Green Arrows

and Kirby

fun fact, I’m actually a Kirby artist! Yus! But I also love Spark, a lot, actually

That's all, just wanted to say it, because I haven't talked much about myself here lol

If you were suddenly teleported into the world of the last video you game you played as a random background character, and had to survive for the next 24 hours before being teleported back out, how well do you think you'd do?

Easy peasy piece of cake

Pretty well

Mostly fine

Okay

Not well but still alive

Badly

oh I'm dying

Dying Immediately

Another answer (?)

I don't play video games

Voting ended onMar 3

Another look at various doodles... this time it's all Seam focused! The Spark 1 characters are always a little harder to pin down design wise due to limitations with the sprites but also just. The fact they all have thin noodle limbs.

I still find it hard to believe the original trio was wiped from existence entirely because they... weren't cool enough, I guess? When, for example, Seam's entire purpose was to appeal to a specific sort of 'edge'. But the fact they still let Romalo into the other games and ignore the three others has me floored

I'm new to the fandom hi I have thoughts

[flicktheseal]

Wanted to attempt style matching with some designs from a Look Outside AU me and my friends have been chipping away at… I’m not good at pixel art and started to lose steam but it was fun. Goob got a lot of design help from @aotuurle, Glisten designed by @realuity and Brightney by @probablyatrashcan

Funnily enough, all three of these guys are lucid. Even Iconic Bacteriophage Brightney

[not-avril]

The trope I appreciate very much

[springsgreenleaves]

Hey OP? I want you to know that this post changed my life. I have seen it three times now, and while life is still pretty hard, I have focused on increasing my calories and gaining some weight because you know what? You're right.

[probablyatrashcan]

Another one based on a group run where a savory charm clutched it

[probablyatrashcan]

Based on a run with some friends! Mine headcannons 5

[flicktheseal]

A handful more artfight refs for fellows from my reboot AU, including a certain someone who was suspiciously absent in the last post… I really like making the refs here be like, in-universe character concept sheets! Lobstro and Gillbert were concepted by my pal @probablyatrashcan. If you wanna attack any of these guys, my artfight is flicktheseal- and if anyone wants to ask about this reboot au… askbox is open!

As a fun little bonus here’s a blue Lobstro skin I concepted out for fun. Did you know lobsters are god’s most transgender animal

Remember when I told ya'll last month to be ready to start looking for a Discord alternative?

Yeah things aren't looking good for discord.

[the-bar-sinister]

#what is the alternative anyway

If you want a direct alternative there's Revolt, which is a free, open source discord clone.

Revolt is the chat app that's truly built with you in mind.

[the-bar-sinister]

Oh...

It's even worse than I thought.

[darker-than-darkstorm]

Time to go back to IRC.

[howtoimpersonateanadult]

I recommend Element; it's very similar to Discord and has basically the same features but it's privacy-focused and both servers and DMs can both be encrypted so only the actual users of those rooms can read the messages.

This means unlike most popular chat apps, including and especially Discord, Element doesn't sell your conversations or tracking data to advertisers, because the company literally doesn't have access to that data in the first place.

I've used it for years and I think it's a natural fit for Discord users.

[give-grian-rights]

sighs. saves for later

[wowbright]

If anyone is wondering why this is a reason to worry, the rumor is that Discord is looking to become a publicly traded company on the stock market. For (tech) companies, this usually means focus on improving (or even maintaining) the user experience is abandoned in favor of doing whatever the company thinks will result in short-term stock market gains, ie, enshittification.

Brace yourself for Discord to get worse: Reports swirl that the company is in talks with bankers about opening itself up to shareholders

Late capitalism, but make it quirky.
