Real talk, though, because it needs to be said: as much as we all joke that porn was the only good thing this place had left, the reality is that it being the only place where one could regularly engage with and promote sexual content being gone is really not understanding at all what makes this place special. I mean we all joke about “horny on main” and all that, but the reality is that for a lot of the LGTBQ+ community, particularly younger members still discovering themselves and members in extremely homophobic environments where most media sites were banned (but Tumblr wasn’t even considered important enough to be), this was a bastion of information and self-expression. For a lot of artists too, this was a great place to come and post NSFW work and get traction that became Patreon pages that became honest jobs. The problem with “family friendly” social media is that more often than not, the ones hit the most by the whole family friendly nonsense are marginalized groups that have no vehicles to express themselves. Stuff like YouTube consistently bans or flags simple content featuring something as innocuous as two men kissing as “adult” content and makes it hard for LGBTQ+ content creators to compete with their non-queer peers for a lot of those reasons. The ultimate problem isn’t even that banning of NSFW content, it’s the general mess surrounding it and unintended consequences to these groups. For MONTHS Tumblr has had a huge problem with porn spam bots and outright child pornography, and for MONTHS the majority of the userbase has been in general consensus that both of these things needed to stop. Tumblr did NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. When Apple finally removed their app from the store, SPECIFICALLY because of the child pornography, Tumblr decided to do what any rich corporation owning a social media site with zero understanding of what makes it popular would do, and decided that the best course of action was to eat itself like an Ouroboros. Rather than admit that they have done an absolutely shit job at keeping pedophiles off this website and rather than hiring the necessary staff to carefully moderate content, they decided to loose a poorly programmed bot that literally deleted perfectly SFW blogs with thousands of followers, and rather than properly handling moderation, they decided that it was best to simply go the lazy route and block anything even remotely NSFW. They run this site in the worst way possible, and I don’t understand how @support or @staff or their completely oblivious “CEO” plans to keep this sinking ship alive.

Development: Earthbound

Earthbound backgrounds are drawn using either one or two layers. In the following example, I’ll be talking about Starman’s background, which uses two layers.

BG3 layer is used as the base, with a tilemap consisting of a pattern of circles that changes colour every 60-frames. The wavy motion is done using a simple sine pattern raster effect, pretty standard stuff here so I won’t dive into it further. The more interesting scanline effect is potentially done by using HDMA to sample the tilemap image in two different spots, giving the illusion that there are two autonomous images, separated by each scanline.

BG4 layer is displayed overtop BG3, with a nifty static square-and-triangle tilemap. Unlike the previous layer, this one does not change it’s palette and only uses a simple raster effect, so again, pretty standard stuff.

The resulting effect of mixing these two layers is the beautiful and groovy backgrounds that have become a staple in the Mother series.

As I was looking through the VRAM for Dokapon?! Millennium Quest, I noticed something peculiar. There are two sets of art for a lot of the monsters. Both assets are the same, except the shading on each is unique, usually with more tones for the skin.

I was really confused at first, but then I remembered that Zelda DX had different art assets for when the game would run in either Game Boy or Game Boy Color mode. I decided to look into whether that was the case for Dokapon?! Millennium Quest, and sure enough, the art assets are indeed different when the game is run in each console.

It’s one thing to have unique assets that fix inconsistencies with how palettes are handled, which is also the case with this game, but to edit the shading as well is incredible.
