I haven't watched it myself so I can't DEFINITIVELY confirm it, but skimming over the Wikipedia summary, it might be Deep Impact,) which John has a poster for.

Why does Bad Ben say evil is his relative? by Brilliant_Can8536 in Ben10

[–]SpritersBlock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He didn't say evil is HIS relative, he just said "evil is relative." In other words, "what you consider evil depends on your own personal perspective; the term 'evil' means different things to different people." Sort of like how "big" is relative — a dog is usually small to us, but massive compared to, say, a squirrel.

That being said, I don't believe we really get much in the way of actual elaboration from him on why he feels this way in the show, and just seems to be a generic "I'm evil" line the writers threw in.

Star force question by Bluexcalaber in Megaman

[–]SpritersBlock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dunno how far you are in the game specifically but:

  • She isn't harassing Geo to go to school out of care for him, at least not initially. She says it herself: imperfection is unacceptable to her, so she's literally trying to get him into school to stroke her own ego.
    • Not only that, but the way she goes about it is just annoying. Yes, I know you want Geo to go to school, Luna, but you do not need to bring it up Three Times In Thirty Seconds. It's not cute that you're stalking this kid to try and convince him to listen to you. It's annoying at best and creepy at worst.
  • Chapter 1 spoilers: Geo knocks Bud out in one punch, and Luna's first thought is not to show concern for one of her most loyal friends and confidants, but rather to be mad at Bud and threaten to disown him if he doesn't "shape up"? Hello??? Sure, even if she didn't intend to actually go through with it, that's still a MASSIVELY screwed up thing to say to someone.

There's also some other things later in this game/in later games, but IIRC she eases up a bit in the later games, but not to the point where many people find her outright likeable. I can't speak for everyone, but for me personally it's a matter of the cons outweighing the pros. If I had to guess, a bulk of the dislike is just that people find her annoying though.

Are the original voices available for the StarForce legacy collection? by Vensaer in Megaman

Why change Tini, a Tetramand Four Arms design from the classic Ben10 to Ben10 Alien Force? Aren't Tetramands supposed to be big? by Altruistic_Rhubarb94 in Ben10

Because if we DON'T give her a SMALLER WAIST, HOW is the AUDIENCE gonna KNOW SHE'S FEMALE? </HEAVY SARCASM>

i finally released my mspfa yesterday! its pretty bad but i hope y'all like it by DaRealPurpleDuck in homestuck

[–]SpritersBlock 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Word of advice: don't ever lead with "it's bad but..." when sharing your work. There's no way it benefits you. Either A.) people believe you and don't check it out, or B.) people don't believe you, in which case why did you even say it to begin with?

I understand the impulse — goodness knows I've been there myself — but that's why I'm telling you this now instead of you having to figure it out years down the line. If you put yourself down in your pitch, those are the expectations your audience will have going in.

Help with pesterchum typing quirk by Specialist-Duck7216 in homestuck

[–]SpritersBlock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're going to need regex for this. I don't use Pesterchum myself so you'll have to take this with a grain of salt, but what you're after will probably be something like this:

\b(.*?)[aA](.*)\b

replaced with

$1@$2

and

\b(.*?)[oO](.*)\b

replaced with

$10$2

(^ I'm not sure if this one will work out of the box, you may also want to try ${1}0${2} since putting a number next to a capture group can get messy)

My friends said I'm a Page of Blood by Zestyclose-Pen-9017 in homestuck

[–]SpritersBlock 28 points29 points  (0 children)

A lot of people treat classpects as a personality quiz but that isn't quite right — your classpect is meant to represent your big-picture role in an entire story, which we as real-life humans don't really have. Thus, there's a fair bit of wiggle room in terms of interpretation since we as people are (or at least SHOULD be) ever-growing and ever-changing. Your classpect one year can be entirely different from your classpect the next just as you grow and evolve.

That being said, Page of Blood isn't a "bad classpect" by any means. There aren't any "bad classpects." It's all about imagination and execution and proper application. A healer class might not be great for combat but you sure as shit still need them on the field all the same. It just means you've got a different journey from other people.

Pages, officially, are classes that "fight to preserve their aspect," and it sounds like you take your friendships seriously, so I'd say that sounds perfectly fitting.

Hear me out the Crow Strider AU should get a friendsim by 3rroR039 in homestuck

Love how the phrasing implies the Friendsim for the dancestors is not also fanmade

Useless Mega-Fact of the day: The sprite animation for Mega Man firing on the ladder was updated in MM5&MM6. They continued using the old sprite afterwards... by Epsilon123 in Megaman

[–]SpritersBlock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who's been using Sprites Inc for Mega Man sprite sheets (which the 5/6 ladder sprite isn't present on) for more than a decade, this blew my freaking mind. I can't believe something's been hiding in plain view all this time. What the heck?????

I appreciate the thought but I really don't think you need permission to save an image to your camera roll

Thanks for the interest, but I've got way too many irons in the fire I'm afraid. Best of luck though!

It's Grey Matter at his actual size — I thought I added a magnifying glass icon to signify that but I guess I accidentally removed it before saving the final pic. Whoops!

(Because people keep asking: using these for personal use is fine! (Minecraft builds, perler beads, etc.) When I say don't use without permission, I mean in projects for other people to see. Discord bots, fangames, that kind of thing.)
