It's Critter Time!

Sure why not, a separate thread would be excessive & it’s backwards compatible.

It’s bliss

You're great at this!

I got the motivation to revisit one of the more important songs for my game. The original was kinda rough, in retrospect.

Trials of Mana (SNES) and Chrono Trigger both stick out to me as games with an amazing visual style. Such amazing pixel art.

Well my secret plan for this thread worked, I’ve got lots more prog rock to listen to

Sounds like you’ve listened to more of and more recent prog rock than me The other big act I know is Genesis, which is where Phil Collins got his start. I haven’t listened to them much but I’d start with A Trick of the Tail maybe.

Hi hello I like progressive rock a lot. My favorite acts are Yes and Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Some standout tracks:

Yes - Roundabout - You’ll know this from the Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure anime. Good driving song, I love the bass line.

Yes - South Side of the Sky - harsher and darker song from the ...

Oh yeah, those mini laptops by GPD are super tempting, I really want to get one and put Linux on it. Hard to justify the cost right now though.

I have 3 Macs still but 2 of them are display pieces. A graphite clamshell iBook and a Mac SE/30. The first one has a bad screen and the second came to me as a Simasimac, and I made it completely die trying to replace the caps. They're both in really good cosmetic shape though.

The "good" one is a ...

Oh I should mention the font I use for the game is one I made myself, it's called Encounter VC. It's inspired by Handel Gothic. It's licensed under the SIL Open Font License so you can do whatever you want with it.

I regularly juggle between many computers, but NetBSD/amd64 drives my nerdy/geeky Unix box. I wish I could do 100% of my computer activities with it. And it's no surprise, since I'm a NetBSD and pkgsrc developer.

NetBSD! I have a major soft spot for this ...

I am stuck on Windows 11 due to my choice of audio production ecosystem. I dabble with Linux but it's not my daily driver.

Before smartphones I was a real big PDA/palmtop computer user. I started with an old iPAQ that quickly bit the dust, then I moved up to a Sharp Zaurus SL-5500. It was a portrait form factor PDA with a slide out keyboard, and it ran Linux natively. It was pretty ...

It is incumbent on me to plug Skaven (Peter Hajba) here I think. His music inspired me to start making stuff with Impulse Tracker and later Modplug Tracker many many years back. (then I stopped making music for 20 years and only just got back to it)

Hey it's my fursona, Silver. Well one of them. They're a hybrid red panda/silver fox.

This is Fei. She's just a normal red panda, but she trims her tail like that.

I sort of switch off between the two. I've got more art but a ...

Also I have a fair bit of knowledge about hacking/programming on the DS, but I'm not sure how to organize it.

Oh yeah, Kirby Superstar Ultra had a fun take on Download Play where you could play 2-player, but you had to share the same screen.

There's also Metroid Prime Pinball, which came with a Rumble Pak for Slot 2.

I've had the pleasure of going to the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas a few times now. They have a looooot of tables. Unfortunately BK2K has been broken every time I've been there (just bad luck apparently).
