Really like the fact that this is equating Todd Howard with Hitler and Stalin.

Not if it's in MS Paint!

Your MCA is giving me bedroom eyes.

Anyway, I gave you a goldfist. Don't spend it all in one place.

Sorry fellas, but demanding to know whether or not Lagole Gon's entry was really made in MS Paint only underlines how threatening it is due to its creator's obvious artistic technical skill.

There's very little reason to believe that it wasn't made in MS Paint, as there is no evidence of what you might call "automated tools/processes" or "advanced computer assistance" (drop shadows, perspective warping, lensing, noise addition, special effect filters, etc). At most, basic shape and brush tools (and possibly font art, which Paint has) were used, which an actual artist doesn't really need anyway. It could have been made with colored pencils, art markers, or crayons for that matter, and it would look about the same. It's basic, simple outlines and flat colors used, well, artistically.

I work with CorelDRAW and several CAD programs on the daily, I am not an artist (I'm a technical draftsman), and I use just about every computer drawing aid there is. Not a one would help me create that piece, even if I had the skill to create it, which I don't.

The righteous need not cower before the drumbeat of human progress. Though the song of yesterday fades into the challenge of tomorrow, God still watches and judges us. Decline lurks in the AAA-title-grade pic of Lagole as it lurked in postmodern art of yesteryear. But it was never the tablet that was evil.

I think I have to clarify that the 'toilet' that the image is referring to refers to the so called society the rpgcodex exists in and not the rpgcodex itself.
Pardon me, sir. I believe you have this pictures thread confused with a words thread.

It's kind of like entering this into a meme contest:

You are right. I intended to add (visuals) to it later, but I didn't get around to it.

The competition is closed.

The judges have conferred and made a decision. The results are as follows:

$100 Winner
https://rpgcodex.net/gallery.php?image=17774

$75 Second-Place
https://rpgcodex.net/gallery.php?image=17745

$50 Runner-Ups
https://rpgcodex.net/gallery.php?image=17787
https://rpgcodex.net/gallery.php?image=17743

$20 Participation Trophy
https://rpgcodex.net/gallery.php?image=17768
https://rpgcodex.net/gallery.php?image=17704
https://rpgcodex.net/gallery.php?image=17737

Yes, while Lagole Gon's was a grand result, quixotic spoke more to our hearts with Lagole coming in at second place.

Kev Inkline, and Wild Slop's efforts were worthy of consideration.

With Darkozric, KörangarTheMighty, and Bigg Boss winning participation prizes for their efforts.

All winners should PM me about their prizes. The Codex will buy them a GOG game of their choice or contribute to their Steam wallet up to the amount nominated.

This one was one of my favourites, shame that it didn't win even 20$ prize but prizes went to people who just used old memes and copy-pasted RPG devs over it for example. I would like to see how each staff member voted so I would know who has good taste and who is Infinitron.

Anyway, congrats to most winners.

The choice of winners is odd, shameful even. I mean, what's so mental about this place? If anything, it's the other forums like resetera deserve such portrayal. Top2 look great but barely qualify as ms paint competitor. Runner-ups regurgitate memes - meh.

Imo the one Goral reposted above or some other, more wild ones should've taken the top. Thus, among the winners I liked the one from KörangarTheMighty the most.

Among the winners I would say Lagole Gon's and Darkosric's were clearly the best,not sure why all the others got prizes,there were probably better ones
