Piscine Hivemind

Wizards of the Coast: gnolls are brutal and violent beasts, they’re dumb as rocks, the only thing they love more than murdering unsuspecting adventurers is eating them afterwards

Me: okay but what if some of them were, you know, chill, like they were just dudes? They’re still people, surely they can’t all be evil as a rule, I don’t like the implications of that

Wizards of the Coast: no they LOVE murder and they’re super evil. In fact, their god is really a demon, and all of them are also demon-possessed? They live in abandoned ruins and stuff because they can’t build their own villages or create anything, all they know how to do is steal and destroy. Also don’t feel bad about killing the baby ones when you’re clearing out a settlement, they’d for sure grow up to be evil no matter what, it’s fine

Me: cool that sucks, anyway I made a gnoll, she’s nice and her name is Sweet Pea

I mean, not necessarily. There are color palettes and techniques that look fantastic on a flat screen, but horrid on CRT.

Looks great here, but with a CRT filter? Completely obliterated.

Pixel art that wasn't designed to look good on a CRT doesn't always look better on CRT.

He has to be built with a completely different approach:
