Could you paste in the rest of the cut-off Development section? I was reading it and was left on a cliffhanger.
The idea of uglification resonates with the plot of Harrison Bergeron (Kurt Vonnegut) ...
In the year 2081, the United States Constitution has been amended to require that all Americans are fully equal and must have the same level of intelligence, appearance, and physical ability. Diana Moon Glampers, the Handicapper General, and her agents enforce the equality laws by forcing citizens to wear "handicaps" such as ugly masks for those who are too beautiful, earpiece radios for the intelligent that broadcast irritating noises meant to disrupt thoughts, and heavy weights for the strong or athletic.

Here's a good video on the subject. It discusses the distinction between sexuality and beauty, elevating ugliness vs using it to communicate intent, and the communist origins of the movement.

If you want to actually see master server spam, this exact moment is your chance Badspot.
badspot you should add unicode/utf-8 text support for blockland if you want more sales across different regions instead of just english/latinx speaking countries
HEY don't say that about me even though I said racists are worser than pedophiles because Evar drew CP
johnny has tranny harem cabal just like kenko sigh
Him and Johnny has to be one of the worst hosts in modern blockland
Nope, jazz is still back to playing blockland and he still does the retarded shit to this day.
He recently hosted his city rpg gamemode and it went to shit because he kept resetting people's levels for no reason and being a crybaby bitch as usual.

Is Jazz even active anymore? I figured he had fucked off ages ago.
I miss the days when retards like johnny and jazz weren't a thing in blockland. Nowadays blockland is filled with users that cry over the smallest things ever.
miss thug posting in blockland
If you haven't already you should check out S&Box's default character models, namely this tweet: https://x.com/s8box/status/2095172396953313440
You can find other images, including female playermodels, by just googling "S&box sausage man." I don't think I've ever seen a game with a more viscerally unappealing character design. I think it has impacted the growth of the game; they're currently sitting at ~500 daily players.

Every single time someone says there is spam on the master server, I check, and something like the past 50 times it has not been true. All combined you have managed to make me waste ~10 minutes of my time typing in the same URL.
1,000 player servers is baste every month so no because he baste and ur not, ok?????
you know badspot you could host-ban the guy who spams 1,000 player servers every month
>Also fun fact about kenko is that when he dated that tranny in 2021 he was so protective of him he would usually ban people just for trolling the tranny.
Imagine being so socially retarded that you'd expect any other outcome from doing that.

>imagine if Schlep made a video about brickadia...
If he actually did that would've been generational because the moment he does an investigation against brickadia people would realize brickadia is way worser than what roblox did.

blockland rebuilt is way worse lmao
Back when kenko put out the trailer the BLrebuilt team was immediately glazing the shit out of it with the new "features" that couldn't be "done" in blockland.
Even though some of the features mentioned in the trailer were already a thing in blockland such as adding add-ons while the server was being hosted.
Also fun fact about kenko is that when he dated that tranny in 2021 he was so protective of him he would usually ban people just for trolling the tranny.
Most of the b4v21 + BLrebuilt users are clowns who shouldn't be taken serious and the real reason kenko started up the project is because he wanted power so he could censor people.
LMAO the funniest part is that shit failed, it's sitting at 0 players currently what a fag.

Brickadia has DRM?
Bahahahha I actually just checked their steam page. They even have their own EULA too. What the fuck. Not serious developers!

i mean yeah brickadia drm is more retarded than what blockland has currently
Brickadia is You Will Own Nothing software because hurting someone's feelings will get you banned from the Discord. You'll be unable to see almost all of the "community" activity once this happens. You generally can only have one Discord account because it requires a phone number, or if you somehow escaped the requirement, it will reap you randomly one day.
somehow blockland won by doing nothing

The Brickadia people are totally insane. They seem motivated entirely by spite from BLF drama that happened almost 20 years ago. They've been in early access for like a decade because they have no idea what they're doing. Despite wanting to make "Blockland but betterer" I am pretty sure they still don't have mod support outside of letting you load custom scenarios and prefabs, which are pre-approved on their website.
They aren't serious about making a successor to BL and they're permanently tainted with the reputation of "that blockland ripoff with constant pedophile discord drama."

What do any of this have to do with Blockland, just delete Brickadia shit from your computer and play Blockland.
I might have to get zeblote's payment history to see what the fuck he's been spending his money on cause how the hell do you blow through most of the money made from brickadia.
And that's crazy too he recently lowered the price of the game to $20 because he realized people aren't paying that much for some sandbox without mod support.
The internet has gotten soft over the years and I'm not surprised some blocklanders fell victim to it.

I already spoke with my lawyers on the phone and I'm planning on filing legal action against Brickadia and Zeblote himself for intentionally harming me and other users on their platform even when he was aware about it.
I'm expecting an $5,000 payout after this is settled out of court but of course zeblote probably spent that money on fursuits already

Brickadia is the AIPAC for BCC (Blockland Content Creators) and let me explain why
For one, anytime you bring up some good points about how brickadia sucks more shit than any indie game made by some indian some random admin who hasn't even touched blockland in 5 years will scold you and most likely tell a brickadia mod about you.
This has happened to someone in 2023 on the BCC discord and they got "mistaken" for a "block gang" user which is the most shitty excuse anyone can come up with to ban a user for shittalking their game filled with at least 50% pedophiles and 50% groomers.
I've actually heard rumors that com members lurk brickadia and zeblote hasn't even taken action but if someone makes an opinion about their game you just get instant banned on the spot.
What the fuck type of game does this shit?
Zeblote fix your shit you already got negative review bombed by multiple people because you faked a hospital visit to avoid paying your developers stupid nigga.

IMHO there's a simpler rebuttal, though it only applies to random navelgazing shitposters like me rather than someone who's a potential business contact, actionable bug report, friend, or whatever:
Is the thing you're thinking of responding to not interesting enough to respond to? Then it doesn't matter whether it's AI, ignore/dismiss it.
Is the thing you're thinking of responding to interesting enough to respond to? Then it still doesn't matter whether it's AI, respond in kind.

That's fair. I admit my comment was made of some extremely specific autism. I just wish the colloquialism that had been chosen wasn't so zoomer-coded.
While I'm here, are there any updates on the full release for this game? I played the demo ages ago and liked it so much I 100%'d it, which is rare for me. The world needs more platformers that aren't spike-slop.
I don't think that's LLM output and I'm going to give you a long explanation of my reasoning, even though your attention span is far too cooked to read it all.
- It opens with a first person account of having thought about this topic outside of the current conversation. LLMs will do this, but you have to prompt them in a particular way like "don't you hate it when..." if you just say "write a comment for this article" they mostly won't refer to existing outside the chat.
- The phrase "getting new games so absurdly long" is valid english and used colliquially, but it throws ESLs for a loop because the target of the adjective "long" is completely implied. LLMs would lean towards structure like "for a long time" because it's more readable, and if they don't produce easily readable output they get killed by ESLs in RLHF.
- Non-uniform attention density. Real people care more about different things and less about others, so you get some dense paragraphs and some single sentences. An LLM will try to say the same amount of stuff about each part. It won't write paragraph about 6th gen with lots of parentheticals, then write two sentence fragments about 8th gen.
- Exclamations like "STEREO SOUND!". If you tell an LLM to act like this, it'll sprinkle excitement all througout the comment. But again, real people care different amounts about different subjects, so they'll only get excited in some parts and stay flat in the others.
- The post generally favors information and opinion over clarity. Acronyms and technical jargon are used without concern for introduction or understanding, the context is enough. Humans will have strong ideas and weak clarity like this, where LLMs will have weaker ideas expressed more clearly.
I don't blame you though, I once read something I had written to my own family and they briefly questioned if I had used an LLM.

"Retro" is a relative term that has been used to describe every time period from the 1920s to the 2010s. It is not an effective label for a genre you want to describe in absolute terms. Some day, Call of Duty Black Ops 7 will be retro, but it will never be a boomer shooter.
Words identify concepts that already exist. The term "boomer shooter" took off because it effectively labeled a game genre that already existed but did not have a unique identifier. It doesn't matter who makes the word, what matters is that it labels a distinct idea correctly and effectively. You can't fake it and you can't stop it.

The proper term for "boomer shooter" is "retro shooter," as in a shooter that apes the mechanics and design of retro shooters in some way. "Boomer shooter" is a zoomerism that was popularized by some fat retarded slob on youtube.
hey nigga lets see your hair before you go around critiquing
I love that this cartoon is legally an adult and still making retards mad
I love how blockland still has a very active player base spent the weekend jumping into Blockland servers and damn, the games still packed. Love how this old classic still has such a solid, active community after all these years.
2026-05-16 18:21:11 - this comment was written by an LLM, for sure. Weird world to be living in.
blockland forums is down, I think the ai scrapers crashed it
blf down fix please need to make drama thread asap
The funny thing about Control is Remedy used the same actress in their previous game Quantum Break and she looks way better. Softer jar and her hair doesn't look like a cosplay wig.

About Marathon since I actually quite like the game and its designs; I think part of the reason why some people think the characters are ugly are the colors choices for the faces.
Vandal for example (the first character in that section) looked quite odd to me when I first saw her, I think the two-tone face color was an attempt at a half-masked appearance but it just looks strange with both colors being light colors. I think the alternative color palettes that don't use flesh tones for the bottom half of her face look much nicer.
Triage (the second character) likewise looks quite odd since there's a lot going on with his face. Most of his alternative palettes don't do his face any favors either, especially the one that turns his face white lmao
Then once you get to a character like Theif she just looks like a regular Asian woman for some reason? Most of her alternative palettes don't bother changing the color of her face like with Vandal or Triage, leaving her face as-is. Even her eyes look relatively normal as well (discounting the neon irises and pupils), every other character clearly has strange looking eyes but you wouldn't notice it with Theif at a glance.
It looks like they tried to keep the characters average-ish looking while attempting to give them an alien appearance but it just makes me wish they had leaned into one or the other. Hell, just give them helmets and call it a day. That's what they were going to do in the first place with customizable characters but decided to go down the hero shooter route because yeah why not, fuck it who cares about that shit. Halo-style customization where you make your own Runner? LAME! Give the players skinny emo guy and a Master Chief ripoff

back to finding 5,000 comments of nonsense overnight
I have updated Blockland... I mean this article.
I have added entries for Gears of War, Directive 8020, Dead Space Remake, God of War Laufey, Cyberpunk 2077, Assassins Creed Black Flag Resynced, Forza Horizon 6, Devil May Cry 5, Marathon, The Sims 4, Dustborn, Horizon Hunters Gathering, Mortal Kombat 1, Outer Worlds, Outer Worlds 2, Rainbow Six Seige - 2B, Halo 2 Anniversary, Sonic x Shadow Generations, Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League - Harley Quinn, Homeworld 3, Fairgame$, Rage 2, Stormgate, Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League - Mr.Freeze, Call of Duty - Lara Croft, Control, Far Cry New Dawn, Ghost of Yotei, Gothic Remake, Oblivion Remake, Overwatch - Mei, Overwatch - Venture, Assassins Creed Valhalla, and Starfield. Also a few updates where the games flopped and everyone got fired.
Also apparently I broke the comment system several months ago and never fixed it. It was a nice break. Back to spam I guess.

Calm down Mr Zolezi
I have an idea. Ban everyone virtue signaling on the forums about hiding posts of other users. These people don't even play the game.
I'll admit I also habitually bump consoles up or down a generation purely on specs when discussing history, regardless of their market competitors at the time, especially with some diehard consoles like the SNES & PS2 getting new games so absurdly long. Nintendo since the GCN shamelessly recycling HW, while the OG Xbox was easily one gen ahead, stand out especially.
I mostly agree with the practical significance of your spec delineations, though I'd add a few things:
4th-gen: STEREO SOUND! With pretty sophisticated ASIC filters! Graphics ASIC-wise, you put only multiplane at the headline level, but I think dynamic color (most prominently palette rotation) and affine skew/scale transforms are also universal headline features of this gen.
5th-gen: True realtime 3D spatialized sound similar to what DS3D or A3D were doing on PC. In what's often termed the 16-bit/32-bit divide or "3.5th-gen," early 4th-gen systems instead of "smooth" Gouraud only do flatshaded 3D, like the SFX, SVP, 3DO, & Jag. Also, N64 devs (what you allude to goes for many other consoles with some or all of their "fixed" rendering actually implemented in software) did know how to reprogram the RCP, the issue was Nintendo prohibited them from doing so, and even when the rules were loosened Nintendo refused to provide their internal docs to licensed devs.
6th-gen: I wouldn't describe any of their publicly exposed features as shader-like in flexibility nor particularly prominent in period games, merely distinct enough from the contemporary evolutionary path D3D7 took to annoy emudevs. Aside from raw power, this gen's graphics advancements (in descending order of importance) can best be summed as HW TCL, high multipass texture/shading limits, and asset decompression (e.g.: S3TC.) Also for that reason (the only one of these features missing was HW TCL, easily offset by its tile-based culling that would take another decade for nVidia/AMD to do) I think the Dreamcast is firmly 6th-gen.
7th-gen/end of history: You mention compute shaders as a possible nitpick, but I think a better dividing line for GPGPU is the shift from weird bespoke kludge APIs to Vulkan/D3D12. I'm not up on the current state of homebrew, but I think that hasn't been backported beyond 8th-gen.
8th-gen: Geometry & tesselation shader HW. Plus maybe the aforementioned Vulkan/D3D12.
9th-gen: NN & RTRT HW. I agree (hopefully local!) NN/AI may become a big thing in future partially or completely replacing everything we know about game internals (the Oasis Minecraft experiment is the viscerally mindblowing example I'd point to,) but I think RTRT deserves greater consideration as well. Though no games so far do this, full-scene RTRT (distinct from hybrid RTRT/rasterization) would allow the total abandonment of prebaked lighting, geometry, even polygons and sprites, bringing back alternative geometries such as voxels, fractals, and NURBS that were being experimented with just before fixed-function ASICs froze PC game graphics in the '90s.
Finally, while the first comment cautioned against mentioning PCs as inviting too much ambiguity, I think that directly equating 5th-gen onward with D3D/OpenGL versions would make the dividing lines a lot clearer. Similarly, even prior to the WinTel monoculture, direct comparison between consoles and more home micros like the IIGS, Amiga, ST, Towns, & X68k would be illuminating, especially since many directly influenced console/arcade HW. Also worth noting how large groups of consoles/PCs in early gens were identical, like the various Z80/TMS9918 platforms (Sega, Coleco, MSX, TI-99, etc.).

is there... any updates related to getting your github account back for the source code of the game? might be useful (to others) since, i never had a chance to try out the maps or like, other stuff when this game was at its peak by 2014.
apologies if this ends up being a little unrelated to this article.

Badspot please, there's players begging for help on the forums, begging for help on blockland.us, begging for help in the subreddit... only you can help them. It's probably like 2 people who are just... whining loudly... But only you can make things right.
Appreciate it man, thanks for the shout out.
ur speedkart server is down btw
are you going to release a update today
master server is being slow right now
Badspot and LEGO talked about the
Perennial.ninja doesn't link to the steam page unless im blind
the dreamcast was actually quite a capable system, mainly held back by it's lack of a better rom drive. Take a look at Resident Evil Code Veronica on both ps2 and dreamcast, the dreamcast version looks and runs better (although not the better game overall as the ps2/X version has more content)
but yeah I think it deserves to be in gen 6 considering it was running at 480p 60fps & the dreamcast is to the saturn what the ps2 is to the ps1

^ do that badspot, also what were you testing yesterday with speedkart?
Now is a great time to clear the Speedkart ban list!
bring back speedkart 2
now badspot your going to add a callback for setBlackout so it works properly with no client mods
He posts the update history for AoT then the server immediately goes down. How does it mean?
also are you able to update the openAL drivers
mr badspot can you add a callback for setBlackout so it works properly with no client mods
we able to get version 31 or no?
^ banning blids is not a thing
Now would be a really good time to ban all these BLIDs for spamming the server list (it's happening right now)
