With the recent Nidorina craze I'm waiting to see someone draw a cyan purple-spotted Nidorina, literally every one I've seen so far has been periwinkle blue-spotted
<--- more of this one pls
Render of Nidorina from version 1.0 of Pokémon Home. Her skin is a light cyan, and the outer part of her ears and the spots on her body are a dark purple. Render of Nidorina from the newest version of Pokémon Home. Her skin is now a very pale blue, and the outer part of her ears and the spots on her body are a darker, slightly teal-er blue.

(original by azullia/0xfc on discord) we got talking about upcoming racing games and
The handshake meme. The two people are labeled Tokyo Xtreme Racer '25 and Sonic Racing Crossworlds, and the handshake itself is labeled "An actually optimized Unreal Engine 5 Game".

A Discord screenshot with OP's name removed. It shows two messages that read "i have a theory" and "dig dug created deviantart".

Been using Ice River Run as my testbed for PMW2 maze behaviors so
Ice River Run's maze from Pac-Man World 2, drawn in Pac-Man Vs DS's style. The top left area is colored magenta, the top right is green, the bottom left is yellow, the bottom right is red, and the center is blue. The whole maze has a low-res style similar to the original Pac-Man game.

Ignorance of color calibration is why public perception of gen 3 Pokémon sprites is as fucky as it is

I can't even blame fansites for this because GF/TPC themselves cared just as little, see Box RS

(reposted to have cleaner sprites)

latest deployment I was part of at my job had this, plus wherever "client insists they made a config change that they very obviously did not" goes

not bingo but for a fairly small deliverable this is a lot
An edit of the Took Down Prod Bingo card from the OP, edited to mark Reused feature flag, "It's just a config change", Free Space, "It worked on my machine", and "Trusted input (Ariane 5)".

went down a #pokemon rabbit hole recently
The "Who knocked over my onions? You!" meme, depicting a Twitter user outraged at a knocked-over planter of onions and at the cat that knocked them over. Renders of Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle's models from Pokémon X and Y are edited over the planter and scattered dirt, and a picture of Ken Sugimori is edited over the cat.

There's such a clear gap between top tier and the rest, most other things not named Xu Wu are on a spectrum from alright to mid

objectively correct mhwilds sticker text
A screenshot of chat in Monster Hunter Wilds. The only visible message is a sticker showing a Seikret, a raptor-like creature, holding a wing to its beak in confusion, with the text "ΘΔ?" superimposed.
