This month, I'll be making one pixel art doodle per day for #Inktober. I've never participated in one of these challenges before... and I could definitely use the practice. I'll be posting them as replies in this thread, to try and keep things tidy. 🧵

I fully completed Gentoo Rescue (all puzzles, all Steam achievements, and 100% in-game completion), after 61 streams. Thank you for all of your support. 🙇🏻‍♀️ Tuesdays will still be Gentoosdays in my mind for some time yet. Perhaps others will carry on this fine tradition? 🐧

It's bittersweet to see the final Gentoosday stream from Fyda. She's been doing Gentoo streams on most Tuesdays for over a year. She's already completed all puzzles and all Steam achievements, but has one final challenge remaining: www.twitch.tv/fydatech #puzzlegame #indiegamedev

I greatly enjoyed my time with this game and have been looking forward to this soundtrack release! If a peaceful, knowledge-gated metroidvania about exploring a vibrant world, scanning wildlife for dex entries, and solving cryptic mysteries sounds interesting to you, check out EMUUROM.

I finished Mysteries of Old Tokyo last night and loved it. I'm reading its 1990s-style manual so that I can stay immersed in its charming world for just a bit longer. If you enjoy falling down rabbit holes on wikis and amassing all sorts of knowledge just because IT'S NEAT(!), check it out.

This bassline wasn't leaving me alone, so I exorcised it. Now, I fling "Tangent Shuffle" into the void and walk away (back to sleep). www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Zq9... #chiptune

That idea from 2 weeks ago morphed into this track, which I finally finished tonight. "Splintered Fortress" could be described as a rapid journey through the stages of an NES game that never existed. What kind of game would this be? www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ9f... #chiptune

Of course, the moment I need to go outside for a few hours is the moment my brain starts composing a chiptune in 6/4 time with metal riffs. Will I even remember it when I get back? Walking past a cacophony of street-level stores with music blasting from them makes this a little challenging. 😅

Partway through making this, I also decided to make the track "symmetrical" in terms of the time signatures it transitions through and the duration of each section. I doubt this actually makes it better, but I wanted to do it anyway.

This may be a long shot, but with Summerchin starting in about a month, I wonder how much closer to 2K followers on Twitch we can get before the event. If there is such a thing as "long-form streams" that try to be thorough and hopefully also cozy...I suppose this is what I'm aiming for at least.

Ugh, this is actually sickening. I found out that a website used my voice to create an AI voice soundboard thing where people can generate words using the likeness of my voice. They linked it to my twitch. I found that other people are on here too. I submit a takedown request, but this is so gross
