Mega Man II Redrawn!

Claims will be limited, join in at retroredrawn.com in our discord! @retroredrawn.bsky.social #pixelart #megaman2redrawn

A pixel art piece redoing the vertical intro of Mega Man II (2) for the NES/Famicom. It's a underlit tall building with glass windows stretching up through the clouds over the Akira inspired cityscape, for the new pixel art project for RetroRedrawn

But hey, at least I recognize it now and I'm starting to feel ready to do something about my situation. Getting out of the house more, trying to meet more people, get more sunlight, try to do less doom scrolling.

So cheers to that at least.

I recently began to recognize that I've been suffering from depression for quite some time now due to the combination of being unemployed for almost half a year and most of the world seemingly going to utter shit. Everything's just been feeling pointless overall.

I feel like retro is very subjective and connected to a nostalgic era of youth and simpler times. Doesn't really matter how old it is from today, but rather how old I was. Dreamcast was the last fully retro system for me as somewhere along the PS2 era I grew up and changed into a more jaded "adult."

My take on the Ice Cream Island hubworld from Kirby's Adventure
#KirbyRedrawn #Pixelart

A remade version of Ice Cream Island, the 2nd Hub World from the NES game Kirby's Adventure. Made in pixel art and using the NES palette. Along with Kirby himself, the animal buddies from Kirby's Dream Land 3 can be seen lounging around the area.

Part of the project Kirby's Adventure Redrawn by the Retro Redraw Community.

Well look at that! The tribute album Songs of the Great Sea by @pixelmixers.bsky.social is out, with album art by me! 😄 As a huge Wind Waker fan, I'm very happy to be a part of this.

Available on just about every platform so you really have no excuse not to listen:
album.link/s/4lxxPG4AA7...

Album art for the Zelda: The Wind Waker tribute album "Songs of the Great Sea" by Pixel Mixers. The art features Link conducting music while Medli, Makar and Tetra are playing music. This takes place on the open sea in the red, living boat Larry who is enjoying the music while possibly singing along. It has drawn the attention of a Fish man as well as Zephos, the giant wind frog.

Started reading My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness before sleeping and now it's suddenly 02:30. Holy shit that was a good read! Both fascinating and relatable in more ways than I expected.

Not the best for my sleep schedule tho...

This is the first system where I can't find 10 games to fill the list. So much focus on grey and samey games with gun-man protagonists. Every friend who owned a 360 had it break on them AT LEAST once.
For me it was a good time to start investing into handhelds and retro games instead 😅

While the PSP basically was my Falcom handheld, I sadly missed out on the Trails games on it.

1 Ys Oath in Felghana

3 Gurumin
4 Ys I & II
5 Tactics Ogre
6 Ys Ark of Napishtim
7 Puyo Puyo 20th Anniversary

9 PixelJunk Monsters
10 Pix'n Love Rush

I had no idea Danganronpa even got released on the PSP in japan. Guess it's a Sony equivalent of the Ace Attourney situation on Nintendos handhelds.

Absolutely brutal to pick just 10 DS games, not to mention order them in any sane way. This system's library of games might be the strongest I've ever come across in my life so far.

Derrick Bitner @bitnerd.gvg.io · Apr 28

This is undoubtedly going to be the biggest yet. Give me your Top 10 Nintendo DS Games of All Time! The only major thing to remember this time around is the mainline Pokémon games. There are 4: Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, HGSS, BW, and BW2. Let's see if they dominate.

1. Outrun 2006
2. Panzer Dragoon Orta
3. JSRF
4. Beyond Good & Evil
5. Phantom Dust
6. Blinx the Time Sweeper
7. Toejam & Earl 3
8. Conker Live & Reloaded
9. Otogi
10. Sudeki

Picking Sudeki over Gunvalkyrie feels kinda bad but I guess there's plenty of Sega-love there as is.
