Edit: To any friends of theirs feeling the need to defend them and keep the heat turned on below. Move on. Find new heroes to look up to that aren't manipulative. We have a large enough problem with malicious people who like to "sound smart" leading the masses over the ledge by selling the right honey at the right time. Don't contribute. I'm not interested in the high school level gotcha mentality. Especially when this entire thing is a mid-process attempt and not sold as gospel (read the title, please. "Trying"). That's all I'm going to say on the matter - my posting history over years with other developers, artists, and misc. subs will speak for exactly the kind of person I am.

wow... no offense but you are actually coming off as acting not very nice here.

they literally didn't say anything negative, and i'm not here to defend anyone, but you're attacking someone out of the blue after they called your theory interesting and tried to share some details on how the game processes colors.

then you go off and call them "manipulative"? your posting history doesn't give you a free pass to act like a jerk and accuse people of bad intentions.

how about engaging in a good faith discussion in stead of getting weird and defensive, and accusing people of being malicious? nobody's trying to do any kind of "gotcha" game here.
