Don’t the new 360s shut down before they get an RROD?

I have the new one, they usually don’t even get close to a RROD.

That’s because the new Xbox’s don’t come with red lights.

The RROD was caused by overheating and the newer Xbox has solved that problem.

Topic: Kongregate / what is the pioint of making friends on Kon?

They replace the friends you don’t have in real life. At least mine do (kinda).

By the time you actually get an account with 100k posts it will surely be possible.

Topic: Off-topic / The Touhou Thread

Does degradation start from the very top, or somewhere in the middle?

Degradation will start about 125 pixels from the top – the same place auto-collect kicks in.

I also think that with such a perk enemies being destroyed on touch is not a very good idea, as that would be completely overpowered. And even without killing enemies this skill can be exploited in boss fights – if bullets come from a source other than somewhere from the center of the boss, you could simply stay inside him~.

Position will be completely irrelevant during boss fights – there will always be a bullet heading your direction. Anyway, the bonuses will be programmed absolutely last so I have time to alter them once the other mechanics become established.

I am working on sprites right now and I really don’t want to draw them. =/

Nothing. That is the story of my life.

My hand smells like chicken noodle soup.

No really, it does. It’s weird.

Topic: Off-topic / The Touhou Thread

And how many pixels does a normal hitbox take up?

Normal hitbox is either 4×4 or 3×3. I have yet to draw the sprites. Once I draw them I will confirm a number. (Keeping in mind the game window is larger than the Touhou game windows).

How much smaller is the hitbox for Hiro?

The bonus reduces it by 1×1.

Also – those attack names tell nothing. Will you add some kind of description to each one in the future?

The attack names are temporary. Descriptions of what each one does will be lying around the instructions somewhere, but it won’t be something that is given to you. You can call it motivation to play each of the stories and find out for yourself.

Also – what’s "point degradation in regards to position?

Points are worth less the lower down you are on the screen. This percentage will probably drop around 1% every 2-3 pixels depending on the algorithm I choose to use. This bonus will reduce that percentage by a certain amount.

Balance hasn’t been worked out yet, so this bonus is subject to change.

Also – does colliding into enemies destroy them? And what is the penalty for colliding? Points/multiplyer/whatever decrease or death?

Colliding into certain enemies destroys them, but it also causes you to lose points. You won’t lose points with the bonus. I haven’t created a multiplier yet, but it will most likely reset that as well. Thinking about it, I may not have it destroy enemies.

EDIT: Bonus points if you can name who each character is influenced from =D

Well, I didn’t know you were a troll till I looked at your profile, because you have deleoper sign.

Fixed for accuracy.

They aren’t giving it to morons now, but it has become a popularity contest.

Topic: Kongregate / the "feel" of Kong

I’ve seen the website change many times as well. The things that make it worse are when users complain about the changes, not the changes themselves. It is the attitude of these people that releases this “stink” that spreads and makes the rest of the website stink. Taking the users out of consideration, this website feels exactly the same as it did when I first join back in 2008. What makes it feel different now is the sheer amount of users on the forums expressing their disapproval of necessary steps to keep Kongregate running and free for those who don’t want to pay to play the games.

I agree that some of the changes that have been made are not ones I would have made myself if I were running this website, but as they had no bearing on the core fun of playing games on this website I learned to embrace the changes and grow with them.

If/when the day comes that something changes on this website that I don’t like, I will quietly pack up my bags and leave. I will send my feedback of the changes via the “Feedback/Contact Us” feature, but I won’t go causing commotion in the forums. The voice of the people is a powerful thing and something that most successful businesses strive to listen to, but when this voice makes the company out to be this negative entity it ruins the community and it makes you look childish and immature; not only that, if you try and harass a company about recent changes I can guarantee that they will just ignore you.

TL:DR Version: Arrogant children that whine about features that don’t even affect them are the people who are ruining this website, not Kongregate. If you don’t like the website, leave. We don’t want to hear your QQing.

If I knew, perhaps I might have them.

Topic: Off-topic / Anime Addicts Anonymous

I don’t understand what you took from that joke. The Bleach manga is at its final arc, and the arcs have been known to take forever to end. What did I say that had to do with anime?

Topic: Off-topic / Why nobody takes fantasy writing seriously?

I don’t take fantasy writing seriously because it is considered a style where you need to reinvent the wheel. Most people can’t create enough material to make the world believable (or they try too hard to and make inconsistencies) and it usually fails to engage me.

Topic: Off-topic / Do You Have A Game That You Like Which Was Poorly Received?

All the games I have that I would actually pay 60 bucks for are generally well received.

Topic: Off-topic / Anime Addicts Anonymous

Escapist Magazine just released an article saying the Bleach manga is finally coming to an end. I guess that means there will only be another 3 more years of manga left.

Topic: Off-topic / Anime Addicts Anonymous

Indeed, it is the Toradora! syndrome. I was just bored — so bored out of my mind I went to Fakku and found the hentai having more plot and getting intrigued by it. That kind of boredom.

You may or may not know this about me already, but I don’t necessarily watch shows for the plot. It annoys me when a show tries to make a plot and fails, but if the plot is never established to begin with I don’t mind if there isn’t one. I found the artwork for Nichijou charming and the one clip I watched on youtube managed to keep me entertained.

And we must remember School Days. There is no hero that wants to save people — just crazy lovable people who need to be put into an asylum, maintained by Nurse Ratched.

I’d totally watch that.

This work would forever be one of my favorite works of all time.

Agreed.
