Number 2. Unless you firmly believe there's no such thing as bad publicity.

Who let out 426?? I thought I was supposed to be in a windowless room!

(/j)

referenceICYMI, the joke is about SCP-426

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

God ~~that is~~ I'm one terrifyingly upbeat SCP while still being very anomalous.

Edit: forgot to follow my theme (read my SCP entry to understand I guess)

  1. But give them a super stereotypical American accent and make unpromted references to how American they are.
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

What about a goatee?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Definitely #1. But you can't ever make any reference to it looking like Big H in the game. Just make it so people say "... is that supposed to be Hitler?"

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thank you, yeah was going for more of a Ron Swanson, but now I totally see how people can see The Notorious H.I.T.

HIT? Hitler Is Toaster?

2nd one is cuter and funnier

That's actually how you defeat him.

For anyone curious, the game I'm working on is kind of inspired by The Stanley Parable, and you can check it out on Steam, maybe even wishlist (it would help a lot) : https://store.steampowered.com/app/2336120/Do_Not_Press_The_Button_To_Delete_The_Multiverse/

Der Humorless Toaster ist nicht hier fur dein scheisse!

2 for sure one has a confusing mouth-stache

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 month ago (2 children)

2, but make him look more indifferent and less angry I think.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Totally agree, 2nd face but I think straighten the eyebrows so he doesn't look mad

2 for me. 1 took longer to parse.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I need more background. Does it make good toasts?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yeah, it does. Like it has only one goal in life and that is to make toast.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Sounds boring. I'd say go with the top one.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Depending on what you're going for, 1 and give them a German accent. Otherwise 2.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Wasn't going for German that's for sure, although...

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I think the second one. Assuming the middle bit is a nose, fewer details make for better deadpan toaster expression

[–] [email protected] 220 points 1 month ago (8 children)

What's the first supposed to be, Adolf Toastler?

[–] [email protected] 113 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Good friend of Kettle Hitler

And they sit next to each other on the kitchen counter at Führer house

Oh, man... sorry it's coming off like that. Since it's called the Humorless Toaster, the main inspiration is Ron Swanson. At least that's what I was going for...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Just slap on a brown cutout mustache

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago

Yeah you got the mustache in that realm. I don't think it was intentional, but Hitler really did ruin the shortened mustache look.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Have you tried a design where it has a mustache for a mouth? As another lemming described, wider and wavy at the bottom. And then it can move up and down when it talks?

Edit: quick and dirty mockup. This would be my vote

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ah. I think the moustache needs to be wider for that. Also, a label might be in order. Ron Toasterson or something.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Agreed, wider and thicker with maybe a wavy/ ridge texture on the bottom half of the mustache and slight rounding/flaring on the sides that narrows to the top.

Feels like that's a good reference pic for OP.

Edit:

But I do prefer #2 more. Like others have said, it's simpler and easier to tell the expression.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's the perfect pic, thank you. I admit I was working from memory

Upvote for Hitler. OP, I don't know if intended, but a certain German politician was the first thing coming to mind
