Secret of Mana, as I knew it! AKA Seiken Densetsu 2. One of the first RPGs I played on the Super Nintendo!

I don't want to stop using social media or being online. I know first hand that it can be extremely fun and fulfilling. I want this experience to get better, I don't want to just fuck off and let it all die.

seeing the indie web movement gaining momentum is giving me hope that one day maybe...

I wish there were more games like Furcadia around! That game sparked my love for pixel art and gamedev with the map building and coding, art patching and portraits... and it's a social mmo!

There's so much to do all at once, right? Argh!

Yess, the Tales series is so consistently good, and I've been wanting to play Rebirth forever!! I'm so happy there's an english fan translation~ now to just make time to play πŸ₯²

I wish there were enough hours in a day and cells in my brain to:
- play Tales of Rebirth
- build a personal website
- switch to Linux
- learn Godot
- have a social life
- actually finish a game project
- save humanity and the planet
- read the 450+ page workbook my doctor recommended for burnout

it's really cool and fun to have your own website. you can put whatever you want on it and it can look however you want. the only person that can ruin your website is yourself. websites are the real internet. (did you know?) you can have a home on the true internet. the internet was made for people

did you know you can make your own website. yes, even you, person who thinks it requires super coding skills you think you'll never have. it doesn't, you can do it too. yes even if you've never written a line of code before. no, not using one of those site building services you keep getting ads for

this is how my website started. I still don't know javascript or php. it was so satisfying seeing it on the internet, in my browser, for the first time. even with it looking like that. anyone can make a website like this

Sketchy rough comic panels. A very large and imposing woman stands with her arms crossed next to a shorter goth-styled witch. Characters are Roz MacKenzie (left) and Liv Mareluna (right) from my webcomic, 7Eves. Roz has a large ponytail and choppy bangs, with a fur-lined sleeveless tunic, gauntlets, and a sword in its sheath on her back. Liv has chin-length hair with bangs that cover the right half of her face, wearing a large witch's hat, multiple ear piercings, a choker around her neck, and an opened jacket. Both women are standing in front of a non-descript building, only a door and window visible.

1st panel
Roz's eyes are closed, and she looks pensive. Liv looks down, an expression of concern and fear on her face.

2nd panel
The door of the building swings open with a FWAM sfx, as a slim young woman comes bursting from it, skidding to a cartoonish stop. Character is Hazel Woods, also from 7Eves. Roz doesn't change position, only opening her eyes, alarmed by the sudden sound, and Liv has quickly turned her head around to face Hazel, looking surprised as a slight blush appears on her cheeks.

3rd panel
Liv looks relieved as she smiles, looking toward Hazel, who is still off-screen.
Liv: HAZEL!! There you are! I was getting worried abou--

4th panel
Liv stops abruptly, her brow furrowing and her smile fading in an instant, as she begins to realize that something is amiss.
Liv: *speaking flatly* Why are you running. What did you do.

Liv: *speaking flatly* Why are you running. What did you do.

5th panel
We get a better look at Hazel, who is now much closer to the camera than before, and sprinting hurriedly away from the door she just ran out of. She has shoulder-length hair held back by a hair band, wide eyes and hoop earrings. She wears a t-shirt under an opened jacket, skinny jeans and sneakers. Her face is equal parts fear and determination, running like a track-and-field athlete away from the door, which now has incredibly thick thorny vines bursting forth from the opening with a HWAM sound effect, as well as several whimsical ivy-like protrusions with flowery tips.

6th panel
Roz and Liv react to the sudden appearance of the vines with alarm. Roz tenses up and rears back, flexing and lifting her arms away from her body, as if prepared to grab her sword and do battle if necessary. She clenches her teeth, looking quite shocked, hissing beneath her breath from the shock of the scene unfolding. Liv hikes up her shoulders and holds her hands out in fear, her eyes going wide as she shouts at Hazel.
Liv: WHAT DID YOU DO?!?

Final panel
We see Hazel in profile, sprinting away as fast as she can.
Hazel: What's done is done!! All I know is-- I'm running and I'm still alive! Seems like a good idea!!

More than two years after drawing these #7Eves concepts, I've decided to share them here.

This was written as a non-canon moment to explore these characters... Buuut I am reconsidering its canonicity~

I was going to do the save system a bit different but for those of you who liked the save slots i'm going to have them stayπŸ˜‚
It should work the way its supposed to.
From main menu you load and in game you save. ✨️

I know I don't shut up about this, but having your own personal website is genuinely so fulfilling if you've spent a lot of your life on the internet. It feels like moving up from being just a user of the internet to becoming a part of it.

I know this came out a while ago, but I can’t help revisit this song and video- it has such an infectious groove! Synthesizers, Icelandic scenery, power rangers, dance fighting and there is even some #pixelart in there

Day 49: 2025/09/18 - 7h

Got temporary item swapping to work for the Move feature, but I'll need to fix some visual glitches & restructure the inventory to swap with empty slots properly. Committing the move also needs to be implemented.
