Another card I contributed to the collaborative Furby tarot deck ✨

The Death card can represent transformation, endings, change, transition, letting go, release.

In 2005, the Emototronic Furby was released with a wildly differing design from their 1998 model counterparts. The technology involved for communication with the toy (voice and phrase recognition as opposed to 98s infrared sensor) was the largest difference aside from the change in visual appearance.
at some point, I wanna make a short list of resources frequently used by dlsite games, because a lot of people assume there’s more of a baseline quality gap between “eastern” and “western” rpgmaker games than there actually is, and a lot of that comes down to the JP rpgmaker community having established avenues through which to acquire cheap royalty-free assets that specifically match the vibes of rpgs lol
the big one is “you can literally just license a soundtrack from audiostock for under 10k yen and it’ll immediately give your work a significantly higher production value than using stock rpgmaker music”
i would also like to plug dova-syndrome for a free option! (if you watch any japanese youtubers/vtubers you will definitely recognize some music from here)
it has a ton of royalty-free music and you can search by a lot of things including general Vibe, with “game” being one of the tags you can filter by and a lot of tracks being specially made to suit RPGs, bishoujo games, etc. there are lyrical songs and sound effects there too.
you can also buy a lot of very cheap packs of royalty-free music and sound effects on DLsite, also often in bundles catering to specific genres of games or sometimes even mimicking specific styles (i.e. i’ve seen ones specifically meant to evoke final fantasy or tales of mana), and with regular sales and coupons. it’s a bit of a step down from audiostock but if you’re working with no or very low budget both of these places are still really good options for indie stuff
a raven father (i call him “pants”) I’ve been feeding sometimes likes to sit outside my window and either wait for more food or just listen to the stuff I’m watching while I draw. Today’s a colder day so he likes to fluff up a bit, and I kid you not :
SOMETIME IN THE LAST WEEK MY SCHOOL PUT UP A LARGE BANNER DEDICATED TO THE :-) EMOTICON
[id: a banner with a huge image of the :-) (smiley face with nose) emoticon captioned “smiley / first emoted here / 19 september 1982 / computer science department / www.cs.cmu.edu/smiley / carnegie mellon.” end id]
happy birthday :-) face
it’s that time of the year again everyone say happy 40th birthday :-)
This is apparently what was contained in the original message that invented the :-) and I’m obsessed with Fahlman’s diction here
when internet people are like “i love gothic literature but i hate anything that discusses incest, sexual violence, oppression, misogyny, abuse, torture, gore, murder, or death”
no actually me and everyone else who’s ever watched crimson peak were brainwashed by guillermo del toro into believing that incest and violence are cool and awesome. sorry
Horrifying that this pearl-clutching over horror actually being dark is unironically becoming A Thing…
note to self: do NOT double the chocolate chip cookie recipe. the mixer can’t handle it. I can’t handle it. my knees hurt. I’ve been rotating cookie sheets since I was born and I will be rotating cookie sheets until I die
