Ah, I think I know what the OP is referring to. It's this post, in which namida shares a meme (in PNG format) about proliferating standards.

@The64Watcher Let me explain what that's about. So, in The Future Of Lemmini topic I proposed that we should re-invent Lemmini by merging all the best elements of the various versions (original Lemmini, SuperLemmini and SuperLemminiToo) into a single new version which becomes the new "Lemmini".

Namida's response is alluding to the fact that, rather than this "ultimate" version of Lemmini successfully making the others obsolete and triumphing as the universal standard, we'd simply end up with yet another version of Lemmini; people may still prefer to use te older versions, for whatever reason. That's the implication, anyway.

So, to be clear, namida isn't suggesting that we come up with a standard for Lemmings fangames - quite the opposite, in fact. He's pointing out that any attempt to do so simply creates another set of standards alongside all of the many existing ones. People generally tend to differ in their opinions about exactly how something should be done, so it's impossible to come up with something that will please everyone (and thus make everything else obsolete).

Hope that explains it

and this already flopped, ow

FWIW, I agree that this isn't a bug, at least in terms of Jumper physics.

However, there's a different angle to look at this one, as Simon alluded to: the splat pad is the source of the bug here, not the Jumper.

A case could be made for in-game gravity requiring splat pad interaction, and that would include the descent phase of Jumper and Reacher (and any other gravity-affected movement). I’d also then want to look at whether a splat pad should respond to upwards force as well (e.g. the ascent phase of Jumper and Reacher), making both positive and negative Gs a factor.

I suggest that it should either be left as-is or “fixed” only alongside these considerations, and certainly not in isolation as a Jumper bug.

The splat pad is the bug. It's also a feature.

I would agree with Icho here in there being no bug. It's similar to the case of a Lemming descending a slope of 1, 2, or 3 pixels in the trigger area of a splat pad. In this case, the Lemming never transitions into a faller and so therefore survives the splat pad. It's only if he descends 4 pixels or more, where he does transition into a faller. Then he will splat inside the splat pad's trigger area. The exception to this is if the Lemming is a floater or a glider. Then he's always immune to the splat pad, even if you don't ever see him pull out his brolly or gliding device before landing inside the splat pad's trigger area.
