I Hope This Is A Series Because I Want To See More Of “Big Boss Is Bad At This”!

Looks like Tumblr compressed the hell out of this image for mobile, but this is one of the last bits of pixel art I worked on lately!

One of the trees from the Basalt Bluffs level.  I finished it this week, using Pixaki to get through a lot of the more tedious parts on my ipad.  I’m using a lot of bristlecone pines as a reference to get the ancient look for the trees, but I know, I know they’re from a different ecosystem entirely… And yes, it’s inspired by Evynd Earle!  

Oh my gosh these are hilarious

OMFG didn't know this was a real thing.

Few things in our game will ever be this glitchy again, so we have to savor these moments as they come.  I do think we’ll keep the banana gun, complete with non-lethal banana bullets. 

Here’s my submission to the 2017 MGS Secret Santa! Final Boss fight, Disney-style. Boop. (@kaxuhira) I’ve seen some really awesome MGS art so I’m a bit self-conscious.

I made an art/anatomy tutorial about birds! I hope people will find it helpful!

Just convinced this guy to join.  It was bound to happen eventually!

Oh my god, this is masterfully done pixel art.

Remember the promise...

A fun thing about computer skills is that as you have more of them, the number of computer problems you have doesn't go down.

This is because as a beginner, you have troubles because you don't have much knowledge.

But then you learn a bunch more, and now you've got the skills to do a bunch of stuff, so you run into a lot of problems because you're doing so much stuff, and only an expert could figure them out.

But then one day you are an expert. You can reprogram everything and build new hardware! You understand all the various layers of tech!

And your problems are now legendary. You are trying things no one else has ever tried. You Google them and get zero results, or at best one forum post from 1997. You discover bugs in the silicon of obscure processors. You crash your compiler. Your software gets cited in academic papers because you accidently discovered a new mathematical proof while trying to remote control a vibrator. You can't use the wifi on your main laptop because you wrote your own uefi implementation and Intel has a bug in their firmware that they haven't fixed yet, no matter how much you email them. You post on mastodon about your technical issue and the most common replies are names of psychiatric medications. You have written your own OS but there arent many programs for it because no one else understands how they have to write apps as a small federation of coroutine-based microservices. You ask for help and get Pagliacci'd, constantly.

But this is the natural of computer skills: as you know more, your problems don't get easier, they just get weirder.

Just best friends 🫶
