looks like enough colors that even imaginary races like his otherkin friends from the third harvest moon of aquaris could claim their spirit animal's skin resembles

Not enough for racial diversity? Just how many shades of brown does a game need to keep these sjws happy?

Funnily enough, you'll never hear them complain about the lack of yellow in the NES palette.

>> No.3070342

>>3070296
What does that even mean? Shovel Knight still used the NES palette, though they added one or two colors. One for one of the boss' beard IIRC.

I'm pretty sure that's not what he was saying. Platforms with restrictive palettes can make it difficult to represent characters with a lot of different skintones, which limits your ability to base a setting around said characters. This is especially true with monochrome platforms.

The problem with the NES comes from the limited selection of simultaneous colors you can apply to sprites, not necessarily the lack of colors that exist.

...
And this thread is obvious bait.

Is that one of the devs? Fuck I almost wish I didnt buy the game if hes going to be a fucking cuck. Shovel Knight is a really fun charming game why do you even need to bring race and shit into it. Fucking leftists man

Did he really wear that shirt, whoever that guy is (presumably a Shovel Knight person)? If that isn't a shoop of some sort, goddamn, what a pandering worthless fuck. Not even /pol, but why the hell would you try to bring some political statement into a frigging game conference, not to mention retroactively coming up with an explanation for something just to make yourself look more PC?

It's funny you should say this, because Shovel Knight (and all the main characters in the game) have masks on and you can't even tell what race they are. I played the game and I'm guessing that it's just the random NPCs about the towns that are racially diverse, and I didn't even notice. That's what's so fucked up about this people. Nobody else notices this shit. It's basically only them and the uber right wing /pol/ types who are so obsessed with race. Says a lot about these morons really.

>> No.3070384

... or is it /v/ this time? I can't even tell the difference anymore.

Either way, OP should kill himself.

Most people don't even know the NES lacks a true yellow. Though I think it's for the better, true yellow is an ugly color, while the NES' stand-in is pretty nice looking.

The IBM CGA/EGA/Tandy palette lacks dark yellow. I mean, the card actually does generate it but they put a circuit in the 5153 monitors to reduce the green level, effectively turning it to brown. Most clone monitors then copied it.

Monitors such as the Commodore 190x don't have this feature so they will always display dark yellow, also the composite output on CGA cards.
