I don't see the problem.

If a random dude found this site and saw us arguing about track flow and speed and style he'd call us all losery nerds and laugh. Getting all period-y over this game is losery and nerdy (no, that's not directed at anybody). And because we're all dudes, periods shouldn't really happen, except at the end of your sentence.

Scenery tracks are the oblt tracks that on't get that sort of critism

Am I the only one who's feeling the ''forcement'' in quirk? It's the opposite to ''put your heart into something'', but I cannot define it. Weird.

EDIT: I just saw Sheldon's goodbye thread. It makes me sad, seeing how the community has changed so much.

I DARE TO SAY: MEMBERS, CAN WE SURVIVE? YES WE CAN. CAN WE STOP THIS WAR? YES WE CAN. THEN DO IT, [CENSORED].

I mean you can say I made this track for fun, and you get people saying nice comments about your track
But then you make hype about your track and people say they're diappointed that the track didn't meet the standards they expected because of the hype.

WHO THE [censored] CARES

If you put [censored] loads of effort into and think you did a good job with it, then that track deserves nice comments too. I mean some critism is nice, but when you feel you've put alot of effort into your track just so you hope people will notice you, it actually offends the person if they only get harsh critism about it.

To me it feels like this community is too sucked into the theory that tracks have to be made for fun and you're not allowed to make a track so people will think you are good at line rider. If I made a track with only crazy tricks in it I'd be called up for not putting "style" and "heart" into my track.

eg


"I do have the skills, but I don't want to collab someone who's improving in the ''Sheldon-direction'', as I'd call it."

"I'm not a racist. I respect Sheldon's skills, but not his lack of putting his heart into a track."


And this "heart" is supposebly being a sheep and and fulfilling everyones desires of a "fun" track?

Guys, this is a game. A dude on a sled flying through white space. Smacking some lines and s***. Why is there drama on a site about a dude on a sled flying through white space and smacking into lines and s***? It's about as stupid as drama on a site about lawn mowers.

QF [censored] T

TL;DR

Make tracks how you want to make them and don't give a [censored] about what other people think.

1. I had fun making this.
2. So I didn't make this to showoff any skill.
3. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it.
4. I didn't go "super try-hard" on this track, I simply enjoyed making it.

And usually, these statements are followed by a cute "". Makes me sick. I usually don't mind these kind of descriptions of a track. If it's obvious that you are saying one of these to get nicer comments, then I DO mind.

I also believe that music leaves an impact. If the song is all upbeat and epic, the watcher assumes that it is "over-hyped", and criticizes it harder. If it is lulzy/fun music, then people get the impression of "Oh, he just made this for fun".

Seriously, if you're going to bash a track just because "itz a dysopointmant", at least have good reasons.

Manuals are perfectly balanced, there's a crazy variety of flings, all the little things are there, so people start to criticize objectively, feeling like they need to harp on something. So they start using obscure terms like flow and stop making sense. Because people's opinions differ on how this toy should be played with, disagreements are started. that's my theory, and why I stick to making scenery.
