I said I was done with the game, but the game isn't done with me

20 years later, and Blaze is still my all-time favorite Sonic character. And the character I draw most of all the ones I admire in any series 💜 Happy birthday, Princess

'Sonic Rush' was released on the Nintendo DS 20 years ago today in the US.

How is it 3 weeks in? Depression from the initial injections have gone away. Sex is more satisfying again. Skin is somehow even softer. My breasts are more sensitive, and both areolas are consistently inflated. Maybe it's working better than the pills? We'll see with more blood tests in 3 weeks.

HRT Update: My chest can finally fill in an A-cup bra, so guess who went shopping last week? ❤️ I smiled the whole evening. While I had bras before, those were to support my breast forms. Now I have one for the real deals, and it hits different.

Two months after Silksong released, I'm free of the most potent productivity-killing game I ever played! What an enrapturing story and world, but y'all scare me, Team Cherry! 💙💦 This is the hardest game I have ever played. Learning to use claw line during combat was my saving grace near the end.

Freedom Planet Plus V1.0 Final Trailer Releasing soon! When it's ready!

I'm delighted with DOSBox Pure so far. Setting up a Windows 98 SE VM hasn't been this easy before! 💙 There are some PC games that haven't played nicely with Windows since Win2000. Nor do they have recomps or fan-made patches to preserve them. It's not nostalgia, I still want to play these games 💙

First release of DOSBox Pure Unleashed, a standalone version of the DOSBox Pure RetroArch core, is here. It offers loading from archives, configuration menus, mouse & keyboard mapping for controllers, save states, screen filters, and other convenient features. schelling.itch.io/dosbox-pure

Things I wished I knew before starting HRT self-injections: Yes, you really do need to change the injection site every single time, and keep the needle pressed in for 10-15 seconds before pulling it out. *All* of the estradiol oozed out of the site. I had to wipe it clean and reinject elsewhere 💔

My job lets us dress up for Halloween, but I didn't know that until last minute, so I am dressed as a witch again. Happy Halloween y'all 🎃

Week 2 of taking HRT injections: I'm mixed on it Pro: My breast growth might be back on track? (They feel painful to touch again.) And my skin is even more sensitive. Con: My anxiety gnaws at me when I'm alone at night. Two depressive episodes so far. I hope it subsides, I don't feel like myself 💔

im increasingly confused as to why anyone would want to put up with that hellsite anymore. what is even there for you???

I don't think I'm prepared for the Bubsysonas! 💔

This is the kind of thing we need more of, community spaces on the internet that aren't controlled by corperations.

HRT Update: After a lot of running around last Friday, (Multiple pharmacies were out of meds!) I got my Estradiol Valerate. Promptly took my first injection the following morning, after reading for an hour. We'll see how this works over the next six weeks. Sticking yourself is kind of scary.

this is one of those times where I think getting mad at this says more about the person getting mad than anything else Like. This is your line? Making the most evil games in the world is fine but the anime slot machine creators seeking ways to more efficiently exploit is where the line gets drawn?

And again our OCs in mermaid AU #oc #originalcharacters

HRT update: My bloodwork shows while my estrogen went up, it still isn't where it needs to be. My NP says we need injections, not more pills. After some back-and-forth with the pharmacy over the wrong estradiol, I can pick it up soon. I am excited, but I dread adjusting to 4x my current E levels 💦

success!! temstuff.neocities.org/Journal

Libbie the Spirit Oryx ver.2025. Full size, transitional designs and design process can be found on my website: tysontan.com/gallery/gall...

September ended up being such an awful month for me, I feel like this boss is all I got done for the game. 💔 Not even the stage's mini-boss. Thankfully, a lot of deadlines for work are behind me. Spooky month needs to be Beihei Bay's month. And it will be fitting too. Y'all will see! ৻( •̀ ᗜ •́ ৻)

Capybara Village: A cozy little game with Capybaras, set in a Japanese village playinstinct.itch.io/capybara-vil...

I hope SEGA doesn't forget to make another classic sonic game someday, and they remember to put Trip in it. I love her.

And after that long detour with working on Final Nightmare + the late game, it's time to revisit Beihai Bay. Beihai Bay will be the next playable stage in the campaign, and its boss is now ready to fight! Meet the Penitent Squid. A construction robot frame possessed by Pixel to attack intruders.

I will personally never forgive fortnite for the 'spencers'-ification of games. To me this is just junkfood gaming

After 14+ years of GIMP, I learned Aseprite this year. It's my primary art software now, and I only had two complaints: • No moveable toolbars • No toolbox grouping A friend had to do some XML editing just to help me mirror the layout! 💔 The upcoming beta, however, has both! I'm in love!!! 💙💙💙

A beautiful pixel art featuring Mutio from Blue Submarine No. 6, drawn by @23lief.bsky.social - thank you!

Spontaneous selfie time 💙

good morning

Installing "one sec" on my phone has been a big help with preventing doomscrolling and I would definitely recommend it for everyone. one-sec.app

"Bluesky is boring." Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually. When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

This is how I felt after Penny's Big Breakaway 💔💔💔

Environmental foreshadowing is fun! ৻( •̀ ᗜ •́ ৻)

We only think we know how much our phones listen to us. Do you ever have a conversation in-person, then YouTube recommends videos on the topic in minutes? My workaround: Double a band-aid over the loudspeaker mic. It's less convenient, but it can't hear me now. Any good DeGoogled phones out there?

I want to do SAGE this year, but with me having a full-time job again, an SO in my daily life. I may need to ask for overtime so I can move faster with my transition- 💔 While I still work on the fan game each week, I can't throw *all* of my free-time at it, like last year. My life has changed a lot

I'm always thinking how I should document my code, and I had an epiphany. Code must be self-documenting. i.e, intuitive variable names. (No magic numbers!) There are times when optimized or cursed code needs explanation, of course. Maybe sometimes it's good to explain what our code ISN'T doing?

They should treat every new Pokemon reveal like a cryptid being spotted for the first time

Finished the promo art for the #FreedomPlanetPlus mod that @farkle.bsky.social requested me to make for him. It was finished far earlier than expected, surprisingly enough.

It hurts to work on sprites that are such huge spoilers for Freedom Planet Academy's story, and not being able to share them yet. Like, this is the biggest spoiler in the game. I wish I could share it with y'all right now! ; ^ ;💔But y'all will see it soon.

After that long detour with making bosses, enemies, and music for Final Nightmare, it's time to make Beihai Bay a fully playable stage! I am eager to work on the stage once Penitent Squid is ready. Pixel will harass the player, possessing various enemies. Her antics will influence the stage layout.

I have to admit, I am SO burned out on coding bosses! ; ^ ; I spent all of last night on my next game instead of Penitent Squid After this boss, I need take a break and work on stages + cutscenes. Freedom Planet's quantity of bosses, and the math needed for their sprites, is exhausting to emulate 💔

lazy Shantae sketches 🤷

And I'm excited to support this release of a new classic! 💙 I instant-bought Shantae: Risky Revolution for my Switch. This has the best approach to retro re-releases from WayForward so far: The option to switch between the original game and its modernized version! We get two cakes. 🍰🍰

Maybe it's time for an otherworldly place ran by trans furries! 💔

- Readjusted the health to 12 for Torque - Readjusted the energy bar sprite. - The Stage timer now show ups #FreedomPlanet #FreedomPlanetPlus

I went to the salon for the first time in months! 💙 What do y'all think?

Happy Birthday Samus! #Metroid #Samus

This month will be my first full year on HRT! It has been fun seeing and feeling the changes as they sneak up on me. In that time, I got full A-cups, thicker thighs, pudgy groin, larger cheeks, and my bottom lip is bigger. Kissing is more stimulating! And I put away my hip pads and breast forms! 💙

"Oh, but my engagements on Twitter!" I knew part of my metrics on Twitter was inflated by bots, more so after breaking 1.1k followers. They were not a reliable metric for who is interested in your projects, especially not now! Please log off Twitter, y'all. Real people talk so much more here! 💙
