It's a bit of both, I think, especially with the female characters. The more the guy draws the less he can draw distinct women, not that the bar was ever high. The line between style and character design is inherently blurry due to how some styles give some things up (E.g. certain colours or shapes)

The rebels tear down the breencast in the City 17 Centre and right before the fixtures give in you hear him yell "WAAHH!! WALUIGI HATE LOSING!!"

Ohhhh y'know that makes sense actually

And this one

Oh and this one

I also made This Sound Mod

I think that's "Tario", from Leaks. He's a supposedly new character that they would make a game about. But don't quote me on that, I'm already quoting someone else.

Oh, that's really cool! (You writing your own version, not Minesweeper fucking me over)
Playing minesweeper does engage the game design part of my brain alot for some reason, so I've been thinking about how to write it myself for some potential Minesweeper But With A Twist type projects

Or rather, a step in the dark.. While that (Minesweeper fucking me over, not someone losing a leg) is sad, I'm glad disposable henchmen exist to be disposable.

UGH, I knew I should've been looking at that end of the board more.. My Wife and I have been trying to calculate literally every other square mathematically thinking it was hopeless but the answer's been right under our noses this entire time.. Thank you Pier, especially for explaining!
