Next up some norn headshots from Creatures 2 : Male Emerald Norn & Female Golden Desert Norn

[maxwellpaws]

This has been something I've been wanting to do for years.

Finally sat down to do it.

figuring out what went were was hard, things like antinorn obviously goes on the top and something like project locci obviously goes on the bottom, but a lot of other stuff I just went off on vibes or if whether or not I knew about it before I went digging.

Feel free to use for own videos or something.

So I picked up Blender this year...

This game is frustrating,

and full of glitches.

But I like the part where the glitches

add up to something more.

Seeds fall down pixel-thin holes the ground,

errors left by 90s programming,

and now whole families of fruits grow underground,

safe from predators.

This world has ghosts,

spiders removed from the food chain,

and a permanent fog of hormones on the volcanic island.

None of which were intended by the programmers.

My norns have developed an aging disorder,

and live five times their usual life span,

and this is the sort of genetic mutation this game is meant for.

But I don’t think any programmer planned

on my senile old norn

who has forgotten his own name.

I don’t know who Eeevangeline was to him.

I was busy yesterday, and did not witness her.

But she has been dead for longer than norns are meant to be alive,

and she is what this ancient norn remembers.

Norns aren’t programmed to love.

Norns aren’t programmed for anything.

Their brains are built as neural systems,

learning from their experiences.

Their genes give them chemical reactions,

and half-lives,

and dreams of solutions to their problems.

But there is nothing in them that tells them to look at butterflies and clouds.

Norns will follow clouds from horizon to horizon.

They will smile as they watch butterflies.

And they will remember a name after they’ve forgotten their own.

Eeevangeline.

If you want a taste of wat an old school late 90s/early 2000s website looked like, I just found another fantastic functioning example!

I used to be really in the game Creatures 2, and there was a huge mod community for it, which meant tons and tons of fan sites.

What makes this surviving website in particular so great is its a perfect example of how websites of that era were laid out:

Created in 1997, last update in 2004, a perfect time capsule even if most of the outgoing links are broken

but what I really love?

See this? This is how people used to find new websites.

You would usually do one search, find the content you wanted on a site like this, then you'd eventually find your way to the links page and click on a website, then you'd find their links page and it would just keep going :)

And babes, every single website back in the day had a webcomics page:

I found so many amazing comics this way, many which are no longer hosted online :(

You see that? Penny Arcade, just so ya'll get an understanding of how old that shit is

You don't understand, I read my first PA comic in a gaming magazine, I thought it was an original comic made solely for PlayStation Magazine or whatever until I typed in the address for the listed website and found out they updated regularly online!

Life on Forbez was another one of my favs!

Hope this was informative and entertaining 4 ya'llz ;)

This is a Etsy Poland handmade Zodick plush and it is pretty good for the first ever plush of the character.

I just wish it had a tiny devil tail like in the game and this plush looks like a vintage UFO catcher plush you would see in Japan if the creator was still alive and his game got that Xbox port.

Similar to this style of plush.

This plush reminded me of a old PC game beanbag plush from the game Creatures 2 called a Norndoll that a few copies had included with it.

It had droopy ears and looked stitch like before that movie was a thing while having sewn eyes with a tail.

I sold it a long time ago and it didn't have a tush tag so I randomly found it on google images and it was a surprise to me.

The Norn plush I used to have was the purple one which is still rare but was a common color and was the same size as the small giggle monster plush with one eye.

The plush was lightly stuffed and couldn't stand up by itself kind of like a understuffed beanie baby similar to the plush I got from K&K games or K&K sales that felt similar to this plush.

A blog about obscurity stuff, plushies and food. on Tumblr

This is my guess on what this Zodick plush feels like and if it was $50 I might buy it.

This plush looks good but I would rather wait for it to be on sale or Etsy has a coupon code to bring down the price a little.

Maybe check if I can get a plush as big as the John Doe one that looks more Zodick like with his tail attached and mouth open then it would be worth the price.

The Etsy shop isn't on the internet anymore and this plush is gone with it.

I wish this Etsy seller could have added a tail to this plush and it would have sold well if it was $50.

Found these cool charms and stickers on etsy.

Eriko Christy charm used to be $14.50 before tax and shipping but might change is price.

Stickers used to be $5.34 before tax and shipping but might change in price.

me: hey so how far does your 'all-seeing' sight extend?

the many eyed creature in my basement: ARE YOU ASKING BECAUSE YOU TRIPPED ON YOUR OWN SHOELACES IN THE FOYER AND FELL ON YOUR FACE?

me: oh... so you saw that... :(

the many eyed creature (trying to be nice): ................ NO.

So I thought to revisit another old game I loved as a kid and draw some smoll headshots of two of my favorites breeds from Creatures Villages god I played this game so much as a 7 year old kiddo might do the same for the other series as well. there are just too many breeds

[zealoussuitwombat]

Resisting the urge to buy a GOG version of Creatures 2, which I played intensely as a small child but had no idea how to do anything in; I must resist because I think it will consume my life.

it has:

genetics

operant conditioning

ridiculously detailed biometric stats on your Creatures

exploration of ancient ruins and technology

a text interaction system with your Creatures that apparently mimics natural learning??? idk i couldn't figure it out as a 4 year old

I think adult me will find it more comprehensible and playable but also let me relive my childhood wonder!
