Joel Sterne @joelsterne.me · 05/10/2026NOTE: it does look a little better with Pen Pressure Opacity turned on, but the main issue is that Bitmap brushes act more like stamps than actually having the designated texture draw along the path. That cannot be resolved with this method, only worked around. 010
Joel Sterne @joelsterne.me · 05/10/2026I want to learn how to make scripted brushes that might mimic the behavior better, but that's beyond my ability right now. Maybe someone else who knows how to work with the FireAlpaca/Medibang brush API and LUA could make a better version someday. 010
Joel Sterne @joelsterne.me · 05/10/2026For Medibang Paint users, the closest approximation I could muster without learning how to do brush scripting was to shrink the png down to a square, feather the top and bottom edges, and create a bitmap brush with the settings shown in the image. It's not perfect, but it's serviceable. 211

Joel Sterne @joelsterne.me · 03/10/2026Rest easy, my sweet prince... You were the best, most loving and gentle cat I have ever known. I already miss you terribly, Hobo. I hope you know how much you were loved. By all of us. Only right to reciprocate how much you loved us. 071

Joel Sterne @joelsterne.me · 28/09/2026Not even that, just like. The messaging and themes within the games you picked line up with how you live your life, at least the parts you share on social media. The fun ones and the serious ones. 111
Joel Sterne @joelsterne.me · 28/09/2026I almost don't need an explanation for why you chose the games you did, they just... make sense for you. They describe the picture of what I know of you, all on their own. 110
Joel Sterne @joelsterne.me · 28/09/2026If you made it this far, thank you for tolerating my rambling. 💜 010
Joel Sterne @joelsterne.me · 28/09/2026The Message from Deep Space A charming game. Has notes of Project Hail Mary, but with a different overall vibe. The characters are very well written, they feel almost like real people sometimes. The story the game tells is pretty powerful. I didn't want it to end, even though it was inevitable. 210
Joel Sterne @joelsterne.me · 28/09/2026Tunic Trying to explain Tunic would spoil the experience, but if you've played it, you know. So many things to like about it, and it speaks to pretty much every aspect of me with all of its facets. 110
Joel Sterne @joelsterne.me · 28/09/2026Minecraft A fundamental part of my young adult life. Sparked my love of architecture design. Made friends, one of whom I viewed like a little brother (now sister 💜) & still occasionally keep in touch with. Was the first Moderator/Admin experience I had too, which is something I've done a lot of now. 110
Joel Sterne @joelsterne.me · 28/09/2026Sky: Children of the Light Same developers as Journey; mostly the same, doesn't do the nonverbal part as good, but it still gets a spot on the list because of just how much time I would sink into it. Some days I would wander off to one of the areas alone and just meditate and take in the scenery. 110
Joel Sterne @joelsterne.me · 28/09/2026Journey Probably needs no explanation. Masterful nonverbal storytelling. Creating an experience where strangers who can't speak the same language can communicate. The music. The music in particular was something that inspired me to start making my own music. (Even though I didn't take it far...) 110
Joel Sterne @joelsterne.me · 28/09/2026Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 Established my love of roller coasters, theme parks, and to a lesser extent, engineering and design. Got it from a book fair and it became one of my, my dad's, and my sister's, favorites. Still have the disc even though I own it on steam now for OpenRCT2 110
Joel Sterne @joelsterne.me · 28/09/2026Paper Mario TTYD Like the above, but also the story itself latched itself into my mind forever. It was so creative and unique within the lens of what a Mario Game is that nothing except Super Paper Mario gets anywhere close. Character designs, humor, lore... *Chef's kiss* 110
Joel Sterne @joelsterne.me · 28/09/2026Sonic Riders This game made me spawn a LOT of childhood art. Some of the first things I can remember drawing and being proud of. My mom would let me take a sketchbook when they'd drag me to church and I had so many Sonic and Extreme Gear doodles in there. It really captures my attention for a while 110
Joel Sterne @joelsterne.me · 28/09/2026Kirby Air Ride I was one of those kids that would get together with his friends and play Pretend and House in the City Trial mode. It was what gave me the way I most enjoy spending time with friends - booting up a game and hanging out with it. 110
Joel Sterne @joelsterne.me · 28/09/2026I have now also done the thing. I'll explain a bit in the thread 110

Joel Sterne @joelsterne.me · 27/09/2026Would love to vie for 23 this year if picked; 16 is also an evergreen fav, as you may remember from last year lol No good junk ref, but humanoid or canine are both ok; above average but not huge As always, thank you for the opportunity! Can't wait to see what you cook up for everyone this year! 010

Reposted by Joel SterneTikaka @tikaka.art · 01/09/2026I've said it before and I'll say it again; some people should half-ass their art more often! If it's not a commission and you're just drawing for fun, actually have fun with it! If your standards mean that you're too anxious to draw, lower them! Low-effort scribble is better than no art at all. 10336116
