I don't get it.
grim
Perhaps we were too harsh on stick vs ball
>>151870357You just reminded of that one Newgrounds user who gave the Loki IRL 2 stars and wrote a well thought-out review of the pilot while everyone else was just praising Pan for releasing the pilot after 15 years.
>>151870387No we weren’t hard enough. We should’ve been harsh if not outright devilish
>>151870357something something society
>>151870357
The voice actors in these YouTube pilots always sound like they're trying not to wake up their parents.
>Don't use Microsoft SamCritics can't create, as comicsgate proved.
>>151870405We usually were, which is why so many online content creators are abrasive hacks who thrive on negative attention.
>>151870387funnily enough, stickman vs random shit is still going strong
>>151870357Inspiring if it's the same animator. Deep if it's not.
>>151870357inaccurate beacuse Furry Fellows won't be on Newgrounds
Furry fellows looks good to me unironically
>>151870357Exprospammah's review starts off sounding harsh but quickly becomes constructive and hopeful for better work in the future. That's the best negative feedback you could ask for and the kind artists need to grow. I want more of that guy, with fewer assholes and blind praise alike.
>>151870357I remember when that zine was posted here, it was fucking awful
>>151870551people really don't give criticism anymore in general, I never get it on anything I share, I don't even get it in art college, criticism there is mostly just people saying what they like about art
>>151870513This. Anyone know any pilots similar?
what if instead of a ball, it was a JPEG of Bill Gates or George Bush's face and the stickman had a cool desert eagle
>Stick vs Ball: a Colossal Catastrophe, runtime: 72 hours>Furry Fellows: An Amazing Accomplishment: runtime: 3 minutes.
>>151870357it's kind of crazy that you could fit 1 minute of animation in less than MB.
>>151870357Newgrounds still exists. That platform should of died a long time ago somewhere in the early 2010s.
>>151870357The myans were right the world died in 2012 and we are in hell full of ai bots on forums even 4 chan.
>>151870357Furries and discord mods enter the chat.
>>151870357Exprospammah and Ninjawatzit are the same person?
>furry fellows>it's more retailslopwhy do furries do this when you have so many possibilities and character designs you make them work
>>151871877Because their main sources of feedback (twatter and reddit) contain the only people who actually want heckin relatable boring shows.
>>151870357>the animation is sooooooo smoothLiterally every animation video has this comment, even if it's practically a slideshow.
The "old newgrounds" circlejerk and romanitization is gayer and faggier than anything related to an asexual amazon ikindle in mcdonuts
>>151870387ten years olds back then consoomed that shit nonstop
>>151870704Wastelandia comes to mind. I personally hated it but whatever floats your boat...
>>151871877write what you know or something, and most people are wagies force me to write something and I will eventually start complaining about my job and how I want to bash an old lady's skull with a brick
>>151871872That's just the default profile pic on Newgrounds, just means they haven't picked a new one
>>151870447Those who can't do, teachThose who can't teach, teach gymThose too fat to teach gym, review and criticize online
>>151871980Yeah, I heard it was bad and cringe and sucked ass. But eh, I'll give it a shot
>>151870551That's what I'm taking away from this. I didn't start making crap during that era, and I feel like I missed out on something irreplaceable.
>>151872265Yeah, the lack of shame due to anonymity. Now if you get a review like that you think, wow this guy is cool and then you click his account and he just has his whole bubble butt out. Because he was asked to. I know this bc it happened.Back then you can at least when you got a compliment you could imagine it was a cool, white, basketball chad named Jason or a neckbeard
>>151872265They were annoying and cringe half the time
>>151871921>>151871984
>>151871984Yeah but the old lady could be a demon and you have to join the Bricklayers, a secret society of demon hunters founded by Stonemasons.But then you have to go back to your job and deal with Karens and anal retentive managers.
>>151872948>more work>in this economyAs long as it's paid there's no problem here. You can use money from work to pay bills and then buy treats
>>151870357it's not a faithful recreation of the 2020's if they aren't talking like picrel
>>151873125>As long as it's paid there's no problem here.Lol, lmao even.
>>151871877The entire furry culture operates on reverse self-insertion. A fursona exists to be a cooler version of the self that replaces the self-loathed version that actually exists. Shows where the cooler version lives through realistic drudgery is the natural extension of that.
>>151872140imo it could be salvageable but they would need professional voice actors for that. well, better sound in general. if you havent yet you could check out gassys gas n stuff
>>151872383I would rather have a few annoyingly in-depth reviews than a thousand "omg this is LITERALLY me!" responses. Pedantry is far more helpful than fleeting, self-centered praise.
What is stopping everyone here from creating?
>>151870490So this is what they mean by Man vs Author.
>>151873335Eventually it just became a thing lolcow obsessives did to hide their trolling Also this eventually evolved into creators accepting and adopting every shitty meme and idea from their fans too
>>151873374I'm xenophobic and China's new tiktok is the hit of the town. I've been waiting for it's downfall and even China has moved on but, even still it's the biggest place to get noticed. And every place else has become a less functional copy. I'm very unhappy with how limited outreach potential has become in a world so connected. I want to draw girls with big juicy asses but, the two cakes fallacy only gets me so far when no one feels like pitying little old me
>>151873150that kind of talk has been around since the late 2010's
>>151873150I haven't seen anyone talk like that in a while
>>151873374Fear of Failurealso I love China and Year Hare Affair mogs everything western indies have created btw, I hate tiktok THOUGH because now it's owned by a westoid zionist who has openly talked about making his own surveillance state
>>151873044That's just a superhero comic, I'm stealing it
>>151870701befriend autistic retards on 4chan who think they know better than everyone then youll realize how much criticism is just as vapid and empty as praise
>>151873374personally, modern audiences suck ass.its insane that your own fans are competitors these days too thanks to the internet content mill
>>151873558This too. Animators and artists left the internet over less fandom beefs and became better people once. Now it's constant fandom wars and accusations that we have to pretend is normal behavior. Even worse if they have a discord server prominently advertised to invite hugbox armies of hormone filled, angry and edgy teenagers ready to blow up a building over a furry animation meme
>>151873631The introduction of the touchscreen smartphone and its consequences...
>>151870357What's not to get
>>151873374This isn't like the old days of 2015 where someone would rant about you over some footage of CS surfing. If you put a ton of effort into making something animated today, people will make feature-length documentaries about why you suck, and they'll make more than you in ad revenue.
>>151870447I really need to catch up and see if the 2025 Halloween special is good.
I wish there was a platform that had 4chan's social etiquette but for artists. Basically a website that lets you create whatever the hell you want without worrying about walking on eggshells to appease vulturous zoomers.And if we're being honest even 4chan sucks for that endeavor nowadays, too many schizos and shitposters who will monitor you 24/7 to bring you down. There's a reason nobody makes OC for this shithole site anymore.
>>151873950...Tumblr
>>151873878>This isn't like the old days of 2015 where someone would rant about you over some footage of CS surfingHate how that's the "old days", that was a trash era of youtube >If you put a ton of effort into making something animated today, people will make feature-length documentaries about why you suck, and they'll make more than you in ad revenue.And don't forget the potential of getting dox from sharty or other places. This is probably the worst era to create something
>>151874097>They hated him because he said the truthI just wish they didn't ban porn
>>151870752Stick vs Ball creator didn't develop any skills at all 20 years later and keeps uploading the same shit dailyFurry Fellows hasn't been seen since he was canceled for talking to a 17 year old when he was 19
>>151873125Ahahah, no. You will be paid the same and your expected work load will be much higher.
>>151870490kino
>>151874097every day i miss the peak of that stupid fucking site because of the gooner art there man so many niche fetish western porn artists lost to the sands of time
>>151873374furfag shit is not le epic or heckin based, it's furfaggotry disguised as furfaggotry-lite
>>151874255Something Awful lost
>>151873436As opposed to now, where creators just go for whatever shitty meme or idea is trending?I am aware that the 00's weren't a halcyon utopia. I know, I was there. But I miss those moments of meaning and connection and care. When people would occasionally write a few paragraphs in the comments instead of just a line of repetitive hyperbole. I don't care if it's sandwiched between a guy trying to RP and blatant trolling, I just want to be able to feel like someone cares.
>>151874252>every day i miss the peak of that stupid fucking site because of the gooner art there manfuck, same. too bad its userbase was and still is unbearable
>>151874507Never forget what trying to make a website more profitable took from you
>>151870357Most of these comments are written by bots btw
>>151874507same for this site
