It can't be that hard to implement, considering SCSN did it in a say. Also I really think you should need a video to understand "option to turn off animations".
Developing software is hard. I don't know what their code looks like, but depending on their design/implementation, it might be difficult to do this. I don't know the details of SCSN's patch, but maybe he just turned off their display pixels or something -- the point is, coming up with a solution that works well with their design may be more complicated than adding in a check box and changing 3 lines of code. The fact that many people here, who aren't software engineers, think that they know how to develop code they've never seen before better than the people who actually wrote the code and who are software engineers, shows a lack of respect.
Many people here think they don't deserve respect. OK, it's OK to think that. I don't. But if someone shows that they don't have respect for me, I'm not going to make their complaints the top priority just to shut them up.
As for the video, I was hoping to see that to satisfy my curiosity for what this thing actually does, since I'm not willing to put it on my computer. Based on my previous experience, it seems that videos are a great way to communicate other animation-related issues that I've helped with in the past, but that's a separate thing, more related to my desperate attempt to try and find some actual value in this.
Sorry if I was unclear about that.
I don't agree with you at all.
OK, actually I agree with a good chunk of what you said. I addressed most of it up there and the rest I feel like we can just agree to disagree. Cool.
I don't think it's really up to f.ds to explain to Making Fun what they're doing wrong.
You're right here. I'm bringing that up because there seems to be this attitude around here that we can all be jerks to them and complain about stuff in a non-constructive way (I'm not saying you ever did that, I'm pretty sure you didn't) and then expect to have our complaints be their highest priority. As long as we still have Goko to play on I really don't see what the rush is.
I'm streaming on this patch now.

Crap, I can't watch that right now. Please highlight?
