Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is over. What a journey it has been. And to think I just began playing it last month before Future Saga Chapter 4 came out. The amount of content there was in the game was nothing more than astounding. Thank you, Bandai Namco. And thank you, Akira Toriyama, for everything.

NEVER MIND, THE FINAL DLC IS HERE!!!

The final DLC for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 releases tomorrow. I'd like to express my gratitude to the staff at Bandai Namco Entertainment for giving me one heck of a Dragon Ball experience. My appreciation for anime has truly grown. So come tomorrow, Future Saga Chapter 4 is where I finish the job.

@davewongillies.bsky.social Thank you for everything, Dave! I'll share the final batch of Game Boy palettes on itch and/or GitHub!

@segasnatcher.bsky.social I'm forever grateful to have been part of the FPGAming community. But I'm sad to say that my journey is officially coming to an end. Tell everyone on the FPGAming Discord about this, okay? Stay tuned for when I post the final update on Itch!

After 7 years, I am stepping down from creating new #GameBoy palettes. The reason why is because I want to put my focus more on drawing in the style of anime. To everyone who has been following me on this journey, thank you all very much! The final update shall be released later this summer on itch.

I wanna thank PlayStation for inspiring me to collect physical media once again. Once I get my hands on a region-free Blu-ray and DVD player, it'll be back to collecting complete series in DVD packages like the good ol' days! And also Blu-rays.

We're in the endgame now. The final DLC for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 launches July 8th! To all of the staff at Bandai Namco Entertainment and Dimps Corporation, thank you very much for all your hard work for the past 10 years! And most of all, thank you, Akira Toriyama, for everything.

Now let's learn the differences between physical purchases vs. digital purchases. Physical media: Once bought, it's yours to keep forever. Also for preservation. Digital media: You only purchase the license, and can be taken away from you without warning. So uh... support physical media, folks!

Physical media is forever. Buy laserdisc! Yeah... PlayStation is trying to get rid of physical discs for new games starting January 2028. And as someone who'd rather collect physical games, this decision isn't sitting well. One way or another, if enough people speak up, this is going to backfire.

@dalto2.bsky.social Oh that's right! You didn't know? I've been a Divoom member for almost three years. It's not just the fancy pixel art speakers, but mainly the Divoom app is where it's at.

I wasn't expecting this post to continue aging well. I truly thought SEGA was going to celebrate Sonic's 35th anniversary by coming up with their own answer to the Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo, but with the clock in style of the item monitors. Guess not. Thank goodness for #Divoom to fill that void!

@thegamingruana.bsky.social Long time no see, Nico! I've been putting my focus on drawing in my sketchbook lately to show those AI bros how you do it!

@thegamingruana.bsky.social What do you think of this?

Forever fast indeed. For those who have #Divoom pixel art speakers, you can celebrate Sonic's 35th anniversary the way SEGA should've done it. By using these animations inspired by the item monitors sourced from the 2D #Sonic games; whether it's Sonic 1, 2, 3 & Knuckles, or even Mania Plus.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 is most likely going to surpass GTA 6 in terms of hype. With what's going on right now regarding GTA 6's physical release, it's safe to say that Xenoverse 3 will be 100% both physical and digital when the game releases next year. Just... take a moment to think about that.

Xenoverse 3 is looking very promising. But that leaves one question: is the game going to have a vocal theme song heard in the game's opening? I don't care who sings it, be it Hironobu Kageyama, Takayoshi Tanimoto, or even that Majin idol ROM (with the English version provided by Elsie Lovelock).

With the release of the Donkey Kong Bananza theme for the #Alarmo, what is next for Nintendo's alarm clock? I'm thinking we're probably going to get Luigi's Mansion next. It would also be the perfect theme for Halloween too.

Unsurprisingly, I called it! #Alarmo

Man, DK Vine, you're like a crystal ball! #Alarmo

@dkvine.com Here's an Alarmo update that'll make you go bananas!

So he's finally here, performing for you, and with this #Alarmo theme, you can wake up with him too! Donkey Kong Bananza swings into the Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo! And the update is available now!

With #SonicRacingCrossWorlds adding Neon Genesis #Evangelion to the roster, it's only a matter of time before there is fan art with Sage and Rei Ayanami together, given they're both voiced by Ryan Bartley in English and Megumi Hayashibara in Japanese.

So, we ARE adding #Umamusume to #SonicRacingCrossWorlds, right? I'm saying this because the Satono racehorses are owned by former SEGA Sammy CEO, Hajime Satomi. This is SEGA's opportunity to add Satono Diamond to the roster! They literally just had an Umamusume collab for the Initial D arcade game!

With #SonicRacingCrossWorlds getting a second season pass, now's the time to request @sega-west.bsky.social and @sonic-official.bsky.social to add Satono Diamond from #Umamusume: Pretty Derby to join the roster. Given that the real Satono Diamond is owned by Hajime Satomi, this is the perfect time.

Jinkies! Star Detective #Precure and Detective Conan are crossing over this Saturday and the one after! This will be a future legend!

One major reason why I'm investing in a PlayStation 5 instead of a Nintendo Switch 2 is because of one reason. Two words: Pokémon scalpers. They're the lowest of the low by reselling Pokémon cards to make a quick buck. Which is why I'm getting more into Pokémon ROM hacks rather than official games.

Did you know? The #PlayStation Portable was compatible of playing videos in case you weren't playing any games at the moment. Even today's videos could be watched on the PSP using a converter called Handbrake! Meaning you could use a PSP to watch anime series on the go! www.pspunk.com/psp-handbrake/

Cygames... just what exactly are you implying? #Umamusume #SEGA

Going forward as of today, I'm not gonna be active on Bluesky as I once was, and here's why: I'm going to focus my time on drawing to show those AI bros how you do it; with practice, perspective, geometry, and references. Oh, and support real artists, okay?

Nature is healing. We got the return of the ZSNES emulator before GTA 6. zsnes.com

May the 4th be with Steam. Star War jokes aside, the #SteamController launches May 4th!

I am a rebel against generative AI. Whether I'm drawing on a sketchbook or doing some pixel art for the #Divoom app, this is what being creative means. #NoToGenerativeAI

#Gatorade Lower Sugar has drastically decreased my sugar intake for the better after 20+ years. If I were to the rank the four flavors I'd recommend from 1 to 4, they'd have to be: 1 - Lemonade 💛 2 - Rain Berry 🩷 3 - Fruit Punch ❤️ 4 - Glacier Cherry 🩶 Give them all a try! You won't be disappointed!

Artist challenge: See if you can draw Cure Answer (Star Detective Precure) and Shinichi Kudou (Detective Conan) awesomely shaking hands, referencing the handshake between Ryu and Cyclops from the opening intro of X-Men vs. Street Fighter. #precure #DetectiveConan

After the final DLC packs for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds release [TMNT: Mutant Mayhem and Avatar Legends], I'm planning to sell my #NintendoSwitch, my games, and amiibo to move on to greater things in gaming. Emulation, flash carts, PlayStation, and Steam. As a former Nintendo fanboy, it's been fun.

I just saw the negative reviews for #PokemonChampions. Online play required (meaning no more local play battles), no more Rental Teams like in Stadium 1 and 2, and even performance issues (even on Switch 2). The Nintendo I once knew and love growing up is gone. I completely blame Shuntaro Furukawa.

#Umamusume in #SonicRacingCrossWorlds is a huge deal for one big reason: Satono Diamond's caretaker is the SEGA Sammy CEO, Hajime Satomi. So I could see Satono Diamond and Gold Ship join the roster. Given the Umamusume collab for Initial D: The Arcade, I bet SEGA and Cygames are having discussions.

We jut got evidence that #Umamusume might be on its way to #SonicRacingCrossWorlds as part of an imminent second season pass! Umamusume is coming to Initial D: The Arcade as part of a limited-time collaboration; developed by the same team behind CrossWorlds! info-initialdac.sega.jp/7394/

As a former Nintendo fanboy, here's a friendly reminder: it is morally okay to emulate Nintendo games: whether with emulators or even flashcarts on real hardware. With ROM hacks, let's just say you'll get more bang for your buck!

Look out, #MarioKartWorld. On May 19th, you're going to have some REAL competition on the track. #ForzaHorizon6

Which means #ForzaHorizon6 will also be playable on #SteamOS supported handhelds! AND here's the best part: no Xbox account required and no DRM whatsoever! So we're free to race any time, anywhere as we explore Japan on our PC gaming handhelds! Look out, Mario Kart World!

PSA for those with a #SteamDeck and/or other #SteamOS handhelds: if you're not using your Steam devices to play your Steam games, I'm here to say that you could use it as the next best thing: an anime binge-watching machine via Desktop Mode! (Just make sure you have adblockers on, okay?)

I don't know what's going on at Bandai Namco following the departure of Katsuhiro Harada, but I have a hunch things are going smooth-sailing in terms of the #idolmaster IP. 2026 is something else!

Onward and upward! Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the latest game to be represented on the Nintendo Sound Clock: #Alarmo! Released to commemorate the launch of the Bellabel Park DLC! The hourly chime is Elephant Mario bashing the amount of Goombas concurring with the current top of the hour.

We're getting a Miki Hoshii video special before GTA 6. Premieres March 26th! #idolmaster idolmaster-official.jp/news/01_18483

@kulisu.bsky.social Check this out, Kulisu!

Man. We got Ryan Gosling appearing on #hololive before GTA 6. youtu.be/fJ_1uyqCPT0

@amhcosplays.bsky.social Check this out! Some drawing practices of mine?

My drawing progresses so far from my sketchbook. Now, while it's cool that I'm starting to get used to drawing anime eyes and shapes (especially the stars), the only thing I need to focus on is drawing the human body and hair. #art
