III! Regarding your comment "I'd prefer we actually document things here than provide a bunch of external links that could vanish in the future", it seems like it sucks to copy and paste lots of stuff that I'm not planning to add value to. I certainly understand your concern about things vanishing in the future - I'm not sure how much I trust SourceForge, nor how much I trust myself to get around to finding a new host if they do in fact die. Is it possible to just have a copy/cache of that page on the wiki so it's "safe" to link to it? --DOS (talk) 23:01, 1 May 2015 (EDT)

Questions

Heya. I'm new to the wiki, but I've been reading it and followed it for more than I recall. I've always wished to contribute somehow, and for some reason I don't really know I started today. I'm not new to wikis and stuff, but I'm not interested in the social side of the wiki (userpages, chats, forums and such) so first thing off I made a sandbox from my user page in order to start working. You can find it at LittleSkullKid/Sandbox, where I'm working on a page about Clock Tower for SNES.

English is not my first language and I'm still not into all the rules and stuff, so please take a look at the page and let me know if it's a good template that I may follow, and all that I should know (aside from standard rules about uploading pictures, editing and such- which I've already read and tried to follow strictly). I'm mostly looking out for cut text right now, as I've found people discussing the existence of it- the english fan translator of the game was not of much help, unfortunately. Once I finish this page, I'll probably move on adding all the missing title screens I can, because missing title screens really annoy me.

I actually wanted to contact Xkeeper first (but his last discussion on the talk page was back in 2014, so I decided to contact the following admin in the list) due to the fact that he created the SNES To-do page list and (I presume) wrote under Clock Tower: "Changed" graphics (Referring to Background graphics that are covered up with sprites), at least one of which is the hole in the wall where Jennifer's dad is.. I looked into that, but by toying around with layers it's pretty clear there are no hidden walls. Sorry to toss this ball back to you, but could you tell me if he's still active?

Sorry for the wall of text and please let me know.--LittleSkullKid (talk) 15:00, 19 May 2015 (EDT)

Taking DS Screen-shots

For taking DS Screen-shots, should I use "Open-GL 3.2" or "Open-GL Old"? --8SomaCruzes (talk) 20:06, 1 June 2015 (EDT)

It doesn't really matter. (I was going to say "neither, use the software rasterizer" because OpenGL rendering is gross and not at all hardware-accurate, but apparently our own guidelines say not to use that. This warrants further testing and discussion.) --BMF54123 (talk) 20:42, 1 June 2015 (EDT)

About images

Hello, I was wondering is it OK to upload a photo that shows a situation of: The World Is Not Enough's developer photo I somehow got displayed while in main menu in full screen. I taped that immediately and recently dug the footage and took a photo of the TV set as I don't have anything to transfer VHS footage on PC (that is a glimpse of about 2 seconds anyway that I caught). --Psxdriverplayer (talk) 16:55, 2 June 2015 (EDT)

Stupid question according my profile (very selfish question) =3

I was told you have the power to do everything, including boring things like renaming users =3 I recently changed my nickname everywhere on the internet, even here - but of course I had to do that by creating a new account.

Do you think it's possible to merge my two accounts into my new one, more specifically, merging User:PacMani into User:Ray Koopa?

Sorry for wasting your time for my personal hickups =S Just... stab me or something if I was annoying...

*ducks* - Ray Koopa (talk) 03:58, 6 August 2015 (EDT)

It's not really possible to "merge" accounts here. In the future, instead of creating a new account (which is kind of frowned upon), please ask an admin for a name change. --BMF54123 (talk) 06:50, 6 August 2015 (EDT)

Quick question

Sorry to bother you, but I was about to add a map to The Lion King (Game Gear) which shows part of the map that's hidden by the camera - I'm pretty certain the graphics in question actually exist in other levels though, so should I still mention it? Or no? And if so, is there a specific tag I should use? RadSpyro (talk) 20:24, 24 August 2015 (EDT)

If there's an area of the game not shown normally, then do talk about it. If the graphics in question are shown in other areas (and not shown there either), it still is worth noting. --From: divingkataetheweirdo (talk) 05:11, 25 August 2015 (EDT)

JFK Reloaded

The rules prohibit "games of a highly/extremely pornographic, racist, or otherwise immoral nature" (and even if they didn't, I'd still say no). Both the game and the comments are completely disgusting and really don't deserve to be documented in any manner. --BMF54123 (talk) 06:05, 1 October 2015 (EDT)

Moving my Prerelease Zelda Article to the Mainspace

Hello, there. I think my prerelease Zelda page is good to go and can be added to the mainspace. The only problem is that Mathuser has already created a (short) page on it. I could easily do a copy-and-paste over it but N. Onymous has also worked on the page a bit so I'd like them to receive credit for their edits in the edit history. If you could delete the pre-existing page and move mine over, much would be appreciated. If not, I will understand why. --Chpexo 18:55, 2 October 2015 (EDT)

Regarding Your Recent Removal to the Prerelease Zelda Page

One significant difference is the fact there seems to be two rooms represented for each room for the final. This would be a reasonable explanation for the difference but notice how Link is in the room second from the left. If each one room was represented by two horizontal rooms, there wouldn't be a door to the left.

Regarding Your Recent Edit to the Zelda Prerelease Page

Your hypothesis would be a reasonable explanation for the difference but notice how Link is in the room second from the left in the mini-map. If each one room in the mini-map was represented by two horizontal rooms, there wouldn't be a door to the left leading to a different room. If you have any objections to my current hypothesis, I will surely listen because I wish there was a concrete conclusion. If not, I will add a better explanation to the image but I do have a suspicion that the screenshot is a mockup. In part with the inconsistency with the interview and the fact the key is not in the center of the screen. --Chpexo 21:02, 2 October 2015 (EDT)

I added a note to the Moon Dungeon section, but I'd rather not claim the image is a mockup based solely on that inconsistency. --BMF54123 (talk) 21:45, 2 October 2015 (EDT)

Unused model inside a game

Dear BMF54123,

Please take note that I have found an unused Codename CURE model for the game (which, obviously is an animation test) for a zombie. This model is a non-zombified variation of the Sniper class. It does have the "ragdoll" sequence glitched, though, so turn on Lock View inside the Hammer Model Viewer.

Here's the filename and where it is located at:

File: zombie_hardass.mdl Directory: models/zombie/ (the place where the zombos from HL2 live)

Thanks,

pivotman319.

--"hey! it's me!" - Turret (talk) 03:17, 19 December 2015 (EST)

Questions regarding games

Despite falling short on technical knowledge, I've tried my best to help this great wiki by making a few articles on relevant games (like Clock Tower or Alone in the Dark) - but lately I was interested in making three specific pages (or rather, snoop around those game's data and hope to find good content), and there's sort of a grey area about what games might fit or not on this wiki. By reading the guidelines, I've noticed a prohibition on "fan games", but judging by articles on games such as Yume Nikki, games with original concepts are free to be in regardless of their official publishing status or dubious indie nature. To clear things up, I've decided to contact an admin and name directly the games I wanted to work on, just to be sure - those are the original Umineko no Naku Koro Ni, Katawa Shoujo and Unteralterbach. I can't guarantee much yet about my findings, but better safe than sorry.--LittleSkullKid (talk) 13:27, 18 February 2016 (EST)

"Fan games" are a kind of nebulous concept that's impossible to define well, but the general guideline is that notability is a big contribution. Things like Yume Nikki aren't really "fan games" (it's actually pretty original from what I know), but the spinoffs (e.g. Yume 2kki) would be... though even then, they're old and well-known enough that it would likely get a pass. It's really more of a filter for "low-quality low-effort unoriginal games" ... -- Xkeeper (talk) 14:37, 18 February 2016 (EST)

When we refer to fan games, we're typically referring to games or hacks of games unofficially made by enthusiasts/fans and not intended to be sold in the markets (read: stuff like hacks of Super Mario World or Sonic the Hedgehog). Katawa Shoujo is fine. I've never heard of Unteralterbach until now, but looking at it and seeing that one of the main themes is CP, I wouldn't include this game on the wiki. Not sure what you're talking about when you're referring to the original Umineko no Naku Koro Ni, as the earliest game I could find was by 07th Expansion (the same developer behind Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni). That should be fine too either way. --From: divingkataetheweirdo (talk) 13:54, 18 February 2016 (EST)

Unteralterbach is a German porn game with children in it. Meaning the main character has sex with the children. In fact I'm pretty sure he doesn't have sex with any actual adults whatsoever. --AquaBat (talk) 14:10, 18 February 2016 (EST)

As another admin I'm going to chime in and say that any article about a game with sexually explicit content/premise is liable to be deleted. I can think of a couple of unlicensed Famicom/SFC "adult" games that already have articles on the wiki which are kind of pushing it (but I doubt there'd ever be any objectionable content in those articles, it's just mundane technical stuff). Umineko and Katawa Shoujo are probably fine. --Devin (talk) 14:19, 18 February 2016 (EST)

Yeah I'm going to chime in with the same, that is not a game I would want here, ever. That's the kind of thing that would get us in serious trouble with basically everyone, yikes. -- Xkeeper (talk) 14:37, 18 February 2016 (EST)

Unteralterbach is more of a parody and mostly a straightforward novel game, but it does contain explicit sexual depictions of lolis (also depicted with western drawings, so probably more crude) so I guess it's fine if skipped over to spare possible negative feedbacks. Technically though, Katawa Shoujo is pretty much the same thing, but this ain't no place to go over game analysis - if that gets greenlighted by admins, I'll work on it. When refering to the "original" Umineko, I was talking about 07th Expansion, correct. I specified because the game also got a different PS3 and PC release. And thanks again for the clarification.--LittleSkullKid (talk) 15:27, 18 February 2016 (EST)

I disagree with Katawa Shoujo being the same thing. Yeah, it has sex scenes if the user doesn't hide them in the options tab. However, there are no "adult on child" routes or story lines. Based on Higurashi, I'd expect Umineko to be violent or gory. However, I think both are fair game for TCRF. If you find something NSFW then use the NSFW tag on the page to warn people (why the hell else do we have the tag).

If I were you I would choose Katawa Shoujo to hack/research. I am not sure if there is anything unused in the final game so you would have to dig there. However, I believe that early versions of the game leaked out onto the web of which have some sizable story changes which would be TCRF worthy.

I should add, I am not an admin so don't create anything based on my post alone. --Cuber456 (talk) 22:26, 18 February 2016 (EST)

Quick "This image needs to be replaced." tag question.

Hi. I think it was you that put the tag on this image: (Sorry if it wasn't you >_<)

I've since re-sized and re-uploaded the image, and after a long time it refreshed to the new picture. My question is, do I remove the tag or does an Admin? Thank you. :) --MinecraftMarioGuy53 (talk) 09:09, 8 March 2016 (EST)

No, anyone can remove the replaceimage tag. Though, instead of resizing, take the image at a valid 4:3 (or 16:9 if the game doesn't support it, which is not very likely) resolution. -Phrossi (talk) 09:30, 8 March 2016 (EST)

Thank you very much, I'll do that. -- MinecraftMarioGuy53 09:57, 8 March 2016 (EST)

Content from books

I recently read the autobiographical book about Spelunky's development by Mr. Yuu. It's super good! At one point he talks a little bit about the earliest build of Spelunky he has such as its different name and minor graphical differences. In another he details cut game modes from the HD remake, some closer to completion than others. No pictures. Is this information admissible on tcrf? And if so how should I reference and cite it? I feel like direct quotes and a link to where the reader can buy the book/ebook is insufficient. On an unrelated note, the McKids post was like the best Patreon reward ever. --Heran Bago (talk) 09:31, 25 May 2016 (EDT)

If no one responds on this in the next week or two I am just going to add direct quotes from the book. I will use book citations on Wikipedia as a point of reference. --Heran Bago (talk) 05:05, 9 June 2016 (EDT)

Demo/Prerelease Help

I found some stuff on the demo of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (PC), should I do a comparison thing on the main page for the game or should I put it on a separate page for it? --LOLDev (talk) 09:20, 27 May 2016 (EDT)

Also, if you see some early footage of a game, would that go under Prerelease articles? --LOLDev (talk) 12:44, 27 May 2016 (EDT)

The demo version should get it's own separate page. From there, do whatever comparisons you need to on that page. Early game footage would need to go on a prerelease page unless the footage is found on the game (retail/demo/whatever) media unused or it shows off something unused in the final game. Check out the rules of this wiki if you haven't. In particular, this would have answered your question about early game footage. --Cuber456 (talk) 15:00, 27 May 2016 (EDT)

Dreamcast PC Files

Many Dreamcast games contain three text files on the disc that can be seen when the disc is put into a PC. Sometimes there are desktop backgrounds too. I think the ABSTRACT.TXT files are worth posting in the rare cases where they have unique text. Other files like backgrounds I think are always worth it. Agree or disagree? --Heran Bago (talk) 05:05, 9 June 2016 (EDT)

I agree with this. If ABSTRACT.TXT actually contains unique text and isn't just some generic text/blank, then it might be worth mentioning. Also, those with files for PCs are worth mentioning and we already have quite a few of them here on the wiki. Heck, some of those files actually have things hidden within them and those are especially worth mentioning. --From: divingkataetheweirdo (talk) 16:22, 9 June 2016 (EDT)

Yeah, we specifically have a "bonus content" category for things like bitmap files on Dreamcast discs, and we have made exceptions to the (unwritten?) rule regarding CD text files if there's something legitimately interesting inside. If it's just a copyright/release date/other boring info, though, don't bother. --BMF54123 (talk) 02:42, 10 June 2016 (EDT)

About Cliff Hanger Video Rip

I'm not sure if I'd be able to upload a rip of this to Youtube even if it's unlisted. TMS is really hot on any Lupin-related clips being uploaded. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Moguro Fukuzou (talk • contribs)

Understandable, given that major anime studios like TMS and Toei are protective of unlicensed usage of their shows and movies. You can try uploading movies here. --From: divingkataetheweirdo (talk) 22:56, 30 May 2017 (EDT)

May I become an admin and bureaucrat?

Please, I love this game, and I want to defend everything of it.

May I become an admin and a bureaucrat, please?

Please, I promise that I will help a lot in this wiki!!! I will make this wiki very active and in the future will be one of the most popular wikis!

Want a good future? Please, make me admin and bureaucrat, and your wiki will be very visited and very popular!

I need also to be bureaucrat because I need to be capable to choose more admins, that means more activity! If the current admins leave, this wiki would be inactive...

Best wishes

Editing too much?

I joined the TCRF not too long ago so I could add what I already know to pages on some of my favorite games, like Doom 64 or Sonic Mania. I looked at the Recent Changes page and noticed that a lot of edits in the past 14 days (as of writing this) have been my doing. Should I cool down on the edits, or am I in the clear? -- Pyrolex (talk) 13:15, 15 September 2017 (EDT)

You're in the clear. I've been editing quite a lot too (as you can tell from my user contribs history). --From: divingkataetheweirdo (talk) 16:25, 15 September 2017 (EDT)

3D Movie Maker

3D Movie Maker is a game. It's point and click. If you don't believe me, check out some gameplay footage. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kallus (talk • contribs)

The issue comes from the fact that's it's mostly a educational multimedia creation thing with a UI aimed at kids. There are maybe a couple of minigames (where the player can play basic point and click games on the side), but that's a bit of a stretch. Wikipedia lists it as a game mostly because it uses BRender, which has otherwise been used exclusively in games. Not to mention this game was published by Microsoft Kids, itself a label for Microsoft Home. Gahan Wilson's The Ultimate Haunted House and the The Magic School Bus Explore series can go on the wiki, but things like Creative Writer and Creative Writer 2 wouldn't count as games here (they're word processors aimed at kids). The fact that 3D Movie Maker is point and click is moot, considering you could argue that for a bunch of productivity apps and even OSes. --From: divingkataetheweirdo (talk) 16:12, 17 September 2017 (EDT)

As someone familiar with 3DMM decades ago, I can assure you that it's not a game. The closest thing it has to "gameplay" is clicking on hidden hotspots on backgrounds for collecting 'talent book' biographies for the 3d character models. There's nothing else. -HsienKo (talk) 17:38, 24 September 2017 (EDT)

Cropping a particular title screen image

Hi, I wanted to ask your opinion on whether or not the title screen image for A Normal Lost Phone (File:ANLP-titlescreen.png) should be cropped (ie. the blank space at either side of the image removed). Normally this obviously wouldn't be the case, but in the case of this particular game, I'm not sure; the game is supposed to simulate a smartphone, and as such the game itself appears with the aspect ratio of a typical smartphone. This is obviously not an issue in the mobile version of the game, but on desktop this leaves large spaces at either side of the screen. For most of the game, these spaces are simply filled by a darkened version of the current app background (see the screenshots on the game's Steam Store page), but in the case of the title screen, there is no background, and the space is completely black. Also: if it were to be cropped, what height should the image be? I left the original screenshot at 1920x1080 since the game doesn't let you choose resolution, but if required I could change my monitor's resolution in order to change the game's resolution. I figured I'd ask an administrator about this before doing anything about it. --periaster (talk · contribs) 15:45, 21 November 2017 (EST)

The main thing that made me consider it in the first place was the fact that the text is pretty hard (read: impossible) to read when the image is that small. --periaster (talk · contribs) 15:52, 21 November 2017 (EST)--periaster (talk · contribs) 15:51, 21 November 2017 (EST)

Since the game does put some graphics in the empty space later, I would argue that it is part of the intended experience and should not be cropped. However, if the game does gracefully scale to other non-widescreen resolutions (say, 1280x1024), that would be an acceptable workaround to reduce the image size. --BMF54123 (talk) 00:55, 22 November 2017 (EST)

Thanks for the advice! After messing around with my display settings, I was able to get a portrait screenshot of the title screen, though I had to crop out some letterboxing that then occurred at the top and bottom of the screen. --periaster (talk · contribs) 06:22, 22 November 2017 (EST)

Actual letterboxing, I should clarify, which was never filled with a background. Also far more letterboxing than was actually required to fit the game to the display. For some reason the game was intent on keeping at least a small part of the previously-mentioned background area at either side. --periaster (talk · contribs) 06:28, 22 November 2017 (EST)

Name change

Could I please get my name changed to Snessy the duck? I really don't like my current name at all (I chose it a long time ago) and Snessy the duck is also the name I use on most other sites I'm on. --Anton Cool Guy (talk) 11:53, 3 December 2017 (EST)

hello

I found your reverts in some of my edits that I have made. And honestly, the only thing I have to say is that I actually accept the criticism. I agree on the fact that some of my edits are in fact, low quality and don't add much to articles. After all, the majority of my contributions is adding images to pages. And to that, I say "thank you" for the criticism. I appreciate it.
