16 bit pixel art bust of a fair skinned shapely woman with long blonde hair and golden eyes.  She wears a brown cowboy hat with a red ribbon tied at the back, a red shirt with baggy sleeves, a blue sleeveless longcoat with a red waist-wrap, and red elbow-length gloves.  She's posed pinching the brim of her hat between her index finger and thumb.  The art depicts the character Rushuna Tendou from the anime and manga Grenadier.

Why bother with a racist show run by maga sex perverts when you can watch Japanese lesbians fighting giant pandas with a hammer?

So... possible legit use for blockchain against AI? Real photographers and videographers document real events and put the media file hash on a blockchain, immutably datestamped to at least prove the file existed at the right time. Reactive after-a-crisis AI slop will not be able to prove existence.

When an entire community declares they would rather have their immigrant neighbors, friends and family than your armed, masked, unidentified thugs, I do not see how you have a mandate to police that community. You are not serving them, nor protecting them.

Full Athena arcade World Of Forest map from probably VGMaps ~2017; the basis for the NES map recreation PoC.

Full Athena arcade World Of Forest map from probably VGMaps ~2017; the basis for the NES map recreation PoC.

I should note the map is based on a probably data-dump-based full map of Arcade world 1, NOT the NES version. I know I wrote tools to find unique tiles/blocks, and re-pack the hand-thinned tileset for NES. I think I structured the PoC by room, with the vertical fall being room 0/undefined.

ok, by pure fluke, my 2018 arrangement concept mp3 was only a few seconds longer than the ROM gifcap I just made, so hey, I have tools to make thing.

I wish I could just bsky-drop a MP3 or MIDI. I also have a rewrite of the stage 1 BGM to use all 3 tonal channels (I think the official game uses 2 tonal channels and hard-reserves 1 for sound effects) and also be scored like videogame looping BGM not some kid's one-off piano recital selection.

spritework reduction concept for what NES Athena could have been. Lower/blue space is palette concepting and compositing somtimes over the original arcade art. White+gray looks like "finished" NES tiles, but only the white box would fit in the NES CHR bank at one time. I think at a minimum the bottom 24px (3 16px rows) of the white box would need to be bankswappable to only the immediately relevant enemy & powerup sprites, and/or the weapon sprites would need to be jiggled into their own quarter-bank for easier swap. Orrrr we begin discussing CHR RAM and soak a bunch of CPU on weapon change & powerup reveal.

More archival rummage, yeah, the re-spriting concept was pretty far along knocking the arcade spriteset down to 4 NESable palettes but pretty far to go rough-packing into the available CHR tilespace (white box). A mapper would def be needed, but I think it could be done.

It sickens me every time someone gets airtime to calmly describe how human beings with civil paperwork violations deserve to be characterized as murderers, dealers, and rapists and brutally taken down without warrant or due process.
REAL worst crime should be a slam-dunk warrant in any fair court.

The girlkisser stories will continue until morale. . . actually, wait. Morale already seems pretty high as a result of said girlkissing stories.

Well, I guess they'll just continue indefinitely, then.

Sometimes being an author is looking at your finished book like a tarot deck. "Okay, what hidden subtleties about my subconscious did I hide in here? What do I need to learn?"

It's a shame how half-baked the NES port is. I started a PoC years back proving out (in NES assembly) that the maps could look far better and getting a start on the sprites, but then SNK did some rereleases of their own and I decided it was not the best time to touch the IP without permission :P

I can give more of a solid timeline for this now!

I will be doing a 2-day Puzzle Game Marathon on GDQ Hotfix! This will be around 2 days of 6 hours each in the month of April (dates to be confirmed soonTM).

I am still open to submissions (use passion project as the show you're submitting to)!

Just like you can track down and arrest violent criminals without arresting and abusing thousands of innocents per, and also murdering innocent citizens.

No donations in several days, and we have a few more small bills and expenses to deal with today.

None of it is huge, but they all add up and move us further away from escaping this tent and getting on the train to go help pumpkin!

Anything helps reverse the trend!

The words some tips for effective communication above a very on the nose picture of a brick with the word 'words' on it falling onto a man with his hands up. This definitely isn't AI as AI wasn't invented then so bore off.

'Taxi' and 'cab' essentially mean the same thing, but 'cab' doesn't come from 'taxicab.'

It comes from ‘cabriolet,’ which was a type of light carriage.

‘Taxi’ comes from ‘taximeter,’ which is the device that calculates the amount of a fare based on the distance traveled.

Hello everyone.

I see I've accidentally made my daily log thread go a bit viral again by writing a poem.

Today I wet and reshaped the opening of the ice breaker's holster to make it easier to sheath one-handed.
