Nova Storm @NovaSquirrel@computerfairi.es

I doodled this, loosely based on the in-game player sprite (quarupled in size and redrawn, then doubled and redrawn again) and I think it could look okay if I somehow made the hair look way better. Any tips for doing that?

I'm doodling to try and see if I can draw a title screen that looks more female and that I like better, and it's hard. Right now I'm seeing what I can do with scaled up versions of pixel art I've drawn that I like.

I like visiting my dad especially since it's a good opportunity to get out of the house, but being almost the only person there who can eat gluten messes things up.

Their food is expensive so I'm usually left out of meals and have to cook my own stuff, can't use the toaster, and usually there's not room for groceries for me because the stuff that's not for me takes up most of the space already. I used to have a freezer shelf but it's since been mostly taken over most times I visit.

Play Gruniożerca 3! Gruniożerca 2 was my favorite game from last year's nesdev compo and now it has a sequel and it's still super adorable and polished and full of guinea pigs solving puzzles

Went outside for the first time in a few days since the temperatures are no longer life-threatening and there was trash that had to be taken out

I kinda want to make a bunch of smaller, spinoff Nova games and/or possibly come up with some other characters for a shared universe. Definitely no more 3 year projects for now, but Squirrel Domino was really fun to do and I wanna keep at it.

I think this is my continuous desire to worldbuild intersecting with how good it feels to do game development.

You can, in fact, have a chain of people following other people and form a little RPG party if you want to though it doesn't happen automatically if multiple people follow one person

Tilemap Town now supports allowing another user to follow you with a /followme

I have a few problems that seem inescapable and that have bothered me either throughout my whole life or just for a very long time, and I feel like all I can do is distract myself and pretend things are fine while just hoping things turn around someday, waiting year after year while nothing changes. All of them are things that require cooperation from other people and I always get the same suggestions that I've already tried every time and it's just a tiring thing overall.

I really need to get the discipline to take breaks from things when it would benefit me to do so. There's definitely room for something in-between going somewhere every day and never wanting to touch a community again.

I love how expressive the save icons for PlayStation 1 and 2 games are. On 1 they're often actually animated, and on 2 they're entire 3D models with animations and sometimes even a special animation displayed on the delete confirmation screen, that you're rarely going to be looking at but someone still took the time to make it.

Apparently my application to Kroger has been sitting incomplete for awhile because their website requires me to claim I am not older than 14. 15, 16, 18, or 19 but I am in fact still older than 21 despite that not being how math works. Oh well, I definitely would have refused to work in today's weather so that's alright that there wasn't a chance of me getting hired earlier.

It's actually warmer than expected? That's nice, though it's still below zero.

I wanted to make my Dr. Mario clone cuter and more on-theme, so have some pawprints. Possibly done and ready for entering into the compo? The deadline is very soon and I can't really think of anything that needs added. http://forums.nesdev.com/viewtopic.php?p=233210#p233210 #nesdev

Turned on a heater for the first time all winter because if I ever needed it I really need it tonight. We never took the air conditioner out of my room sooo there will probably be -21°F air flowing into my room through it and that doesn't sound nice.

I hope I end up seeing more from the commission I'm trying to get soon since it's been about three weeks since the last sketch I got.

There's his pretty awful meal my mom used to make when she lived with us that's basically just noodles with tons of butter on them, and is probably completely unhealthy, and my brother decided to make it for his dinner tonight hahahaha.

He doesn't like pasta sauce though so that's probably why.

Now weather.gov has a big "Very Dangerous and Life-Threatening Arctic Air Mass Expected This Week" at the top so I don't think anything is going to convince me to leave the house until it's over

Looks like I'm getting a lot of scam email preying on job seekers by trying to make them accomplices in crime
