Oh right, I made these sprites once for MaGMML3. Might as well share them here, too!

Some are edits to existing sprites, some were made from scratch. I don't even consider myself artistically skilled by any means, so I'm still somewhat proud of these!
Characters and enemies from the Mega Man Battle Network series in the art style of classic 8-Bit Mega Man. From top left to bottom right: Lan Hikari (standing idle) MegaMan.exe (standing idle) Billy (standing idle) Lan Hikari (jumping with PET in hand) Mettaur (attack pose) MegaMan.exe (face portrait)

So I've just found out that SoulEye, composer of the VVVVVV soundtrack, has become an AI bro. The last two years of uploads on his YouTube channel are nothing but AI slop, with both images and (I'm pretty sure) music generated by AI.

Man, how incredibly disappointing... I used to love his music. 😭

You just know your tab messie syndrome is out of control when you wake up one morning and think to yourself "Hey, let's create a Firefox plugin!"
Screenshot of a Firefox extension from Firefox's extensions view. The title reads "Tab Archive". The description reads "Automatically archives open tabs into categories based on customizable patterns". The logo is the text "Tab" in black and the text "Archive" in red on a gray background.

Okay, yeah, shiny-hunting in Legends Z-A is definitely busted, lol!

This was after roughly one hour of reloads with the shiny charm. In total six shinies had spawned.

I love it!

Maybe it's time to finally boycott Google as a search engine and move to something else.

I'm already not too crazy about everyone and their moms trying to shove AI content into my ass, but putting the new "AI Mode" button to where "All" used to be is just hostile as fuck.
Screenshot of the start page of Google, showing some the menu options below the search bar which ar "AI Mode", "All" and "Images".

Working on completing as much of my BDSP Pokedex as possible before Legends Z-A releases tomorrow, and then this happened.

what could possibly go wrong
4 panel comic: P1: Closeup of a middle-aged guy, from the chest up. He is dramatically lit from above by a spotlight. In his left hand, a cigarette from which curls a tendril of smoke. He speaks to an unseen interviewer: "back in the '90s, we created the game BUBSY 3D" P2: a high shot, looking down on the guy, He is sat in a non-descript chair, his right arm draped casually over the back, while he has his right leg draped over his left. He continues. "It was not good. not good..." P3: Extreme closeup of the guy's face, focused on his left eye, wide and intense. "But we did not listen to the critics. Foolishly, we went ahead with a sequel-- BUBSY 4D" P4: an apocalyptic scene, as a multi-faceted Bubsy head Evangelions out of the wreckage of a city in a beam of intense light, rubble rising around it. The clouds part. It is the end.

Had a great time at Gamescom yesterday! Played Some Metroid Prime 4, @shrineslegacy.bsky.social, Alabaster Dawn and Apidya Special.

Once again met many awesome people, including (former) work colleagues and @radicalfishgames.com. Wish I could go some more!

“i have to use AI because i’m bad at drawingggg 😭😭😭”
Three panel comic: 1st panel: Two crudely drawn stick men: Stick man 1: to make art that is popular you have to be really good at drawing 2nd panel: stick man 2: but if that’s true 3rd panel: both characters are looking at a spot beneath the comic (where the likes are) Stick man 2: why does this comic have thousands of likes?

Just went to a supermarket. Next to me was a group of French people, speaking in French to one another, and literally the first and only word I could make out was "baguette".

It was like running into a group of living stereotypes!

Why do I find myself googling how to spell "agree" at least once a month? It's not even a particularly difficult word, I just can't memorize whether it's spelled with one or two Gs.

MAKE YOUR CALLS!!!
WHY? On July 2025, Steam, a popular storefront to purchase games on PC, and itch.io, a storefront that sells games, comics, tools, resources and much more, have recently delisted several NSFW games, after the group Collective Shout published an open letter to payment processors such as Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, and more. As a result of this letter, payment processors have strongarmed Valve and itch.io into enforcing restrictive new TOS policies on what kind of content their platforms can host and sell. Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and Paypal have been censoring free speech and legal business on the internet for TOO LONG. Their most recent targets are Steam and Itch.io, but they have also been pressuring websites like Pixiv, Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans and MORE for years, applying draconian standards for what kind of adult/pornographic content platiorms and their users can host and sell. If we as consumers and creators want to regain ground on this issue, we have to make our voice heard. HOW? BOMBARD THEM WITH PHONE CALLS Collective Shout, the organization that lobbied to have Steam and Itch.io change their TOS, did so with only around 1000 phone calls. Visa and MC have backed down from pressuring Onlyians to remove adult content entirely due to public backlash. Clogging their phone lines for an extended perlou, over a mont at the absolute least, will almost gudrantee that these compantes will at least have to pay attention to the backlash. this list is not exhaustive. but some contact points for the 4 targets are: 1. VISA: (US + Can): +1 [8001-847-2911 US option selection for operator: 1-1-2 or 1-1-3 2. MASTERCARD: (US): +1 (8001-307-7309 US option selection for operator: 1-1-2-2-2-1 Phone (outside US): 1-636-722-7111 3. STRIPE: (Headquarters): +118881 963-8955 (France): +33 805-11-19-67 Stripe: complaints@stripe.com 4. PAYPAL: (US): +1 (888)-221-1161 (outside US): 1-402-935-2050 Customer Service: +1 (877)-569-1116

Is Square-Enix garbage?

I had to highly compress this to be allowed to upload it here, so it looks and sounds better on other similar sites lol.

Da habe ich doch irgendwie komplett den CosDay dieses Jahr verpasst. Scheinbar war er dieses Wochenende schon...

Kein Wunder auch bei einem Event mit so gut wie keiner Social Media Präsenz und nichtmal einem Newsletter. Besser könnte man so eine Convention echt nicht verstecken.

Bin trotzdem sad.

This game's music has absolutely no right going as hard as it does.
I really love these little "improv" sections they add to most of the songs. Almost remind me of Shnabubula's style!

Mario Kart World so far feels like one of those games only Nintendo could make. Full of surprises and engagement everywhere, but without any pressure driving you to see it all or play it a certain way.

Got very absorbed already during my recent play sessions.

SWITCH 2 DELIVERY, BAYBEEEH! 😍

Still in the process of setting up the thing, but to give some first impressions:
- The console is an absolute unit
- The screen looks amazing in both sharpness and saturation
- Yes, the Joy-Con feel incredibly firmly attached

We implemented a whole new system to show special "cinematic scenes" that we can use for important story moments or just when we need a perspective we can't achieve with our top-down in-game view.

Note: Many of the scenes shown are still work-in-progress!
