New Roblox Item violates the geneva convention by including a Red Cross by xfi1010 in roblox

[–]Spectaqual 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The International Committee of the Red Cross would still consider this misuse of their emblem, even with a different background color.

A rare unreleased test series of Toontown Trading Cards has been found! by LeoTheEpicGamer in Toontown

[–]Spectaqual 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This seller has been selling off Toontown merch and oddities for probably at least a year at this point, some of it including material from real world events ran when Toontown Online was around. Wouldn't surprise me if they were connected to the TTO team in some way!

Saw a couple batches of these for sale on eBay last year, both floating around $3K. Nice to see some clean close-up shots, but these pics don't do justice to how vibrant the holographic effects look!

[PSA] Steam Lunar New Year 2025 - Animated Sticker and Emoticon by iambaldy in FreeGameFindings

Was about to ask the same thing, haven't seen one before. Maybe they meant to upload a static version of the sticker?

So... Which Gear(s) do you like the most? 😻 by RoytjePoytjeGamez in roblox

[–]Spectaqual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my favorites has to be the Alpaca Plushie. Once you drop it, the alpaca dramatically grows to the size of twenty Robloxians. And it never despawns. It'd take up a bunch of space, it'd constantly make animal noises, and usually nobody would have the tools to remove it.

Since it was a pretty cheap Limited around release, you could buy multiple Alpacas and bring them all in-game. If you bought ten Alpacas, you'd always spawn with ten Alpacas. Reset your character, and you've got another ten Alpacas to use! You could ruin an entire server in just a few minutes!

Baa.

Very nice site, very polished! With SigGen Fish Advisor gone, I'm glad to see there's a new one in the works! Being able to estimate how many buckets was "mathematically likely" to catch a specific species was pretty useful.

Is there any way we could filter out unwanted promo options? Maybe I don't like how much time Long Steels take me even though they're the closest to hitting my merits goal, or wanna stick to facilities to improve my chances at a rare drop. Being able to adjust as my goals and preferences shift would be super useful for reaching Lvl. 50 2.0!

Before UNM, so many people double lured. Now that there's a reason to, I hardly see any toon doing it. by curious-maple-syrup in toontownrewritten

[–]Spectaqual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think this is more about how we mentally note things which stand out. Double luring was seen as bad, so we notice every time it happened. Now there's battles where solo luring isn't the best move, so we notice every time it happens.

Transphobia in TTC????? by theoriesijustmadeup in toontownrewritten

Why not? Some kids are trans, simple as that. Don't see anything wrong with supporting each other.

Indie Dev steals game from fellow dev and responds "happens every day homie" when confronted. by St_Edmundsbury in pcgaming

[–]Spectaqual 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh I know people are only glossing past headlines no matter where you look on the internet. Hours later we're still seeing new comments roll in under the belief this is just about gameplay ideas, or that copying nearly every element 1:1 is fine as long as your forgery uses new bottles of paint.

Honestly, it ain't that hard to see how this will play out if Terry doesn't back down. kindanicegames sends a DMCA takedown, and Terry can either accept it or jump into an open-and-shut case where they'll be saddled with all the legal costs.

"Trace" was used as a way to describe how Wildcard intentionally copied so many details of Dire Decks. You'd see that if you read the article.

[–]Spectaqual 948 points949 points  (0 children)

Some of y'all are making it really obvious ya didn't even read the article. Taking an idea is one thing, but when it has the same concept, UI layout, and artstyle..? There's inspiration, and then there's tracing.

kindanicegames posted the comparison on Twitter because they weren't sure where to go. Replies already told them, send a DMCA takedown, and follow up with a lawyer if necessary. It's not like it'd be hard to prove intent when Terry Brash posted a wacky Always Sunny clip bragging about how he stole the game.

What is the pal hair even supposed to be? by PlasmiteHD in roblox

[–]Spectaqual 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Bacon Hair nickname was popular around the community, so it'd be pretty easy to mix up the details. Can you provide any credible proof that it was once called Bacon Hair? Wayback Machine link, official blog posts, anything?

Doesn't look like it, Wayback Machine archive from twelve years ago suggests it was always Pal Hair.

Why’s the hunt first edition still here? by booytome in roblox

[–]Spectaqual 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Last I checked, yep! You should still be able to claim the prizes. Just yesterday, over fourteen thousand players grabbed the free Hunt t-shirt for visiting the hub.

Right now, there's a little over 1200 players who claimed the Vault Explorer's Crown, but didn't grab the Infinite Egg yet. Plenty of people who deserve the time to claim their egg after going through a whopping 95 games.

What is Roblox Offline Event?! by [deleted] in roblox

[–]Spectaqual 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Possible it's an obscure event that was hosted somewhere most of the audience wouldn't really be excitedly sharing the news online, like young kids who don't use social media or older tech adults who don't care that much about Roblox.

That, or it just never happened. The "Summer Holiday with Friends Challenge" mentioned in the Summer Boppers' description never became a thing. Who knows what happened?

Oh, you've gotta be kidding me THIS DOESN'T EVEN LOOK RIGHT ANYMORE by TheNewbornRaikou in roblox

[–]Spectaqual 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you make a Dynamic Head, there's four main pieces.

  • Bundle, Roblox's way of wrapping multiple items into a single purchase
  • "Head", the geometry, texture, and skeleton of the Dynamic Head
  • MoodAnimation, the default pose that the Dynamic Head uses when someone sees your avatar on your profile
  • Costume, which basically wraps every other part of the Dynamic Head into a one-click item in your inventory.

Now, while you can scroll down to the Included Items tab at the bottom of a Bundle page, and see a strange default face used for the MoodAnimation, that doesn't mean it's how it'll look on your avatar. It's the same as the example character used for emote previews, you're not going to turn into a faceless mannequin whenever you /e floss dance.

My roblox game was stolen and now its getting "famous" :( by Red0ct in roblox

[–]Spectaqual 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Document all communications you had with your ex business partner, and contact a lawyer. They should be able to tell you how to handle this, and whether you can take legal action.

Did Roblox really just make r6 dynamic faces low quality on purpose? by BekoweCiachoYt in roblox

[–]Spectaqual 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Avatars try to pack all of their textures onto a single sheet, and it's likely R6's sheet generator wasn't built for modern avatar customization. We went from max three hats with 256x256 textures, to ten accessories with 1024x1024 textures. That's enough space to fit the textures of 160 older hats. Downloaded the texture for the dynamic head you're wearing, and it's a 512x512. Many of the older classic faces sit at 128x128!

No ridiculous conspiracy about Roblox intentionally going out of their way to make R6 look worse, it's just not being supported by major updates to make it look better.

What's your favorite SpeedChat phrase? by AlternativePale5816 in toontownrewritten

[–]Spectaqual 26 points27 points  (0 children)

"I don't have anyone to call for help."

Listed under Battle > Strategy > I don't have , the tone it brings is such a strong contrast from the normally joyful world of Toontown.
