It’s stressful enough just trying to forget, it’s more painful whenever I’m reminded and it tempts me to call them out despite the fact doing so would make me look like a prick.

Mario123311 @mario123311.bsky.social · 7h

And what’s worse is I keep seeing friends of mine or artists I follow draw their indie game character or RT posts of her even when I blocked her name in my list of keywords.

I never mattered to them anyway, they weren’t my friend and they could probably care less whenever I end up kicking the bucket from my own sanity and the worst happening to my career field I’ve wasted nearly two thirds my life on chasing.

All I do is annoy the piss out of people.

What could Erwin and the Spectral Fiend look like in a possible Pac-Man World 3: Re-Pac? Here's my take on it!

I’d call them out but I already went through a whole week a while back where I was suicidal 7 days straight.

I’ll be lucky if I somehow don’t kill myself before I’m even just 30 at this rate.

…And MFGG still hasn’t published my Doom mod I showed him before blocking me.

Just having a moment again after being reminded how I was ghosted by an artist and gamedev I used to look up to just for asking for basic ass advice or feedback. (They’re best known for their indie game they solo-developed)

Mario123311 @mario123311.bsky.social · 10d

If there’s anything that frustrates me most as a Gen Z, it’s that nobody answers our calls for help or even bothers to give basic words of advice, encouragement or feedback whatsoever: especially in this era of uncertainty where skill and passion seem to be meaningless to 90% of the industry.

Did you know in sonic 2 for the game gear if you don't collect the chaos emeralds tails will die

But if you manage to collect all the chaos emeralds you get a slightly different ending where sonic and tails die

If I ever have to go back to posting on Twitter after basically nuking my presence there I'd be so fucking embarrassed. I almost wish I could go back in time to last year just to show myself how badly managed this site would become.

God, like I am BEGGING Bluesky to get their fucking shit together.

It would be one thing if Bluesky were clear that our media isn't being used for generative AI specifically, but I have yet to see a definitive confirmation one way or the other. Hive are literally out here saying they offer the ability to Generate Content™ though so like, which is it Bluesky?

honestly now im wondering whether DS Bob Omb Battlefield being so desaturated was to sell the battlefield part harder, cept it couldnt go all the way because it had to abide the original's framework. None of the other levels in it have that drastic of a style change.

3D render, in the style of 1990s CG, of Bob-Omb Battlefield. Creative liberties were taken to make it look more like an actual battlefield.

I think the craziest part is they completely reworked the underwater levels to not be boring autoscroll levels and they managed to make Yellow Pac-Marine (the weakest level in the original game) actually fun with new power-ups, actual setpiece-based level design and far shorter.
