Rayman Pirate-Community

< decided to take a leaf out of ^^ and ^^^'s books and calculate <'s own percentage of posts made during RD compared to <'s total posts. < came out to around 24% (9658/39697).

< should have some time today to finally watch Rayman Alive for <self. < is curious to see what people's been cooking up.

Well, it's a matter of dividing the amount of posts done on record days by the total amount of posts you've made. Then multiply by 100 to get the percentage value.

For <, <'s total post count is 52358. If < looks through the RD compilation and the final tally for this year, it seems < had made 12436 posts during a Record Day.
Therefore...
(12436/52358)*100 = 23.75%

Ok, <'s underestimated <self. Over a fifth of <'s posts are on Record Days...

< finds that understandable!

Though < feels like < set a way too high standard for < next year. < is gonna be in 12th grade then!

Since ^ is Canadian (I think), < wonders if ^ knows about or watched the Trailer Park Boys.

<‘s Apple Music Replay for august is… unexpected.

< is candian. all < knows is that every time its ottawa comic con, they come. Like every fucking time. They really love that place.

< forgot about record day
< has been replaying Rayman 2 with the Rayman control panel. Handy!

< says welcome back to Ambi! Hope ^’s having a good time with R2!

< enjoyed <‘s play of Lum O’ Grams. For the most part all the main puzzles were relatively easy for < to complete.

< Says to ^^!

Yo!

< completed Ray 2 , what a beautiful game. It strikes < how clever the design was, every level feels like a linear tailored experience yet the world feels like a real place and not just a videogame, which is a problem Mario 64 has.
Also with M64's neat flat surfaces and right angles it really shows the limitations of having limited textures that have to be stretched in unappealing ways, but the wonky geometry of Ray 2's levels lends itself to stretched and warped textures and it just adds to the charm. It kinda hides but also embraces the low-poly limitation and makes it seem like an artistic choice, like the world is made of paper-craft.
The only level < really didn't enjoy was the airship mines level... That was a real pain in the arse to get through.
On to Rayman 3! Let's see if it holds up to the nostalgia...

< will admit one of the things < really appreciates about the classic Rayman 2 is the almost painterly aesthetic it had. It's given the game a unique aesthetic and while it is slightly dated < thinks it's aged a lot better compared to the art styles and aesthetics of other platformers of the era.

< Is glad Rayman 3 kinda stuck with that approach, as it too has aged rather well < thinks

< agrees with ^ about Rayman 3 aging extremely well! (Though < always plays it with HD texture mods now, which doesn't hurt )

< found the conversation between Hugo and Rsandee about teendom and adulthood very interesting!

< uses a userscript to delete that link from the homepage, so that's not an option for <

Wait < is mister stone?? Since when??

Since the disappearance of your joke rank, < says!
< also says congratulations on reaching 8000 posts the other day!

< says thanks! But has < gotten <‘s tings?

< says yes, Humch distributed all the Tings! Just the system we use for RD Tings doesn't send automatic notifications for some reason, so it's easier to miss!

Oh okay! < will work hard for Edith up for the next year!

< thinks < would be Edith Up now if < weren't Monik (because of a SOTM win God-knows-how-long-ago ), but would have to double-check the ranklist (which < made)

< knows WP asked to give their custom rank to < because he said he wasn’t gonna use it..

< will have to check with Humch if that's permissible

Also < was thinking we should have a Mister Burns rank for next year – then < realized we already have one and that < completely forgot about it this year
