"It's good that it's terrible" sure is a take.Holy wrote: ↑6 years ago I dunno, I don't have a problem with this level (besides the title). It sucks to see rao, like, past the end of his rope - but I don't think I've ever seen such a perfectly constructed disregard for all things fun in a video game before. It is not flashy, it is not like "hey check out how difficult this is," it is just plain, extremely basic, extremely tiresome Hard Thing. And I think that's cool.
EVEN BETTER that it impedes progress (to the red switch, at least). That gives it more impact.

In the context of YUMP, yeah.

I think raocow was playing this level mostly without the run button, but it definitely helps to use the run button:
raocow has been handling the hell levels pretty well up to now (neon city, etc.), so the fact that we ran into this barrier so late in the game is somewhat fortunate.
Re: YUMP - Yeah! Updated Mthe Pthread
I'm interested in YUMP for as many have said, the kind of weird creativity that comes out of allowing janky ideas to flourish. Part of the problem with this level is that it's just this completely one-note thing that goes way too far. It's like you have a album of weird experimental music, that doesn't always sound great but still has interesting use of meter or samples... Then you suddenly have one track that is just holding every single key on the keyboard simultaneously, with the volume cranked up so high as to physically hurt your eardrums.
It's not even the difficulty that gets to me, so much as how it's done. Just so monotonous, grinding you down by brute force.
Re: YUMP - Yeah! Updated Mthe Pthread
people are upset at a level
people are upset with a title
im disappointed in the rant near the end
when saying that you should stop making videos because you should "actually make an actual impact on actual people," you're directly insulting yourself and all of us
We're actual people.
You actually impact us.
i know this wasn't the intentions of the statment, and i know it was left in the video for "this is how upset the level made me" reasons, but still. it hurt.
I was in a bad mood when I made this post. Sorry.

He was saying that because he felt the video wouldn't be positively affecting any of his viewers. Not the people who come to him for happy go lucky good feels, not the people that enjoy angrycow, not the people that enjoy the interesting level design and his commentary on it, etc. He didn't feel the video really appealed to anyone. In his own words, "who is this video even for."

I know. I understood that. Like I said, I knew that wasn't the intentions of the statement.
But the sentiment comes off harsher once you hit the part of formatting the hard drive and changing jobs.
Other people in this thread have gone out of their way to reassure you in this thread for the same rant. That's a sign that I'm not the only one that felt it came off this way. I just felt hurt where they felt they should soothe.
which is selfish of me, but I by default don't soothe people for self deprecating when it hurts others due to personal experiences, sorry

Dude, the word is called "empathy". People feel bad because they see someone else feeling bad. Choosing to blame that person is bad judgement.Reb wrote: ↑6 years agoI know. I understood that. Like I said, I knew that wasn't the intentions of the statement.

I guess you'd rather raocow just be dishonest and hide his negative feelings so that you don't have to see them, but I don't think many would agree with you.

The Canyon of Spellcheck's Bane wasn't spectacular, but it seemed to actually be fun. Very YUMPy, unlike Gay Shit. Great to see raocow having fun again ^_^
Re: YUMP - Yeah! Updated Mthe Pthread
According to Idol and Lazy, if I'm understanding them correctly, levels like this were the original intention behind YUMP- something a random person who just found Lunar Magic might make and upload to YouTube as "MY FIRST MARIO LEVEL!!!" that is actually really, really bad and barely enjoyable if at all. But then others made interesting levels with the same aesthetic but actually cool gimmicks and ideas, and that ended up being the focus. Thus, people end up playing it and think "Oh man, it's a hack about cool ideas not held back by good visuals!" or "lol funny things :D" and then they hit the endgame and start getting furious about the legit awful levels and think they've been "lied" to, or that the quality's gone down.Classtoise wrote: ↑6 years agoI think it was supposed to be "aesthetically bad" as the gag with occasional questionable design decisions.Tyty wrote: ↑6 years ago So why was everyone non-sarcastically telling me this was a good hack again?
I think the super mixed messages during development were the problem here. "Supposed to be bad" "supposed to make people angry" and "janky and ugly but fun" are all VERY different ideas and it's kinda created a hack that's all over the place with some high highs and some -very- low lows. I'm kinda glad I'm not playing this, but I really feel bad raocow had to go through it.
I'm guessing whoever made this level blew someone and that's why his got accepted.
It's what makes me sad about YUMP. It went in with an identity, and came out as something no one can agree upon

Re: YUMP - Yeah! Updated Mthe Pthread
sammy?
why did you feel you had to complete **y Shit?
i mean.. ..don't get me wrong: being able to witness the "unfiltered," "family"-unfriendly version of you was, to proclaim the least of my Sentiments on the matter, exhilarating — even if this reveal came about, through, what surely had to be a PTSD-inducing experience for you
on the other hand: how many times, by now, have we-all collectively encouraged you, samuel, to cheese the very fuck out of a level that was shitty, or, was being shitty to you?
as, granted — it strikes me as being quite true, that a person with a little more finesse likely coulda bested that level in, maybe, 10, 20, 30 minutes...
and, i totes get it: sam, you felt, deep in you, you could finesse GS, with your own skill.
a sentiment, also, that is true.
as it is also correct, you coulda stopped playing it, as soon as you'd felt compelled to unleash your 2nd "f"-bomb
which really should be a new rule fer yuh — as soon as that 3rd "f***" comes flying from out of your lips, in spite of yourself, or when you play for 40 minutes, but already know you have only 15 minutes salvageable footage at that juncture — take a break.
move on to voxotron or copy kitty, or megaman x4, if you must
** p.s. — you-all should really be afraid, rather, if the raocow starts letting loose with the b-bomb, on
fuck "fuck" and "shit" — bitch almost always imparts more negative connotations, when employed, than those former two
