NG had some updates this week!

Audio Update

@PsychoGoldfish updated our Takeover Tuesday listings to allow you to play audio back-to-back in-page, like other audio lists on the site. To play audio in-page, click the audio thumbnail instead of the text link. Listen to this week’s Takeover Tuesday audio for an example.

Soon audio lists will start entries from the beginning if loaded as the next item in a list. Our traditional functionality resumes audio where you left off and it will still do that if you do something like leave an audio page and come back. It made for awkward playlist listening experiences, though, where sometimes the next song in the list would start in the middle or near the end, because you had previously listened to some of it. This didn’t deploy yet but expect it next week.

Reminder: Newgrounds can’t host movies and games with unlicensed commercial music! Please use the Audio Portal as a resource for your projects, I really can’t stress this enough. Songs on NG will note if they have a Creative Commons license and if they don’t, you can try reaching out to the individual artists. A lot of people here would even love to make original music for projects!

Movie & Game Under Judgment Update

We made some tweaks to the Judgment process this week, reducing the max vote threshold to 60 and raising the blam threshold from < 1.75 to < 2.00. This means entries will finish judgment more quickly and get blammed (removed) more frequently.

December Events

There are a lot of events happening, please browse the Calendar and see if there’s something you’d like to participate in!

Tankmas ADVENTure is back this year and updating daily with new art gifts and medals to collect.

@Casanova made wall art so nice, they made it twice! The site skin was updated today to include a bunch more characters from 2024.

This is the time of year for holiday cheer but it often ends up being a time of anxiety and existential dread. If you’re feeling sad, you aren’t alone! Try to keep up healthy habits and make time for exercise. If you aren’t getting much sunlight, consider a Vitamin D supplement and a Vitamin K supplement to help with D absorption.

Voting for the Best of November starts tomorrow! If you’re in the judging pool you’ll receive an invite from P-Bot.

Tankmas has been SUPER FUN this year so far!! Major props to the team for makin' it happen and I've been grateful for bein' able to help out where I can. It's always a bumpy ride but an oh-so-fun one. I think the people that love it the most like me must just miss Club Penguin? Anyway, it's a great seasonal depression battler!

Congrats to the Horizonauts team as well and thanks to NG staff for the cool recent updates!

Anyway, it does remind me of Club Penguin, hey it gives me an idea for a forum discussion! Unfortunatly, I grew up with the later quarter of the original Club Penguin.

We just need a NSFW checkbox that overrides the rating and makes it A rated.

IMO that is not a good idea, because for instance, most of the time I have the A rating crossed out, but I still watch the less lewd spicy content or pinups for eye candy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's great that the pure NSFW and softcore stuff is separated rn.

After a certain point, especially fetishy M should just be put under porn

Also counterpoint: I like this kind of spicy content, but maybe furries should have their own rating so i dont see the porn i dont like... kind of starts a rabbit hole and where do you stop? Usually, if it's M, if it's lewd, if it's good? those dont get the complaints

So I guess the best solution would be to create a whole new category for lewd and porn submissions with its own independent set of content ratings.

I'd stick with the NSFW checkbox. it's more "protect the kids" oriented rather than your idea which has more of a "additional filter for adults" vibe
