Note to self: don't ever try to merge the cool S with the Superman logo, it won't end well

Welp, I just saw an argument over purism versus accessibility in terms of playing old games, and now I'm angry and have a lot to say. A thread! #videogames #retro #retrogaming

Does this count? The Hawthorn is a fusion of sword and shield #pixelart

DUCK FOR COVER, AIR RAID! Oh wait, it's just Cleo.

DeviantArt is facing backlash amid major changes: • Its mobile app has been discontinued • Free downloads are now limited to 10 per week • Users are being pushed toward CORE, a subscription also required for artists to sell on the platform

Things I need to learn but can't: Blender It's a great tool, but Jesus Christ, it is too much of an everything tool, so I can't just use it to do quick things like handle pixel animations using the Astortion method, because I'm too stingy about making 100s of custom frames...

Q: I don't see [x-thing] on your BMAC, does that mean you won't do it? A: On the contrary, my BMAC's job is to facilitate comms that are more run-of-the-mill, don't be afraid to ask if I can do something new! Q: What CAN you do? A: #Pixelart, #Textmode, #lowpoly, #vectorart, and more!

Hey @fcpnchstds.bsky.social, I just had the opportunity to look over your EULA for S&box, and I noticed you guys are still demanding forced arbitration for US residents. I would greatly appreciate it if you guys removed this since I wish not to sacrifice my 6th and 7th amendment rights in order to>>

So, we got a new dog (Cleopatra, Left), and Willow is absolutely jelly (right)

Update on the situation, it turns out that Aseprite handles its UI by squishing and stretching assets instead of tiling them, so I can't just make large ass tiles and mess with JSON data to make it work. No wonder why we didn't at least get a winamp style theme... #pixelart

So, I'm thinking of creating some Aseprite themes based around various metallic textures, however, I need some help figuring out how the hell I should handle tileable images for this job without risking it looking tacky...

It gets more scary when you realize the fact that most indie games die in obscurity, for every hit success, there's probably thousands that are rotting in the landfill of ideas. Not every indie game is going to be successful, and it just makes it unviable for these laid-off workers unfortunately...

I am late to the party here with this, but I was waiting a bit for someone to give me the template... #FuckAI #NoAI (Yes, I shoved this through an Instagram filter just to add to the meme more)

Okay, hear me out for a new law: Musk's Law: "Any product or set of products offered by a company will go to shit given enough time after said company is bought out by a larger entity"

New entry for the Lambda Generation #AlbumArtComp2026! #pixelart #tf2 #VanHalen #AlbumArt

New progress shot (The Lambda Generation community couldn't handle a balanced vote for the bg ref...)

PSA: The content this user publishes to their website is primarily AI generated. The following image was taken from their website and shows notable generation artifacting from consumer grade models to create "pixel art".

New project teaser! #tf2 #pixelart #VanHalen #pyroland #pyrovision #wipart #wip

Shot earlier in the day, remote play would be considered a great idea, until Steam forces you to type in that pairing code. This ONE thing makes it hell when you're over 10mi away from your machine and can't just remote in via any other method.

Still not a fan of AI, got an idea for a meme though. I don't own a SINGLE image here lol

This is a first to receive in my notification feed from these bots. Why do I know it's a bot? Because it has zero natural human behavioral patterns on here plus only 1 post.

Behold, it is finished! Lambda Generation post for details: community.lambdageneration.com/half-life/po... #pixelart #halflife #halflife1 #daftpunk #randomaccessmemories #albumparody

Trying something new on top of recording timelapses, progress shots! If I feel like I did a significant change, I nab a screengrab and post it to my reference file. Makes it easier to look back on an earlier step to see if I made an error. #pixelart #halflife #wip #workinprogress

Breaking news, James actually makes some proper new OC art after a nearly 2 month hiatus! #pixelart #animatedpixelart #newgrounds #tankman NG post with more ramblings: www.newgrounds.com/art/view/jam...

Hello Bluesky! If you're looking for an opportunity to support both Cascadian Action and #Cascadia Stack, and are in #Portland, March 19th's the date to come down to Powell #Burgerville and support both of our orgs for our upcoming #CascadiaDay community event!

Ordered a nice batch of stickers from @stickerninja.bsky.social. Looks like the test run was a success with a few of these cut styles, so all that's left is an outdoor stick test, but I got some good faith in the quality here

Talk about an amazing final lab for this term, I had to use an amplifier circuit with a computer mic, but since we had no mic, I got creative with the audio out! Of course, I had to do the classic DankPods test with Scarlet Fire.

@devkidd.bsky.social is there any way you could integrate into your animation toolkit some sort of way to make a looped animation on par with handling conveyor belts and similar styles of loops?

Back before I was establishing myself on Newgrounds, and hell, even Imgur (before I quit that place, FUBD!), I was on DeviantArt. After the company completely went in on image generation "tools" ("Generative AI"), I was of a majority of users miffed, and left as a result. The following remains:

Now this is something I ESPECIALLY wanted for when I originally posted this. #pixelart #animation #animatedpixelart

Got a new #pixelart toy, threw one of my flag designs into the tool for shits and giggles, and it looks fucken epic Tool: devkidd.itch.io/wave-warp

Finally added grass mode to my tree generator, just to simplify my life 😅 #aseprite #pixelart #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Could not miss my chance to share this

I am HATING Poker Night's re-release so much. I ALMOST won Sasha from Heavy, and then the side bet, the FUCKING SIDE BET saves his ass, and then to add insult to injury, he loses it to Tycho the next hand!

So, I just got to replay Betty's Beer Bar after not touching it in over 15 years (Grandma bought me it when I was 3 lol). The game is great, but the difficulty curve kind of flattens out way too early.
