people will say "did you know the creator of ... has a weird fetish" as if anything other than a weird fetish could possibly compel you to suffer through the creative process

Someone just reblogged this on tumblr with this tag and I just fucking died I've been on this shit for over a decade and it's only getting worse
kayinnasaki

written about this before but whatever.

Videogames as an artform have a problem with nostalgia. Not that people shouldn’t have nostalgia. Or that games shouldn’t draw from the past. But instead the weight we give to nostalgia.

When people go back to enjoy old games, we assume it’s a nostalgia thing. Do people assume that with books? Or movies? Or music? People certainly do go back in time with  those mediums for nostalgia! It happens! I know when my sister is listening to certain cheesy old boyband pop or punk she’s often having a musical nostalgia trip! That’s cool! But we still don’t ASSUME, CONSTANTLY thats why people go back to stuff.

People like old stuff because it’s cool and interesting. It’s historic. People go watch Metropolis still, but how many people alive could even be nostalgic for a movie like that?

I almost want to see the word Nostalgia excised from discussions about video games – not because nostalgia is bad but because we over use it to the point where it’s actually harmful I think.

I mean I made IWBTG and am making an NES style game right now and even for me, the obsession with ‘nostalgia’ seems crazy.

Old stuff is cool. I know this because I see a lot of you kids on my tumblr feed talking about games I know you didn’t grow up with. It’s like finding your parents record or CD collection. Thinking the primary greatness of old games is bringing back memories of eating cereal and playing games on a saturday morning is a great injustice, even if those memories for some are perfectly worthwhile things.

ash repairing storm's torso. storm is sitting on a bench with her abdomen panels off, exposing her inner components. she's looking at ash while holding a handlebar connected to the ceiling. ash is leaning forward, focused, using a green screwdriver to tighten a screw in storm's spine. the two are holding hands and blushing. storm's panels lay on a tool rack to the right

Robot Women in Suits Send Post #art #sketch #oc #characterdesign #robot #robotgirl
ash and storm in suits posing together. ash (left) is wearing a dark purple vest, dark purple pants, a white collared shirt and purple tie. she's winking and smiling. her left hand is around storm's hip and she's giving a peace sign. storm (right) is wearing a full dark turquoise suit and pants, as well as an orange tie. she has a more subdued, calm smile and is waving

storm isn't the most expressive person #ashthescavenger #art #sketch #comic #oc #robot #robotgirl
storm is walking to the left, looking stern. ash looks at her with a smug expression, waving tauntingly.

ASH: What's wrong, rival? Heist didn't go as well as you hoped?

ASH: Couldn't find any loot lying around?

ASH: Almost as if a certain... dashing scavenger beat you to the punch?storm turns around to look at ash, tilting her visor up to better show she has a more neutral expression. ash looks down, mildly disappointed

STORM: Huh? No, there was plenty. My run went really well actually.

ASH: ...Oh.

STORM: Did I look upset?

ASH: ...I mean, a little...storm looks dead ahead, contemplating something.storm lets out a very forced smile and points to her face

STORM: Does this make me look happier?

ASH (off-panel): I uh, think I just need to get better at reading people.

storm stketches #ashthescavenger #art #sketch #oc #robot #robotgirl
three sketches of storm with a neutral expression. one is a half-ish body sketch of her at a straight angle (left). the other two are head sketches, one of her from slightly above (upper) and one of her from slightly below (lower).

"a cool thing about her is that her face at different angles can convey slightly different emotions"three sketches of storm with different expressions. one of her laughing (top), one of her with an unreadable, cold expression (left) and one of her in shock (right)

"sometimes her eyes/eyebrows are more visible depending on the expression"
"specifically more vulnerable ones"a sketch of storm looking really angry. her arm is outstretched and she's priming her boomerang. her hair is sticking up and lightning is coming out of her eyes

batman: the brave and the bold was on when i was a kid (i never actively watched the show) and it was the episode with emperor joker. specifically the part where joker kills batman over and over again. think that was one of the first times i had a nightmare as a kid

I still see a lot of confusion about what decompilation, recompilation and ports are and what level of effort is involved in each type of project. It's important that people understand the difference, as recompilation took a drastically different meaning that when it was originally introduced.

If you think an artist's style looks like AI but you can scroll back through their portfolio and see them doing the same work before 2020, congrats, you're not looking at an AI grifter. You're looking at one of the original victims whose entire style AI stole.

I don't believe that every trans person in America should immediately be made aware of every single evil bill introduced by some podunk state rep in a random red state they don't live in I don't think that's healthy. I have always needed to see a likelihood of advancement before I would write it up

100% agree. it's kinda unfair because i never really latched onto silver as a character (ive never played sonic 06 so that's probably why) but i prefer most of her dynamics with other characters lol. they should experiment with her more like how they paired her with rouge in TMoStH

Watching the UK stream is honestly a Nintendo Direct hack. Everything is 5% less stupid and ALSO, they just subtitle the Japanese developers rather than overdubbing them, so you can hear eg Eiji Aonuma being adorable talking over the Zelda demo rather than a voice actor performing over him

last time the US did this, we had 700k covid deaths because bolsonaro refused to get vaccines in time and before that, we spent 24 years in a dictatorship; our latest democracy is only 38 years old and it's being threatened once again we cannot let another bolsonaro be the president again
