You can actually make something visually distinct and also not look like poo poo. There's an entire industry for it, in fact.

It would be a lot easier to just say "Yeah sorry I'm not really a designer but if anyone wanted to hook me up with some ideas that would be cool" instead of calling everyone autistic because they recognize that stroke-bevel-stencil font isn't a good look.

I mean, the only thing worse for your image than that would be if cams were doing his weird aggro white knight routine on your behalf or something.
i've avoided you because in the days when i'd hang out on irc and get blackout drunk you are the one person who i did a hurtful thing to that i regret. i'd claim negligence but it doesn't excuse it so i don't mess with you cause you have legit beef.

but the guy said 3 times he was cool with it and liked what he was doing, stop acting like you're doing it to "help him." you're doing it to bully a guy and feel superior in the thread for the game that none of you play. i saw you guys spend years in a chat room linking posts here, discussing them, then jumping in to post about how dumb those people are and how good and smart you guys are. now you're legit trying to act like you were just doing him a favor and he's the rear end in a top hat for not accepting and adapting to the criticism he didn't ask for? you guys want to be internet fighting game elitists because it makes you feel good, stop acting like it's for other people's benefit.

I don't know why you guys are so adamant about making these things look as crude as possible but they do legitimately look as unappealing as can be achieved in Photoshop, and assuming the original "they're meant to draw attention" comment is the real one and "thumbnails don't matter" was the fake one, my man obviously wants people to click on these eyesores, and there's three of them for every conceivable subject and they all look like poo poo so it's to everyone's benefit if their design looked halfway competent.

Here's a free piece of advice: big shapes and sharp value contrast is what draws the eye to something. This is how every book cover in the world is designed to catch the eye on a bookstore shelf and it applies to a wall of Youtube thumbnails as well. Stop touching bevel and stroke and glow and all the other bell & whistle buttons and come up with a design that has very simple contrast and that's how you make a video thumbnail stand out. The more poo poo you tack onto your letters the more noisy and garbled the shapes are. It's literally doing the opposite of what you want and it's an affront to the eyes so cut it out.

That thumbnail looks back, panders to the lowest common denominator and while it is identifiable, it’s not something you should want to be identified with.

Hey guys instead of nitpicking the content this guy is posting, maybe you could actually talk about the game? Like, three DLC characters were released and the only person posting content for them is getting dogpiled with advice he didn't ask for. He's obviously not trying to get youtube famous, like, maybe you could actually talk about the game?

If a goon is taking time to post poo poo about your fonts, he probably interacts with your content enough to care about its success, or at least cares enough to help see to it that your efforts yield hopefully better results. Or just wants the font to stop showing up in his recommended list.

I mean ya they're talking poo poo but sometimes that's just how goons care for each other. Don't gotta take it to heart if you're happy as is. I like the vids fine.

But I also play Tekken 7, a far more spiritually fulfilling fighting game.

anyone who has to use a stone to win is weak

the infinity stones taught me that honor does actually have a place in fgs as most of these stones have the same effect of some rear end in a top hat loving your game up in some way. like the power stone is the equivalent of someone slapping the controller out of your hands and the other stone they announced is some rear end in a top hat rigging the brackets

can't be sure without being given fine print, but the wording makes me feel like someone would just have to give up the first hit, so they could tag as soon as they gain the second meter. tricky because the latter part of the wording particularly mentions "executing the first combo of the match" so maybe you just gotta eat it? oh well ridiculous nonsense, good poo poo.

cloud805 beat sonicfox in grand finals to take the power stone, recommend watching if you didn't see it. extremely competitive.

Because nobody is close to insane enough to put themselves through the same poo poo that japanese workers put themselves through. But hey they want to limit overtime to a maximum of 100 hours per month in the near future after quite a few people killed themselves or died of heart failure after working 120+ hours overtime per month regulary, in the recent past.

Yeah and I doubt Combofiend had much input about anything in the company. If at all some input on gameplay and Infinite's gameplay is fun in parts at least (e.g not Reality Stone). Hopefully he finds a fulfilling job since he seemed to be a nice guy most of the time in the past outside of corporate shilling and gets back to playing if he still wants to.

One PR misstep--and it's not that much of a misstep; the community was waiting to pounce on something and he was the unlucky target--wouldn't be enough to get him fired, if he was fired at all.

For all we know, he was a contract hire and Capcom didn't opt to renew it.

It's Mind Stone that does that actually, Reality Stone hasn't been announced yet. Keep in mind that if you lose while you have a stone, the winner gets to take it. Granted, Mind Stone does seem like an auto win to me?
