Cyberdevil's Reviews

[Tifa missionary]

You convey the pleasure well! Smooth loop, a little short and similar all the way, but good... the face, the fingers, the details add to the scene... good stuff.

Sanmie3D responds:

Thank you for the feedback.

This was only a small side project and therefore I needed to cut it a little short.
But I'm planning on doing longer stuff in the future :)

[Pfp speedpaint]

That hair really took some time! Impressed with the patience on that part.

Solid PFP overall!

[Jill Valentine in her apartment]

Looking smooth! A little static action; not that much expression - a little more sense of pleasure would've been nice to percieve... but the models are great! Nice work.

[awesome calculator]

Just missing that Cantaloupe medal now hmmm, wonder if it is entirely random or a clue in itself; there's a certain form of equation that'd award that one...

Math's never been my forte, but good fun! Nostalgic XP visuals are a nice touch too, and how the frame shakes during calculation; seemingly implying the calculator's really trying to process a complex problem, even with the simplest ones... nice comedic flare there.

Just may be the greatest calculator on NG fo rizzle.

Deaen responds:

it's random, there's a chance it shows up instead of a result, it's a stupid medal but it's a reference to something else

[Windows 7 (1996)]

This is more like Windows 98 than Windows 7 isn't it, wrong title? ;)

Realistic representation of the OS though! And the sounds are there... fun; nostalgic little gadget.

[Peppa Pig Clicker]

Simple but fun! And no lag, which a lot of these clickers unfortunately have. :)

The fact that you can't actually click on 'Click Here!' is kinda strange though isn't it? Seems it should say 'Click on Peppa' or something such. Otherwise it's on point, the interface is clean, the ambient animation looks good, the character's smoothly drawn too...

Good stuff!

ElRandomGMD responds:

If you press in the 'Click Here' button, you can unlock a secret medal.

[Little-Rena / 6 / A200]

Aaa don't do me like that @Little-Rena! XD How and why did that potential for mutual NG OG recognition of coolness and comradery somehow wane away! Maybe it's the pineapple on pizza thing hmm...

Do appreciate the answers though, the humor, and this interview overall. Solid historical NG know-how, stories, deep-dive into culture and content and all from one of the most prolific content contributors here at the mo (you are leading the trophy count fo rizzle)!

Interesting bit on Hive-Clock history, didn't realize that was such an old account. And you've been apparently really lucky with Flash Rena! Crashes seem to happen with every project I work on, file corruptions less commonly but they do occur, bit surprising Adobe never implemented at least some auto-save functionality with the program.

In regard to that one vote per submission per account thing so much changed when they added that too, though it definitely was a good change. The order on the Top 50 shifted entirely, submissions that'd both been gradually upvoted and downvoted by the same users for years and years swapped places, and with only votes from a recent range of years now counting for all submissions, a lot of older ones suddenly had zero votes at all, especially in the AP, as old votes on those submissions weren't linked to user accounts. Took some time for all of that to stabilize.

Love the Knox throwback, I wish his movie dubs were still a thing too, on YouTube maybe they could be... they're some of the funnest content I've stumbled here to this day. And MiniClip was amazing fo shizzle, though a shame they cleared out all Flash games on their own site, they're fortunately still on NG. ArmorGames was a real force to be reckoned with too in that Flash game heyday, maybe they were they biggest two.

lmao at that Futanari discussion. XD I do appreciate your honesty @Aalasteir!

On the topic of Flash decompilers: I had to try one the other day actually when a project I was working on CRASHED on project preview. Fortunately the preview SWF was fine. Not sure how well any decompilers get around the built-in protection Flash has - you can choose to 'protect' a Flash file from import when you export it - but at least without that feature enabled this one worked really well: https://github.com/jindrapetrik/jpexs-decompiler

Though you lose directory structure with things like this, so it's harder to make sense of how everything fits together if you plan to actually do something with the entirety of it. Good for saving individual resources or getting an overview on code though.

lmao the conversation on potential gayness too! XD

Good info on all them ALTs too! Impressive number, had forgotten Noob Nation...

Nice convo y'all, and art @TheShokBlok!

So much substance in this one.

[Dark Trance Prev]

The rhythm's on point, the build, synth or strings humming with a gradually increasing buzz as you near the big drop... the keys/chords that get added in around the 44 second mark though... feel a little out of sync with the underlying beat? Maybe they really aren't, maybe that particular instrument just gives that impression; there's some kind of sonic delay ingrained in it, but it really feels to me like they're slightly off beat with each hit - a bit too late. The other layers sync well, and you really do get into the grove after a while! Good energy.

I like the instrumentation around the 4:22 mark in particular, gets crazy in a good way and builds and builds and builds... and fades nicely... and builds again! And drops nicely. The transitions are great.

Maybe the intro could be a bit less gradual, or build more notably, it takes a while before you really get into it, and the slightly off sync keys distract me a bit, other than that this is good! Proper sound quality and bass too, though a little compact possibly, I'm no production pro so I wouldn't know the first thing to adjust, but a little more space and richness with the sound might take it to the next level. Maybe you could play a bit with panning on the transitions too? Seems that might work well with this kind of music.

The style reminds me a bit of some kind of mix between Prodigy and Aphex Twin... which is always a good thing.

Very solid start! If you didn't say so I wouldn't have known this was just a preview, it plays like a full-fledged track already. :)

[ChillyBite / 5 / A200]

Australia does seem pretty awesome! Home to some of the coolest dudes in the world. Hemsworth (the multiple), Crocodile Dundee, Dom Tomato & co, certain creative Internet icons on the greatest slumbering social media and content community of all time... should've asked more about life there hmm, seems it can be a dangerous place to live too though. Ever had any deadly arachnids or smaller if not lethal maybe at least uncomfortable-to-encounter animals reside in your shoes? Memorably wild experiences with either local people or animalia? Maybe something for another episode...

Glad you got away from them substances anyhow, sounds like you've experienced quite a bit. And hell yeah re:NG. Competition pales in comparison. I'm confounded by how more people don't end up choosing this over other more soulless social media, but at the same time glad the rest of the Internet doesn't flock here en masse, I'm sure NG could manage more, but at some point of popularity you'd probably lose some of that so essential consumer/content creator connection that also makes this place so unique...

Great talk y'all, plenty of both controversial and creative points of conversation, critical and oftentimes (IMHO) very astute worldview rambles, and all honest answers @ChillyBite!

Nice work @Aalasteir too on keeping all flowing; active listening and hosting!

Didn't feel like a full two hours at all.

EDIT: I missed the spider comments apparently! My bad, attentiveness must've slipped somewhere... nice art here too btw @TheShokBlok!
-cd-

Aalasteir responds:

I'm always happy to see you, @Cyberdevil. I fully agree! It's generous of Chilly to share his experiences and what it's like to live in Australia. He did speak of the spiders that you have to watch out for! It's great that people are choosing our community over all of those soulless social media platforms. We are on the right track!

Thank you so much, @Cyberdevil.

[Relius Clover (8/36)]

Divine light falling in from above, looks like a powerful character...

The fingers seem a little oddly wonky maybe, otherwise this is great. Nice work.

[Can Shalltear even get pregnant?]

Can't be absolute sure if you don't give it a try though huh. :P

Saucy scene, nicely drawn!

PsamaH responds:

That's the plan!

[Commission]

Rangiku's hair looking longer than ever here hmm, do hope they give the Bleach anime a proper reboot some day too! Twas a good one. Beautiful work here.

I'm glad you like it
