Dolphin Dive and Super Izuna Drop. Nothing like sending a man 50 feet into the air and crashing him back down from low orbit.

"Weakling! This isn't a joking matter!"

Ah man, Clown Man was definitely a standout from Mega Man 8. Fun stage, fun character~

The fear is what makes her grow, and every time there's a visitor, she lies in wait until the right moment to spook the trespassers, their terror and fright being the fuel she needs to grow bigger, stronger, and most importantly... scarier~

I can't lie, I've been wanting to go back to beers and explore some more of the local brands in Texas. But I've been cutting back on beer a lot for the semester, so I'm a bit nervous that it's gonna hit me harder because my tolerance isn't the same as it was before.

"The Yandere Ogre Chief is Enamored with Me and My Cooking"

Some funny title like that, I'm sure

Cool temps, clear skies, perfect day for a walk or skate

Senshi, easily. Seasoned in your craft, but carrying a welcoming aura to everyone you meet. A sweetheart, for certain. ❤️

Sometimes I get recommendations from my friends and then try those out. Other times I just go back through the games I've already played and boot them up. And then most of the time I explore older games, like 80s-early 2000s titles. All depends on the mood.

Bench presses always make me nervous because of the safety risks. If it's barbells then I can manage, but dumbells scare me. I feel like it might slip out my hand and crack my teeth.

I think I did? But I haven't been on Mahjong Soul in so long ( o)_( o);

I think I've got a basic enough understanding of Mahjong to play some rounds one day (thank you Yakuza)

I think what I'm really trying to at is:

Anyone can make the codes I'm being asked to make. But only I can make the art I want to make, and that's where I find my fulfillment.

Numerous iterations of the same program. Over and over again, having to revise the same hundred lines to keep it running consistently. It's a monotonous process.

With art, every piece feels unique. There's drafts all the way up to the final product, each piece being one-of-a-kind.

One thing I appreciate about CompSci is that I learned the basics, and with that, I've created a generator on Perchance, tinkered with scripts in games, and dabbled with RPG Maker and Fighter Factory 3.

But ultimately, it's not my thing because I'm not as satisfied with making code as I am with art

Some days, I just think to myself, "If I had a chance to go back, I'd stick with art and do these things differently."

I know there's no going back. But it's never too late to start over. That's my goal, heading into 2026.

That, and spreading joy in a world falling apart around us. Giving hope.

I'd rather spend the rest of my life working freelance as an artist, doing game reviews and streams, and enjoying my life rather than being miserable like this.

I just wanna do what makes me happy. Everything else should follow with that, right?

Money.

Personal success.

Friends.

Putting it in my calendar; I wish you the best luck once you head out of town ✌🏾

I'd be all over one of these the second they're available. The price would definitely be worth it for the quality of your art~
