Submolok's gender
Where did you find this? It's not on its page. -- 15:19, November 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh, I found it on the games list description page: Help Submolok explore and find a way to contact home. But why is he here anyway?


 * It's also found on the blog, if that helps. 16:59, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

RE:Submolok room 5
Yeah, after a few attempts I just stopped trying to explode when I had water and just tried to escape. Getting to the left highest up platform in the missile infested area can be a bit difficult to do since it sometimes requires that you cease using your thrusters in order to use the gained momentum to get up there. But, I still did pretty good considering how that was my first attempt at 100%ing room 5 (previously I just tried getting the parts in the upper room). -- 13:48, December 15, 2014 (UTC)

Contents template
The new design is no longer a table, but a succession of , so it should push contents down on smaller displays (and also show more on wide screens!). I had to leave chat to do some homework, but let me know if you experience any issue with the template. 18:39, December 16, 2014 (UTC)

The extent to which pre-release articles are not covered
When you suggested "no articles on pre-release content", you suggested that based on the small trailers Nitrome released that showed snippets from their flash games. Of course, you couldn't write much about these because the only info gleaned from them was their appearance and some small interaction with them in the trailer.

That was understandable, and Nitrome has continued putting out trailers like this. However, with Nitrome's mobile releases they have sometimes put out a lot of information about a subject of a game prior to release that makes an article possible, such as the Icebreaker characters. So now I ask, how much information about something in a game must be disclosed before an article is possible?

Because I wanted to cover the content in the Gunbrick video that was released today. This video is different from Nitrome's trailers, as a "Hands on" video of a Nitrome game pre-release has never been done before, this is from the game's final version, it is more than snippets, and actually shows the game's first three levels.

So, would something like this be content that could be covered pre-release? What I would do is create an article for the civilians, the Gunbrick, and the first level pack. -- 23:07, December 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * Past articles on upcoming game components were written when a teaser trailer or preview picture was released. This was not a good idea since the trailers themselves served as teasers, and their hinted content was mostly sketchy. There is no way an article could be written about a character that only appears in a preview picture, or several preview pictures - at least not enough to make an article. It's about the amount of sources that are available so that users don't try to fill them in with their own theories that don't belong in the mainspace.


 * Yes, I'd say for the most part that the case of Gunbrick would be different. If I remember correctly, the game is already complete and simply waiting for its preselected release to the mobile game stores. It is not currently in development, unlike many Nitrome games that were previewed in the blog before. The content in that game is basically set in stone and certainly not going to change considering that Gunbrick is complete. A snippet of the first couple levels of Gunbrick mobile reflect actual gameplay so I say for the most part, it is different from teaser trailers and preview pictures.


 * That aside, the video only shows the first few levels of the level pack, which would not be enough to make an article of, I believe. Civilians should be okay, since their behaviour is constant throughout the levels that were shown off. I would hold back on creating an entirely new page for the Gunbrick character in the mobile version too, though based on the looks of the template, Gunbrick (character) is going to also include the mobile version of Gunbrick as well. What title do you intend to use for the page about the Gunbrick in the mobile version? Gunbrick (character) (mobile) looks really ugly and I recommend against using more than one parentheses for clarification. 09:14, December 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * Maybe Gunbrick (browser character) and Gunbrick (mobile character)? -- 13:43, December 24, 2014 (UTC)

Sic
Should sic just be used for incorrect spellings or also incorrect capitalization? I was going to use it just for incorrect spellings, but on the avatars page it was used for incorrect capitalization. While I would use sic for both, the problem is in a recent blog comment by Nitrome I had added 17 sics, 15 for incorrect capitalization. -- 00:40, December 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'd say for all cases of typographical errors, be it capitalisation, spelling, grammar, etc. Anything that a user may try to correct because they are unaware it is part of the quotation. If there are multiple errors in one quotation, you only need to add the [sic] to the end of the sentence. Don't put it next to every error if that's the case. For example: "your [sic] a natral [sic] at this." can simply be reduced to "your a natral at this[sic]."


 * If you can help it, take smaller snippets of quotations and avoid adding clutter like emoticons or random remarks. Or maybe tell Nitrome to pay more attention to their conventions; they're setting a bad example for their fans. :P 09:26, December 24, 2014 (UTC)

MatiasNTRM highlighted how the featured article has not been changed for almost 2 years. There are two articles on Project:Featured Article, Bow and arrow and Snot. Which one do you think would work best? Both seem to have equal support on the Project page. -- 23:34, January 16, 2015 (UTC)

Pixel Love announcement
Not sure whether you may be able to use this on a Pixel Love related article on Nitrome Pixel Love Wiki (or perhaps for the development of Pixel Love), but around 2 weeks prior to the release of the Pixel Love spot on the Nitrome blog, Aaron Steed made a post on the Tigersource forums about the basic ground work for Pixel Love and asked for game suggestions. . -- 00:36, February 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * I'll see what I can do with it, thanks. 08:14, February 13, 2015 (UTC)

Hey RSK, happy birthday! I really hope you have an amazing day and a superb year!

Happy Birthday!
Hello there, Random-stroykeeper! I hope you have a pleasant birthday with many good things and gifts! Speaking of gifts, this penguin has arrived from the treacherous and snowy mountains of Avalanche to bring you some! http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/nitromefanfiction/images/4/4a/Rsks_birthday_penguin.png http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120927002508/neutronized/images/thumb/d/d1/Sharky!.png/150px-Sharky!.png Grammar Cat    (talk)  18:59, February 16, 2015 (UTC)

 * It's so cute; thanks! And wow, Grammar Cat...I haven't seen you around in a long while. 08:19, February 17, 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm glad you like it (^-^) I made it in Gimp with my attempt at pixel art. Ah, yeah, I kinda dropped off from the wikis but I will be getting back (that is, as long as I can stop watching anime and edit XD). 15:28, February 17, 2015 (UTC)


 * Oh yeah. If I was still watching anime I'd be all caught up in that too. Did you draw the presents yourself? They're very well done. What's your favourite anime?  18:02, February 17, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yep! I drew the presents and the party hat myself as well as edited the penguin to be smiling and extended the sled. Thank you for the compliment (^-^) My favourite anime? Well, I haven't watched that much but I suppose it would be Death Note (I'm also reading the manga as well). I actually prefer manga over anime but, in Death Note's case, the anime is much more vivid. Do you read manga? 19:29, February 17, 2015 (UTC)

Woa, Death Note? I wasn't expecting that. I don't read manga, and haven't been watching much anime lately. Is there any good manga worth checking out? 08:36, February 19, 2015 (UTC)

Oops
Dang, I missed your birthday. Well, happy late birthday! Sorry for forgetting it... (ㄒoㄒ) 20:07, February 17, 2015 (UTC)


 * No worries, and thank you. :) 08:36, February 19, 2015 (UTC)

Manga
Hello there, Random-Storykeeper! I thought it was better to start a new message because it became we were both responding to "Happy Birthday!". Anyway, I actually thought you might be surprised I said my favorite anime was Death Note. I've also been watching Inuyasha, Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan (Or Nurarihyon No Mago, "Grandson of Nurarihyon"), Yu-Gi-Oh! (The original series), and Nastume Yujin-cho (Natsume's Book of Friends). I haven't actually watched to many different series and the only one I have finished is Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

Oh yes, there is lots of good manga (or manwha (Korean comics) if you prefer). I have put some of my recommendations below that you can read in English (and I can give you links if you want to read them online) and also wrote a little bit about them but inclosed it in a spoiler template if you just want the names. If you are interested in a certain genre I can help you find it online or the name, as I have read over thirty different titles, so don't hesitate to ask (^-^)

Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler Cautions: There is blood present within Kuroshitsuji and though not gratuitous, it can be somewhat graphic. People do die as well and in one arc children are killed as well as a mass murdering of children via a house burning down (but this later is revealed to be done out of kindness). Gore is not to prevalent but does appear in one arc in the form of zombie-like creatures attacking people. There is no sexual acts and most of the women are dressed decently save for one character whose outfit has a low cut top. Profanity is seldom used and, as I read a fan translation which usually means they will use a stronger word than intended, the profanity used isn't too vulgar.

Kyokai no Rinne/Rinne

Cautions: Profanity is low and there is only comical violence. There is not really any sexual content and all the character are dressed decently (though the schoolgirls do have short skirts).

Natsume's Book of Friends/Natsume Yujin-cho

Cautions: Profanity is almost non-existent or if it does appear, it is not really serious. There is no sexual content and violence is low and both bloodless and gore-less.

Ghost Only Cautions: There is really nothing to worry about as this is basically all about food and disturbing elements are used in a humorous light; however, I would advise skipping the fifth chapter as it deals with homosexual male couple (which was rather bizarre). Though nothing really happens in that chapter and the would be kiss between the homosexuals ends up in the female main character being possessed and kissing the guy, I found that chapter jarring and ruined the mood that the previous chapters conveyed.

Sorry if this message was a tad long. Have a nice day! 00:38, February 21, 2015 (UTC)

Signature Problem
Hey... In my preferences, I replaced

with

But when I save my preferences, it becomes again -.-

Have any solutions?  Mahsaad 500  11:26, March 8, 2015 (UTC)


 * You might want to read this. You can use a little gimmick that substitutes the curly braces so that your sig appears as a template. 17:05, March 8, 2015 (UTC)

In need of CSS (or whatever it is called)
Hello there, Random-storykeeper! My brother did not know where to find the code for the [expand/collapse] on templates and he said to ask you. If you can give me this code, I would greatly appreciate it.

Have a nice day! 20:08, March 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * If he means the show/hide code on Template:Navbox, this code can be adjusted with the |state= parameter. Set it to "uncollapsed" if you want the template to always be uncollapsed, "collapsed" if you always want it to be collapsed, "autocollpased" if you want the template to be collapsed when there are other navboxes on the same page or "plain" if you don't want them at all.


 * If NOBy Doy means just collapsible tables in general, that's triggered by the "mw-collapsible" class, which is built in with MediaWiki. He can change the text that appears in place of Expand/Collapse, but I won't elaborate further unless this is certainly what he means. (He can also index Wikia's help pages.)


 * PS Ooh that's a pretty avatar you got there. Loving the eyes! ^^ 00:44, March 16, 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you so much!! I actually found the code I was looking for after googling "show/hide tag wikia" or something like that, getting frustrated, and then finding my MediaWiki:Common.js and pasting in the code, but thank you anyway for your message (^-^) I was actually trying to find the code specifically for this template. All that technical code makes my head spin but slowly, I am beginning to understand it. As for why my brother didn't ask you: I think he prefers I ask you rather than he does it (less work maybe?). In some instances it is kind of funny how if he doesn't know something, he tell me to ask you XD


 * Oh yeah, lately I've been thinking of my past communications with you when I got really angry with you on the Pixel Love Wiki about the template you redesigned. I'm very sorry about that and, looking back at it, I wonder how I could have been so stupid to just say that to you. Having grown up a little more, that previous hostile response I sent you when I redesigned the template makes me see how that response was completely immature and not even thinking. Well, I know that is all in the past and has been rectified, but I still wanted to say thank you for not being harsh with me.


 * Have a nice day and may the Lord bless you!


 * P.s. Thank you very much for the compliment (^-^) It took me a while to figure out how to draw eyes that way but I finally figured it out. (Btw, though it might be already apparent, I drew the image by hand in Gimp)

03:47, March 16, 2015 (UTC)


 * Oh ha that code. The showhide is pretty outdated, but I use it on wikis I edit anyways for the navboxes and infoboxes. As far as I know, the new MediaWiki code doesn't let you adjust the link colour of the show/hide, unlike the old JS, which changes colour according to the text specified for the header.


 * And no worries about the Pixel Love Wiki fiasco; I nearly completely forgot about it and had to look back at my talk archive to remember what you were addressing. ^^; Sure it made me frustrated but we both learned to move on. You're completely forgiven on that.


 * Hmm on an off note, the picture in the navbox for the episodes template looks a little too wide considering how many links are in that template. Might I suggest using the group navbox for episodes? 04:45, March 16, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hello again! The JS changes colour? that's useful. Hopefully next time I adopt another wiki I remember to port that instead of searching madly and getting frustrated XD


 * Thank you, and, indeed, I think I did learn allot from talking on that wiki and also the other wikis we edited at.


 * Oh yeah, I actually did follow your advice and it works so much better (you can see it here).


 * Have a nice day!

Magic Touch
Do any of your iOS devices that have Magic Touch and run it without enlarging the art? Because if you do, and also have the Gunbrick background, could you take a picture of it and upload it to the wiki? Because the entire background for the Gunbrick background is not fully displayed in game, and it would be nice to show an example of what is actually seen in the game (I will also be including images of what isn't seen in-game) alongside art that is the same size.-- 21:31, March 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry; I don't really understand what you mean. And if you know that the entire Gunbrick background is not displayed in game, how come you are unable to get a capture of the proof yourself? You said that you will include images of what isn't seen in the game, and I have no idea what isn't or is supposed to be in the "full" background. I can take screenshots on two different devices that have two different screen sizes though, and have you take a look at them. 04:03, March 26, 2015 (UTC)


 * I can get a picture of the proof myself, it's just that the sprites off the Android tablet I use are all enlarged, and unfortunately they are not just resized, they are treated like vector graphics, so in the image on the Android tablet some pixels are stretched and other aren't. What I'm asking is if you have any devices that can run Magic Touch without enlarging the graphics, for example, a device that can run Magic Touch so in the game the yellow knights appear like this (not resized) and not like this (resized).


 * If you have a device like this, what I'm asking is that you take a picture of playing the game on the Gunbrick background, as that image would be used as an example of what part of the full background of the background (stuff behind the castle) is seen in game. While the app stores actually have a picture of the Gunbrick background, for reasons unknown the background of the background is messed up so that it's different from what is actually displayed in-game.-- 23:19, March 26, 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm still not fully understanding because when playing the game, the sprites on my device look fine to me. But I'm sure they look okay on every device. Since you know better what you're looking for, I just took a screenshot of the game with the Gunbrick background and uploaded it here. I did it on my 4th gen iPod, but I also have a 5th gen with a slightly different screen size. Should I upload a screenshot from there as well? 02:36, March 27, 2015 (UTC)
 * I finished the section and it explains what I was talking about. Link. -- 18:11, March 28, 2015 (UTC)

RE:Mat Annal image
I didn't remember where I got it from, but doing an image search this interview on Pocketgamer website shows up. Still, there's a possibility that's not the original source of the image, as I remember to have uploaded images from his Facebook in the past. 10:56, March 27, 2015 (UTC)

The templates on game pages
I was reminded of your blog post discussing templates on games pages today. I think it should be moved to the forum so the situation can be further discussed and passed. Should I write up the forum topic or do you want to write it? -- 22:24, April 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * Ehh I guess I could write it. I started enforcing it with Fluffball and no one threw a fit so I assumed it was okay to continue. 22:46, April 10, 2015 (UTC)

Regarding OFF
Just in case things go wrong: Sorry if I'm not there when you come back. The OFF playthouhg might have to be postphoned a bit again. But then again if I do make this, then this message is useless. -- 02:02, April 14, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yeah no worries. I just have some work to finish up in a couple hours' time. If you wish to postpone it, it'd have to be for a few days while I'm studying. Or can you wait for a week, when I will be OFFicially done from now? 04:23, April 14, 2015 (UTC)
