what do you mean by that, pimp? What sto'?

not in store btw

ok

You're sticking a pipe in your own bicycle wheels and then getting upset at other people when it stops, you're actively putting problems into the game, actively ignoring any requests to throw in a 5 minute fix to put an end to the harassment, you're quite literally causing a new outlet of trolling to be added to the game and telling people off when they ask you to remove it.

How is anyone going to assume your laziness is anything other than a bad faith choice from you, yourself? He who threw the first stone, no? At this point your stubbornness can only be read as one of two things, either you're intentionally doing it with malicious intent, or you've lost the files and have decided to give up.

What's even the end-game here? Why continue to place a target on your back and then cry wolf? Are you not at all concerned that lashing out at people instead of fixing it risks getting you blacklisted from having your items added to the game?

Yes, you get harassment, that sucks, we understand, but you were delivered "rightful criticsm" delivered incredibly politely, but you were outrageously toxic to them, blowing them off entirely, worse than even someone as obnoxious as Zesty would do.

All you had to do was invert the paint regions and the controversy would immediately go up in smoke, yes, people who are painting theirselves in full slate outfits are trolls, but it was YOUR mistake that allowed someone to troll people with this item, for ignoring workshop creation 101 with team readibility with paints, and it was YOUR mistake to not go "oh shit whoops sorry" and patch it within a day of it releasing into the game.

There’s rightful criticism and there is continually being berated with insults on my profile and messages for an item i have no control getting in the game. It’s definitely not problematic, when the only people who paint items slate are obvious trolls and they are 1/50th players i encounter. If you die to a slate colored pyro, i’ll chalk that up to being a skill issue for you, because i’ve never had a problem with it.

Actually insane how you created one of the single most problematic items in the game, received rightful criticism, had an insane meltdown about it and then proceeded to stretch and twist the narrative that this is somehow harassment. I'd imagine Valve blacklisted you from ever getting your other submissions in the game because this is the most delusional display I have ever seen from someone.

One of the many items accepted into the game and it causes me to be harassed by a smelly youtubers fan base. I’ve had to block A LOT of people

one of the most polite comments ive ever read on the workshop and it causes a meltdown

You know I thought you were fine. But your response makes you sound childish. But hey, you got it in the game and now players enjoy pretending to be the other team

I hope the proceeds you got from making this god awful item went towards your autism medication with a response like that

damn ur an asshole

For one, I'm not affiliated with Zesty. In fact, I honestly hate the way he hyper-fixates on stuff in the rude way he does.

And secondly, I'm sorry if I upset you with my question. I was wanting to talk about this stuff in a respectful manner because I feel like this is something that can be improved and can be discussed in a way that doesn't involve insulting one another.

Believe me, I'd be a bit upset too if someone wanted me to change something I spent time on. And at the end of the day, that is your decision and I completely respect that.

Either way, I'm not trying to start 'drama' with you or anything of the sort. I'm just presenting criticisms that have been brought up and trying to find a sort of solution. Which I understand isn't perfect. I'm not a designer or anything, and that's why I wanted to at least talk with you about it.

But if you're not wanting to have that discussion, I get it and I will stop commenting about it.

Have a good one. o7

@sandwich

Tweak my cosmetic?

how about i tweak your mo...

Man i had the perfect roast, here's what i'm gonna do instead.

I'm gonna imagine you never wrote this, and that Zesty Jesus was a functioning member of society.

Have a good night..

P.S. Get the fuck off the computer

Hi, I know you've likely been asked about this several times before, but would you consider potentially tweaking this cosmetic?

I'm only asking this because admittedly when paired with other cosmetics, it can result in a loadout that is significantly more difficult to differentiate between teammates and opponents because of the pairing of whitish pants with paintable dots.

I understand that any changes to this cosmetic would go against the original idea, and I respect that. However, perhaps it would be a good idea to change the color of the pants themselves.

Mainly just to make it easier for players to tell at a glance. My suggestion would be a darker, more saturated color of red and blue. That or just removing the whitish color entirely and having the only difference be the polka dots.

If not, I'd love to hear your thoughts @unusualsandwich on discord

BTW I'm not reaching out to hate or anything like that, I just wanna try to work on a solution for these potential issues

I understand they are supposed to be clown pants, but the only thing I don’t like about them is the poka dots. I love the belt and the boots though. This is a great cosmetic.

perfect cosmedic for pyros who use the backburner
