“aw man i just got shot” - me if i got shot

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

Y'all mind if a big guy goes a little bananas this evening? #donkeykongbananza #art

Take a minute to appreciate the absolutely immaculate background artwork from WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT.

If your art style doesn't look completely different from page 1 to 100 is it truly a webcomic

obviously the bonuses and vacation is more than important, but i love the trend of publishers giving full on consoles as a bonuses, yes its all business, but it really shows that they really are thankful for the work theyre doing and wish them well

People outside the games industry don't grasp that this is absolutely unheard of. Workers don't get royalties, and we definitely don't get performance bonuses. When we make a hit game we sometimes just get laid off

LRP: Oh look it's my voice claim for Grubba.

Grubba is rapidly approaching your location.

Abandoned, with a heart cracked with hatred... #Deltarune #fanart #art

Everyone is discussing Donkey Kong and the notion of “Donkey Kong lore” lately. Don’t be afraid. You’ve taken your first step into a larger world. Yes, Donkey Kong has a wonderfully rich mythology. Allow us to guide you. First, Diddy Kong Racing and how DK is (still) part of Rare’s shared universe!

Listen, I understand that old Namco arcade franchises aren't gonna get new prestige AAA titles but uh Can we do better than "mobile game that's available for two weeks" please?

All Internet culture as we know it stems from its original primordial purpose: to argue about which Gundam series and Final Fantasy games are good or not instead of talking about basically anything else.

Update on the Shiny Lickilicky hunt:

new shirt #myart #deltarune #lancer

Opened twitter for the first time in months to see a bunch of artists moved back there from here because they weren’t getting enough “engagement” or whatever and after scrolling for like 2 minutes I saw more hate and troll comments than I’ve ever seen in my entire time of using bsky.

While the screenshots in the article look a little fake (but I'd love to be wrong!), I do appreciate that Willie Wumpa Cheeks is in one of them because he's the number one character I wanted in CTRNF.

Update on the Shiny Lickilicky hunt:

In Japan he isn’t called donkey kong, he’s called rock man. That’s why the new game is all about rocks.

According to my Pokedex, I have caught 173 Lickitung with no shiny. This is vile. This is evil. And on my birthday!

At the end of the day, I'd much rather read a several paragraph essay on why the Legions of Stationary from Paper Mario: The Origami King are varied, nuanced expressions on the power of creativity than a snide post about how, actually, no one should really care about Mario lore, that's stupid.

I'm at the point where I find all the "How can you take *Donkey Kong* lore seriously, that's so stupid, it's a dumb monkey game!" posts way more obnoxious than people wondering if we'll ever see a new appearance of Cranky Kong's dead wife Wrinkly in the new Switch 2 game.

I played chapters 1+2 a few years ago so here's some couple years old art of King lol #deltarune

A few animals and an egg man

ah it's the game about a monkey and a girl that everyone is talking about
