I am actually a fraud, as I only remembered the existence of Paper mario after i saw your profile picture when I was searching for a new avi. Then i remembered that Dimentio is a pretty cool guy, and also the latest boss i battled, and he was just perfect for a profile picture.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge, but how does one make a transparent background? (I blame the fact that I have never needed a transparent background.) (I also need a different picture, as the foot of my Dimentio is below the border, and there is lot of empty space on the top.)

Also, f-777 - dance of violins is a good song.

I am assuming someone did that for you (it's not complicated for this one), but all of the problems you have have simple solution once you learn them, so let me tell what I know

The very first thing you can do is simply getting the best version of an image. Say you google search it, there;s a feature to search images similar to a result, it's certainly not perfect, but it works. There coudl be a .png version with transparency high resolution of the image you want which is going to make your life a lot easier afterwards. Try to avoid .jpg because the compression is often quite annoying, doesn;t support transparency and if compressed enough, there would be too much artifact to actually try to remove the background. PNG supports transparency, has much less compression and jsut looks good with the only downside being more filesize......but tbh.....you need a lot to lag something.

But most of the images you will find will not fit if you need standards such as the avi here. They are 150x150 unless you are premium which gives more height. So ideally, you would want the exact size, but it;s not really possible so the trick is simply to use the image editing program of your choice and do some tricks.

For the program to use, there;s mainly 3, photoshop, paint.net and gimp. The first is really good, btu costs. The second is free, but it;s windows only. The last one is open source, multiplatform and free, but it has its quirks. There;s paint.....but tbh, don;t use it, jsut paint.net is a lot better.

They all work the same way however. To remove a background, you have to make a selection and simply delete it. making the right selection is the tricky part, you can select shapes like rectangle and stuff, but the easiest one is I think people call it fuzzy selection or something, but it;s jsut a pathfinder that checks similar colors. You can adjust the threshold so ideally, you want an image that hgas a cleanly defined background that only has one color and the edges of the subject to be contrasting that color. This is exactly what you had, a white background with the subject having black lines and edges (most Paper Mario characters are so easy to do this becuase of this).

The problem is this is the ideal scenario, soemtime it;s tricky to do this either becuase of quality, colors etc......it;s soemtime hard to do and it woudl leave some mark on the image, but if you can find a better image, that might work then.

The second problem you have is even easier to solve. Say if you have an image that is more in an horizontal position and you want it to be a sqaure, well you could simpyl resize the canvas to be square. All it does is it adds dummy spaces, but your subject is unchanged, It does appear the subject is smaller, but it;s MUCH better than having it cropped.

And the last thing that is really basic is scalling, it;s not wrong to scale down if it is preserving the proportion of the image, all the image editing I used has a way to scale down proportionally withotu using stuff like a calculator. You DO loose quality, but you HAVE to do this and a proportional scale down is actually harder to notice if it;s not too much. So, the best case is you have a super high res image that you scale down small, it had so much data at the beginning it might be very hard to notice it.

I explained mainly how you do it, but it varies for each tool. I can teach these in gimp, it;s very easy, but you might jsut want to google it because like I said, once you know how to do it, it;s very simple.

That is so dumb.

You're such a party-pooper.

They should stick with characters that actually have a possibility.

K. Rool was a such a likely character, amirite?

I didn't say likey I said had a possibility. K. Rool is possible but not likely.

They're just responding to demand, anyway. They are constantly taking suggestions on Twitter.

I imagine if they did these this time last year they'd probably have done one of Freddy Fazbear..

 

[jarbAin]

Actually, it wasn't even that difficult, when I just bothered to tinker with the gimp for a bit.
Thanks for help.
I wasn't (weren't?) even new to gimp, as I used to apply sunglasses, beer and silly wigs to everyone back in school (the school before high school. I don't remember what it is called.). Just that i couldn't been bothered to download it to my computer and actually do stuff.

I just started rewatching Hunter x Hunter, and I'm actually shivering just because of the epicness yet to come.

 

[Autumn ♫]

Ooh, Mettaton on Smashified? That's going to be really interesting.

 

[War Anvil]

Ooh, Mettaton on Smashified? That's going to be really interesting.

According to certain Twitter replies Smashified made, it's just going to be the first in a "Trophies" mini-series. Still pretty dope.

 

[Autumn ♫]

Now that I think of it, I really hope they do the more humanoid one and not the square box one.

 

[Aurane]

That is so dumb.

You're right.

They should of done Freddy from FNAF first.

......did you scaled the image?

It does feel stretched, you can avoid that by adding dummy canvas space so it;s sqaure then scale down proportionally to 150x150.

idk but it feels very stretched

 

[-crump-]

Welp, looks like it's official.

Happy one-year anniversary to me.
Glad I stuck around, it's fun hanging out with you losers.

 

[Yoshi-hara]

I hoped that being able to report people on Twitter for "disagreeing with my opinion" was not going to escalate further.
I hoped that it was a mistake and Twitter would go back on it.
Heck, I even expected it to be a joke.

I was wrong.

Now we watch as Twitter becomes nothing more than a feminazi/SJW safe haven, because apparently only they are allowed to have freedom of speech on the Internet.
I want to hope that nothing changes, that things actually turn better with the introduction of this system, but, Anita Sarkeesian? Anita ****ing Sarkeesian? Half con-artist, half feminut, full on professional victim?
I don't think Twitter will die, but it definitely will be heavily censored.

 

[Luggy]

Funny, I just opened a twitter and don't see any problems.
It's probably because I just post my art there and just follows the people I want to.

 

[Space Stranger]

I don't even go on Twitter so this doesn't affect me in the slightest.

 

[aldelaro5]

my internet is **** now so I can;t watch that vid but I started to use twitter recently

*plusg start*

Here it is, follow me if you like Paper Mario or just like my stuff

https://twitter.com/aldelaro5

*plug end*

Anyway, I learned that twitter is actually usefull because it's the quickest media ever, stuff like veryu VERY short sharing or jsut announcement like me going live opn twitch or so.

though, I wish they woudl announce a direct so i coudl say stuff

 

[praline]

Get out. Actually.

They did the protagonist of an unofficial Mother 4 PC game, I'm pretty sure realistic chances aren't an obstacle for them.

I didn't watch that one cause it was so dumb.

Are you honestly this upset about it? Calm down.

 

[praline]

Pff I'm not upset. I just thought it was a waste of time.

 

[CBO0tz]

So do you guys still want to see your Smash fighter ballot characters appear in the next Smash?

 

[Mythra]

What is Twitter anyway?

 

[Space Stranger]

What is Twitter anyway?

A place where memes come to die.

 

[Aurane]

Get out. Actually.

Mister... I don't think I like your attitude.

 

[Deleted member]

My proposed Back Room logo is [fully] done.

I've added an alternate version of the logo featuring a stylized "4" creating the lines found in the Smash Bros, symbol. A Final Destination screenshot is clipped to the background layer of the standard version. I honestly think staff members will like it a lot more compared to the ones at the top, which I covered already.

In the other side of things, I now have all DLC characters available on the Wii U game. The lack of sufficient funds prevented me from purchasing them on 3DS, but I'll get that sorted out eventually. I'm particularly liking so far.

>Implying there's anything wrong with Anita Sarkeesian or feminism


I'm not sure why being critical of media, in this case video games, makes someone "EVIL". All she ever says is, "We can do better" but somehow that translates to "Video games are bad and should be censored"

 

[FalKoopa]

Dunno. Twitter has been fine even after that reporting option was introduced. I haven't seen anything noticeable taken down.

Then again, I only follow people from Smashboards, a few pixiv artists and a science jokes account. So not like I'd know.

The @sonic_hedgehog account would disagree.

Even NoA got into it.

Seriously, I think people are fond of accentuating the negative. I've been to Deviantart, Tumblr and other supposedly bad places and the bad stuff pops up ONLY if you're specifically looking for it. The site doesn't shove them into your face.

You have just double post, it's not the Disco Room here my friend.

That's because nothing will get taken down unless they're actually problematic. And even then I doubt they'd get taken down. As usual, people just get a knee-jerk reaction because "oh no, evil feminist/sjw/etc. is doing something! Quick let's make uninformed rants about it"

Intel also listened to "scummy sjws" and they're doing fine. So has Google and many other tech businesses. Iirc, I heard a lot of them are actually doing better as a response.

Intel, as in company which makes chipsets and processors? What does 'SJW' stuff have to do with that?

Here you go

And disappointingly (yet also unsurprisingly) people were up in arms about how "forcing" diversity is bad and that "SJWs are going to ruin Intel".

I see.

About forcing diversity in games... The problem is how people expect companies to go about it. Shoehorning diversity at the expense of the narrative isn't going to be well received. As it is now, most the characters added like that suffer from being rather two dimensional, poorly written, and don't really give a reason for the player to like them. Diversity is not bad, but there are very few companies that do it right, like Atlus.

Well of course. The people advocating for more diverse characters still want them to be crafted well and fit the narrative. No one is going to complain that there's a lack of Blacks in a game about Shoguns. But a game about WWII doens't have to feature the gruff, blond haired, blue eyed American.

Representation is a good thing.

Like I said, Anita is a liar and professional victim.
Liar: she tends to use video game clips out of context in her videos to try to accuse them of sexism.
Professional victim: Anita has the fame of interpreting anyone disagreeing with her or debunking her statements as personal attacks.
I also remember when she accused all school shooters of being male. That was a fun one.
And I like the idea of her video series, but her habit of twisting things is terrible.

And there's nothing wrong with the idea of feminism, but damn, the third wave is ****ing NUTS. That's why I called them feminazis. There are good people in the movement, but there are so many insane people in it as well.
