I started writing a lengthy reply... until I realized that I fell for it again. Great work, you.

See? this is why I don't hang out with you guys anymore. I'm muting the mention notifications too.

Bye!


Oh... and, when it comes to my personal life and health. I'm sorry to say I don't give a flying fuck what you think.
Ah yes, the ostrich-technique.

Those people do exist. I'm not saying they're the majority, nor even necessarily that there are more of them than there are of stalwart defenders of Bones and The Manor, but while a lot of people on here offer fair and legitimate criticisms, there is a strong anti-Bones presence on here.
I am reminded of a short while ago, when I tried to assume a diplomatic stance on the subject when Bones put out the teaser for the reworked Martha scene. I wasn't even overtly positive or defensive, yet had to defend myself until I decided I didn't care anymore as the reactions only got more and more negative. It wasn't even me specifically being targeted, but rather Bones with me as a proxy, but even I felt a little overwhelmed with how fiercely a call for fairness was being resisted.
Honestly, I think the anti-Bones presence is mostly just shitposting and the doubt of improvement or progress that people mistake for hate. Best example is the new people that come here and defend Bones but don't read the last 100 pages of the stuff that happened until someone gives context. And I get your point but if we honestly summed up all the pages in this thread it's really the last 200 pages where there was nothing new to talk about where the love for the guy started dwindling.

My opinion would be if he wanted to weed those people out how about instead of going radio silent then hitting everybody with "I got you guys at the end of the month." And throwing shots at this thread in his discord. Just post more. And be more open to other peoples' criticism. Even if you don't like it, most people just want to be heard. It was going well until the last few updates.
Just look at his older posts compared to now He was open to change and improve until recent.

My post was giving reasons why this thread is the way it is but it just get reduced to "Anti-Bones" in his eyes, lumped in the rest that actually just despise the guy.

Even in his last post he did exactly what I said he does in that he just chooses to ignore criticism and scurries off.
First I offered my criticism which I think was valid.
Then, he chooses to believe my post was a "TRAP CARD" that he wasn't gonna get tricked by or whatever.
Then he sums up my post and says "this is why I don't hang out with you guys anymore."
Which basically proves my point that valid criticism doesn't matter to this guy only the extremes.
Then he tells me that he doesn't give a fuck what I think so I can't help the guy.

In the end, I think people on both sides should lend an ear and not be so quick to label them and listen to VALID reasons why.
I like both sides I just think the posts that are "Anti-Bones" are just making fun of him like teasing a friend.
And the ones that support him just want more content.
But the "Haters" that dislike the "supporters" when we know we'd be laughing to the bank like Bones if we we're in his shoes.
Or the "supporters" that dislike the "haters" without context as to why they hate Him.
Are the ones I don't agree with.

Yeah, I feel that. As I mentioned before I generally agree with what you said in your previous post, even if I'd probably have tried to express it less aggressively if it had been me. That doesn't make your points invalid, but in my experience it does make people liable to interpret it a certain way.
You'll hear no argument from me defending Bones this time around.

As for "haters" and "supporters"... well, I've talked about that before. Let's leave it at that.

It in poor taste to do something like this it all but confirm what people about Bones not caring about the community that love his work. Personally I think it's outright stupid because all he's is add more fuel to the fire and gave people more ammo

Honestly I saw that coming a mile away. If he really cared so much about those that supported, and like his work why not respond to the number of "positive" post that mentioned him. Honestly he could even mute the members that do "negative" post. Problem is a lot of members me included liked who he was not who he came to be. So in effect even those "positive" post are in danger of becoming negative.

PS DMs are potentially more hostile then anything that will be posted in public. Ask some of the other devs around here.

I can almost agree, but "when we know we'd be laughing to the bank like Bones if we we're in his shoes."

I had a chance to be there, but refused to make money I felt I did not deserve.

Alright... I'll take the bait (against my own good judgment).

I never said I don't visit F95, I actually do it pretty regularly... It is one of the best places to find new games after all.

What I DID say (And I'll take this opportunity to repeat it for those who don't know) is that I don't come to THIS THREAD in particular. And NO, I don't support it officially as I did before...How would I if I don't check it? And...Why would I check it?

After all it was hijacked by a few, but very loud, people that love to bully everyone else that comes here saying anything even remotely positive about me. And if they don't bully people into submission they just love to spread bullshit... like the post I'm replying to.

You do know that if you tag someone, they'll get a notification... Don't you? Even if they turned off the notifications from the thread you are tagging them from...

Anyways... I decided to leave you guys be, and sulk in your own negativity, because I don't need it personally. You guys do you. If that makes you happy.

To everyone else: I'm sorry I don't interact with your posts as before. But you are always welcome to join the discord server or even DM me here. Sadly I'm not a masochist, so, if I were you, I wouldn't keep my hopes up for me returning here any time soon.

XOXO
Hey, doc. Glad to see you kicked your "stones"... at least for the moment. ;)

Well, I was shocked by the people here... 2 points:

First: if you don't like bones, what are you doing here?

Second: if you believe what you can create a better game, well, go and do it, and see how many players you have.
I'm always say the same for fanfics, games and videos, if you can do something better, what are you doing here?

You can say anything about me by this, but if you have the abilities to do something better, I'm going to be your biggest Patreon if don't, please, stop talking nonsense
