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.

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.

What's up with this Medieval bloke? He needs to lighten up. It was a bit of fun. To be honest I'm glad he doesn't come here.

It's alright with me if people hate 64digits, we can't please everybody. 64digits is only right for 99% of the people surfing the internet.

And 64digits is not that much of an elitist society, considering the fact that many new members are welcome here, such as Ronnica (putting aside that she's a girl and that's the reason she's so popular)

Never mind the blog, your banner is SICK.

Sadly, this guy does have an account here. Anyway, he wouldn't any fun to have around if he was active.

@Rawr: I agree.

@Poly: Thanks, man!

Well, that was… strange. I love this community here at 64D, and I've discovered some truly awesome games here in the past. I really don't understand what people have against 64D, as I've not encountered a problem with it as of yet. I wouldn't leave this place even if something annoying did happen… I'm rather forgiving and loyal :D

I think it's better this way. I mean, do we really need people like that on the site?

RawrSpoon, you big hypocrite.

64D is a place for people who can take being prodded at. Overall, I'd say this is the main community of GM. Forums just have a hard time allowing for the social aspect of a community. Which of course, ends up taking the focus of 64D away from GM. Personally, I prefer that. Because 64D is therefore a community of amateur game designers, which is a community I'd like to be with. So, F1ak3r speaks truth. Those people can stay out

And new people are welcomed, just not new people who found GM yesterday, skipped over to GMC and ended up after a few clicks at 64D. If new people come already with the 64D attitude, they find themselves at home. Else, we have to beat the attitude into them

Also, most of those notes are about down time. That's old
