@MasterHand4444 - @Aalasteir (Q) - Index

Q: How did you discover the Newgrounds website? What made you decide to join the community? Do you feel differently about the site now compared to when you first joined?

I discovered Newgrounds through Friday Night Funkin’, and decided to join so I could talk about FNF with its core fanbase. I feel differently now because I realized that Newgrounders actually HATE Friday Night Funkin’ and want ninjamuffin to be publicly executed via hanging.

Now that I’m a Newgrounder, I think I want that, too.

Q: What do you think about and collabs?

You should only collab for the clout. None of that “creative fulfillment” or “meeting new people” bullcrap. They should call them clout-labs.

Q: What have you learned about yourself making music?

I’ve learned that Tom Fulp hates me deeply because he doesn’t frontpage every single one of my tracks and personally PM me congratulating me on my most recent earth-shattering masterpiece. I wouldn’t be surprised if my account gets suspended for speaking my truth on this matter…

Q: What have you learned about yourself through your Front Page Blog posts?

I’ve learned nothing. In fact, frontpage blogs are now canceled forever. Tune in next month where I’ll write something actually worth a flip — a list of the top five hottest Skibidi Toilet protagonists.

Q: Which specific user do you think should be banned from the forums, and why? 

Aalasteir, of course. Have you talked to that guy????

While they’re at it, they should ban AhWham as well. Don’t ask me why. It would just be really funny.

Q: Can you tell me the story behind your username, MasterHand4444?

No joke, true story — I just really like Super Smash Bros. and the number four.

Q: What is your perspective on the value and role of reviews for creative works?

Reviews for creative works are completely worthless. I would deeply appreciate it if everyone on Newgrounds treated the reviews like a comments section and blindly voted five stars on every single submission they see.

Q: How did you discover the site?

I discovered the site through Friday Night Funkin' and it's many mods.

Q: What do you think about the Newgrounds community? Would you say it is heading in the right direction?

The Newgrounds community is pretty good and one of the best communities related to creativity, I would say it's heading in the right direction, just needs a few tweaks.

Q: What's the story behind your name?

Okay so the day when I joined Newgrounds, I had cereal and for absolutely no reason I thought, "Hmm, what if my milk was boiled." I then learnt that boiling liquid does not mix well with the mouth.

Q: What are some problems you see with the Newgrounds website?

The community going buck wild when an M or A rated submission wins the daily award.

Q: Is Newgrounds a good environment?

good question.

Q: How did you get interested in creating animations and art?

As well as being addicted to cartoons as a kid, I watched lots of storytime animations such as JaidenAnimations and Gingerpale (do they even count as storytime animator?) and parody animators such as Egoraptor. I then wanted to make animations and art.

Q: What is the community of Game Jolt?

The community of GameJolt is pretty much just Twitter but better and also a lot of FNF mods and FNAF fangames.

@CaioAdriel2006 - @Aalasteir (Q) - Index

Q: How did you discover your art style?

I discovered my artistic style when I was a child! I learned to draw alone at home, drawing on several notebooks and sheets of paper. After a few years, I learned to draw alone on my father's computer and I intend to continue developing my artistic style in the next few years!

Q: What do you think about animating?

I think the animations are incredible depending on the creator's ability to make animations that are considered interesting to please the public!

Q: Who made Madness?

obviously Matt "Krinkels" Jolly! I'm a fan of Madness Combat!

Q: Are the users of the site working hard enough to make the experience worse for everybody, or are they not doing a good enough job and they should try harder?

both! I think! I don't know! Even though I'm not the type of person who puts in a lot of effort to deliver something good and of quality, I generally always do it with the amount of time I have and as much as I can do!

@Nebulate - @Aalasteir (Q) - Index

Q: How did you choose the name Nebulate?

My username is from an old fakemon of mine. It was some silly black hole DJ. The name is a portmanteau of "nebula" and "annihilate" beacouse its a black hole. I chose this name beacouse it sounded cool yet laid back.

Q: How did you join NG? What do you think about the place?

FNF got me into NG (wow, shocker). I like the artstyle and the character designs that came from FNF and that atracted me to NG. I was also wery into lerning about internet culture at the time and NG is a time capsule of internet culture. But my thoughts on the site: i thing its great. I like that peaople here can show what they made without the flame wars that happen at Twitter and Tumbler. Its cool that peaople arrent assholes here.

Q: What are some positives and negatives with NG?

Positives is that the community is chill with what other peaople is posting. I dont see that mutch hate, there of cource is some, but compared to other sites, NG has the peaople that respects other users despite skill/experiance/whatever. I also like that the site is edgy at times but fully know where to stop. Witch is somthing i feel is missing alot of other places (online and in the real world).

Negatives must be peaople that just cant understand how to behave here. Yeah there will always be a jackass on NG (jackasses are a constant on the internet) but also peaople who who beleave that they are not in need of critisism. You know THOSE users that cant see the difference between actual critique and "lol ur art sux". I beleave that art shoud be critique in a constructive way even tho it might sound harsh. And i think those type of users bring down the NG spirit.

Q: Top 10 suggestions you have for making NG worse?

1: Having the NG holydays on a different date than they are suposed to.

2: Getting bought by Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg or those greedy asshole billionares.

3: Waves of THOSE Twitter users joining the site.

4: FNF GF destroying the site (like christ cant she just drink that beer another place).

5: Clock Crew does a heist and steals the password to Tom's acount.

6: Pico and Tankman getting replaced by a different face for the site.

7: Discontinuing FNF.

8: Darnell burning classified info about Pico's School 2.

9: Beeng as unstable as Art Fight (if you have used that site you know its held together by duck tape and a prayer).

10: NG allowing photos and/or irl videos on the site.

Q: What do you like about drawing?

I have always enjoyed just for how simple it is to get around to it. Yeah you have todraw alot if you want to be skilled. You cant start skilled. I like to see the progress i make when drawing. Compared to the the trash with no god i used to draw at the start of my NG carrer i love the fact that i have improoved so mutch. And while i find it difficult to get out of my confort zone i still love to see my progress on my art journy even tho it has not been that long since i properly took art seriusly.

Q: What is it like living in Norway?

Better than the other Scandinavian countries (gottem). But to be serius: you get a great connection to the place you live in since towns and cities are very far apart from eachother. And even tho i am not the guy to go climbing the mountians: i still get a sense of pride when i see them from a window. I feel proud to be a Norwegian citizen.

Q: When will the moderators rerokee my right to post news?

What?

Q: What do you think about collabs?

I like some of them. And im not as big of a fan of other. In terms of art collabs here i prefer the art collabs that arrent in the art portal. Like those "game" collabs that yeah, some of them are practicaly glorified powerpoint presentations. But other game art collbs that are actual games are reely good stuff. But when an art collab goes in the art portal. Its not for me. I do understand why others love those types of collabs. I just dont find them as engaging.

@M-kirbs - @Aalasteir (Q) - Index

Q: How did you choose your name M-kirbs?

I mentioned this before, but it stemmed from M-kins in Pokemon X and I swapped kins with kirbs cuz I'm THAT much of a Kirby fan...to point where it's practically my brand!

Q: Who is Kirby?

My beloved pink boyo who should be cherished...aaaaand kind of a god killer to say the least. The actual answer is to put simply a pink puffball made by HAL Labs who loves eating and copying foes A LOT (in that order).

Q: How did you get interested in Newgrounds?

Admittedly, I WAS one of those people who joined in through FNF, buuuut my first exposure to NG was stuff like Brawl Taunts that lil' kirbs REALLY shouldn't be watching at her pre-teens, but I don't care about the swears and sex jokes, I just find em funny! My big bro made an account which led to me to make my own, no regrets since.

Q: How did you get interested in creating art?

I've always had a passion for art, ever since I was MUCH younger I drew stuff from cartoons and such. I was a weird child back then for making paper cut-out puppets and stuff.

Q: Which user should be banned from the BBS permanently?

Aalasteir...no, I'm not being held at gunpoint to say that.

Q: How do you feel about Newgrounds?

Love the place with all my heart, it's my first stepping stone into the digital art realm, for better and slightly for worse (well, DEFINITELY for the better). NG has a lot of history that I still have yet to learn! Just uh, also very grateful I can keep my innocence more with content filtering, don't wanna see that gross stuff. O_O

Q: If you could hypothetically give a message to @TheShokBlok what would the message be?



I love you...platonically, of course.

Thanks for having me for this lil' interview thing!

There are many masterpieces from childhood here! Of course, I know that much earlier everything was no better, or even crazier... But now it's even perfect here! As for the community, it's great too! Of course, there may be arguments now, but at least they don't escalate into a typical "Twitter" drama

Q: What do you think about the Forums? And should I be banned from them?

The forum system is quite convenient here. And as for you, you didn't break any rules in the forums, so definitely you shouldn't be banned! Well, if you broke the rules, you should have been banned

@XwaynecoltX - @Aalasteir (Q) - Index

A- No lol

@Malachy - @Aalasteir (Q) - Index

Q: Do you look down on me because I'm only level 25 and you're level 51?

Pathetic.jpg

Srs answer: I am so bad at voting regularly and in the old system I never remembered to actually deposit even when I voted. NG Logs had a stat for missed deposits and I think I had missed 10 whole years worth despite being here every day.

Q: When you read a books, do you feel smarter than people who don't read books?

I read a lot of nonsense fiction for fun so I don't feel like I'm getting any smarter. But if you can't read then you don't understand what I'm saying in this interview. What are you doing here? Go watch adult swim you big dummy!!

Q: Why am I not banned from the BBS?

Who says you aren't >:)

Q: As a review moderator, do you feel that people have become better at writing reviews recently? (2024 to 2030)

Worse. Nobody takes pride in really examining the nuances of tentacle hentai anymore. It's a shame

Q: Is it lonely being at the top of the worst moderator list? Do you feel like the other moderators are not trying hard enough, or is it because you're just that good?

It took a lot of effort to come back after over a decade of losing the vote but I'm winner once again! @ZJ and @dobio can suck it.
