The way profit maxxing corpo culture has invaded every form of art through algorithms pushing people into daily posting is really weighing on me lately. Efficiency and regularity of making "content" being prized above all else feels so grim, man.

PLEASE. yall would not believe how much time we lost trying to ensure that Wanderstop's relatively limited use of video cutscenes would run on _just_ pc and steam deck. did you know they're NOT cross-compatible for video????? for some reason

In the map screen in Super Mario Sunshine, a Yellow Yoshi in the Pinna Park brochure is seen saying something nearly unreadable: [screenshot of unreadable text] However, trying to enhance the image suggests, using the evidence provided, that he is congratulating someone named Shinko: Please accept my best wishes for your marriage, Shinko! Shinko Konishi is a map designer who has worked at Nintendo since 2000. In 2001, she worked with programmer Yoshitaka Takeshita on Animal Crossing: Field Design Jun Takamura Shinko Konishi Program Masaro Sakakibara Makoto Sasaki Nobuhiro Sumiyoshi Yoshitaka Takeshita Hiroshi Umemiya In Super Mario Sunshine, Yoshitaka Takeshita was not involved, and her name was still Shinko Konishi: MAP DESIGN Hiromu Takemura Atsushi Miyagi Shinko Konishi Taeko Sugawara However, in Super Mario 64 DS, they work together again (in the same roles), and now Shinko's last name is Takeshita: MAP & LEVEL DESIGN MINI-GAME PROGRAMMING JUN TAKAMURA SHINKO TAKESHITA EIJI MUKAD YUJI SAHATANI YUKARI SUZUKI YOSHITAKA TAKESHITA EIJI NISHIKAWA This all is extremely strong evidence that Shinko was engaged to Yoshitaka during the production of Super Mario Sunshine. As the Yoshi image would have been made by someone on the map design team, they would have worked closely with Shinko and used this opportunity to congratulate her.

In Super Mario Sunshine, the Pinna Park map screen brochure features a Yoshi saying something nearly indecipherable. However, it turns out there is compelling evidence that he is congratulating a map designer on her upcoming wedding to a programmer at Nintendo.

Here's my attempt at ALL 9 of the TF2 mercenaries.

Tried to keep em close to the vanilla Mii style

no no, you were cooking with the edutainment line, it doesn't get much better than a preschool flash website

The Super Mario World theme is inspired by the 1963 song "Green Green". Nintendo planned a cheeky reference to this on the Satellaview by playing Green Green with the SMW soundfont, but this went unused, possibly due to the legal consequences of acknowledging the inspiration.

If you're a game developer, you're really in it for the love of the game.

finally rewarding the loyal ones!

This isn’t to say I’m against working for anyone else’s projects or creative endeavors, it’s more so me saying, “No, hold on, wait for me to get the Master Sword and I’ll be your devoted warrior, until then I am but a pawn“

never did this on bluesky so I'll keep up the tradition:

Official Sneldon: Unpaid Intern Vacation Mode
Jib 'n Funk: ALWAYS DOWN FOR, HMU PLEASE
Nocturne: Extracting Value
Notstar: Sequel Script Awaiting Lost Media Status
The Adventure: A Most Valuable Extraction

She kinda messed up the act, but she got a tip.

the real talk retriever. You can stop reading this now.

real talk: i Think it’d be really nice and beneficial to start reuploading a bunch of my old (cringe) art here cause it’s just gonna make Stuff so much easier down the line. How many of you know Meri

Akai Tethya, taking subconscious note of the tight, comforting feeling of rubber covering her squishy spongebody.

Akai, subsequently after, taking cognitive note of the suit’s elasticity, its water retention, and the small gap of exposed absorbent sponge between the suit pant legs and Akai’s moccasins.

I love her, she’s so rad

Everything is better when it’s corporatized. Fair enough that bad actors would rise up and weaponize a “royalty free“ game soundtrack but this is the literal price.

Someone has to justify their entire BUSINESS now every day and ALL that free money is on the table!

10 years ago, because Undertale was published by one dude, it felt like every video had UT music in the background. SoundCloud was nothing but AU remixes. Megalovania is in Smash. This just kept being the trend with Deltarune too up until around the early 2020s and wow I wonder why

I can’t blame TwistedPixel for joining Meta when it comes to VR GameDev but; wow you think the fucking Facebook company cares about any of the game IP they sit on?

I’m hopeful somehow someone who cares can get the Twisted Pixel library back but damn. X360 heads suffer once more…

This year I aim to be way more transparent and connected to people so the OBVIOUS first step nearly two weeks in is to just outright be the definitive sponge lady appreciator online.

This is Wanda. She dreams of being a superhero, though she struggles with shyness and insecurity. Her powers are tied to her emotions, so they often spiral out of control. She's a member of a vigilante group called The Runaways, whom I'll introduce later

its a 2000s commercialism thing. you had to be there (to get the brain chemistry)
