The game just obliterates me nowadays, but back between my Gamecube dying and the Wii coming out, I imported a copy and played it every day and got, uh, kinda good at it.

I never did get the Perfect Earth Defense bonus...

Wow, that's rancid. I'm reminded of when I got the entire Corel suite for next to nothing off Humble Bundle and I wound up getting rid of all of it because it started popping ads up on my desktop. PSP was unwieldy, ran like absolute ass, and was prone to crashing, too.

You'd think 1024x1024 would be severely limiting, but with efficient use of space you could do a whole lot with it. I don't think any server ever really came close to running out of space, though it helped that at the game's most popular the server had a player cap of like 80 people.

Such areas included Elysium (a private space for mid-high level admins), a monster room with lineups of NPCs, spaces for experimenting in Build Mode, and in fan servers admins often had their own personal offices. Mine was done up like a cozy cabin with a fireplace. Good times...

My favorite MMORPG was the first type, in an isometric view. The entire game world fit inside 1024x1024 tiles, and all of the space outside of playable areas was known as Greenland because the default floor tile was, well, green. There were hidden areas where admin could go, too, via teleport...

…I’m h…a…p…p…y…

Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa

That's every week!

Gotta rest hard before you can play hard!

The hospital really is a funny little adventure, as long as you don't spend too long there.

Chrizz, now the sole developer of SAMMI, saying: I want to clarify some things and I apologize ahead of time if this sounds rude. It's still work in the progress but since people seem to have complaints about allowing AI in SAMMI. AI has always been a thing in SAMMIs source code itself. SAMMI is a tool that allows the users to do whatever they want with it. The change the previous DEV Team made about forbidding AI art will be reverted, but there will be the necessity to let people know if you use AI art. I also will revert some other changes like the extension policy. Why am I doing this? It's easy, because every person should be able to decide on their own if they want to use AI or not as well as if they want to support AI. If you can not respect this decission, it's ok. Everyone can have their own oppinion about this and if your oppinion is different, feel free to no longer support or use SAMMI.

Chrizz, now the sole developer of SAMMI, saying: since things are getting way more out of hand now, please read this and if you don't wanna use SAMMI when it allows AI and uses AI in the source code, please leave the server instead of getting rude in the lobby

If you use or were considering using SAMMI, switch to a different program.

The new sole developer is extremely pro-AI, has already started using it in the code, and is in support of its use for genAI images as well. Everyone who protested this was told to leave the server and stop using SAMMI.

Hooray!!

a pikachu but it's got giant weirdly mouse-like ears

Additional frustration arts from last night
Just whatever doodles, a weird pikachu and a ryo juni thing

I am very small and I am doing my best xwx

Oh okay good, my fancy disintegrating boss death animation can go in reverse now.

It's not too bad! It'll sting when they put it in, truthfully, but once it's in any pain fades pretty quick. If anything the worst part is just having a sometimes-cumbersome tube around.

It may help some if you just look away as they do it, too.

God I'm dumb, I didn't even consider the possibility of it being a FF8 joke and now I'm slowly doing a pixelated dissolving effect with static-y rumbling noises as we speak

I don't get the love for bright blue cloudless skies. They're boring and--around here at least--oppressively hot and humid, and obnoxiously bright. It's like the weather equivalent of an iPhone ad or something.

Gray, cloudy, misty... That's the world being alive, to me.

There's a part of me that immediately wants to leap into, "Here's my advice!"--but if you wanted to solicit advice you'd say as much, and probably directly to a particular friend at that.

Besides, maybe you wish to learn to pull out a gun. I'm not a gun wizard!

That does in fact sound like a super nice time over there. I could use crazy raining and a snoring dog vibes.

Lifting a barbell high over your head, but said barbell is just two stuffed animals on either end of a pole.

That's the biggest complaint I have with those two games, yeah. Like, if you're going to give me a sprawling open world and tell me I can go wherever I want, I'm going to *go wherever I want*. BotW and TotK still want you on a linear path after the tutorial area though...

it was mentioned a few days ago by someone on here but botw and totk are really good at bringing out that "Ah, an objective! I must do everything else possible before I tackle it" feeling in people

Text of original tweet: Ritual mountaineering axe with heart‑shaped openwork. Japan. Nanbokucho to Muromachi period, 14th century AD. Forged iron head; wooden shaft spiral‑wrapped with a bronze strip; H 179.8 cm, blade 28 x 25.5 cm. Collection: Nara National Museum. Classified as an Important Cultural Property. Those two hearts are not about romance. In Japan they are inome, the boar’s eye, a very old apotropaic sign cut into weapons, temple fittings and even windows to draw off misfortune and summon courage. The motif has been in use for well over a millennium and you can still see inome windows at temples like Shōju‑in in Kyoto. Text of QRT (Japanese): 室町時代の日本に魔法少女（戦闘美少女？）がいた証拠だ

"Proof that magical girls (fighting girls?) existed in the Muromachi Era"

If it helps you feel better, I'm now picturing The Shredder leading an industrial metal band. Bebop plays bass, Rocksteady plays drums, Krang is on keyboard. The Ninja Turtles have to defeat them in a battle of the bands to save New York City and the world.

You are allowed! Hope tomorrow goes loads better and not just a little better.

A pepperbloom lil guy maker doll trying to approximate Ahzi's online persona. It's not exactly close but at least some details like the cheek scales were able to get worked in. He will need to see a doctor if his ears remain erect for longer than four hours. Also, who stole his hat!?
