And now I beat Bonk's Revenge. Strange week I've been having.

Part of me thinks I should start posting about more personal things on top of whatever projects I'm working on.

On that note, I bought a PC Engine and beat Bonk's Adventure on it recently.

A PC Engine + CD-ROM² + Interface Unit combo. The PC Engine is an original white model, with a Turbo Everdrive V2.5 inserted into the card slot. A standard pad is also connected. A screen from the ending of Bonk's Adventure. It shows 4 of the main bosses standing on Moonland as the text "Bye bye!!" is displayed above them.

If you don't see a link for my game B!T below this post, it's likely BlueSky is hiding it for being "unsafe". In which case, I call bullcrap because my games don't actually contain viruses.

Go to Settings > Moderation > BlueSky Moderation Service and either turn "Unsafe link" off or set it to Warn.
A setting in the BlueSky Moderation Service tab, as shown in mobile. Unsafe link Links to harmful sites with malware, phishing, or violating content that risk security and privacy. Off / Warn / Hide This setting is currently set to Off.

I believe for games without an upgrade path, they get treated as two different software titles. (i.e. two icons on the home screen)

You can tell which game is for which platform by checking the game's About page by pressing Start on the game icon:
The About page for PAC-MAN WORLD 2 Re-PAC on the Nintendo Switch 2. Software Type: Nintendo Switch 2 Software

My first art piece in months... and it's of a Robloxian.
Weird world we live in, man.

Since today is National Lynx Day, I should mention that I got my Switch 2 a couple of days ago and made the only comparison that actually mattered.

#nintendo #switch #atari #lynx #videogames
The Nintendo Switch 2 sitting next to the Atari Lynx model II. Not pictured is a comparison between the thickness of each system; the Atari Lynx is about 3.5x thicker than the Nintendo Switch 2.

And that's how Chole was (technically) born, ladies and gentlemen.

#cosmictoons #crazycompositions #chloe #chole
Chloe Alence, in her early 2019 design, says "hey guys". A crowd of people stand in front of her, with one of them yelling out "CHOLE". Chloe then yells "NOT WHAT I'M CALLED".

I think we can agree that this perfectly represents a good majority of us after last week's Nintendo Direct.

Alex is currently lying on the ground, presumably unconscious, with his limbs all over the place. A piece of text reads "Overdosed on the Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream trailer" with an arrow pointing towards Alex.

A conversation about the history of our OC's in a server I'm in led me to draw this. You'd think that titanium armor couldn't possibly be "one size fits all"...

One part of me really digs the look of this thing, and another part of me feels offended that you forgot about Keen Dreams.

Anyone know whatever happened to the guys who worked at Pixel Painters? For the uninitiated, Pixel Painters was a company that made games like Fuzzy's Space Golf and Dig It! for DOS computers back in the 90's. I have to wonder what they're doing these days?

It was me.
I did it.
Sonic the Hedgehog and Bertram from Jessie are inside of a locked prison cell. A piece of text says "i just don't like him".

If I'm gonna buy any color DSi XL, it's gonna be this yellow one:
A yellow DSi LL. It's exclusive to Japan.

That's precisely why I've been toning down the colors on my recent drawings a bit.

No, I don't apologize for using your mascot as a marketing ploy.
Parum says "Play Potato game. https://alexparr.net/games/potatogame (also read Circle and Pinhead while you're over there I guess)" with the words “As he speaketh!” underneath.

I'm curious to see how this plays out. Go nuts, people!

Circle and Pinhead - The Cereal Dilemma [12/20/2024]

Perhaps some questions are best left unanswered.

#circleandpinhead #comic #art
(Pinhead is holding two cereal boxes.) Pinhead: Hey, so I'm having a hard time figuring out which box of cereal to get. Pinhead: Should I get the big-name cereal or settle for the off-brand stuff? (Zoom out to reveal that Pinhead is standing at the front desk of a cinema.) Worker: Sir, this is a movie theater.
