@Laroka I'm thankful for you too, cutie panda.

Cat kept walking around my Sega Genesis and she keeps looking at it.

I just saw the "supernets" IRC spam use an ASCII-art QR code as part of the spam (that apparently actually works). I guess this is the future.

I get to see my sister for the first time in ages due to Thanksgiving and she's talking about how awful my mom's husband is for being transphobic and homophobic. I'm glad I have some actually good family members that treat that as a problem.

Slowly starting out on a draft about unused/underused Nova the Squirrel features/mechanics and things that turned out differently than I originally planned, and there's a lot so it's going to take awhile to organize.

I wonder if the .blackfriday TLD exists mostly to make http://rebecca.blackfriday work

Maybe I should write about the unused content in Nova the Squirrel, since that sounds more fun than actually taking anything out. A retrospective on my original vision for things that ended up going different.

I'm putting together a list of fictional characters categorized by who I would kiss, who I would kiss a lot, and who I would just hug.

Someone just followed me on Twitter with no tweets and a very bizarre, very small following list that's just homebrew related people and then Trump and Ann Coulter for some reason.

It's getting cold enough here that it's pretty hard to get out of bed because it's just so warm.

@maple Yeah contrast feels like a potential problem here and definitely something I should factor into my color choices. I like the colorful outline thing but it seems tricky to combine with shading.

I care a lot about how my art looks on a CRT (and I tested Nova the Squirrel on a real NES and CRT frequently) but don't have a way to quickly check for non-NES stuff right now, so that would actually help if you could look.

@wolfcoder You mean make the difference between the different shades of a given hue less linear? I'm used to picking colors from the NES palette, so actually having freedom in picking arbitrary colors and still making it work is something I'll have to figure out and learn.

Fixed the direction of the shading to make a bit more sense based on feedback.

Don't 100% know what I'm doing with shading but I'm going to attempt it and I guess I'll just have to be unafraid to make mistakes and improve.

Probably should try to draw more than just myself too. Back when I was practicing NES graphics I doodled a bunch of friends and it was fun trying to reduce other friends' characters down to something that works in 3 colors.

Playing with more colors and bigger sprites, and taking baby-steps towards SNES-style stuff. NES is a lot easier with its harsher limitations.

I want to learn how to draw SNES-level pixel art well. Guess I should practice using more colors and drawing bigger.

@maple I don't think I've talked to him for years, and I don't think he kept in contact either. One of my projects originally started out with the intention of being an nD launch title.

For some reason I like leaving redstone videos on in the background and I think I just like listening to funny terminology you don't hear anywhere else being said over and over.
