#stone patterns

[sl33py-g4m3r]

more patterns and giving hard mode a go again after nuking my last one cause idk

some patterns and town tunes that I made (one tune not tho maybe~~?) proud of the paths cause they're simple but look a lot better than when I first started messing with pixel art~~

probably still not the best tho~~~

proud of the flower flag~~~ and the walkways too~~~ simple but doesn't look all that bad I think~~~

semi transparent ones so I can see them to remove them later, bricks, and a flag~~

I think this last one was the default tune for Doubutsu no Mori E+ (?) I liked it so I'll usually go back to that one~~

can ya guess what my inspiration for these tunes is~~? tho some of the songs don't work as they're too fast paced~~ is a cartoon I've come to like~~~ idk why I like it, unless just because cartoon~~~ *shrug* it made me want to learn the language that it's in too~~~~ :)

also~~~ sadly flattened nectarlake and then didn't know what to do with it afterwards, started a project for an entrance, got too overwhelmed with it, and then started a new hardcore mode run~~

hopefully I won't do that this time~~

especially since I've been playing for 10 days and I had over half the fish and bugs caught by day 5~~ lol

chronic game restart syndeome~~~

So~~~ Welcome to my second attempt at a hardcore challenge~~

my beaches and a swathe of land is covered almost entirely in fish cause I forgot you needed resdient services for flick and CJ to show up~~ and I can't sell them until they do~~~ due to my "I must catch EVERYTHING IMMEDIATELY" grinding attitude, I'm gonna be loaded when CJ shows up~~~

fish

fish EVERYWHERE~~~ TANKS SO HIGH IT'S BURYING TREES~~~~

HELP~~~~~

lol~~~

also as per hard mode rules the island name was chosen by a random island name generator~~~ and Erik was a random mystery island and the other 2 were autofilled~~ starters were cherry and sheildon (?) if that's his name~~? idr

over half the fish and bugs done in the span of 5 days LET'S GO~~~~~

Yeah sure I'll hop on the Mobian!Stone train why not

so about the choice in act 3. I feel like the writers wanted to do the suicide mission from me2 AND the companion choice from me1. which clashes at its core because the whole point of the me2 mission was that if you did all the companion quests and worked for it, you could keep everyone alive. and I get wanting the shock of having one of the companions die no matter what, but at this point in the game after the obvious set up, it just feels like one of those haHA surprise! moments

then there's the fact that it's between davrin and harding. the black man and the fan favourite from dai. like it feels so stacked against davrin at that point.

I picked davrin first, and then I went back and picked harding, thinking maybe that was the right choice to keep her alive. and here's where the whole choice gets even worse for me, because harding, instead of using her stone magic, the actual thing that would give her an advantage against ghilan'nain, she climbs up to the exact same spot as davrin, and uses her bow. she tries to use arrows against a giant multi-limbed blight enhanced being. it's stupid! of course she dies!

I had expected that if you picked harding, she would use her stone magic, which would distract ghilan'nain because of the history with the titans, giving lucanis enough time to act. it would have worked really well as a continuation of her character arc, and it would tie into her personal quest in a way that would make it clear that the effort we put into doing that was what makes the difference.

but by not doing that and having her die no matter what, it instead feels like it doesn't make sense. davrin, at least, is just a man with a sword. his death here makes sense because he's against impossible odds.

which brings it back to feeling really bad that the choice was between him and harding. because for this sacrifice / loss to make sense, it feels it should be davrin. for this narrative beat to make sense, it should be davrin dying.

it feels like the writers are saying: the correct choice here is davrin. he's the only companion who should die no matter what. to signpost this at the moment you make this choice, we will have the other choice be the fan favourite from dai. because no one will want to risk her potentially dying.

it feels bad. it feels racist. davrin deserved better.

Striking antique purple kimono with blazing hôju (wish-fulfilling jewel looking like flaming pearl, an ancient pattern representing the cintamani stone).

The mirror skirt pattern placement is a good example of ryôzuma 両褄 , which was all the rage for late Meiji-early 20th century formal kimono like this irotomesode.

The aesthetics of the color transitions are magnificent. In sections, like Rothko's mini paintings. Colorful Fortification Agate

DRG loot bug plush I made for @beau-lion !

Scale's hard to tell here but it's ~2ft in length, weighted, and made of fleece :]

Thalia's color is ultramarine, Jason's color is cyan, Percy's is teal, Bianca's is green, Nico's is olive, and Hazel's is gold.

The big 3 kids make a color gradient in order (Zeus [sky] > Poseidon [ocean] > Hades [underground]) hope this helps

This oak post may be one of the oldest pieces of wood-carved art found in Europe.

It dates from around 6,270 years ago and was found near Maerdy, Rhondda, Wales.

It may have served as a marker post of some kind, possibly marking a tribal boundary, a hunting ground or perhaps a sacred site.
