Alright guys it's a repost, don't be alarmed. I don't think this exists on the
Internet outside of the Wayback Machine right now though, so yeah, I might as well
put this in a more accessible location.

And no, I'm not actually back, because I still don't want to spend my time on this
kind of graphical work.

I still can create graphics, though - if someone's trying to create an indie game
that he can sell for money, and he's looking for an artist, tell him to hire me.

You're free to reread this essay if you'd like

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is done. About two years ago, I promised a redrawn graphics pack. I've been
working on it, little by little ever since. Sometimes, I got huge sparks of
inspiration and just started tearing away at the remaining graphics to do,
while other days I simply couldn't figure out what to do for the life of me.
But, alas! Today is Christmas Day, the third anniversary of my discovery of SMBX.
Next year, today shall also be the first anniversary of the day I leave. Yes, you
have heard me correctly. I'm leaving for good. I have a few reasons why, as well,
that I'd like to explain before you download this amazingly realistic graphics pack
to replace your graphics folder with.

So firstly, you may realize that by my signature, I am Christian. This is true.
I do believe in the work Jesus Christ did two thousand years ago, and as part of
my beliefs in the Bible, God's commandments to mankind, and His plan for us, I feel
I've been... rather naughty by being here. Even though I've been as nice as I could
possibly be most of the time, it aches me to see you guys manifest some of the world's
deepest and darkest sins, such as sexual amusement, which I do not plan to explain,
except for the fact that it's rather self-explanatory that there's something wrong
if you feel the need to mention male genital parts at least once in a sub-forum.
Honestly, I really don't want to go any deeper into this, because I'd rather not
think about what you guys have made me see. What is seen cannot be unseen, nor
unremembered for a matter of fact. It can be forgotten, but it can never by erased
from your memory.

I also dislike, even though I've both seen and heard it everywhere, the fact
that you guys regularly swear. Using a word for another intention does not
change its offensive meaning. Oftentimes, you'll probably swear at people to
gain a reaction. To that extent, you have succeeded on my part. To make them
fall into the same vulgar bandwagon, though, is not something you've done.
One too many times I've thought it okay to say "what the hell," which really,
is pretty offensive in and of itself. I wish to seek more sophisticated and
interesting words in the English language than your vulgar swearing, which pretty
much nobody I meet will tolerate, so why do you guys perpetuate it? I've heard
it's a habit, and it's just wrong if you're able to make an actual habit out of this.
I feel Cloud made an extremely intelligent move on his forums when he added
"No swearing" as a rule. Of course there will be little children. And figuratively
speaking, I am still but a child. Though I may be the age of fifteen, there's really
nothing magical about being a teenager. You still have to abide by the rules, and it's
not okay to break any of those rules, which does include the Word of God. And just
because you begin to mature doesn't mean that you can be as offensive as the actors
on most TV shows are nowadays either, sadly.

I could go on, but time forces me to limit my discussion here. I shall sum this up
by saying that you have been very naughty pretty much always, and I do not
appreciate it. Your everyday speech sickens me, and the jokes you resort to are
more offensive than humorous. Though you have been kind, at times, I do not
appreciate what this so-called "maturity" has done to you. I do not wish to fall
into the dark habits you guys do, and separating myself from this immoral community
is the best option for me. I am deeply sorry for those who enjoyed my work here,
but I wish to seek a new life--a life that doesn't involve hovering over my eight-GB,
eight-core-processor computer 10 hours a day, 7 days a week. I already have improper
neck posture, and my skin is as pale as a naked mole rat's. Seeing as I'm forced to
hide my dark experiences here every Monday, when I go to a Christian-oriented coop
Monday school, I always sit away from the students my age and stay silent. I must
change that. Though I may have autism, nothing can stop my convictions of moralizing
myself and improving my life for Christ. I have sinned so very much by associating
myself with you guys, though you guys can be kind, and now it is time to repent,
in part, by following through with one of my promises and releasing the one
large-scale project I've actually been motivated to finish. I have unbound my iron
chains to this forum, at last.

These screenshots come mainly from the Invasion 2. I should have taken world map
screenshots, but I forgot. I did change the world map, though, for your information.

Why this style, of all the graphical styles I could have possibly done? Why not SMW?
Well, it turns out, I also like realism, and I'm actually better at spriting Redrawn
graphics than SMW graphics. It's true. I hope that by ushering in these graphics,
you may learn the tricks and realistic effects icegoom, SNN, and I have put into
these realistic-looking graphics. In terms of realism, this has to be better than
the SMB3 style you favor and use more frequently than anything else.

And with that, I'm done. It's been a... pleasure. I bid you all farewell,
and God bless you so you may hopefully maybe, someday, repent, as I have done.
Have a merry Christmas. I know have, already.

Where's the download, you ask? Read the wall of text. That's the only way you'll
find it. I'm not going to let you tl;dr this time. Goodbye, and who knows?
Maybe we'll see each other one day in real life. :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Indeed, I'm still a Christian, so let me put this out there: Some sinners can
be saints. Don't let your own imperfection put you down. I don't plan to turn back
on my faith as there's actually someone... very special, IRL, that inspired me to
desert the kinds of people I was seeing at Knux's forums, which have apparently died.
Interesting turn of events.

also I should probably stop taunting you guys with the fact that I'm only here to
assist Wind and play the the SSB3DS tournaments, so here's some screenshots because
apparently good friends can't trust each other enough to just give them a download
link. I like how these Imgur links still work. It gives testimony to exactly
why I use Imgur for my image uploading needs.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, here's how it works: Create a new folder and move all of your default
SMBX graphics into it. Then, move the contents of the ZIP folder into the empty
graphics folder. Then, move these folders back into the graphics folder: mario,
luigi, peach, toad, link, player. Then you can launch SMBX (or the new Wohlstand
editor) and watch in awe as it loads all of these graphics without a ridiculously
long waiting time!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If I missed a folder that you should move back into the graphics folder, please
tell me via replies down below. If anything looks off or bad to you, please also
let me know via replies down below. Other than any potential issues you may have,
go ahead and feel free to talk about how innovative this style can be. Isn't it
amazing how you can fit this all onto a default SMW palette and 8x8 tile grid?

I still hid the download in the essay lol >:)
