I don't mind if you help participate in any my projects without contacting me first as long as you're not actively edit-sniping me as I write articles or add uploaded images to tables as I'm uploading them, because this creates edit conflicts and makes it even harder for me to save edits on articles I'm working on. However, it's generally still polite to ask first if it's ok to assist in my projects. The answer will be yes unless otherwise stated. I just don't want anyone edit-snipe police for me should someone else create articles out of red links that I was planning to create or create tables of items that I was about to create. Any help is very appreciated.

== English (United Kingdom) language for certain games on Switch ==

Hey. I just came here after seeing one of [[User:PaperSplash|PaperSplash]]'s edits. In their edit they said that even though the English script for Princess Peach: Showtime! is just the same one it’s put on separate en_US and en_GB language files in different folders, so English (United Kingdom) was added but I removed it after. Eventually I thought of readding it but with a note somewhere. The only problem is I couldn’t put a note after “en_gb=y” explaining that. I tried what I could, but the note still wouldn’t show up. How should I add that note? [[User:CarlosYoshiBoi|CarlosYoshiBoi]] ([[User talk:CarlosYoshiBoi|talk]]) 19:35, February 4, 2025 (PST)

== Regarding sprites and all that ==

I apologize if I come off as... dogmatic or anything in regards to my opinions on sprites and borders and all that. I do want to say, however, that I get a visceral feeling of revulsion when I see them cropped like that, not unlike what some people might get from trypophobia or something like that. It sounds really silly and I wish I didn't have that, but that tends to impair my judgement a bit after I see it. Again, I'm sorry, but I wanted to explain where that behavior comes from, and I'll try to keep my reactions under control from now on.

== Obnoxiously flashy sprite palette cycles and how to deal with them ==

I've come up with a plan. The most "common" flash palette will be uploaded after being slowed down by a factor of 4, which will be noted in a description. To account for all of them, a separate image will be linked to from the description that displays a [https://www.marioboards.com/attachments/51682/ completely static chart] showing all the possible palette combinations and explains the "accurate" speed and frame order. This will avoid eye strain/epilepsy issues and gallery bloat while also avoiding missing information (as I find palette cycles to be another interesting not-quite-behind-the-scenes detail about how the game works on a visual level; besides, we need to point out how one of the SMAS SMB3 invincibility flashes [https://www.spriters-resource.com/snes/smassmb3/sheet/203586/ looks suspiciously like Wario with red shoes]). Of course, this'd all be avoided if 80s Nintendo hadn't been so flash-happy, but that's what we have. By the way, one of the White Block images already existed, and three are linked on the White Block page itself for the purpose of a comparison. I'd request at least the first of them, but ideally all three be restored, with the previously mentioned slowdown implemented. By the way, what about [[Bull's-Eye Bill|Missile Bill]] and ones like them, which do flash, but only between about two visible colors, making them less problematic in that respect? I'm curious of your thoughts on that. Thank you for the concern (and for cutting down the work-load/potential eye issues for myself, lol). [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 12:01, March 6, 2025 (EST)
:Yeah your suggestion is a better solution than uploading all variations of the images at once, I understand why you did what you did and why you felt it was necessary to document them. I had to do what I did because multiple people did complain about how viewing the images caused discomfort so I had to quickly step in to stop it (there's a reason I slowed down the animation of both [[Whirly Fly Guy]] sprites). The Bull's Eye Bill did see complaints, including from my sister, so I do suggest also making it just a bit easier on the eyes. I personally don't have as much issue as the flashing blocks but I could see why they wouldn't like it. BTW could you link which ones I deleted, I can restore them for you if that's what you'd want. {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 11:37, March 7, 2025 (EST)
::These were the three: [[File:SMB3 White Block sprite player land a.gif|class=blackbg|Held by player]][[File:SMB3 White Block sprite Buster Beetle land a.gif|Held by Buster Beetle]][[File:SMB3 Active White Block.gif|Thrown]]. That Buster Beetle one is the worst because it's 1 frame-per-second in-game, and unlike, say, the opponent cars in ''[[Famicom Grand Prix: F1 Race]]'' which keep a consistent "black and white go here" system to them to make them blend into another color (ie, red and blue for purple), it also has outline flashes. I've made another chart for the Bills (and everything else that flashes multiple color combinations as well), so I'll be fine with deleting the non-red ones, though them and Bob-ombs don't flash as badly since they only use two shades. I'd assumed beforehand this ''might'' have been better than that Whirly Fly Guy since what made that one extra awful was being eight frames covering the whole thing (including multiple outline flashes) and having the propeller animation on top of it, but yes, in practice, uploading 54 flashy block images was a bad idea on my part and I spent yesterday feeling a little dizzy in the head.
