you're jumping to assuming the worst in people (very common for you)
what would they stand to gain for creating this thread and not actually working on it? a few GBAtemp warnings? the hatred of the community? they won't get "attention," they'll just get a warning point and a thread lock. occam's...
cough, there is. they did post that they're working on it again, with autosave enabled. "work in progress" means work is actively being done. there is.
and what have you ever done, may I ask?
they posted a screenshot of the nasc code before they lost it on a discord server. yes, jumping the gun on posting it was a bad idea, but this isn't a PoC thread. it says "WIP".
if everybody stopped posting, including everyone saying "MODS PLZ LOCK OUT OF HAND", i'm very sure the thread would die.
if you all want to move on so much, do it.
member: this is so out of hand it's ruining the 3DS scene too many notifications on my phone
me: unwatch thread, it doesn't affect the scene since it isn't about development at all
members: MODS PLEASE LOCK THIS IS OUT OF HAND-
multiple members: posts additional proof
person she doesn't like: edited kek x3
member: well no here's more screencaps from desktop as well as mobile
person she doesn't like: EDITED KEK X3 LOCK PLS
Aurora Wright: posts about something she doesn't like
GBAtemp: wow, that's pretty bad
the thing she doesn't like arrives: totally lying i did nothing
Aurora Wright: well no here's proof i'm not
GBAtemp: holy shit this shit flinging is terrible mods please just lock
the thing she doesn't like...
i wouldn't call this drama over a children's console. more like drama over someone being hacked, and being constantly made fun of for months because of their gender identity, code, or whatever the fuck else.
