Nova Storm @NovaSquirrel@computerfairi.es

@maple 🍆

It was really bugging me that there was no way to tell what's in a level slot in Nova the Squirrel without opening it first, so I added the ability to choose a name when saving to a slot.

@maple only the Wario series

I've got a picture in my mind of what a perfect "home community" would look like and I definitely think it would be somewhere that emphasized cuteness; I did that myself when I attempted to make that sort of community on Telegram, though private. Fluffy, adorable, cheery nice things.

I feel like I should go out and search for art communities based around cute wholesome things and lightheartedness, because bonding over making stuff sounds like a good idea

I ordered a SNES flashcart so now I can experience the magical feeling of code I wrote running on the real thing. It's going to take awhile to arrive though because of international shipping.

Going to be cool playing Kirby Super Star too.

I really want to get a picture of Maffi now that I have my first paycheck and I'm going to have to figure out what artist to go with. If anyone has any recommendations for that I'd love to hear them.

One thing I need to figure out is what her hair style should look like. I messed around with a fursona maker to decide colors and such, and I think what I picked out looks alright but it'd be nice to have a second opinion. (Also included my own attempts at copying it)

@behold3r that ought to be you

https://forums.nesdev.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=18658 the initial release of the SNES sequel to what I consider to be the best NES emulator (especially for development) was released today! Not a prank, it's been in development for weeks.

"Serving suggestions" are wild and I can tell that usually they're not anything like how you'd reasonably serve the product. Serve pineapple slices stacked on top of each other with no plate and with whole pineapples nearby so your guests know what they're eating, if it was unclear.

@LANthus I kind of got the impression from Unite! that it was some sort of recent new fad. Who knows how much time has passed since Unite! though since it's evidently been long enough for the map and clubhouse to completely change. Or maybe I'm reading into it too much. :p

The fact that Hamtaro suddenly loses all the words he's gathered in Ham-Hams Unite when his dictionary gets ruined implies he had been constantly referring to the dictionary to navigate any conversations and never actually learned the words.

I finished Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite! and I started on Ham-Ham Heartbreak. I actually never played this one but a lot of friends really like it.

I've gotta figure out if anyone will be able to hang out with me and room with me at IndyFurCon or if it'd just be another year where I'd just go to panels alone. If that's the case I might skip it in favor of another one I can guarantee hanging out at.

@maple @evie These are great and I really like your art style for these. Gives me an old computer feeling.

Turns out staying up late during the weekend as a reward to myself doesn't work super well because not giving myself enough sleep during the week catches up with me :p

@Dex Actually I have it backwards oops. GBA is 3.3 volts and GBC is 5 volts. In general there seems to be a shift to lower voltages in modern stuff?

@Dex Yeah on top of the pinout being used a little differently, GBC runs at 3.3 volts while GBA runs at 5 volts and that's one barrier.

@Austin_Dern Also definitely important to have a well-animated tail in squirrel-related media in general. Squirrel tails are important.

Here's her with a completely static dress lol
