which came first, ranch, or cool ranch?

Today I'm departing home, but this week has been nothing short of stellar. I got to see it all - from the attractions, to the subway failing, to the weather on both extreme ends. Can't get much more NYC than that! Thank you for having me, this week is something I'll cherish for a long time.

Hello, my real followers, i've been getting back to working on my mods, and i'm here to show all of you some progress on an enemy mod i'm doing, Marco's Mobsters, featuring THE PEASHY BABY THAT'S RIGHT CEREUS PEASHY FROM MEWGENICS/CEREUS PEASHY/EDMUND MCMILLEN GAMES #nuclearthrone #mewgenics

Statue of Liberty! It's one thing seeing this statue in pop culture throughout the years, but it's an entirely, amazing different feeling seeing it finally up close. Def won't forget it anytime soon.

Museum of Natural History! somehow managed to trap me 5hr 30min within its walls. I was like mario looking on the map, then I turn around and thought out loud "THERE'S MORE?????"

About 7 years of differences of Treasure Tech sprites then and now. I totally forgot the Wild Hunter was a bolt-action rifle originally. The bee hive shaped PMB is also really funny I wish I had more old stuff saved. It's nice seeing my journey come so far

Another one of them FPS gun paint overs. Half-Life guns were simpler cus their textures are already pretty stylized and handpainted looking, more effort went into defining depth in the arms.

Half-Life Pistol and Shotgun paint overs.

Now in New York City! This destination has been on my bucket list forever, and it'll be my home for the next week. Gots lotsa stuff planned

I've also reshaded two famous fanmade sprites of Super Mario, with first being from ShinRyoga & NeOaNkH's Mugen iteration of him and second being a fanmade sprite by Xander often featured in Dorkly videos. I made them look, fr*aking good? And kinda fixed?

Absurdly shiny depictions of the aforementioned Mario sprites.

Today was nothing short of incredible - being able to take part on the couch at #sgdq2026 and prepare something fun alongside for it is something I will never forget. Thank you friends for making this ever more so special.
