Retro-style pixel artist • Aspiring indie developer
Pinned
Inspired by years of making levels in Mario Maker, I set out to create Hollow Moon, an SMB1 inspired GBC styled 2D platformer using Peach's movement as a mechanical foundation, and I gave myself 2 weeks to do it.

It's been a year.

-Can't step out in the sun because I turn to ash
-Can't swim because of an ear infection
-Can't drink because of antibiotics treating the ear infection

Man...

It is currently 3:18 AM. My dad and brother are drunk of their asses playing Guns n' Roses on a speaker in our hotel room while I (who is 1000% sober because I'm on antibiotics) is stuck trying to sleep

But jokes on them because they're gonna be hungover as shit in the morning and I'm not lmaooo

I think for the first time ever, I willingly clicked on a Reddit ad because it actually looked interesting

❗Sunscreen drastically increases resistance to light damage, but wears off when hit by water based attacks or after 5 turns have passed

Also funny story:

I'm staying at a resort for the week with my family, watched this on the flight, walk into the pool once I get there and what's the first song that comes on

Takedown

From K-Pop Demon Hunters
K-Pop Demon Hunters

Good movie, pacing in the third act felt a *little* weird but otherwise great. Songs were great, animation was excellent, just kinda bogged down by awkward pacing

Wanted to watch Mob Psycho 100 on a long plane ride tomorrow but Netflix decided that downloading more than 4 episodes at a time was so unreasonable that I wasn't allowed to do that

So I'm gonna pirate it when I get back

Just had a dream where I had a really interesting horror/worldbuilding premise and I want to make something out of it but I honestly don't know how or even what format I want to do it in

Also another fun one:

When Nintendo was porting Twilight Princess to the Wii, they ran into an issue due to the fact that Link is left handed but most players would be doing right handed motion controls

Instead of making Link right handed, Nintendo instead mirrored the entire game
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago

so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

Xenoblade will not only keep track of what gear your party has equipped during cutscenes, but it was also *remember* the gear you're wearing if theres ever flashbacks to those areas and cutscenes later in the game

Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing's Casino Park stage has cards of different Sonic characters. When making a card of Amy, however, Sega accidently used fanart of Sonia from Sonic Underground instead

This was patched in all but the Wii version, making it one of the few surviving references to the show

The thing I really like about everything I've seen wrt Smiling Friends is that it would be so easy to half-ass something like this and make something that vaguely feels like its inspiration, but actually going and hiring someone who intimately knows the style you want is so nice to see
AAAA WOW this is my first TV credit! Thank you to Zach Hadel, Michael Cusack, and Aron Fromm for inviting me on this amazing show to design SQUIM! 🤗
I've always had a passion for designing characters for fun ever since I was a kid! It truly meant a lot to contribute a character to Smiling Friends!

I'm gonna be flying back on the night of TGA and honestly scrolling through the thread of reveals and watching the fallout feels way more entertaining than spending 3 hours watching it anyways
