Thank ya! Spikes did an amazing job with him, and he's definitely meant to be a big sweetheart <3

Aww, thank you Jacob!

Daww... (same tho, hahaha)

I love PM64. You have my blessing on this one, it's pretty doinky and whatever

Happy belated birthday!

I stopped playing the series after 2 for similar reasons. It felt pretty aimless and things felt a bit like wallpaper. The game started feeling like it was playing itself as well. This is where it hit style over substance for me The new finale for FF7Remake did this to me too. Felt weird and random

This is the sound of my brain when I can't get further than 3 minutes

Megaman Classic is one of my favorite design formats. Bomb Man and Wave Man are probably my 2 favorite. Also this totally rules!

Thank you, and agree on all fronts. I have been having a rough patch, but there are definitely things I can do to help myself and some things and people around me. I have been all over the place lately. 😵‍💫

I just wanna make spreadsheets for videogame nonsense, draw fanart of random characters I fixate on, and be able to be around people that make me feel relevant. I wanna be part of something I care about enough to get out of bed for it. It's hard to carry optimism when it feels backhanded

It's so frustrating walking around in this haze of post covid, post ai, hearing about how it's always been this terrible and feeling like an idiot for not being cynical sooner or something, like that's somehow the appropriate response. I just feel like an ignorant dingbat about everything I see now

There are genuine bad things out there that are getting so loudly and angrily policed because people have been up to ridiculous, awful things in every corner. Which is a good thing, but I feel the need to pull back from everything out of fear now because of how fundamentally skeptical it's made me.

All the things going on make it feel like I'm pathetic for assuming I deserve to utter a single petty grievance because there are people out there far more fucked than I. And I have no clue what to do with this gross, stuck, petty, audacious feeling. Idk man. Life feels weird lately.

It's getting very tough to know where I can draw genuine joy out of things lately, both because of myself and my surroundings. I'm mostly speaking from the online environment, but it's irl too. The noxious feedback loop is getting so loud, and I feel like a chud even acknowledging it out loud.

Expect.... I have a small smattering of guesses. I know MY pick ;)

I am frequently stricken with it, and I don't even art for work. @_@ Part of me thinks it's the bit of us that wants ourselves to always be better, but mine is super hyperactive. Like, you can stay, but CHILL dawg
