It's my birthdaaaaay!🎊 As an artist, it's often difficult to acknowledge how much I work and how much I improve, so today I want to be nicer to myself and share some of my favourite pieces I made since my last bday.💙 If you'd like to share, it would be a lovely gift!🙏✨

Jet Force Gemini was one of those games I always wanted to play as a kid but didn't know how to get my hands on it. No idea what kind of game it was. Just looked cool

"Get ready to play fox paper scissors" I don't know why, but some of the captions for this guide on Yuel from Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising crack me up.
Screenshots of a fighting game character's super move with the captions:
Make your opponent regret jumping
Call in the wife

The captions and screenshots allude to Yuel's Super Skybound Art, which creates a vortex that gently pulls enemies and is difficult to defend against while airborne. Pulling the opponent into the attack  triggers a short animation where Yuel summons her friend to assist her in a finishing blow.A screenshot of a fighting game character with the caption "Get ready to play fox paper scissors".

This alludes to the character's "Third Dance" stance, which restricts the character's mobility, offensive, and defensive options in exchange for powerful counters and fast attacks that cause chip damage.

Cannot forget Kageko! I also commissioned @crybringer.bsky.social to do this adorable "spooky" image of Kageko, a reality-warping shadow fox nogitsune. I'll probably build her as a seneschal witch in #Pathfinder2e #ocart #oc #ttrpg

I'm still struggling to settle on a #Pathfinder2e build for this character. The problem is that I have a specific play pattern in mind, and I can't decide what class would enable it the best. I tend to think in play patterns when building characters, which might be caused by the game designer in me.

Donald Trump has earned $2.2 billion in 2 years. All DNC POTUS in the past 100 years have a combined net worth of $213 million. Less than 1%. If you include all DNC POTUS candidates in the past 100 years you reach $1.4 billion. (Mostly Kerry & Gore) Both sides are not the same.

Zhara is from a science fantasy #ttrpg setting I'm working on called Ruined Skies. I grown to love working on this setting, because it inspires all sorts of weird ideas. Like magitech mechs whose cockpits are thaumaturgic pocket dimensions.

League of Legends jokes abound.
Nidalee League of Legends fit?

Shhhh >.> <.<

Does she also come with a passive that provides increased XP gain to lower level allies?

Technically...yes! GMG does say under leveled PCs should get double XP

Oh. Well, that seems a little overpowered. Better nerf Irelia.

Splash art of a strong, dark-skinned woman with red hair fighting a monstrosity in the foreground, obscured by shadow. She points a long spear at its throat while it stands ready with large claws and teeth drippling with violet ooze. She has claws, cat-like golden eyes, long golden cat ears, and an outfit made of furs and hide.

A lot more to it than this and skill floor. I love fighting games but other multiplayer games have longer, more sustainable game loops. Especially true for cooperative games. #gamedev
Harada explains why younger players prefer team-based games over fighting games stating those games let them blame teammates for a loss instead of taking personal responsibility

"Fighting games pit you by yourself against a single opponent, you have to accept all the responsibility if you lose. You can’t blame anyone else. In team-based shooters, when players win, they can say that they won because of their own contributions, but when they lose, it’s because they got matched with a lousy team, but maybe we could include other ways of competing, outside of the main game. For example, maybe they don’t always have to fight one-on-one. They could opt for team battles, such as 3-on-3 matches."

In Rae Sagas #ttrpg, every individual has a personal demon that only they can see and hear. Like this comic, it feeds off emotional turmoil. Resisting or indulging the demon is a key to channeling a form of magic unique to mankind.
