Sometimes we all just want to take a break and run across a big field.

Mario running animation by
@thoddsgame.bsky.social

i dont because i tried to install it on steam (linux), didnt run.
then apparently proton was fixed and it DID run directly in steam without outside scripts.
BUT i only found that out now that they banned linux users lol

davinci resolve maybe? they are strict over drivers

NOOOOOOOOOO TOBYYYYYYYYYYYYYY I NEED THE AXE WIELDING HE/HIM LESBIAN LIZARD TOBYYYYYYYYYYYY
(congrats on the up coming release, funny dog man. you have me way too invested)

The European Nintendo Switch Online version of Super Mario 64 contains an exceedingly bizarre bug where Cool, Cool Mountain and Big Boo's Haunt will occasionally randomly swap O's and U's between each other, becoming "Cool, Cool Muuntain" and "Big Boo's Haont".

my dealbreaker was that it was cringe and instagrambrained. i didnt like bluesky because it was a wasteland but now its super lively so i like it. feels like if twitter was a bit more human

you crafted her into this world you must now pay the price of your creation's suffering

Somebody is coming.

sans general im like your biggest fan yk?

Day #73 of drawing boo until I get a boo plush.
Lady Bow should also be here.
important one that took longer than expected...
at least she's here!

"uh susie goes by she/her 🤓"
I DON´T CARE SUSIE USES ORE IN JAPANESE LET ME HAVE THIS ;-;

is this dog evil

btw thank you to you and @dmgthepoly.bsky.social for the fun discussion, i may be stubborn but I have no ill intent here! just a nerd

no no the issue isn't flat coloring per say, its the over reliance (which i know is part of the style, but then its not just "low poly")
see sonic from sonic r. he is sharp but all the polygons are adding a lot to the shape. he uses solid colors but when polygons would be worse he uses textures.

Look at blooky's lower half for example, that's not how you'd model it given real polygon restrictions (you'd use an alpha texture).
I think this is just a style that needs a better name tbh, because it is a really cute artstyle and I do like it.

The only thing i despise about modern pixel art is mixels!
Modern low poly very often ignores the "do as much with as little polygons as possible" and instead opts to focus on sharper angles and overuse of solid colors. So instead of doing a lot of little it's usually a little with a lot...

no I'd actually argue its a very different situation to pixel art.
It's very commonly higher res and using seemingly unlimited color pallets depending on the person, yes. But this doesn´t go against the very principal of pixel art (representing something or someone with resolution limitations)...

please toby i need axe wielding he him lizard lesbian with shy femme gf i need it now toby

still dont think "low poly" describes it well. even if it can be valid I'd just like something more specific.
for now its the "harsh edge solid flat colors" style in my head

yeah, mario was just bellow 700 triangles! (but tbf enemies and level geometry was much, much lower poly). tbh this is one of the more favorable examples I've seen (even if its still making edges overly sharp instead of just having less polygons like a model from the "low poly era")

tobyfox ik you're on bluesky please send chapter 3 i need more he him lesbian lizard please consider it

@rovertronic.bsky.social big if true

(which is fine on its own obviously)

yeah fair enough but at least to me and many others "low poly" just means using the least amount of polygons to convey a shape and textures to convey detail depending on style (mario from sm64 is basically all lights).
this, at least to me, is just flat shaded, solid color, sharper faces artstyle

random thought, but why do youtube videos struggle to have interesting meaningful replies that I like to read like on twitter or reddit?
even in niche content the comments just read so ""normie-like"".
is it because youtube is less restrictive on what it pushes to your homepage or something?

this is by no means low poly aha, maybe its low poly like a modern lod model but definitely not even close to what you'd model on ps1 or n64

@bsky.app please add drafts thx

wait a second there has been a term for someone with introvert and extrovert qualities THIS WHOLE TIME and ive been calling myself a "extroverted introvert" instead?? WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME

no matter if its twitter or bluesky. i can never escape people describing flat shaded solid color as "low poly" 😭
