Umm... No need to flame, guy. Settle down. I'm just excited about this. I wasn't flaming the creator for not having the internet was I? I was asking if he still didn't have it. That's all.
Geez. Some people just have a REALLY short fuse.
There was no flaming present in his comments...There is a fine distinction between commenting and flaming.
He was merely restating the same thing that has been told to other people across this topic...
Nevertheless, it is justified to get tired of people asking for progress updates. Just try looking at the Chankast boards...Asking for updates is officially unacceptable there already.
Plus, you asked a question on a public message board, which implies you want a response; that would be regardless of whether it was rhetorical or not because it was not explicit.
Yes, we are all excited about these developments, however these are not on a consumer-type basis. Remember, people like you and me cannot get off our chairs (or rather, stay on them long enough) to start and finish a texture project on our own. Djipi is a human, but unlike us is devoted enough to have gone this far...any sort of "delay" (no such thing, really, but impatience distorts it into one) is going to be a by-product of being a human.
Look at it this way, if I PMed you that I wanted you to extract for me all the textures from Game X, would you really do it with me being a complete stranger? Or would you ignore or even flame back denouncing such a presumptuous request?
Same here, when being exigent over progress you are needlessly "taskmastering" over the ones that are revolutionizing N64 games. Even just asking if they "still have internet" implies that we are awaiting some sort of progress on this project (having internet means a release, etc). Therefore, it is not just asking whether he "just" has internet...it is the implied demand that comes with it.
Nevertheless, let us peacefully carry on in expectation...
