Really appreciate your work, @SodaSoba. Sucks about the takedowns. It’s fucking art, man. Come on.
Yeah it's a weird thing where I guess a reproduction of the cover just isn't considered fair use it something, I'm sure I've made some covers that were higher res than anything out there too.
I understand Nintendo want to protect their IP and make sure people aren't using the artwork for nefarious reasons, but there doesn't seem to be rhyme or reason for it...
That being said I can only guess they may eventually target the repo.
I have an offline copy, the repo is over 5300 with the majority being vertical.

Might be worth making a torrent of the whole lot, hard to take down and always available for people to selectively download particular titles if they don't want the lot. Maybe wait until you feel like you're pretty much done making new ones tho?

Or maybe a MEGA link.

possibly in the future if they do go that route, I doubt they will but I'll certainly keep this in mind!
like I say I've not had the repo hit but I have offline backups so anything like that should not be an issue

Or maybe a MEGA link.
Doing that now, I'll update this post with a link and start adding it to my signature

Just a quick update on what I've done with my repo(s)
Vertical icons will remain as the main repo which nxgic currently has this should help with downloads and extracting times.

If you want square (Default) icons you have 2 options:
You can add the repo

sodasoba1/NSW-Custom-Game-Icons-square

On the next line In the icon repository: field in nxgic settings

Or if you only want square icons just add

sodasoba1/NSW-Custom-Game-Icons-square

in the icon repository field to the end of the default repo of mine that's there.

Lots of games are missing the icons from all different sizes. Is this due to copyright?

It's due to the icons in the repo being made mostly by myself.

I've had a few pull requests with 1 or 2 additional icons but the majority of them are made by me.

When you consider I've made over 4000 icons in my spare time it's easy to see why some games might be missing.

I also submit covers to steamgriddb, make themes and work on other side projects.

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
    +1
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
