[up][up] And? Therefore? But? Also, not accurate. Look at post #2:

I don't think that is a good page image at all. I didn't even notice the character in the middle for a good minute. It's way too busy.

I'd go with Keep Until Better Image Suggested on this one. It's definitely not a macro (the original panel is formatted that way) and it is an example of the trope, but I can easily see how it could be unclear and the image itself isn't great quality.

[up][up]The implication being that nobody else pointed it out because it wasn't an issue. And what you quoted was about business, not legibility - the character can still be seen without much issue, but that person didn't notice him within all of the cats.

Which is an argument I can understand, and is certainly an argument against the image, but it doesn't support your argument because the image is still "legible", which is supported by his noticing the character after a minute.

[up][up][up]...I'll have to see how that ends up after being cut and resized, 'cause I can't quite picture it in my head.

Isn't there an enemy in Final Fantasy VII that attacks with a storm of needles, each doing exactly one point of damage?

   Evil is my favorite color.

You're thinking of Cactuar, which is in a lot of FF. X, VIII, VI, VIII...

[up][up]There are many attacks like that in many JRPGs.

[up]IMO, the one from X works best.

Cactuar, but his attack (1000/10000 needles) does a flat 1000/10000 damage. It's not really 1000x1 (since this could be reduced by defenses and therefore do nothing).

Hey, there's a lot of those, apparently. [1]

Gonna have to agree, that's about as good as it gets.

I'd crop off the dead space to the left, though.

Although this avatar-changing thing made it a bit hard to tally votes, I counted 8 people in favor, so it's up. Used lu's version, it's a bit sharper. Also updated the relevant pages for Image Source.
