Blog post btw is an exploration of the origins of the Metroidvania genre. Progress has been motivated by recent arguments I’ve had and dumb takes I’ve seen on the internet lmao

If I had a quarter for every time I came across a one-off fighting game that looks and sounds awesome but that nobody plays, I’d have enough continues to reliably beat KoF 2002 (read: a lot).
Anyway, Galaxy Fight: Universal Warriors is an epic game. Sunsoft really cooked there. 💜👌🏻

Grateful Windows has a button for rolling back to a previous driver version. Latest NVIDIA graphics driver update low-key made my computer unusable...
(sRGB clamping wasn't working anymore which meant my display colours were wayyyy off 💀)

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

I like the look of the in-game sprite so I went with brunette Shanoa for my piece, but here's an alt for those who prefer the canon raven haired look.

Swedish actor Björn Andréson (Death in Venice, Midsommar) has passed away. Though not specifically tied to gaming, he was an incredibly popular model for several decades worth of games and anime in Japan! Indeed inspiring Alucard, Griffith, and SMT Louis Cypher and many more. RIP.

Insanely busy currently, but still finding a few minutes here and there to compose pieces of a new blog post.
Easier for me to spontaneously write a few sentences into my phone than sit down to work on pixel art.

Kinda dumbfounded that Rush, one of the most Canadian bands there is, is planning a North American tour with only one stop in Canada. 😒👎🏻

Happy 39 years of Konami’s Castlevania! One of my favourite video game franchises, I’ve collected most of the games over the years.
First image is my entire collection, and the second is just the main canon (with DXC standing in for Rondo). My fav is Order of Ecclesia~ 💜

Got a new pixel art thing in early development at the moment, don't expect to see that released for quite a while though. 👀

Got some things I want to draw,
but try as I might, my brain is simply not in a pixel art state at the moment. 🫠😔

Enough people said they wanted to see the final slide deck, so I took the time to put it on my non-teacher github so I could share it. I didn't end up getting in trouble. I ended up being encouraged by a colleague to share it with my dept chair, and he liked it
