So what's exactly happening with the Big List? I'm on my phone right now, so I can't see whatever Discord convo might be happening.

Lucky doesn't like its presentation, and wants a raw HTML instead.

Ah. My next question was going to be "why is a slightly-edited version on his userpage?", so that answers that.

What doesn't he like about its presentation, though? Maybe I'm too used to it to judge it objectively.

also when's making the big list a nice barebones page like this: http://exenetbattle.donburako.com/cardlistexe5.html
there's too much visual distraction with the big list
(…)
actually maybe it's not so much visual distraction
but there are other annoyances
firstly the table isn't centered or left-aligned
it's this weird in the middle because of the side bar
but not centered in the middle
also due to the how the table cells are auto-sized, you have a lot of cells with empty space
because of the amount of information crammed
(…)
it's ugly
look how wide the hexadecimal column is: https://i.imgur.com/SOejqE3.png
why is that

I've added dark type to my Gen 1 hack. Got the weakness/resistance tweaked to match gen 2 as well. Now I'm thinking about adding steel and fairy, but I'll need to figure out which moves I'm going to add/replace for the new types. Gen 2 barely had any dark types or steel for that matter. :V And I've edited Pallet Town's and Viridian City's maps. Oh and Animon is a dark type now, I'm keeping it as that because it looks like it would have been dark. :P

I'm looking forward to checking out your hack. Halfshadow's GSC hack, too. Also, huge thanks to everyone who's been helping with the wiki. So much for moving beyond all talk and no action, but for now I'll at least keep doing the first one. We all have our priorities, I suppose.

My thoughts on that are mostly held back by the questions of "is this the place for it?" and "is it work-safe?" The same goes for other recent posts of yours. So, I'm not ignoring them, but need to take time to decide how to thoughtfully respond and whether or not to on this platform. Then again, you're in charge now, so maybe those guidelines can afford to be stretched.

As for the part about glitches, anyway, I'd be hard-pressed to believe Nintendo cares at all. Have they been specifically targeting your videos, Crystal_'s, or others? Because if they wanted to, they could. Responses they gave even back when they supposedly demonized glitches were vague and dismissive: I recall reading a response to a fan's question about MissingNo. back when their site had a mail section that just said "don't mess with glitches," no elaboration or blatant discouragement whatsoever, let alone legal details. Nor have they since acknowledged any other than the very few minor bugs in Gen VI and on that they patched. Even with the combination of R/B/Y and Pokébank, they've said nothing about the absolutely game-breaking glitches in the former set of games, something that initially surprised me.

Tying all the sections together a bit, what have you simply found yourself doing the most for personal fulfillment? Which direction have you naturally felt led in time and time again? I think your videos, status, contribution count, and online time suggest a clear answer.

Yeah you're right. Sorry, I feel I was being unreasonable. I do love doing this; as glitching is my passion and I have fans who want me to continue. I've now removed some of my posts. Digressing into philosophy and thought-provoking things on my part was wrong. Its not that they are necessarily "right" or "wrong", but its not the right place here.

I wasn't saying that you had to go that far. :P Up to you if you want them gone, of course. This place would be a lot less active without its off-topic boards, and members on the Discord regularly go into territory where I prefer to keep to myself just out of preference. You're talking to someone who used to regularly come up with idiolects and alphabets on the spot so people wouldn't know what I was writing, so…I certainly can't call it "wrong".

I forgot what I thought wasn't work-safe anyway, so I guess what's done is done. It's good to see you more confident about getting back into glitching!
