Making bugs one line of code at a time. I watch lifetime movies for the continuity errors.

Nintendo Wii is 20 years old next month

And I kinda feel like Wii was to many gamers what NES was to me—Basically a cultural phenomenon that ended up in most households. And for a lot of you, the Wii was where you fell in love with gaming as a kid, right?

So.. how do you feel about Wii turning 20?

Opted for the Deco 1 V3 #XPPen and enjoying it thus far. I was surprised by the size—takes up like a quarter of my desk!

Considering getting a cheap pen tablet to illustrate with. XPPen’s Deco v3 looks decent and is relatively inexpensive. Anyone have experience with it? #digitalart

Had more than 165GB worth of “system data” and decided to install Daisy Disk to figure out what it was… 100GB of podcast mp3 files… I never would have figured that out on my own

I’m almost done with this piece, but I’m trying to add a torch in the horse rider’s hand. Think this may actually be more difficult than the clouds. The setting sun makes it hard to make it readable #pixelart

96x56 (WIP)

not that i'm an expert, but if i could give any advice to someone who's just starting out with pixel art, especially for game assets: don't draw. at these scales, line art doesn't read well. instead, create shapes, blobs of colors. and chisel at them pixel by pixel until they fit your vision. (1/2)

Still a work in progress, but I think it’s coming along nicely. Still tweaking the clouds because clouds are hard. #pixelart

I watched Mortal Kombat 2 and can’t say I followed whatever the hell the plot is, but the fights were entertaining? I think I’ve seen one movie based on a video game that is good, and that’s Exit 8

I hate survival games that have you drink water and eat. That's what I'm already attempting WHILE playing the game

Remember the internet before Google, before algorithmic feeds, before monolithic social media corralled us onto the same handful of apps? When small, *personal websites* and webrings linking them together reigned supreme? Time to bring it back.

Switch 1 only having the cloud versions of Kingdom Hearts is such a ridiculous missed opportunity
