Here's my take on the new series Glitchtale Re_Told and some speculation based on the first episode.

Spoilers: it's pretty good and you should totally check it out. And the video. If you want.

Series created by: @saltypepperspice @mayday-mayjay and others.

This applies to writing also

[gemraldkid]

It's honestly an admirable trait, in some respects. Not getting caught up in perfectionist hell and actually putting something out there.

Found here.

I love this perspective through the ages.

Now that they have all made their appearances in the story as of Chapter 6, I can share the drawings I made of the three Ministers in my current Silksong fanfic, The Life You Saved.

It's a very slow-burn Lacenet fic that has barely even gotten started, really, but you can check it out here if you're interested!

Vita of course looking mad regal in the center. Very nice illustrations.

Also read this story it's peak.

First Dispatch playthrough

There is not a single statistic in this game that makes me prouder than this one. SUCK IT, Y'ALL.

I'm a competitive stick in the mud. And first try, too.

Who cares that I "failed as mentor" or "didn't keep a certain someone out of jail", really? plus that first one's pretty subjective

Anyway, good game. Do recommend.

FIRE EMBLEM NATION HOW ARE WE FEELING

[gemraldkid]

PRETTY GOOD DAWG

[gemraldkid]

Just in case

So, I haven't really felt the need to post any of my art before. But with Silksong coming out tomorrow, I'd like to put these out there now on the off chance that one its characters happens to resemble this OC in any way. Just a feeling.

Internet, meet Harriet the Puppeteer.

Say hi, Harriet.

What's that? You can't? 'Cause I never really gave you a definitive personality? Ah, well golly gee. Oh, and all of these are at least 3 years old. Could easily go back much further. I didn't draw much to start with and any semblance of a habit has faded away so far.

Still, she's quite precious to me.

Top Right: One of my favourites. Drew her in some winter dress I found online I think. Couldn't tell you which it was. Very cute. Sandals are asymmetrical, but eh. What are you gonna do? Thought to myself that I'd rather invert the position of the legs so that her feet are facing outward instead of inward, but oh well. It is what it is. Top Left: A bit bland, but it was a staple reference for me when drawing her. It's one of the first times I put her current design down to paper. Bottom Right: Don't like this one. The eyes are way too far apart. But this page also has the only attempt at a colour scheme I gave her. Not a huge fan of that either, honestly. Bottom Left: It's really nice, all things considered. A neat expression, there. Unfortunately, the arm's a bit too long on the right one, but eh. Also a rare example of the dark, polished wood skin I wanted to give her. It's an interesting effect, the black fill with a white outline. What's more is that this is some of the nicest hair I've drawn, at least on the left one. Has a real fluid quality to it.

guys

I feel like these two might might get along quite well. "Now we can enjoy a beautiful romantic subtext to the murder" is lowkey this guy's entire character.

Performages were robbed in the TCG/OCG

Here's Trapeze Witch's effect in the anime.

Not crazy, but not bad either, you know? Provides card effect destruction and targeting protection for all your dudes, can't be attacked while you have another Performage, and weakens monsters that attack your monsters. It's a fun card. A cool card. A perfectly neat card.

Now here's Trapeze Witch's effect in the actual game now that they've released the new wave of support.

Yeah, I get it. It works with Trapeze Magician's effect which lets a monster attack twice, but destroys it the battle phase.

...but you changed a good piece of blanket protection into a worse piece of blanket protection with a niche interaction that'll never happen.

Targeting protection is neat, but it doesn't quite hit the same when your guys can still all die to Raigeki... like mine did... before I realized what she actually does.

I might've forgiven this if they were just being faithful to the anime, but no. They deliberately went out of their way to make it worse.

And like... why??? Oh sure, as if Performages were gonna be too broken otherwise. In this game environment.

And considering how Konami almost never does an errata to make cards better? Things aren't looking too hot for Performage fans...

[gemraldkid]

Everyone shut up for a second.

I just found Gnosia's getting an anime. And that's pretty neat.

[collinnmckinley]

You have got to be FUCKING kidding me!! Holyshit bro... these motherfuckers are too comfortable with price increases...

[gemraldkid]

Yeah, these are my vibes, too.

One way or another, I'm getting Legends ZA. Though I might be settling with the base Switch version.

So just finished Danganronpa. Pretty good all around, but I just wanna say

So, I just updated Pokemon Rejuvenation to 13.5 and

YOU ARE LYING TO ME THIS IS NOT THE SAME GAME

NO WAY NO HOW

...

GOD IT'S BEAUTIFUL

In all seriousness, the screenshots don't do it justice. This thing runs like butter. B u t t e r, I say.

Little animated particle effects, maps that look like they've been completely overhauled, beautiful shading...

Very awesome, honestly. I gladly welcome this transition to the future.

say what you want about the switch 2 but leave my beautiful wife 3.5mm headphone jack out of it i’m so happy for her she deserves this moment <3

[gemraldkid]

HOLY SHI-

I didn't even register that.

Thank you, Nintendo, for not lowering your standards to the same level as Apple.

Made another video on this story. This time, it's an actual discussion. Pretty short, though. 9 minutes. Maybe I'll make a longer one in the future, but I'd like to move on to other topics.

For context, this person who goes by Vile.EXE/Taylor Gorrel wrote part of a fanfic that's basically a Season 2 of the show. I say "part of" because, like many fanfics, it remains incomplete to this day at "only" 8 chapters/episodes. Still, I think it's pretty good and worth your time.
