WTF?! Ban please?

I fully agree with you lynn!

Little extreme rights activists [my guess, he is already qualifying for "facist"?] ... are usually not capable to do so...

Pouet Administration might be scared to get a court order...

Like I said, don't pull pouet lower than where it really is.

did you see dubmoods winning speech?

Drama to the max.

tomcat/mwi: if, for some reason, you really want a Revision organizer to get mad at you during the party, you just have to start a fight right there or at least present a truly controversial demo. Damn, it's not so complicated! :]

Yes, I watched it now. I agree with what he said, but fascism comes in many colors and shapes. Some pretend to be the opposite of what they are, and fools are easy to deceive. If you can be convinced to hate unconditionally, then you're a fool.

Funny how there's garbage people trying to serve main character energy with supporting cast presence in a thread about an awesome demoparty but absolutely failing to do so. Oh well.

Anyway, my thoughts on the party:
Had AWESOME fun, and I can't believe we've been doing this in this awesome location for 15 years already. I would definitely go for 15 more!

Major thanks and hugs to the whole organisation. I love you all!

It was nice seeing my scene friends again, the compos and productions were amazing, and so was the whole atmosphere. Definitely lit a spark again, and really made me want to create stuff again.

See you all at the next party <3

It's hard when all you can do nowadays is trying to piss everyone off with attempts at shock value, isn't it..

@ham
I'm not here to stir up drama, and the least I ever wanted is beef with the organizers. I did not have time for a release this year, simply because my current free time project is not a demo. This may change next year. It's been a while, after all.

@leijaa please, I did piss you off with my mere presence, it seemed. Did you know that the world may be different from how you imagine it? Did you try fact checking? There is one person in this thread who bothered recently. Alas, it didn't seem to help on a larger scale.

@Noctis

thank you for your compliment! We had a great party! (I will pass it on) to the organizers... Happy to read, that you had a lot of fun!

Nah, i looked at lamp posts..

Anyway, great party, as usual. Thanks to everyone who turned up for the 5k run! Made my party to see so many of you participate!

@leijaa I mean, what went down in your head when you looked at me and thought "here is this guy whom I've known for fuck knows how long, and now I heard some crazy thing about him, should I ask if it's true or just start to hate him?" And then, your herd instinct prevailed. Well, good for you - don't bother to ask. It's easier on the brain cells.

What happened to all your well-reasoned arguments?

It seems pouet will be pulled lower, after all. Oh well.

Feel free to leave before it gets any lower then.

@tomcat/mwi:

Well, that would be better because then you could focus on producing something instead of scolding everyone. And at least then you'd stop being in the "few glöps, zero prods" clique, which is something.

6155 Glöps, 57 prods!

@ham I didn't scold anyone who didn't try me. Also, if they're so stupid they can't at least find my old pouet account with the same icon, then the scene is really (brain)dead.

why are you flexing glöps when flexing thumbs is a much better flex

Yeah, let's do that. I have 2,117 thumbs up that I've acquired over a period of almost 14 years which is 728 weeks. That's nearly 3 thumbs up every week for 14 years straight. Not bad for a millenial!

See, this glöps thing, and the obsession with it, reveals something interesting, psychologically speaking.

Men are primarily objective thinkers. Women are more prone to subjective approach. This isn't a coincidence: a woman is designed to nurture a child, a men is to provide for them. Of course, women are more emotional. But since they are, a woman's mental health greatly depends on external validation. A man can usually see the results of his own activities, and find satisfaction in it, let it be hard work, demo coding, painting Warhammer figures or just completing a videogame. Women aren't usually like that, and they need to be validated to feel complete.

I know, some of you have trouble distinguishing between "most" and read it as "absolutely all, without exception".

This is why women at workplaces seek all sorts of tangible achievements. Titles, awards, prizes, certificates. They also expect men to have such credentials, in order to accept them as valuable. As society shifted from male-dominated to what we have today, this kind of thinking became prevalent. But in fact, men would be fine without all of this shit. Back in the day, one could live a happy and prosperous life without ever having to go to the 4389th certification course, just so everybody believes they are a real plumber or mechanic or whatever.

Glöps are just meaningless score points on this website, which isn't the demoscene. Yet some of you seem to treat it as some absolute scale of demoscene-worthyness. This is because you crave external validation. You can't find satisfaction in your own productions. You're insecure about your status in the herd. And in the end, since you're an emotional being, you're not reasonable. And this has nothing to do with how well you code or do anything.

Meanwhile we, you know, (checks notes) toxic masculine far-right mysogynistic fascist alt-right transhomofurryphobic assholes (did I forgot something?) are just content with what we are, and don't think we need to prove you anything. Keep wanking at your glöps.

And now you think you absolutely need a witty comeback, instead of looking in the mirror.

Damn... Did I already surpassed the six kiloglöps mark?

@fizzer: I wish I could have just a thumb more than my current 1259. You know, as I often do AGA stuff, I love the 1260 number. :]
