Sometimes Pixel artist. Sometimes anime nerd. Sometimes plays video games. I do not give permission for any of my art to be put into AI generators or turned into NFT's or anything of the like.

Playing Psilosybil is interesting cause despite the game being known for being extremely difficult (and it is), the game somehow puts the checkpoints at JUST the perfect distance so I'm not replaying a section too many times This is after Mina the Hollower always felt it put the checkpoints too far

It's cool to see so many people hopping onto Arcana Heart cause of the rollback patch. Fun fact that isnt mentioned much: If you heard Akane's Level 3 was one of the most difficult supers; they're referring to it in the PREVIOUS version. Six Stars made it significantly easier from it in Love Max

Awhile ago, I drew Shahra from Sonic and the Secret Rings in the Chrono Trigger style as an exercise It had it as my PFP for a bit and it was satisfying seeing one person ask if it was a Chrono Trigger sprite, and another in a completely separate server ask if it was Shahra. #Pixelart

I have NEVER heard a good reason for why spoilers have an 'expiration date.' It's not hard to give a warning, or to say 'sorry' if you do spoil something accidentally. I feel like putting the fault on the person who got spoiled just means they have to consume every piece of media ever made asap

So playing Mina, I realized its kind of weird this doesnt mention the fast travel system at all. Which is interesting cause it ABSOLUTELY would've needed to be implemented already. The game is fun but this video did kind of read as a red flag. Like 'yeah, you dont NEED direction in this game!"

🗺️No map? No Problem! Tenebrous Isle is a big place… without a detailed room-to-room map, how does a mouse find her way? 🐭 Find out how we designed Mina the Hollower to subtly guide you without holding your hand. 🤝 Do you think you’ll get lost? 🤔

Okay seriously, this drives me up the wall. ArcSys will bend over backwards to remove character identities, mechanics, and rework their entire online ranked system in an attempt to get casual players to play online. But then never try a single-player mode that actually teaches the player anything.

Headline "Marvel Tokon doesn't actually have a campaign. Instead it has comic book style scenes with no gameplay or matches"

Heres the link to the reddit post the image is taken from:  https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/1tbaf5k/marvel_tokon_doesnt_actually_have_a_campaign/.  An exchange from the article is listed below on the reddit post

#InvincibleVs. Funny tweet, but correct me if im wrong, but the story mode doesnt teach any mechanics at all either. Just saying, it probably would've taught alot of people new to the game if you actually did more than just expect everyone to play the tutorial first.

Tweet from the official Invincible Versus twitter:
We are aware players are complaining about long "unbreakable" combos in our game. 

We suggest not skipping the tutorial.

Ingrid looks fun and cool, and I would absolutely buy her. It's just I can't. CAPCOM; Let me get the character individually and not have to go through your premium currency BS and I will absolutely get the character.

"Coolness" is not all you need to make a fighting game appeal to everyone. I kind of hate that some hardcore FGC try to boil down absolutely every facet of the game to just that so they can argue that simplification doesnt work.

Oh hey, Ingrid's world tour trailer is out for Street Fighter 6. Hey Capcom, I would absolutely buy her if I could just get her individually and not have to go through your garbage Premium currency. I dont want to have to buy characters two at a time just cause I want one.

Got GBVSR. You can earn in-game currency to get characters but its probably a limited resource so Idk who to get Free version has all the characters ('cept 2B) but I can't use them on the paid version so I download it to try out a couple I CANNOT PLAY THE FREE VERSION CAUSE I HAVE THE FULL VERSION

An unexpected advantage to Rivals 2 adding all the characters for free is being able to try out a Character like La Reina without buying or renting her. She's not my usual type of character but she's actually super fun, and I don't think I would've even thought about trying her out otherwise.

@rittzler.bsky.social (creator of Pseudoregalia), has had their Discord and email hacked and is linking to a virus in disguise. If you see anything linking to a game called "Furfall", DO NOT engage with it. It's not made by Rittz and isn't a real game (it's a Remote Access Trojan) DO NOT CLICK IT.

Spada Ins: An Umbrella I got in real life (and the brella-part broke off so now its a cane)

Row 2
Thorn (The sword of Elizabeth Rose Bloodflame #BloodflameArt)
Needle and Silk (Silksong.  No I havent played it, but I watched a friend play it)

The scrolls that make up Staadi's 'hair' are plastered in ancient spells written to absorb negative energy. They're so effective, in fact, that she's constantly having to make smaller Katashiro to siphon off the excess energy - packed with bad luck that they are, it's advisable not to touch them.

10 Games to get to know me thing. Important distinction that the game's don't have to necessarily be *good* but I can talk about a few of these games for AWHILE if ya ask me so I'd say still applicable.

Balan Wonderworld, Blazblue Continuum Shift, Sonic Adventure 2, Petal Crash, Alina of the Arena, Klonoa, GrimGrimoire, Kingdom Hearts 2, Mighty no. 9, Gurumin.

Kirby Air Riders looks great but is it just me or would "Kirby Road Trip" have been a better name? Maybe Kirby Air Trip? Air Road? Idk, something to make it a little more different than "Kirby AIr Ride" (Yes this is a very minor point)

Heres another set of KH CoM cards. This would actually be the tenth set I've made so i'm pretty proud of myself. That makes these 145 to 160. Names and references will be in the alt text if you wanna guess which are which. Some are original designs

A bunch of fanmade Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memory cards with various weapons.
From top left to bottom right:
Knock on Nexus (Yume Nikki)
Heavy Sound (Kasane Teto)
Cup Overfloweth (The Cup Arcana from Tarot Cards)
Crate Breaker (Team Fortress 2.  Yes, thats just a Sandman bat with a key taped to it)
Cardiotomy (Valentine's bonesaw from Skullgirls.  I just came up with the name)
Hospital Vein (Original design based somewhat on a hospital)
Whizzing Arrow (Oban Star-Racers)
People Pleaser (Tina from Rock is a Lady's Modesty)
TV TIME (Tenna from Deltarune)
Power Surge (Dynatron from Mighty no. 9)

I hope SF6 eventually adds an option to get characters individually. I would've bought multiple characters by now if I didn't have to pay almost double just to get one. I don't want to buy multiple characters at once just because that's my only option
