hey, sye! ̖́-

DUDE ME TOO, i remember having sooo much fun running around hitting each other with squeaky hammers and playing hide n seek with tech 😭💕 ugh so sweet

🤝MY GUY
i forgot you were also a kirblet, i shoulda known.... high praise from you, the sauce boss >:}

ITS TRUE HE WOULD HAVE SO MUCH FUN WITH ALL THE FUN SILLY GUYS

hes kind of hiding next to the similarly-colored HM64... very sneaky stealthy doom guy

idk man like yeah you might be taller than me but i can still throw you at walls so what does it all really mean

sadly my collecting has fizzled since the retro market corroded during covid, now everything is marked up stupidly and people always try to scam ya... got a sealed copy of zelda NES a year or two ago which was super cool! i dont talk about it a lot but i really love my retro nintendo collection :)

someday id like to talk abt em more thoroughly... i grew up on retros (first game was mario on NES) and its so hard to choose fav consoles let alone games. HUGE soft spot for n64. used to play that a ton over summer break, and NES over winter... so they are kinda seasonal in my mind lol.

harvest moon 64- HAD to have n64 rep somewhere but this was the first HM i played and it hooked me horddd. love love the ost and char designs, took forever to get my own cart and due to modern tech fishing is unplayable :( shoutout to stardew for bringing HM to larger audience

DOOM 2016- doom 2016

made it feel so rare and magical. that kid also had a butt load of godzilla films and toys which is how i got into kaiju too

pkmn LG- my first pokemon game! wasnt allowed near it as a kid and bought my cart when i was 12 secretly. my OG bubbys name is xylem and others are phloem in his honor

pikmin 2- i love little guys and i love how bs this game sometimes is. took forever to beat the final boss and as soon as i did the game crashed and i never did it again

SMW- so hard to choose a mario game... SNES was special cause i didnt have one as a kid. bros friend did and playing SMW there >

katamari damacy- ultimate pick-me-up game! the prince is one of my fav chars ever, love the tunes and humor and message

ACNL- cant understate this one, was critical for lonely mid/high school sye. definitive AC imo, was also HUGELY instrumental in me wooing my wife ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪ thank you aminals

wind waker- not my first zelda but i loveeee toon link so much. got my copy off ebay when i was in 3rd grade, love the graphics and ost. never officially finished it even though i know how because young me was too sad for it to end

super star ultra- do i hve to explain this one its SSU its perfect

my videos games
i tried to only choose one per franchise which was HARD!! some thoughts below

he is our most beautiful rainbowish boy

...oh my god i did draw him way too tall. i was so excited to not be drawing a chibi i swung too hard in the other direction 😭im so freaking sorry to little guys everywhere for i have failed you

A drawing of a protective Mareep guarding a wounded Dratini on the grass.

A drawing of a Dragonair floating above a calm ocean, causing ripples underneath it. A happy Flaaffy is sitting on its noodle body with glee.

A drawing of a Dragonite sliding in from the left, looking ready to fight and protect the hurt Ampharos behind it, who is looking at the Dragonite in surprise as he kneels.

An illustration of an ecstatic Mega Dragonite and a determined Mega Ampharos in the air behind a bright, white background. They look ready to fight as their features sway in the wind.

Dragons together :)
I honestly think these two lines were practically made for each other

im always out here squeaking with my squad brother

YES omg someone else gets the odd way the visuals blur together, ive always thought that too. i just had to listen to that track since i couldnt remember it and erm it is odd lol. its definitely got parts that are good (that piano bangs) but the mix of synths n stuff isnt workin for me either :x

im sorry danny i have tried like 3 or 4 times to play it i just get so bored each time 😭the 3ds kirby games were pretty but just not my style gameplay-wise... objectively theyre probably better than squeak squad LOL
im legally mandating that anyone who plays daroach in air riders must be a squeaker

at first i thought youre on THIN ICE for the squeak squad placement but you redeemed yourself with robobot 🤝 squeak squad honestly is probably low mid but im its biggest hype man, robobot frustrates me every time i play cause its BORING..... respectful list mefinks.... 🫡

opened another very small handful of sketchies (regular + chibi) get em before i explode (imminent)

A pencil sketch of a fox telling a sobbing Sye to repeat after him: "Sye IS strong. Sye IS brave." Sye continues on their own: "Sye is b-beautiful..."

REPEAT AFTER ME

they are going to put me back into lecture halls and make me do assignments and examinations daniel.... ASSIGNMENTS... and EXAMS.... theres not enough strength and bravery and beauty in the world to shield me from them

(im saving this to my phone and making a motivational slideshow ty ily 🥺😭😭😭)

if only if only... i moved from the east coast to the west coast! :p it was a cheaper program because it was a state university (bachelor degree funneled directly into their grad program). options for the same program are rly limited here and almost all private unis so they cost more money n time

thank you hyper, i really really appreciate it 💕 ive been lowkey freaking out about it lately so the encouragement means a lot lol

lollll bro i wish 😭 i was originally in an accelerated program to get a doctorates but had to move before i got the chance to do grad school, and grad school over here is fifty billion million dollars so that aint happenin' now 😖 i hate how expensive school is!!!!

sye is tentatively beginning to work on second degree (and going back/to a new school SCAWY)

this is genuinely so sweet and has been in the back of my noggin encouraging me the past couple days tysm 😭😭💕

sye... will be STRONG..... sye... will be BRAVE....
