The way to get better is by doing :3 your art is excellent and charming, so I suggest giving things a go if you're curious. You can only learn more with practice

i may be incorrect, but those may be the alternate scenarios. the game features a time loop where the mc's memories are partially retained through saves.
for example, if mc enters a room with a trap, he will die. but by simply reloading a save right before, he will remember the trap and dodge it.

the 3ds is excellent when modded, but my hot take is the library is unimpressive... there are some fantastic titles on there but it lacks the variety of the ds. I usually play ds, gb or ported games on my 3ds.

CHIPPY🌟🍉 @kalechipskid.bsky.social · 5d

nowadays i would say the ps2. it's got such a stellar library.
as for worst, maybe the 3000-in-1 scam plug-n-play with the buff furries glitching all over the place. there was a lot of pong...

you see your soul may be made of seafoam, and it must become real. in order to do that you must search our good deeds. every child's good deed will take a day off your sentence but every naught act will add a whole year. you have 300 years on your sentence and when it ends you go to heaven.

if I committed a sin how can I be forgiven

CHIPPY🌟🍉 @kalechipskid.bsky.social · 5d

no, but movies make it look really cool. i'd like to light up a murad in my trench coat and disappear when the bus passes.

that is to say that we often think of pinocchio as a beautiful story about becoming human but it really about how children are lazy miscreants that need to be tormented in order to develop a moral fiber.
tezuka actually did a visually disney-esque manga adaptation with the original ending.

The end of osamu tezuka's pinnochio manga where he sticks to the original ending-- the one published in 1881-- where the wooden boy is hung from a tree until dead. it's honestly pretty cruel. yes pinocchio was a little awful clown and this is an old story meant to dish out lessons, but finger wagging in such a fire and brimstone fashion doesnt sit well with me. of course there is cultural context, but i cant help but feel like the current interpretations lean into a much kinder reading.
from the ending of the original publishing, although it is a bit gruesome:
"A tempestuous northerly wind began to blow and roar angrily, and it beat the poor puppet from side to side, making him swing violently, like the clatter of a bell ringing for a wedding. And the swinging gave him atrocious spasms...His breath failed him and he could say no more. He shut his eyes, opened his mouth, stretched his legs, gave a long shudder, and hung stiff and insensible."
not to be cinema sins over here, but if he's made of wood, he would be fine, wouldn't he? they wished to inflict punishment on him somehow.... maybe a fireplace would work better. this was in a children's magazine because that's just how italians rolled back then.

pinocchio is an interesting story to watch evolve over the years because the disney one is like "look at this nice boy, if he smokes he goes to hell" while the og was like "look at this little shithead, lets kill him"

I don’t speak on this very often, but I urge you to call. If this goes through, it won’t just be federal funding that stops for gender affirming care. It’s federal money now, but insurance companies follow what they’re allowed to do and if they’re allowed to drop us, they will.

Please call.

The stopgap measure being voted on today to try to avoid govt shutdown includes a provision that could strip ALL federal funding from any institution/facility providing access to any form of gender-affirming care, for anyone of any age. Call.

We will grow old together.

was talking this morning to a friend about some hi-def astroboy image where he has thick lashes and done up eyebrows. astro has 5 lashes betty boop style, and if you change that he doesn't look like himself. his design is simple so even changing a small detail like that messes things up.
