Heh #SonicRacingCrossWorlds

A screenshot of a car from Sonic Racing CrossWorlds. The model is labeled as a "Moto Beetle" fashioned like a convertible New Beetle Volkswagen but with a front fashioned like a moto bug enemy from Sonic the Hedgehog with angry eyes for headlights, antenna-like metal protrusions on the hood in front of the windshield, and small mandibles at the bottom of the hood. The vehicle is white except for an off center red stripe with a thicker blue stripe next to it.

Why yes, I do still watch TV.

Screenshot of YouTube on Android with the "cast" indicator activated. Currently playing on YouTube is Scott the Woz's video about "Live Service Games". The TV Queue is shown with the "Scott the Woz on G4" intro listed prior to the current playing video.

I'll probably never see this screen again in its original form. At least I found this to recreate it. https://youtu.be/Azgxu6RsVVI

A black and turquoise New Nintendo 2DS XL playing a video called "Nintendo eShop (3DS) - Download Screen Animation" by MilesTheCreator through a third party YouTube app. The top screen shows the video itself while the bottom screen shows YouTube stats, description, and video controls.

My GameBanana home screen pleases me.

3 small PC game icons side by side.
The first icon on the left shows Classic Sonic the Hedgehog running towards the viewer, glancing to his left, the viewer's right. He represents Sonic Generations as it was released in 2011.
The second icon in the middle shows Shadow the Hedgehog skating towards the viewer. He represents Shadow Generations, released in 2024 as part of Sonic X Shadow Generations.
The third icon on the right shows Modern Sonic the Hedgehog running towards the viewer, glancing to his right, the viewer's left. He represents Sonic Generations as it was rereleased in 2024 as part of Sonic X Shadow Generations.
The arrangement is reminiscent of official artwork for Sonic X Shadow Generations.

Screenshot of The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog. Knuckles tells Tails regarding Rouge "It's inconsequential. Not worth mentioning." Tails, in response is making a face like Chris Pratt from Guardians 2 as if saying "what".

It'd look roughly like this. Bright color warning. First would be the raw video. Second is a very rough approx of how it'd look on a 3DS screen. An actual video would have to be lossless to work.

How the video file would look.
A still from the Bad Apple music video, with vertically stretched pixels and color distortions on upper and lower edges.

Approximately how the first image would look on a 3DS screen.
A still from the Bad Apple music video. Lines of blue, green, and red have been multiplied on top, filtering out the colors to approximate the color subpixels on the 3DS screen.

I was chilling with my brother while he was playing Yu-Gi-Oh when my Pokémon TCGP pack pull was ready, so I asked him to pick a number between 1 and 15. He told me 13. I opened the 13th booster pack and...

A rare Pokémon TCG Pocket booster pack with 2 full art Pinsir, a rainbow border Machamp EX, a full art Sabrina, and a full art Blaine.

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete dropped early and they added custom designs?! But only by downloading from New Horizons? That's a shame. I wanna design my own, but I don't have a Switch. And I can't use New Leaf QR codes. 😢 #acpocketcamp

A screenshot of the Custom Designs menu in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete for mobile. Text reads "Enjoy the custom designs created in the Animal Crossing: New Horizons game for Nintendo Switch! To download custom designs: Search for designs made in Animal Crossing: New Horizons by custom design ID." Two buttons are presented for "By Creator ID (ID starts with MA-" and "By Design ID (ID starts with MO-)"

With #acpocketcamp shutting down next week, I recreated as much as I could how campsites looked around the beginning.

A screenshot of an Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp campsite on an autumn evening. The campsite features a lot of anniversary furniture, from cakes to stages, all arranged to fit within the original small building area plus 2 amenity spaces. One of the amenity spaces is occupied by the first amenity: a basic tent. The second is filled instead with an anniversary furniture trying to emulate an amenity.

A screenshot of an Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp campsite on an autumn evening. The photo shows more of the western end of the campsite, where the camp manager's camper van reside. Of note, there is another van southwest of the camp: a veggie dog van is parked where guests used to park their camper van.

A screenshot of an Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp campsite on an autumn evening. This photo shows off the eastern side of the camp on grass, featuring a giant pop-up cake card from the 4th anniversary, a small stage from the 5th anniversary, a large stage from the 6th anniversary acting as an amenity, and in front of them all a large cake from the last anniversary, the 7th anniversary.

A screenshot of an Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp campsite on an autumn evening. This photo focuses more on the western half of the campsite, sitting on top of a white wooden deck. Cakes from the first 3 anniversaries sit on anniversary cake tables along the back of the deck, in front of a tent. In front of the cakes, still on the deck, sits a tree planter with a small sapling: the memorial tree. In front of the tree stand camp manager CyUzi, heartbroken expression on their face.

Going through some of my old tweets, i just realized that, while this idea wasn't fulfilled, i could probably execute a similar idea with arctic base.
