KickStarter We need more buttons

[Habichtswalder]

Yo why did they remove Dr Mario version of "take your meds" over a soulless and inexpressive one? Boring.

The clues are all in front of you. This innocuous post in which I unconditionally praise Dr. Mario seems at first glance to be unremarkable, but look closer. DarkUnderlord himself reacted with a "Makes you think". Combine this with the obvious fact of my own growing Codexian influence (see: fully 6 "Yes!" reactions flocking to my banner) and it all falls into place. DU felt that control is slipping away from him; that despite his virtuous and correct selection of the universally loved Dr. Mario icon, it would become a symbol not of his own good judgement, but of my excellent taste and superior insight. The situation indeed "Made him think" and he realized that in the face of such a public disaster, his only move was a show of strength. He knew that Dr. Mario and myself were now inextricably allied, and that substituting the dull and unfunny "What is that? A battery? x1" button in Dr. Mario's place would recement his legacy for another generation. The suffering of the citizens of the Codex meant nothing. He must maintain control at any cost. My agenda would have come to fruition if I had only the wisdom to remain silent; the failure was mine in underestimating DU's political acumen. Once again he was right. It was the only choice.

Maybe DU is slowly swapping buttons to inferior versions because they want to sell skins for buttons in the future. Want to look your "Take your meds" like Dr. Mario and not like a lame bottle? Sure, it's just 2,50!

Who knows, tomorrow we might wake up and there is a horse armor button.

I often find myself wishing that there was a puke button, disgusting usually doesn't convey the severity of how unpleasant I find a lot of things.

To bring this thread back on track, I think with the the games industry and the world is going I think we need more nuanced ways to express our disgust.

,

and

alone are simply not going to be enough going forward. To that end I propose the following addition:

It would also be useful to have in button form.

Reiszed to 22×22 pixels and repainted the eyes to not be blurry at that resolution:

Looks awsome man. It's a slamdunk!

The Codexian will do anything to avoid remembering the little amber friends that await them morning, noon and night. They must be reminded that taking their medication is not a puzzle game, but an essential part of their routine. In time it will all feel normal again.

Actually, why isn't there a horse armour button?

DarkUnderlord how big of a campaign donation would it take to convince you to add the puke button that we desperately need as a community

 

[Kev Inkline]

Edit: Also, the Eldritch Horrors button looks more like Zuckerberg than Lovecraft at that scale.

It's the same guy, both of them.

 

[ds]

x1 People will buy anything

 

[anvi]

x1 People will buy anything

Haha that one is amazing

 

[KafkaBot]

Lovecraft button is still a bit too blurry, so it's just a slight improvement over the Peter Griffin version, but removing Dr. Mario is pure decline.

At this rate, next thing we know they'll replace the Chris Avellone button with David Gaider.

 

[damager]

Don't give DU ideas man

 

[Semiurge]

Man who removed Dr Mario? That was the best button

You guys know what humor is?

Is this a kiddie forum, or a forum where all hail to the King Duke?

That's right, fagito.

Shut up Semenurge

Omg you have to bring back man made horrors. New icon or not.

It needs to say man-made horrors. That was better. I had to google what eldrich is and it said, "Unearthly, alien, supernatural, weird, spooky, eerie." which I don't like because it passes the blame to the supernatural. They are man-made horrors! These men must not be allowed to forget the horrors they have made.

Anyone familiar with the writings of H.P. Lovecraft, a category in which all Codexers should fall, will also be familiar with the terms "eldritch", "cyclopean", and "non-euclidean".

Edit: Also, the Eldritch Horrors button looks more like Zuckerberg than Lovecraft at that scale.

Even more of an eldritch horrors button than H.P. Lovecraft.

 

[KörangarTheMighty]

Nah, if you're gonna get a Zuckerberg head it needs to replace Shodan. He is an actual synth after all.

 

[Morenatsu.]

people who take medication are equal to and probably are nintentards so i dont see what the problem with mario was

 

[Twiglard]

I'm trying to improve the SHODAN logo using this (click on it) as the base image but it's a bit difficult. I think it needs more contrast and a bit of sharpening prior to downscaling but I'm not happy with the result either.

Attempt #1

Attempt #2

Anyway I won't be barging in pushing my changes unless there's a major clear improvement.

Maybe try an unsharp mask filter on the scaled result:

Still alr way better

bring back mario

 

[Bruma Hobo]

What's the point of the shodan button? We already have

. Many good buttons have two or more meanings, like

being about both optimism and homosexuality, and even globohomo and other forms of sexual degeneracy, like pedophilia and bestiality. You don't really need a different button for each and every need. And I know System Shock is a classy game, but let it go man.

We have also many old buttons that are underused, redundant and worthless, like

and

.

Maybe it would be easier to use the System Shock 1 version of her, since she is mostly a light grey that has better contrast with the colors of the Codex.

And could you or DU please elaborate on why Dr. Mario is gone?

I need a questionmark button for strange propositions like this
