hello patchy

I've been trying to change my profile banner, but I keep getting this error message

let's say i was hypothetically going to make a little mod to make myself less rusty with asm and tsc, which concept sounds the best? puzzle, platforming, regular 2d cave story gameplay, another hullet bell but better, or ..?

After a while of thinking, I think it would be best if I put Project Ampersand on an indefinite hold.
I'm doing this because my current conditions make it difficult for progress to be made.
I'm not very good with TSC. I'm only passable at making maps. I have to rely on someone else to edit the source code. I have to rely on other people to create artwork/sprites because I can't draw, and the artists are never able to finish anything for the mod. And the only thing I'm actually really good at is music.
For so long, I really didn't want to put Project Ampersand on hold because I wanted people to have hope for it, and I didn't want it to end up like other abandoned/cancelled mods. Now I've realized that I should, given the conditions I stated.
While Project Ampersand is on hold, I will participate in modfests more often, and use the mods I make during those modfests as practice.
I will try to practice drawing, as well as maybe learning how to use a game engine like Unity or Godot or something. I'll also put more time into learning Japanese, but I don't know if that's really on topic.
I've been procrastinating for so long, and I have only three years left until I'm an adult. I need to become more skilled at these things, so I can be successful in doing the things I want to do, and to quell the pain of this mid life crisis.
Along side that, starting today, I will no longer be known as Extra Life. Starting today, I will now be known as...

i will be getting a CRT TV this weekend hopefully (ultimate gamecube gaming coming soon............)

i am a serious sprite artist :]

also, i've started a new job which has taken up a lot of my energy - plus getting my hands on a copy of legends: arceus and the impending release of the new kirby game... i'm gonna be distracted for a while, aren't i...

oh well, i'll cycle back around to fixating on modding soon enough, i have something i wanna get out for april fools at least!

I've been tempted to get a rabbit as a pet and giving it some cave story related name but idk yet maybe i should finish my next video first

One endless loop can destroy a lot more than I thought.

Hello Shizi!

Opera GX is a navigator for gamers

i love the nintendo wii so much!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but today is the forums' birthday, right?

I really need to stop goofing off and work on Terminus, hopefully finish the first sector before the end of December.
(But I wanna play more games instead… T_T )

There's too much untapped potential with out of bounds flags, I should get to researching the more out there stuff.

had a dream that @HaydenStudios replied to the latest theory thread with a super-long reply that probably wouldn't fit within the board limits
and also that there was somebody that had issues with overheating PC while running cavestory with RTX 2010 (or 1200?), apparently the PC wasn't getting enough power, as deduced by magicdoors
what is wrong with my head

Sugoma balls

I'm gonna be super super busy the rest of this month but once we reach April 2nd can y'all remind me (aka harass me) to start finishing mods and posting them here again. Litterally sitting on a dozen tiny little fellas made from 2017-2021 just needing some finishing touches and a thread(s) to call home.

Updated Episode 5,
This should fix the annoying softlocks.

now that i think about it cave story's leveling system is absolutely brilliant
a lot of the time you tend to skip past enemies in games but cave story encourages you to actually fight them
even if you're at level 3 maxed out you still fight the enemies because of muscle memory and the collecting noise being really pleasant to hear

Blackouts are a pain.
