Aalasteir's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[MKMaffo - Commissions Open #3]

Newgrounds is a great place for commissions. I really like how the "Open for Paid Work" section is set up.

[#3 - Ladies and Gentlemen, the Beer has been Opened]

Haven't heard that voice in a while. I burst out laughing when the sussy guy said, "I’m your worst nightmare." Well, he’s not too far off.

Didn’t know Newgrounds had a resurgence in activity because of Russian bots.

Pico Day should stay Pico Day. Changing the name to appeal to newcomers is a bad idea. If it’s renamed, will it be called something else in the collection or still be Pico Day 2025? It should just stay Pico Day—it’s a celebration of all things Newgrounds. If someone can’t take the time to understand that, you can’t force them to care about Newgrounds.

How do you get people to give a shit?

You give people a reason, and I think we already have plenty of reasons for others to join. The challenge is figuring out how to communicate that. We have a strong community of people who care, and if we could show that to more people, it would make a big difference.

We just need to make this such an awesome place that people can’t ignore it. Trying to force people to join might not be the right approach. Instead, we can focus on making it great and letting that speak for itself. The big question is how to do that. It’s a good place to start.

[#2: wavetro]

Fantastic episode! It was awesome to hear about wavetro's process.

I enjoy hearing discussions and ideas about how to create a pipeline that fits a person’s creative vision.

Once you’ve developed a solid workflow, you can focus on making changes and understanding which parts of the process need improvement. With a reusable system, you can reflect on what worked before and why. Then, with new knowledge and experience, refine your ideas, and figure out the steps needed to create your best work.

Double King is a classic!

[#1: Send Us Your Moan Compilation]

Why isn’t the The Mario Pissing Collab on Newgrounds? I can’t find it. I saw a re-upload of it on YouTube.

Hey, I just want to say I really appreciate being able to listen to the episodes.

[Behind the Curtain]

Great song and cool lyrics! Awesome to hear you sing!

[Hydroland]

Sick beat!

Great job everyone!

wooo hoooo!!!!

[Episode 50 - It's Tom Fulp! & etc.]

Fantastic episode! I learned a lot about what it's like running NG from the administrative side, including its history and the complexities of international payment systems with all the tax rules and ever-changing issues with PayPal. I think it's amazing that NG, is ad-free—it makes the experience so much more enjoyable!

On a side note, The Cure's Disintegration is a fantastic album! I even used Disintegration as my wake-up alarm for a while. I eventually switched back to a regular alarm because I didn’t want to ruin the song.

Thank you all for a great listen!

[Episode 49 - It's dogl! & etc.]

Funny episode!

Ruffle is great! Big thanks to Mike Welsh.

[Episode 48 - It's irri! & etc.]

The plant man has a funny sense of humor.
