Shower Thought Talk

[PointyAndFast52]

So I got myself a shower thought for this game:
"Just because it isn't on the Message Board, that doesn't mean it's not quality."

What do you think of when you hear this?
For me, I think it's the fact that SRB2 is an open-source game, which naturally means that everyone should be able to make something new from existing materials, hence why we have not just the message boards, but also the workshop, GameBanana, SkyBase, & any other place that I may not know of. Which leads me to another shower thought:
Have you ever thought how SRB2 and Roblox are parallel to each other? Both let you create anything imaginable, both use Lua for scripting, you can make entire new games, maps, objects, or characters, or anything else with them. The only difference is that one uses DOOM, the other is built from scratch.

These sound wild, I know. But let me know what you guys think of these thoughts!

mine is "dude, why does mb hate workshop so much, they should honestly be on good terms just like skybase."
for yours, pretty good, but sadly SRB2 uses BLua while Roblox uses normal Lua.
also im not sure about this but i think roblox was made in 1999 called "davidblocks" or, interactive physics

BLua sounds close enough to Lua, is it?

This actually reminds me of the time I used to be in the MB Discord server three years ago and then I left since I got bullied because I said the pre-2.2 graphics (specifically 2.0/FD graphics) look better than the 2.2 graphics (there's more layers to that but it's too long to put here so I'm just sifting it for now.). And part of me kinda worries that that's still lingering around there, coupled with Nu-STJR saying Workshop and GameBanana slander thrown at me.

The best I can describe this is like going to your favorite ice cream parlor to choose which flavors you like, only to be greeted by a rude employee who won't even give you what you ordered.

Nu-STJR, both developers and community staff, frankly couldn't care less about what it truly means to be open source or anything about free software.
They keep spreading this garbage about MB superiority because it is nothing more than a means of controlling the community.
It is done for the sole purpose of keeping as much of the SRB2 community under their thumb as possible while also attempting to centralize and monopolize the entire modding scene for this game.
They only care about exerting power over others they deem inferior and everything they say in support of free software or "respecting artists" is little more than a facade to keep everyone on their side.

I also think the same mostly on pre 2.2 graphic being more memorable and charming, especially the art style of the characters. But honestly it's ridiculous how petty nu STJR are when it comes to being controlling, and changing things for the sake of change instead of actually improving things for the better.
