Elfi, known bug enjoyer @elfi@pixie.town

Pixel-overs (1st image) of my old Not-Metroid project graphics (2nd image), done in Deluxe Paint some years before Super Metroid, so maybe 93 or earlier.
8 colours made the game blit faster and use less memory per screen.
I did some quite excessive blacklining, but dither is kind of functional. I used, and still use a muddy blue as BG when pixling. However, I didn't realize at the time that Bobs can use all 8 colours, so I played around a bit with an that. A dark gray or purple works.

I can't move to the Fediverse properly until I reproduce my famous pinned post from the birdsite, so here it is:

P.S.A. To all vintage computer and video game collectors:

Go through your collections and GET THE DAMN BATTERIES OUT!

Now! Don't wait! Seriously, put down the phone, go to your collection and take out all the batteries. Right now! Even if they look "okay" they are NOT SAFE after this much time.

The long bridge. Had to break it in two to fit it in a toot friendly format.

Remember. Your first draft will be rough. Coarse and unsubtle, full of cumbersome wordings, typos, clichéed writing, and random mistakes. It will likely make you cringe to re-read.

And that’s fine.

We do not give up on cooking a meal just because the ingredients are raw when we start.

Your community is only as good as the worst behavior it tolerates.

That's it. That's the... toot.

I made this one with two clothespins, two plastic caps, wire and beads, covered it with a white undercoat then painted it. It's inspired by the amazing work of @ArtFromRachel.
(Also it's a functional mini flower pot!)

We can make the fediverse safer tomorrow. Technology is not the problem.

The problem is people that bigots don't target want to make decisions for the people that are and demonize said targets when they suggest something that doesn't agree with their myopia.

LGBTQ!+, Brown folks, Indigenous, and Black folks have been saying the same things over and over and over and over again.

Most of the people building software are just refusing to listen.
