So I was listening to "Into the Torment Nexus" by Tomato Gaming while drifting in and out of consciousness. At around 3 hours and 35 seconds, my brain rot activated and I was forced to bring my mind's vision into reality.

As for why? Well, that should be pretty self-explanatory.

Behold! The latest thing to steal my attention away from my fifty other projects and obligations:

Making Makoto Yuki from Persona 3 Transfem!

Why?

Because I want to.

Oh, and also because they give me major egg/closeted vibes. Like the whole distant and dry personality with jokes that border on insults? Literally me before I came out.

Also still literally me when I have to talk to people I don't like.

Anyways, if you see this and knows something about 3D modeling, modding Persona 3 Portable, or both, please feel free to reach out.

Cause I'm basically just figuring out what to do as I go along, and the documentation on P3P modding is almost nonexistent.

MY COMPUTER'S SLOWLY DYING!!! ONLY 17% REMAINING UNTIL IT'S BATTERY IS PERMENANTLY DEAD!!!

So in light of likely having to migrate my important files to an infinitely weaker PC, here's an OC I made a while ago for a potential Pokémon Fangame idea that I briefly worked on. Her name was apparently Olivia. I'm pretty sure I named her after the sickly, olive-colored skin I tried to give her. She was supposed to be a trans girl who ran away from her neglectful parents. Her father was a gym leader you'd fight like half-way through the game. She was also one of your two rivals, with the other one being the professor's nephew. The reason why the nephew was starting his Pokémon journey so late was due to having controlling parents that didn't let him go on one until he became 18 and went to live with his aunt.

Yeah, the common thread here was that both characters were like 18 or 19 and had shitty parents. Can you tell that I was 18/19 and HEAVILY venting when I wrote their backstories? Though to be fair, they do say you should write what you know.

Anyway, every character's team would've been built around a theme. Hers would've been Pokémon who are either often neglected, abandoned, misunderstood, or otherwise treated poorly for qualities out of their control. Her team, if I remember correctly, would've been Mimikyu, Zoroark, Houndstone, Banette, Absol (I think), and Hydreigon.

So there you go. If push comes to shove and I have to switch PC's, hopefully this new one will at least be able to run the basics. As long as I can still use Paint.net, RPG Maker, and play PVZ2, I'll be fine for a while. Escapism is honestly the only thing I have to look forward to at this point.

(One of) the villains of Self Immolation (working title). He is simply know as "THE CEO."

Looks like a thumb. Is.

Developed hands to better count his wealth.

Stores the spoils of this Walmart of a world in the one place it truly belongs: his belly.

Lives in God's image

The protagonist of this little game. She looks scary, but don't hold that against her. She's a Brazilian Giant White-Knee Tarantula named Minerva.

Friendless loser.

Constantly tired, yet anxious and paranoid.

Cries herself to sleep.

Godless sinner.

A design I made for an enemy in a novel my brother's working on. In his novel, the Nihil are creatures born from the lingering remnants of magic and any singular human emotion. Carrying memories that aren't theirs, they abduct humans and condition them to feel only the same extreme emotion they do. They then feed, using the fresh emotion to sustain themselves. Their victims' minds are absorbed in the hellish process, becoming little more than another voice in the Nihil's fragmented mind. They have two main variants: "Depressive" Nihil and "Manic" Nihil. Depressive Nihil are formed and feed off of emotions associated with hypoarousal. They dispel their bodies when not in use, leaving their inky, blob-like hearts exposed. Manic Nihil, likewise, are formed from and feed off of emotions associated with hyperarousal. Much like Depressive Nihil, these creatures' physical forms fade away when not active. However, Manic Nihil have bright-colored hearts, which jitter and dart about impulsively. On Occasion, some have reported seeing the air around Nihil hearts twist and refract into human-like shapes. Some say it's the Nihil trying to remember the memories that aren't theirs—the lives they never lived...

This is the token animal companion of the story and the closest thing Minerva has to a friend. This, ladies, theydies and gentlemen, is Lucifer (yes, THAT Lucifer.)

A shadow of their formal self. Literally. Like, they're little more than a spirit.

Looks cute, golden, and fluffy as a heck (major red flag)

Still the Lord of Darkness, Prince of Lies, Great Blasphemer, and many more.

Will probably betray you in exchange for head scritches. No, seriously, don't trust them or the second wing I was too lazy to draw. Only a clumsy, friendless, cringefail loser who cries herself to sleep would fall for such easy manipulation. And you're not a clumsy, friendless, cringefail loser who cries herself to sleep, are you?

Silly little idea for the HUD in a game I'm making.

The HP/MP goop sloshes around and gets lower the less of it you have.

When you have a status condition, a hammer appears and begins striking the chisel rapidly along with flashing red text informing you of your status. The HUD also vibrates a little with each hit.

This does not go away until the status does. If that sounds hellish/distracting/annoying/incomprehensible, that's because the entire game will be like that lmao. Have you ever listened to Machine Girl? That's the vibe I'm going for.

Persona 2: Innocent Sin's PSX soundtrack actually fucks so hard. The PSP soundtrack doesn't even compare.

Oh, and the story's pretty good too. Just wish the game would let me consistently experience it without having to hunt around the city for event triggers, though.

Like, if I know where to go next, I shouldn't have to waste an hour finding the one NPC I have to talk to that'll let me progress.

Above all, though, I kinda just wish the PSX version had an official English version. A lot of atmosphere was lost in the PSP port.
