Hi, I’m the developer behind the Lemmy/PieFed client Blorp. I would love to commission you to make an animated version of Blorp’s logo. I think your style would fit the esthetic, and I’m happy to pay.
I know the name is silly, but someone will always complain about the name. Changing it might make one person happy, but it will likely make another person unhappy. So the net gain will be nothing, and I will have wasted a lot of time rebranding. That's time I can spend improving the app itself.
Another nice thing about "Blorp", since it's a silly made up word, if I search "blorp" on Lemmy/PieFed, 99% of the search results are people talking about the app. That makes it really easy to address feedback from users.
Exactly! My employees here at PunchOurEmployeesinTheFace construction are always wanting to do a rebrand.
I’m like “guys we’ve been over this! the wave of violence is probably due to our bait-and-switch pricing style. The few others are more of a fall into the employee when the watered down concrete inevitably fails. That’s why we gotta leave the job site immediately after completion people!”
Since the joke is entirely about absurdity and not making any grand point or statement of in kinda … yeah it should be pretty high up there in the unreasonable things you’ll read today category.
Honestly if your trying to say what I think your trying to say, the problem is your trying to read it as me insulting the other person. You having difficulty because it doesn’t actually say anything bad about they’re company name or decision to keep it. Reading it like an insult makes it just a confusing thing to randomly say.
Because the joke is actually that simple. It would be absolutely absurd if I meant what I was saying at all. That’s the joke.
You don’t have to like the joke but don’t waste your time overthinking it. You won’t get anywhere lol.
Yes. It’s mean spirited against my fake employees at my terrible company.
I never said blorp was a bad name. I’d actually compare it to “James bond “ the writer picked James Bond because it was a boring name. Now it’s the name of James Bond.
I have no strong feelings about blorp. It’s just a name.
I do have strong feelings about a what bad name actually sounds like.
I was going to correct you on aesthetic, but i googled in and now i honestly have no idea whether its right or wrong. Never seen that spelling before though, by chance are you european? According to very quick googling as an American im more likely to use esthetic evidently, but ive never seen it.
Its been a while, but i didnt remember that relay looking different. Was it really red and i just forgot? I just figured the artist took liberties. Either way, the art is awesome.
Man it's been so long and ME3 was so disappointing Iv forgotten pretty much every plot relevant point from the whole series aside from Sarin and that sick ass final.mission from 2
Man I don't agree at all. Like the whole Moradin part was amazing, losing my best buddy from 2 is hard regardless if you shoot him or help him but so much else just irritated me. Like the bugs getting Reindoctrinated, that shit just pissed me off. I was like you fuckers REALLY gonna undermine me all they way back in ME1??? Maybe I'm being unreasonable but it felt like a game I was finishing cuz I spent so much time in 1 and 2. 2 was off the chain...have I said that already?

I would be happy to, anywhere to contact you?
Matrix if you have it (@moseschrute:matrix.org). Otherwise, Lemmy private message. Unless you prefer something else?
Maybe they can come up with a better name too.

They just don’t get it.
This is one of the most childish replies I have seen, and that is saying a lot.

It’s a bad joke. You feeling the need to write 4 paragraphs explaining the joke is testament to that.
I write long paragraphs for everything lol. All my comments have hundreds of edits as well. It’s called adhd.
It being a bad joke doesn’t bother me. It being taken as an insult does. I don’t go around wanting to hurt people for no reason.
That damages my reputation.
Making a joke that just isn’t very funny to anyone besides me does not damage my reputation at all. I can do that all I want.
If I was embarrassed about making a joke I’d delete. I’m still very thrilled about my joke.
Blorp is absurd nonsense. Innocent. PunchOurEmployeesinTheFace is agressive. Violent.
Yes. It’s mean spirited against my fake employees at my terrible company.

I like silly names, it depends on your preferences ig
Damn bro he came for a new logo not to catch a sick burn lol
I was going to correct you on aesthetic, but i googled in and now i honestly have no idea whether its right or wrong. Never seen that spelling before though, by chance are you european? According to very quick googling as an American im more likely to use esthetic evidently, but ive never seen it.
Not European. Just bad at spelling :)
But European sounds much cooler. Now excuse me while I take the underground to go pickup my grey colour car from the car park. Cheers mate!
This is awesome! Want to post it to /c/masseffect?
Thanks, I didn't know this community was active, will post there.

im commander shepard, and this is my favorite piece of pixel art on lemmy.
Oh the reds look much brighter here, I like it more than the still version ha.
The magic of putting layers on color dodge.
Bad ass MFer over here
+1 vote for an IRL version that actually goes to space.
This is very cool. I'm glad you made it.
What software did you use to do the pixel art/animation?
Pixelorama, Its free and opensource.
Had to be you. Someone else might have gotten it wrong.
I'm proud of you.
It's cool.
Hope you did everything you wanted to, Shepard, 'cause nobody has ever returned from that relay
I too do things without needing other people to validate them by voting on them, bravo friend!
Hell yeah 10/10
N/7
That is a very impressive jaw harp
I like the way the pixels are arranged
Damn you for making me want to replace the trilogy. RIGHT THIS VERY MINUTE!
Though I did just buy it on Steam for $4.79. It's on sale through midnight today for anyone who doesn't own the legendary version.
What's the game? Am i being a dumbo?
Mass Effect
Specifically Mass Effect 2
Of course :)
Its been a while, but i didnt remember that relay looking different. Was it really red and i just forgot? I just figured the artist took liberties. Either way, the art is awesome.
Yep, it is.
Yup. A MASSive one. With great EFFECT...
It's Disney's Pirates
Finally an answer THANK YOUUU!!!!
That is fuckin awesome, dude.
This is cool 😎 🆒 approved
Hmm. Looks like a jaw harp.
It's a Mass Effect Relay from the Mass Effect series of games. This one is from Mass Effect 2, specifically.
Well, it looks like a jaw harp.
We guess
That's rocking, nicely done!
+1 Vote for adding a fourth dimension.
Zero votes? So you're saying that literally nobody asked for this?
Across 3 other platforms, Yes, nobody voted for an animated version.
It may not be what we asked for, but it's definitely what we needed.
ZA you say..
ZA baby!!! On the highveld even!
Oh shit! Nice to see other Saffa's on here, not that I'm in SA anymore, but my heart is.
Fuckin’ rad.
This looks incredible!
This is so cool
This is beautiful
It looks great!
(also yay - new community to subscribe to)
love it!
OH I'D HAVE FUCKING VOTED FOR IT IF I SAW IT. THAT'S SO FUCKING COOL HOLY SHIT
Is it the ride from Contact?
Nah, Mass Relay from Mass Effect
Since it's red, it's specifically the relay that leads to Keeper space, right?
Man it's been so long and ME3 was so disappointing Iv forgotten pretty much every plot relevant point from the whole series aside from Sarin and that sick ass final.mission from 2
ME3 was 99% great. It was just the 1% at the end that sucked ass.
Man I don't agree at all. Like the whole Moradin part was amazing, losing my best buddy from 2 is hard regardless if you shoot him or help him but so much else just irritated me. Like the bugs getting Reindoctrinated, that shit just pissed me off. I was like you fuckers REALLY gonna undermine me all they way back in ME1???

Got Everspace 2 vibes
It's a Mass Relay from the Mass Effect games.They're really good games and often sell for cheap on steam.
Specifically one from Mass Effect 2
And now, of course, it begs you to animate it in use
I'm starting to hate that my instance sometimes fails to play/load something with this error always being the same:
All I see is "broken_image_fallback.jpg"...
Open in external to see the animation.
At least, that worked for me using Jerboa.
I'm using the website, no app.
