Oh! Sorry. I’m terribly at BlueSky apparently 🤣

I will be entirely honest here and say I don't know. That's way more in the weeds than I have been thinking about any of this. 'm mostly just looking to replace the default menus and stuff to potentially help give things its own flavor. I'm not sure what what will end up looking like.

Of course! I would love to continue this discussion.

Probably leaning a bit in the cyberpunk/synthwave direction/ inspiration. As for niche with the board itself I haven’t decided yet? My personal interests are in gaming (indie and retro focused), text-based multiplayer games, music, TTRPGs, cats, etc 🤣 so haven’t thought of a specific focus to fill?

I'm looking to build out an overall theme at the moment, so yeah. Main logo, headers, title screens. Not so much full ANSI art screens. But I'm trying to figure out the look and feel.

I'm hoping to have it online and stuff soon, really in the early stages here, but I know I want something not stock as far as splash art and menus and stuff. I'm planning to work with MysticBBS at the moment and see where things go from there.

I'm not sure of the full details of the work yet. I'm just kind of getting things off of the ground and set up. The only real ideas I have are something of a base for a color palette and that I'm planning on trying to use MysticBBS as the base platform, if that helps?

Sorry it took so long to respond. Probably a more classic early 90s look. I don't have a visual style or theme in mind for the splash and menus. I am still in the process of getting everything set up and running, so it's a work in progress.

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back about this. I don't have a theme yet. I do kind of have a color palette in mind, but I'm still in the process of getting everything up and running.

This is stunning. Amazing work!

I can’t stand that stuff either. Even through a player-centric lens. Blurry stuff makes the game look halfassed, especially once it suddenly becomes “crystal clear” and perfectly rendered. My brain immediately asks why the engine shat the bed so hard for those seconds.

That can’t even build a virtual wall right 🤣

This is especially eyerollingly funny because Hegseth has a program to provide gender-affirming care to soldiers because they aren't producing enough testosterone... sad little beta soy boys

I am! Things have been a little crazy. But when isn't it? Apparently there was also some weird stuff going on with Bluesky. So who knows!

Oh man, George Bush was robbed 😂🤣

Even worse when you consider they were doing the exact thing Xbox is saying they’re trying to build toward - building in-house tools and working in a cohesive effort with other studios under the company’s umbrella.

It’s stupid. Makes me want nothing to do with Microsoft/XBox.

There's a reason Elon is scared of the $sub-25k Chinese EVs.
