DoomSooth: There was nothing accidental about it. They had intended it to be black because dust bunnies are dark. Just because it had a black face doesn't mean it's blackface. People need to stop reading too much into things.
Just because Jynx was based on Ganguro (Literally a different name for blackface) and a Yokai doesn't excuse it, nor does it excuse Zwart Piet, but at least Chuchiel was a genuine accident and they quickly corrected the error.

I have no idea what a Jynx, Ganguro, and Yokai are. Do I want to know? Anyway, who ever heard of an orange dust bunny?

Jynx is a pokemon.....one whose original skin tone was similar to blackface before it got changed(at least in the US and some other countries) to avoid offending people with "certain sensibilities"(i.e. those you'd find a lot of on sites like twitter).....also Yokai are spirits/etc in asian folklore.

Well knowledge is a good thing usually....it's often better to be smart rather than dumb, and wise rather than unwise......say as unwise as the types who think/act like context doesn't/shouldn't matter, and that things as innocent as a black skinned dust bunny and a face mask in an episode of the golden girls(tv show) are worth getting bothered over.

Maybe it's a long lost muppet? ;)

Amanita said he's a dust ball because that's what "chuchel" means. :) The whole mess surrounding it is... a mess. Everyone sees racism, nazis, and whatever else where there isn't any. I just like continuity. If he had started as orange and then was changed to black, I'd say the change is just as stupid.

Let's remove darkness in games, too.

We can have:

Alone in the Orange
Orang(Darq)
The Call of Cthulhu: Orange Corners of the Earth
Orange Fall series
The Orangeside Detective
Star Wars: Orange Forces
Neverwinter Nights: Orange Dreams of Furiae
The Orange Heart of Uukrul
Orange Souls "I thought they didn't have souls."
Orangesiders

Maybe "Black" should be changed to "Orange", too.

Orange Mirror
Delta Force: Orange Hawk Down
1979 Revolution: Orange Friday
Orange Sabbath
Paint It Orange
Orange Hole Sun
Fade to Orange
Orange Betty
Back in Orange
Men in Orange
Orange Magic Woman
Orange-eyed Peas

It goes on and on. I feel so sorry for future generations that will have to put up with this stupid crap. You know it's going to get worse. Not worse before it gets better; just worse.

DoomSooth, GamezRanker, Darvond - you are a little bit off track with the topic :)
While discussing something else, please try to refer to the initial topic as well.

I was making a joke with that bit(hence the winking eye smiley).

That said, you make a few good points in your latest post.....i'd discuss em further, but I don't wanna derail the thread even further, so i'll leave it there for now. Toodles :)

I don't care if the new updates make the game worse. It would be nice if the updates could be opt-in for end users, even better if we could pick which patch we wanted.

For me, the goal of this request is to give attention to devs who make the updates available to GoG in a timely manner, regardless of how long the GoG turnaround is. Hopefully, by extension, that would shame the devs that drop a GoG release, and then forget about it for months, before maybe dropping a few patches, and forgetting again forever.

Also, yes. Feature parity for sure too. Didn't think about it being distinct from update parity.
