A tip for screenshots.
If you use VICE to take screenshots turn off the PAL-emulation to get screenshots with more realistic colours. |

GODDAMN IT!!! I just realised what is this new WD picture all about!
Sorry dude. The picture is a Post-modern release and its green due to the lack of snow here in Sweden. Try to look at the picture more of something like a tapestry. But it was close enough ;D

Now did anyone remember if there ever were problems with the green color? The red and orange colors, next to the gray ones did make some fuzz on the different C64-(vic) models. And clearly by saving a screendump made with Pal emulation there are some differences. But I mean on the real deal now.
The real problem with the thumbnails really lies in the fact that I believe that there are many people that are more active on csdb while at work, and lack the possibility of downloading the stuff. It is hard to judge a picture if it looks interlaced, and equally it is hard to judge interlaced pictures from superb thumbnails. (Electric is an excellent example, but there are other less famous artists on the scene with worse and in this case even better examples!)
The scene has transformed into a buffer reality zone where very little actually is happening on the real machine or even on the emulators these days.
We use tools to overcome even the emulator and this trend is something that will continue with every new graphic program and disc-utility. Face it this is not something new but has been there since day one. The screendump problem is that we want it to look like a real c64, because in reality most of us lack it. This type of compensation really speaks more of how we live our lives and the constant need to secure our scene over and over with concepts of standardization, ideas of truth and so forth.
