me listening to the dissidia golbez voice lines and whenever I even as much as hear the exact grunts used for Zek’s voice I can feel my neurons fire like the wojak pointing image I sometimes forget that Zek actually has him as a voice claim (tho I think Zek wouldn’t be quite as… exuberant)

@zekrenard.bsky.social loves torturing me with comments like these ones in vc

lowkey wanna do smth for christmas,,,

oh, and if you find any red coins out there, make sure to grab those too

no joke my grandmother fed me three different desserts in a row when I visited her for christmas today, I feel insane

coming back to ring racers after a long hiatus and maybe playing an entirely different game (crossworlds) actually inadvertently helped since im finding tighter and cleaner lines a lot more easily i still need to derust but thankfully claimed at least a couple plats today with little issue

both parappa games are very good, but I think um jammer lammy has the upper hand as far as almost all the levels being full songs with full lyrics, as opposed to many levels in parappa being verse after verse of instructions plus the call and response with vocals and guitar is still so unique

lowkey I get a lil excited whenever I see Zek’s mod get new downloads, especially hoping he’s gotten more people into Ring racers in general I have a lot more characters planned for next year to hopefully get more of yall interested

posting the full redone zek rotation I made for my ring racers mod since I never bothered to before,,, i love seeing him spin

been playing this MMX-style indie called Gravity Circuit and it’s rly good, feel like shilling it cause it’s half off (and already rly cheap) and has rly great sprites/gameplay, it’s been on my mind rly hard and I lowkey kinda wanna learn to speedrun it a bit store.steampowered.com/app/858710/G...

got sonic crossworlds a few weeks ago and had fun but I lowkey feel like I’ve had my fill after 20ish hours, the drifting/snaking is fun but playing in higher level lobbies is a slog when I’m still kinda new to it, bagging is such an issue and LVL4 drift is almost required for the I-frames

omega-xis finally getting clean voice lines and a good HD model in the star force collection,,,, its dumb that he's a preorder bonus but ive definitely locked it in already unfortunately this may mean i delay the RR mod for him until it releases so i can get clean voice lines + touch up his sprites

zek would probably be somewhat like banyue from what I’ve seen of him

never looked into bananza speedruns but maybe I should,,, I wonder what crazy stuff they do it would lowkey be fun to learn more tech in the game anyways, tho I doubt I’d be up to the task of running it myself

going back to play megaman 11 for fun and to just get a feel for the modern game’s looks, it’s very fun and I hope they expand on the double gear I tend to prefer using buster only for my plays but the gears really still add a bit of strategy to *how* you use your buster, which keeps it fresh

replaying DK bananza and I rly think it’s one of the best games Nintendo’s released so far, while I’m a lil sad it didn’t win GOTY it really does improve on the standard odyssey gameplay loop so much wasn’t expecting much when it released but it definitely was a surprise

stuck at work rn, racking my brain on what angle I should approach the robot master contest with should I go for a design that purely feels like a Megaman design? should I add traits that are distinctly zek-core? risk making a gimmicky concept that may not fit in their grand vision for the game?

god i gotta. i gotta lock in and do my god given duty as a megaman fan and design a robot master for the robot master design contest i never thought this day would come

i was hoping for DK or silksong to win GOTY mainly cause i dont rly feel extremely interested in playing clair myself, but it's not rly surprising/bad that clair won that being said i was so so hyped to hear them break into heart of gold from DK with vocals, they got the coolest part of the medley

if all else fails, maybe something simple like Zekraeus (pronounced Zek-ray-us) could work for his full name not that it matters much with him largely being referred to as Zek but I would like him to have an elegant name that also befits his status as Arceus

sometimes i remember the digimon adventure tri movies and get mad at how fucking bad the story for them was

sometimes I’m trying to practice tweaking him to be the most ideal zek he can be,,, slightly more prominent jaw, way thicker neck, blocky mane/snout and everything

It’s so funny how awkward Arceus’s multitype ability is, I think about it a lot and like. normal-type Arceus simply doesn’t get an ability and any typed Arceus is stuck with a kind of mediocre item instead of leftovers/life orb etc Arceus probably doesn’t suffer too greatly from it but it’s funny

city trial is so so good, I don’t even care about gliding or whatnot I just love offensemaxing and killing people

the megaman star force anime is so fucking sauceless and mediocre that its genuinely painful to watch, even when i wanna try and do it just for omega xis's voice

I gotta lock in with spriting but the holidays are here 💔 the mod pack probably won’t be out til a bit into the new year cause I’m struggling to find drive but Scolipede, zavok and omega xis are guaranteed to be in the first release (maybe others too)

One thing I’m really happy with regarding Zek’s implementation in DRRR is like, with most characters, alt colors sometimes make them feel like some forbidden alternate version of themselves but with zek, since only his rings change it always feels like it’s actually him no matter what color he is

“Zek” is so hard to turn into a longer name, especially trying to mix it with Arceus I want it to be that “Zek” is his nickname but he has a longer, more elegant full name to accompany his Lord title

if you really think about it, lammy could turn the entire planet into a guitar in the same way that that girl from chainsaw man turns entire states into swords

random thing but dark type is usually my type of choice for zek when it comes to ring racers, idk if that means anything but its giving roaring moon/hydreigon the low-speed heavy stats for it are good tho, drifts are very powerful and the ring boosts are nice for smooth recovery without items

Zek’s design was definitely heavily compressed due to his original sprites for ring racers and fitting him in such a small space, but over time with the new sprites and my personal sketches he’s been taking on a more blocky face design with a broader jaw and thicker neck that I’m really vibing with

space channel 5 part 2 is so fucking good lois

not really super exciting stuff but. tasked myself with making an aesthetically pleasing set of pokemon type icons for use with my zekrom for showing his current stats/type i really like the gen 3/4 type icons but had fun trying to blend them with the characteristic ring racers flair and shine

thinking again abt how sad it is that sega delisted space channel 5 part 2,,, i really hope they at least rerelease both parts together someday (part 1 really needs some fixes to its input issues anyways)

I need to sit down and draw some extremely self-indulgent yumeshipping of myself and king of red lions so bad, he’s like my favorite

I feel like I should make Zek’s name into like. a longer and more elegant name that’s still able to be shortened into “Zek” he’s technically only 50% zekrom anyways and I lowkey want him to have a name befitting of his arceus status too and a longer name fits better with Lord as a title

the way i can sense the tension in the air

idk what I was expecting but sonic rumble looks so fuckin bad 😭 makes me upset just looking at it, and all the mobileslop skin purchases and pop ups and such are so awful

god mariokart world is so ass but I’ve been glued to it for the past few days i hate scumbag strats so much but genuinely bagging has gotten me so much more results than honest play (plus it’s fun to try and feel for thunder-ey vibes and parry it with a star/grow/bill)

progress has been slow on sprites, been taking a lot of time to just relax but i should try and get these racers out soon,,, im just not lookin forward to doin the head turns 😭

I’m currently using a large portion of my time to work on spriting, I feel like I’m not productive enough but at the same time I’ve got a large portion of several racers done my only goal rn is to get as many people into ring racers as possible

unsure if mordekaiser will make the cut for my packs release but,,, I wanna give it a try

im working a whole lot to make a whole ring racers pack, cant show the gifs on here but heehee

top 10 zek games (roughly speaking) was kinda hard to choose honestly but i did what felt right (didnt want to overlap series for this but metroid 2 is essentially tied alongside prime so i didnt wanna exclude it)

Ough Zek is almost at 500 downloads, please consider picking him up and giving ring racers a try 🙏 mb.srb2.org/addons/arceu... I have big plans for my ring racers stuff but they’ll take a long while to come to fruition,,, I post wips and such more often on my discord tho heehee

a lil joke art I drew a couple weeks ago when I was supposed to be spriting instead

another wip heehee,,,

lowkey want a low poly 3d thing of my zek someday,,, either for V/R or maybe to put in ring racers I love low poly cause like. it gets the shapes across without being too overly well sculpted in a way that promotes thirst

coming soon to a ring race near you (if i can find good footage for his voice)
