I watched Sheep in the Big City a couple of years ago, and I enjoyed it, it was pretty entertaining and very funny. It's up there with The Amazing World of Gumball as one of the funniest shows I've seen.

here is the list of all commands i taught to my 3DS nintendog Chimichang (some are in russian which i translated for you personally): -Sit -bts otstoy ("bts sucks") -amogus -dead -fuckindead -tornado -покажипузо (showbelly) -donkey -кусь (bite) -please -homo sapns -муха (fly) -Zsnes -бомж (bum)

As much as I like Rune Factory 4, going for all achievements is the least enjoyable experience I had, it's definitely better played as you please. Having to drop every. single. stack of lumber or material stone for barns is agonizing. Good on Rune Factory 5 for giving an option to dump all at once.

Shantae: Half-Genie Hero inspired Valentine's drawing i made a thousand years ago, specifically in 2018.

I drew this for Rune Factory's 15th Anniversary (in 2021). It may not be the best, but at least i tried 🙂

This drawing was inspired by Mighty Switch Force 2.

The first programming language i learned was PascalABC.NET, it's commonly taught in russia. It's fun and I do feel a bit nostalgic for it, but I doubt I'll be coming back to and using it any time soon. Python is my new best friend.

When I say games like Genshin Impact look like they might be fun, it's not saying much. Because I say that for pretty much any game that looks even remotely interesting or something I could play, which includes, but not limited to, Bee Movie Game.

I think I made my mind and will make the "Disassembly Month" I talked about earlier be in May. I will dedicate myself quickly and sloppily putting together two NES game disassemblies and hopefully one Game Boy one. I have not made a Game Boy game disassembly before, so that's gonna be interesting.

B*$%h! (affectionately)

does this count as a liminal space? even if not, it is some kind of space.

the save file for my cursor game will be just 4 bytes long. dont need a lot of information, just all level beaten bits and options bits. efficiency!

woah! I am a gamer! I made a 3DS games ranking. Which serves as a reminder that i have shit taste and think The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (3D) is just okay.

After doing GBA and GB+GBC tierlist rankings, the next logical step is a ranking of Nintendo Switch games. Of course!

Even though I like mice and my totally original character Russ is the mouse man, the only rodent pets we had were hamsters. Here's a bed time story for you - we even had hamster babies! We typically bought males, but unintentionally once we had a female who gave a few offsprings.

oops! i'll have to be a patient boy for 6 more days, Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma comes out on june 5th now. a little more wait didnt kill anyone i'm sure

I am making a real, genuine, honest to goodness video game! It's about guiding Mousey the Mouse Cursor through dangerous levels.

I am: -Gamer -Speedrunner -Game Developer -Dataminer -Romhacker -Unprofessional reviewer -On hitlist by pineapple pizza haters I'd say, I had a pretty successful career so far.

I found a perfect way to annihilate my [insert number] followers. Ahem...... I LIKE PINEAPPLE PIZZA! PINEAPPLE PIZZA GOOD!!! ME LIKE PEAR PIZZA! YUMMY!!! And to add an insult to injury, here are photos of pizzas in question. Ouch! That's gotta hurt!

people should play more bad or mediocre games to refine taste and get an idea of what a bad game really is. maybe you'll get an appreciation for games that you thought were bad before, because the bar can always be lower. and maybe you'll find something positive about these games.

Got the game to load a level via a Tiled map and entity spawning. That means I can get to level design soon enough.

I recently got a new game idea, and I'm totally gonna make it. It'll be about navigating the Mouse cursor through hazardous levels. hashtag game dev, pyxel, et cetera

Wow! I actually did it! I released my first ever video game if you consider visual novels video games. Using Pyxel and the visual novel system i developed myself for fun, I present to you... a short VN about kids playing in the snow. cool? cool. russianmansmwc.itch.io/wintersnowki...

Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse for SNES is one of the rare cartridge-based games with loading times. That's right, it has loading screens unlike Genesis original. I wonder if it's possible to remove or shorten them with clever hacking. That'd be an interesting challenge.

Here's an obscure fact - I made a mod for an equally obscure LandTraveller on Steam. Unfortunately, its' modding API is quite limited, so you can't go crazy with it like adding new items. You can bet your ass cheeks I would've added some explosive fun if I could. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/...

I couldn't get enough of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, so I turned to romhacks. Been playing Super Koopa RPG: Here Comes the Koopa Bros.! and I'm liking it. IDK how advanced SMRPG hacking is, but I am impressed. New cutscenes, fun story, unique battle scripts and new janky graphics.

if you wanna know my shit opinions, these are beloved games that i don't care for (not bad but not great, just ok): Half-Life (Half-Life 2 better) Super Mario 64 (Super Mario 64 DS better) LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga (later lego games better) The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (???)
