I think this is considered...shovelware? It also says it's from kidzeeonlinegames.com so I'm pretty sure it's stolen as well! Really sorry if false report!

Account was set up by someone who has been doing this literally for years. Thus, (@gamejunkie), it has been forwarded for deletion. Remember what I said about not fanning everyone because some are thieves and undesirables? Look again. @AitlonNeto is another one who, annoyingly, fans everyone, whether they're thieves or undesirables or just users who have no content at all. This encourages the bad people, and shows an incredible lack of judgement or naivety. If you plan on fanning everyone, he's got quite a start on you.

I'm so sorry dude! I fanned that account before I had an idea about shovelware or anything!

I will take care on who I fan from now on, sorry for messing up! My goal was just to motivate everybody by letting them now that there is somebody out there who likes their account and supports them! I will take care now and watch out for the thieves!

Apology to the military!

I've moved past that the moment it happened. I was never upset in the first place so there wasn't anything to get past. If we are to work together as a team though I do ask that you unblock me so when the time comes and I need help from you as a moderator I have that as an option. (Especially since I've never even messaged or commented on anything of yours!)

I only suggest this because I needed to ask you a question the other day and couldn't. You were the only one on at the time, but my inner connections got the job done.

Well, I haven't been giving you the stink eye or anything, but you did say some pretty hateful stuff. Forget about it though. Nothing to be gained from revisiting that moment in time.

Already done a while ago when I realized your posts were showing up as ...'s instead of actual posts. I actually don't recall blocking you. I was locked out of my account for a few days suspiciously after a round of modding. Took me a couple days just to get my password reset and get back in. Went through all my settings and my sentbox/super sekrit mod logs, and nothing was changed. I probably did get irritated and block you just so I wouldn't be tempted to further make an ass out of us both.

Eh, I'm moody. Don't think anything of it, I have my ups and downs. I usually don't let it effect me professionally. There was the one time that I told a coworker I hoped that they got hit by a bus. HR didn't like that, but I promised them it was an empty threat as my hometown at the time didn't even have a public bus system.

They ended up excusing it when they found out that I was calling the person out for making racist comments.

I can't remember the exact time that I needed to ask you a question. Perhaps two or three days ago, but as of last night and this morning I was still barred from messaging you. I was going to message you an apology of sorts, but I've got my pride back from that moment. Too late! :P

It's cleared up now and the communication gates seem to be open.

Same. To be fair, I was on my period and having a really, reeeeally bad day, and we got off on the wrong foot. Plus I have a very severe personality.

There was the one time that I told a coworker I hoped that they got hit by a bus. HR didn't like that, but I promised them it was an empty threat as my hometown at the time didn't even have a public bus system.

Once upon a time, in a land far away, with nary a public bus to be seen, there came a runaway charter and blasted my coworker to smithereens.

They ended up excusing it when they found out that I was calling the person out for making racist comments.

On one hand, hit and run seems extreme. On the other, depends on how racist.

My family quietly champions my uncle whenever I shut him down about constantly saying n****r and spouting garbage like 'black people have an average of 85 IQ' and 'Asians are smarter than everyone'. I'm convinced they're two ideological half-steps from Mein Kampf; just replace every instance of Jew with the N word.

It's common knowledge that the more intelligent we perceive something or someone to be, the more humanely we're inclined to treat them. Wish there was mental help for this stuff. All the condemnation and hatred in the world is just making it worse. People are saying, "See? I told you they're out to get us," and they don't see how screwed up their worldview is.

Ah, but is it? It's the thought, of sorts, that counts. Although, I suppose I should just get it out: I'm sorry for wasting our time, essentially calling you an intolerant hypocrite when things got ugly, blocking you, and then forgetting I blocked you. And I mean that, but it probably is for the best. Gave time for my snowflake emotions to chill, and now that I actually know a little more about your personality than just seeing you in passing and the occasional forum reply, I know what to expect.

It's cleared up now and the communication gates seem to be open.

Yeah, all green. No hard feelings. And welcome back, by the way, if I haven't said so already.

It does my heart good to see that @ADR3-N and @Fro have worked out any past issues and are now getting along again. It was handled in a very professional and positive manner, which is consistent with the high level of respect we all give - and receive - here at the Barracks.

Thank you both for that resolution - a perfect example of how to work out differences.

Now, enough of the mushy stuff - time to get back to the front lines!

A general thank you to everyone who's welcomed me back. Another general thank you to anyone who may welcome me back after this. (That should cover everything)

So a random topic. I'm currently organizing massive lists of icons that still need to be created for newgrounds. I knock a few off the list myself every now and then, but I had hundreds in their place. I'm looking for volunteers to make icons. Anyone have any ideas?

If anyone wants to help you can upload them to a project and add me as a manager. I'll update you with sizes and how-to information if interested.

Even you ADR3-N... you have submissions that need icons! I know you aren't the main author of some of them, but there's at least 1 where you are. If I have to make them they will be of my choosing.

My last couple of weeks could be defined as reeeeallly bad, but later last week and this week I've been feeling good. I was in my foggy state of depression for a little bit there. We just moved, 3,000 miles across the country, and to find out that we hadn't done our finances correctly when figuring in what we could/couldn't afford. We've had massive cutbacks at home. I'm frequently hungry from not eating enough and stressed out scrapping together every single $ I can find to cover bills. So far we've been alright, but this time next month I've used up my life savings.

So I've been searching for a 2nd job, which sucks because for the first time I have a high paying, low stress 7-4 computer job and I've really been enjoying having all of the free time with my family in the evenings/weekends. I really only need to make another $10 a day to cut it so I tried Lyft and Uber, but they have regulations about how my old license just expired and my new one is so new. Apparently I could sign up for one of them if my old one didn't just expire, but because of the timing I don't qualify for another year.

So here's to hoping that I find a part time job that let's me work evenings/weekends.

Probably on the extreme side of things, but I tend to have some pretty radical/extreme ideas. It wasn't a huge huge deal, but it really hit home with the comment they said. Something along of the lines of, "I wish all of those monkey protesters would get locked in cages and shot."

My spouse is a black woman who is very active when it comes to protests and rallies. I took it personal and called them out in front of the entire lunch room. I'd do it again.

That's a pretty extreme view that I will be happy to see slowly die away as generation move on. I know it won't ever completely go away, but it's got to get better, for my daughters sake and everyone else who has or will be discriminated against it just has to get better.

You know how I am right? I'm a very emotional guy. I don't know where it came from because I never had a father figure in my life ever show emotion. Heck, the man never said he loved me before. He did pat me on the back before I moved away. That was the most emotion I ever got from him.

Me on the other hand, I'll cry when something sad happens. I cry at the end of Armageddon when Bruce Willis pushes the other guy back onto the ship sacrificing his own life. I've never been scared to show my emotions even when during battle.

So, uh... does anybody know how to actually vote on this submission? Clicking on the play button takes me to a separate page where I can play the game, but clicking on the Vote/Review link closes the window and nothing else happens. I've never seen this before so it might be something new that Tom is testing.

I didn't know that. I can't drive until I get a license seen about. I'll keep that in mind. Have you thought about starting up a Patreon or something similar? It's no replacement for an income unless you do something super major, but it can help. YT is my only other source of money aside from odd jobs and the occasional tip on Paypal. I've had a few job interviews but a lot of people don't want to hire me because, ironically, I haven't been able to get a job since graduating college, and I don't have a license.

Something else ironic, in 1999 common sense said not to meet strangers on the internet. 2017, literally get paid to go pick up strangers from the internet with Lyft and Uber, or go on a date with a stranger with Tinder.

So here's to hoping that I find a part time job that let's me work evenings/weekends.

I'll say a prayer for you. Not sure if you believe in that sort of thing, but I can't do much else.

Yeah, I can definitely see the reasoning -- especially if they knew your wife was very much into activism. That kind of ideology is poison. I partially blame Darwin's theory of evolution for the surge of black people being called monkeys, people insinuating they are somehow less evolved. We have freedom of speech. Let people demonstrate, as long as they aren't hurting anyone or inciting hurt.

That's a pretty extreme view that I will be happy to see slowly die away as generation move on. I know it won't ever completely go away, but it's got to get better, for my daughters sake and everyone else who has or will be discriminated against it just has to get better.

Likewise. As long as people still think skin color tells you much past medical predispositions, people like my niece, her granddaughter, and my sister will suffer. No one wants to associate with my sister because she's been living with a black guy for almost a decade, and even my own mom didn't talk to her for years. No one except the burger joints want to hire my niece because she was adopted by a black family as a child and had a mixed baby out of wed-lock a few years ago.

I see the side-ways looks when one of us holds her -- or my fiancee's sister's mixed child for that matter -- and at how they're dressed, and how I dress. It's not just the people we typically think as racist. It's tribalism. "They're stealing our women/men. They're against us. I don't care as long as it doesn't happen to me or mine." It's not caring. It's not seeing people as persons. I can see that in their eyes.

I live in a black community and have black friends, and I went to a majority black school as well for 13 years plus college. What did I learn? The racist kids were taught by their parents, and the rest got along fine. I wish they would spend more time at school teaching kids to love their fellow humans.

I'll bite. I enjoy controversy to a point. That's why I always enjoyed being a manager. We have some different ideas on some stuff, but at the end of the day it was really my fault. (Well at least most of it) Sorry for being a dick munch.

Hey, forget about it. As far as I'm concerned, two different personality types, two different worldviews, a lot of tension in America. I'd be surprised if we didn't butt heads every now and then. But you're alright. :)

And we all know I talk too much anyway.

Well if you're interested in helping all you would need to do is check out the Icon Mod thread in the Clubs, check out my last post, pick some iconless submissions and make away. I don't do anything fancy really. Just some basic zooming in to find a good shot that represents the submission, take a screen shot, make sure it follows Tom's general guidelines for size.

"Also keep in mind we upload larger thumbnails now, to be more future proof... Aim for over 600 pixels wide. Thanks in advance to anyone who makes some!"

I actually have been considering deleting half my catalog because it's terrible and cringey, lol.

I personally wouldn't. Whether they are terrible, decent, good, etc... I think you should always keep your history. I sadly deleted like 100 submissions of mine and a bunch of posts because of personal reasons and now I don't have access to those original files anymore and their loss. I think it's neat to look back at your work and see how you've improved.

Jesus. I don't have any money, just a change jar, but do you have a gofundme or something? Anything I could do to lend a hand?

I just need to find the right opportunity. I've had good luck doing so in the past and I can do it again. I forgot about some stocks that I had stashed away and they were at what the professionals called an all time high for the next few years so I withdrew them.

It was enough to take away $3,500 dollars worth of bills paid off and reduced my monthly loss of $320 a month to about $190 a month. It's relaxed me a bit more knowing that the amount of additional hours needing to break even have just dropped quite a bit.

Thinking there is an average of 30 days in a month I just need to make about $6-$7 more a day to break even. I'm sure I can figure it out. Next two rent due dates will still be trying though if I can't figure something out by then.

I couldn't ask for a better job situation right now though. I live in family housing at an University because of my spouse going to grad school. My daughters day care is a 2 minute walk from our apartment, my job is a 15 minute walk from my apartment, and my spouses school is a 5 minute walk.

Something else ironic, in 1999 common sense said not to meet strangers on the internet. 2017, literally get paid to go pick up strangers from the internet with Lyft and Uber, or go on a date with a stranger with Tinder.

I never thought about it haha.

I'll say a prayer for you. Not sure if you believe in that sort of thing, but I can't do much else.

So I'm a Christian. I've just had a falling out with the church or at least all of the churches I've ever tried. We thought we found a keeper and were going there for over a year. I got baptized there and it really felt like family. One mothers day the pastor was out dealing with a family situation and his backup was speaking. He turned his mothers day speech into a gay bashing/anti gay speech. Some of the crowd just got up and left, us included. It was disgusting and as discriminatory as it comes. I called him out on it and he refused to show his face to me in public again.

Racism

Sorry, makes me a little sick to my stomach to get into it too much. :P

That's incredibly depressing. I'd trade you my dad, but he's dead. :s

Mine shall be too I fear. It'll be a sad day, but probably a big sigh of relief. He's a very angry man and has caused a lot of people a lot of hurt. That being said, minus the physical and mental abuse he put me and others through I couldn't have asked for a better teacher of patience, discipline, and dedication.

I'll never forget being in 2nd grade and not being able to eat dinner until I did all of the additional homework my father assigned me so I always got 100% on every spelling test. Or how I was forced to go to work even if I was sick and I never missed a single day of school until my college career.

Now I have to be basically dying to miss something and never learned how to give up. I thank him for that.

Same. I cry when I get happy. I cry when I get sad. I cried yesterday over something my mom said, and all those Nicholas Sparks movies I didn't really want to watch, but my ex-girlfriend really like them, sooooo...

Psh, loser!

@Fro I helped out a bit with icons back in 2012, when we were prepping for the current wide icons to replace the older square ones. I don't have a massive amount of free time but I do have photoshop, so I might try helping with a few icons again.

Also since we're in a forgiving mood... @Asandir, it was me who ate all your starburst while you were out on patrol. Sorry.

I think this is something to do with the site going over to HTTPS. In the most recent news post Tom said something about some games requiring a regular HTTP url, and that's what this pop out window seems to do. The couple of submissions I've seen this on I haven't been able to vote either.

I have a feeling you're right about that. Here's another one.

I changed it so it doesn't popup in a new window, so voting should work now. Yes, it's something new Tom's trying out as we try to get the older stuff prep'd for the day when nothing plays Flash. I guess that bug will have to be worked out. :)

I was about to ask about this. It happened when watching (and trying to v0te) on this one :

Not animation, it's video game footage.

Update, yes, they're working on it. There's now a link that should help with the voting situation. However, I've been clearing the popup requirement that the authors have been mistakenly adding to these. They add it without understanding what it's for, so when it's unnecessary, I clear it.

I changed it. Try again.

Actually, it's an image from a game. V0te, y0.

Yup, try it now.

Lies!


Thinking there is an average of 30 days in a month I just need to make about $6-$7 more a day to break even. I'm sure I can figure it out. Next two rent due dates will still be trying though if I can't figure something out by then.

Try donating blood plasma. That's what I do. Unlike blood donating, plasma donating can be done twice a week, and they pay. Not everyplace pays for blood, and you can only donate blood every 6 weeks or so.

I've made over $2800 this year. They usually pay bonus amounts for the first 3-5 donations so that new donors come in, and keep coming back enough to get over the initial shock of 'what the hell am I doing?!' My center currently gives $75 for each of the first 3 donations, then $45 for the 4th and 5th. It can change After that, it's $25 for the first of the week, and $5 for the second. That's $70 a week and $280 a month, but there are also bonuses and drawings every month. I've won a $250 gift card and lots of smaller bonuses and things in my time. The last several month, they've had an increasing amount as you do more donations. I made $440 last month.

If you plan on going, let me know beforehand and I'll give you advice on how to make it as best as possible. It can be crummy if you don't prepare correctly the first time(s). :\ I wasn't sure I'd return after the first time, but I've been going for 2 1/2 years now. :)

Reporting in.

Lot's of hentai in the portal lately. Is there a way to toggle adult submission like that off? I do most of my browsing from an office computer. I've been getting a decent amount of blams overall though.

Later today or this week I'll make a post in the icon mod thread and tag you in it with some instructions/examples. If we could, collectively as a team, just do like 10 icons a day we would move through the rest of them fairly quickly. I only do like 3-4 a day so I'm not claiming to be making leaps and bounds. These 3-4 only take 5-10 minutes though.

Also since we're in a forgiving mood... @Asandir, it was me who ate all your starburst while you were out on patrol. Sorry.

Was... it... all.. the pink ones?

That sounds like a decent opportunity. If I can find a center nearby the misses and I could make a date of it. Drop our daughter off at grandmas and go together. I did a quick search and it looks like the closest center to me is about 20 miles away. That's about an hour where I live, but if we can go frequently and get paid for it then it would be better than working a 2nd job.

I'll message you later about it.
