Oh hey Nintendo is finally showing us more about Mario Tennis Fever-

JR RETURNS TO BEING OUT OF THE CLOWN CAR WE’RE SO BACK

[blushroom20]

As someone who has had a Bowser Jr. impression of my own for over 10 years...

The trailer feels off... Is this how people felt about the initial Chris Pratt Mario voice reveal?

I refuse to make a xitter account at this point but I need to say this:

Person on there with the Ultimate Mariachi OC you're fantastic; I just found your Teruteru birthday fanart from earlier this month (that I apparently missed when I checked before) and now going through your other stuff it's so adorable!!

in other news the astro bot thing should be soon-ish trust me (if anyone is here from the teruteru tag he's in that btw)

I find this number hard to believe

BluShroom20 rambles about her Left 4 Dead 2 modding, since the game is still being pulped by exploits

Technically this could be Modded L4D2 Team doodles 2.5

The Left 4 Dead 1 Survivors don't get much of my attention in my L4D2 modding shenanigans for a few reasons. The character choices changing around a lot more being one of them.

Zoey is Inkling Girl because I'm a longtime Bowser Jr./Inkling shipper and that goes along with the Zoey/Ellis dynamic. Long ago I brainstormed a fanfic idea and everything, but it never went anywhere. She doesn't have a proper portrait though, which is one of the big reasons I want to make my own portrait mod someday.

AkiRen's spot was based on the fact I originally used a full Persona 5 survivor pack to get Akechi over Nick, and that's the spot he was in. This is noticeable in old videos/screenshots of the group, where you can still see the portraits of the other Persona 5 characters.

Eventually he was moved from Bill to Louis in order to make room for Peppino. Prior to the move, I had the TF2 Medic over Louis. I do miss having the TF2 Medic; the modmaker going out of the way to give each mercenary specific cosmetics to better match the survivors they went over was a nice touch.

Francis was a tricky one. For a decent chunk of time I had Black Frost over him, as a reference to it being one of RTGame's signature Personas in his playthrough of P5R. Eventually I wanted to add a bit of "realism" to the cast and landed on the idea of Lance from Epic Battle Fantasy. He fits the "hating nearly everything role" so why not.

Just like how I don't exactly have a model or modding expertise to insert myself over Rochelle and use Alyx Vance instead, Lance's stand in is currently a Lethal Company employee. Lance from Pokémon would have been a similar "same name, vaguely similar appearance" moment but he's not there last I checked.

Before Lethal Company, I did temporarily replace Francis with Sho Minazuki from Persona 4 Arena. Fun Fact: He shares English voice actors with Teruteru Hanamura (Todd Haberkorn)! I found this out while working on my Teru voice modding and thought having two characters voiced by the same person would be funny.

Outside the game, I have made drawings that attempt to blend some personal tweaks mixed with the survivors they replace. These range from simple things like Akechi having his gloves and striped tie, to giving other custom designs to the outfits (mainly done with Bowser Jr.). The L4D1 cast didn't get as much thought put into theirs.

I felt weird drawing Lance sleeveless since he doesn't exactly have arms full of tattoos like Francis, so I gave him the red jacket he wears in EBF5's epilogues (which is likely just the Casual Shirt/what he wore in Brawl Royale but redesigned).

I've yet to dress up Lance as a Lethal Company employee to match how I sometimes drew myself as Alyx Vance, but that might come someday.

Also shout out to @candymagnolia drawing Bill Peppino

Oct 13 2024: Updated post with a bit more detail and more mod links :)

I'll never get over the fact that this is one of my most viewed pieces of ""artwork"" on Steam.

I just double checked and actual art I made for this game is higher so that's good

but still... It's all soup why is it all soup

Posted this yesterday on my YT Community Page but figured I post (an updated version) here too:

While I haven't personally played the game in years, Team Fortress 2 is still very important to me. I made many fun memories with friends and it's the reason I made my Steam account to begin with back in 2012 (Hell I knew about TF2 even before then because of Gmod animations and Flipnote Hatena).

The bot crisis, taking the form of perfect aim, spinning snipers who impersonate the usernames of others and get real players kicked has been going on for years now. It has really destroyed any thought of revisiting the game, but also making it harder for new players to start playing today.

The community has been strong for over a decade, as seen in many animations and the like still featuring the characters from this old game. People still care about this game from 2007. Most of Valve's games have this longevity because of the community, but the games themselves have been deteriorating because of bad actors.

There is a petition on save.tf that people are signing to try and show Valve they're tired of this bot crisis. The site has been attacked by DDOS attempts (probably from the malicious bot hosters) but is still standing strong. Additionally, people are review bombing TF2 on Steam in a similar fashion to how people did to Helldivers 2 when they were trying to enforce PSN accounts. The more attention this gets, the more media coverage it'll get and hopefully get Valve to finally do something.
