I can't believe it's been almost three years since I last updated Meta & Nilla's refs. Which is exactly what I said the last time I updated them! I guess now it's just a thing I do every three years.
Visual character reference sheet for Meta & Nilla, featuring color palettes and character bios. Meta was a gangly nerd in high school and still kind of sees himself that way, despite his new broad shoulders and square jaw and chiseled abs. He can be a bit dim, but his love for Nilla shines through even his dark sunglasses. And rest assured, he's still a nerd. Nilla was a shy, reclusive nerd in high school, but has tried to reinvent herself as an adult. She's still a little too anxious and introverted to fully pull off the feisty punk-rock thing she's going for, but that hasn't stopped her trying.

I play my PS5 on a 1080p monitor two feet away from my face, all the fuss about how ugly Rebirth's performance mode was is the most any gamer discourse has ever sounded like gigashits and teraflops to me

NES Peach resprite instructions unclear, somehow ended up with Miriel instead
The original 8-bit sprite of Princess Peach from NES Super Mario Bros., standing next to a sprite of Miriel from Fire Emblem Awakening. Miriel is in a different art style but uses the same three colors of white, yellow and red as the Peach sprite.

I haven’t updated my Twitter app since even before Elon took over. Search doesn’t work at all. If someone uses more than 240 characters, it only displays the first chunk with a clickable link to the rest. So, anyone who’s paid for the check and hidden it: I know what you did.

people who say Astro Bot is a 20-hour game clearly aren't spending 30 seconds making the controller dance every time they rescue a bot or repair the ship, running around slapping bots in the hub world or taking 15 minutes to see if you can break every sconce in the cave (you can)

Astro Bot could have easily been my game of the year if it didn’t happen to release in the same year as FFVII Rebirth. and, frankly, Astro’s Playroom could have easily been my game of the year in 2020 if it didn’t happen to release in the same year as FFVII Remake

I don't know if I love what it says about me that there's no way I'm not going to be sobbing watching Sonic and Shadow go super together on the big screen as Live and Learn starts blaring

such a tiny thing but I love they way they revealed both of these recent Capcom collections. if you know the games, the announcer saying "This one's gonna take you for a ride" and "This is gonna be a match to remember" sets the hype before even a millisecond of gameplay is shown

Capcom vs SNK and Power Stone in the same collection is too powerful

I do think it’s sort of weird to include the sequel to Rival Schools and the sequel to Star Gladiator without including Rival Schools or Star Gladiator but I mean, damn, still, what a collection
