Everyone Hates 64digits

HAY, I'M RECYCLING A BLOG

If you happened to have clicked my page, here's a screenshot of a game I'm making for a Poppenkast contest. Three hours is the limit, and I've spent a little over two on it. I need to finish off the level design, but that's about it.

So tell me what you think! (blog updated on June 8th)

Below is the old, dusty entry…

——————————————————————-

Putting aside the deliberate exaggeration in the title, I’d like to say “Hiâ€?. Not everyone hates 64digits, but apparently a lot of people do.

I’ve been lacking the motivation to write blogs frequently. Again. But I think that today I might have found something at least mildly interesting to read about. Last weekend while I was suffering from a severe case of boredom, in a time period about half an hour, I came across some rather… funny things people had to say about 64digits. Never would I have thought that the fruit of near-idle browsing would be a topic for a blog. Some of these quotes I found when I was reading the Game Maker Blog, something I never do. I never read it because of the writers’ clear bias towards a number of things (one of them being 64digits). Other (funnier) quotes I found on sites like Snow Moons. So instead of writing a long boring blog, I’ll just leave you with the snippets of hate I found.

Quote:
64D is just too…meh.

Quote:
I’ve also decided to quit Snowmoons and return to 64digits. Why, you ask? Because I feel like it.

XD I’m lying, I wouldn’t return to that place, not now, not ever.

-RedChu
Strangely, RedChu has, indeed, returned.

Quote:
Those 64 digit songs are rubbish.

-Phil Gamble
PY, we all know they’re not. *Hugs*

Quote:
The whole “64digits gets hacked againâ€? business has really impacted my image of their service: what’s so great with them if they get hacked every month, by staff members?

-Tuntis

Quote:
I can’t believe how off-pitch that was. Ugly. With low quality mic’s.

Fuckin’ 64D nerds.

-Medieval

Quote:
Isn’t white & nerdy suitable for 64D nerds?

-Medieval

Quote:
It’s more deserving of the YoYo name than the GameMaker owners, it’s 64digits.

On the fourth the site was taken down because a member had found an exploit, again. Sadly it is now back online.

-Phil Gamble

So there you have it. These are only some of the many things people have to say about 64digits. Funny how people can channel so much hate towards a web site.

So why do people hate 64digits so much? I don’t know. Maybe because 64digits is better than the other communities, that’s why.

I think Phil has some severe issues he has to work out.

64digits is definately diffrent, its less professional but more friendly, and feels like a proper community. If people want a professional site with a good server up-time then so be it.

Let's have a good ol' 64Digits beat down!

64digits is laid back, more skilled of the GM Community that is intertwined with a few of the not-so skilled. The community is pretty apathetic about Game making to the most extent, and are lazy. Plus, the website's members have an elitist attitude, corrupted by Memes and other 64digits culture. Not many websites gain a culture, especially one like 64d. :P

Also, those are very old quotes.

Better that way.

@Kenon: Agreed.

Not that old… some are from around last year. Most recent ones were from early this year.

6 months is a long time on the internet, ESA ; )

Anyway, I wouldn't trade 64D for the world. We're mad, bad and ugly and I love it that way. v3 can go fuck itself as far as I'm concerned.

Kenon 16 years, 7 months ago

And that's old in my books!

I only take RECENT quotes as good, and by recent, I mean in the past month :P

You know, the saying goes that if someone's crap at something compared to you, you call them a noob.

And if someone's better at something compared to you, you call them a nerd.

I doubt it will with these people.
