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.

,
TrumpDisgusting.png
,
rating_shit.png
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 :shitandpiss: in button form.
Reiszed to 22×22 pixels and repainted the eyes to not be blurry at that resolution:

The western road to Erromon.
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?

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.

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. :M

I'm trying to improve the SHODAN logo using this Untitled.png (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
Untitled.png

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:

What's the point of the shodan button? We already have
crazyrobot.gif
. Many good buttons have two or more meanings, like
gay.png
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
thumbs-down.png
and
creative.png
.

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?
