Well done! I find the crazy dash so hard to do on the arcade version… too used to the DC quirks I guess

Do you remember how much it cost? I remember them well!

Takes about 5 mins, they’ll probably ignore it anyway but no harm in adding your voice

Earth Must Die on Steam
These moronic Terranoids think they can just roll in here and take over my beautiful Tyrythian kingdom? The kingdom that I built from the ground up with my bare hands, and only sort of inherited from ...

I have major snow envy. A good crunch there! It's all wet in the south :(

Of course, Maraoke fans are well versed in their Sega history already, thanks to Joel's incredible 'Hey Ya' re-write.

You kind of have to buy the whole kit though, right? No point doing a sim with a controller

Thank you for bringing over the only beam of light left in Twitter to BSky :)

I've heard some people saying that if you label your work as "software" then it's a way to get around that kind of drama. Technically true, although perhaps a tiny fib for the bank?

Makes sense! Even so, the tools were used beautifully!

It’s the crazy use of dithering that gets me everytime. Real mastery of it

I think that the Lynx was so shit that most people won't even know what you're on about here!

Adding a "before:2021" helps quite a bit. Just hope you're not looking for anything contemporary ;)

Currently dealing with a 7.4GB Photoshop file and I get the feeling Photoshop wasn't quite designed for this...
(15 minutes to save the file. Wheee!)

Yeah! I was really excited when I saw the first enemies and realised they were simplified KOF characters. Then you see them again… and again… I guess that budget went on Ronaldo ;)

Hold on, are you saying you're not satisfied by lines of terribly written plot between another generic battle?? Never!
(It's a shame, it could have been a great mode)

A lot of stuff is now as they’re savvy to the nerd tourists! I remember filling a suitcase with Saturn games years back…!

I’m not even working today and I’ve had to do tech support.
After every “why does this happen?” question my response was “this is why I don’t use Microsoft products” 😐
Happy Monday all!

I’ve tried the 2D equivalent of proc gen bookcases and it never works well so I just end up swearing while drawing hundreds of books.

Your solution is very nice and I’m jealous, is what I’m saying

I love the quality and energy here! Fantastic work as ever :)

Do you think some people would be happy with a repro stickers? Or are you dealing with collectors who only want the original?

This is a really good article - really demonstrates AI as a platform where no user can have a creative voice, because that voice can only ever be the voice of the machine or the voice of what came before it.
Sora is one of the worst experiences I have ever had online. So much so that I felt obligated to dissect its various failings. Unsurprisingly, they all come back to the fact that it's an AI product pretending to be a social media platform.

Oh, that's fascinating! A really like "No One Exists on Sora" as a way to describe AI on the whole. Nobody is making it - which seems obvious now, but Sora in particular is really highlighting why it's soulless.

I shall look forward to this! But I was expecting the same red skelly to be in both before and after shots ;)

The door was worth the effort! Looks great
