Felt like adding to my Mario Bros. 1 redraw. Fixed Mario, added Luigi and Wario for fun. Peach, Toad and Bowser only work on black backgrounds like the original game. Allowed Koopa Troopa a sprite overaly to get an extra color like in SM3. NES accurate, but probably not optimized. #pixelart #ドット絵

Pixel art of mario characters based on Super Mario Bros. 1, but redrawn.

2025 has been a reflective year for me.. With AI slop becoming standard, I just want to make a game I enjoy and honestly couldn't give a shit if it sells. This is just me having fun creating. Who knows if this sees the light of day soon, but I'm fucking enjoying the creation / learning process.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

Very happy with my gamemaker twitch ext wrapper! Poll & Reward management, one function call eventsub setup, and now testing chat commands My first attempt was a little over engineered, but this works and keeps it simple! 20 lines to make a simple but functional quote system! #gamemaker #gamedev

$screenshot of gamemaker code: global.quotes = [] gmttv_chat_command("!quote add", function(_quote, _data){ var _user_name = _data.chatter_user_name array_push(global.quotes, $"{_quote} - {_user_name}") }) gmttv_chat_command("!quote get", function(_string){ var _index = string_digits(_string) if _index == "" { gmttv_chat_send_message("Please enter a valid quote number.") exit } else { _index = real(_index) } if _index > array_length(global.quotes){ gmttv_chat_send_message("Quote doesn't exist.") exit } var _quote = global.quotes[_index] gmttv_chat_send_message(_quote) })$
