If you already wrote in "default" or something as your preferred tileset, that's fine, but I should have explained the names of the default tilesets better in the survey.

Also, it's been pointed out that the "1360 pixel" screen width is listed as an option twice. Just pick the top one or whichever, really. I'll remember to merge them when processing the data.

This survey helped me remember the name of my tileset of choice (Hanuman), so thanks for that.

Do humans include players?

No, I don't think so. "The player" would have made a great 8th option, though.

[Bumber]

Magma could be considered a threat, if not also a way of life.
