i dunno how many people were aware, but i had a handful of in-character alt accounts for my OCs. i never got around to using them much, but it was a fun way to explore getting into a few different headspaces, and made me a bit more comfortable with switching characters over on my Twitch streams (did you know i have a channel point reward for that?)

i don't think any other sites really made it this easy to just create what is essentially an alternate account in a few steps without having to go through the whole signup process again (and hoping the site doesn't have protections against creating multiple accounts). it's just one of many things that made this site really cozy and comfy to use, and i'm going to miss it dearly.

i had a sudden urge to draw an "extremely casual" Rachel, wearing something closer to what i'd wear irl. it feels like it's been a whole-ass age since i had the energy to draw anything

i got bored and decided to see how faithfully i could recreate this recent pixel art on a real NES. i had to remove a lot of colors and make a few tweaks to work around the console's extremely restrictive palette and nametable limitations, but overall i'm surprised at how well it turned out! this is using all eight palettes, all 64 sprites, and 254 out of the 256 available background tiles (i scrounged up an extra two tiles after putting together the final ROM last night, lmao).

the left shot is from FCEUX, and the right one is captured from my AV Famicom using a Framemeister! the NTSC artifacting kinda screws with some of the finer details in a still shot, but it actually looks much better in "motion" (displaying both artifact patterns on alternate frames).
