Witchy Wishlist, WA, USA

1. ART of my children.  I have two green cheek conures and a siamese cat and have also had a jardine parrot.  I love them, they are my life and ANY form of art of them absolutely brightens my mood for days, feel free to search my blog for Momo, Zodi, Harry and Boris or contact me for as many reference pictures as you want.

2. Craft supplies! EVEN HANDMEDOWNS AND USEFUL SCRAPS.  my favorite things right now are modern embroidery with cotton and six strand floss and stitching on felt with pearl cotton.  but i also spin my own yarn, crochet like mad, sculpt, papercraft, paint (mostly watercolor but also love acrylics) etc.

3. PIctures of your critters! I am animal obsessed and would love to get to know your pets.  I personally am most fascinated by birds and cats but i also love and live with some lovely dogs and think reptires and aquatics are so cute.  Sorry insect lovers, i would prefer not to see pictures of your babies but I’d still love to hear stories and antics!

4.  Art/free image sourcing help for oracle decks i love to make.  I am not strong in my 2D art skills but ADORE making oracle decks over on thegamecrafter.  if you have images that we can use free for commercial use (either original images or common use license stock imagery to play with) I would love to partner and format a deck, can be entirely up to you within the options i have available or you can keep it up to me.  I just enjoy the formatting and finding filters, borders, etc to make the images a cohesive deck. OH and if you take me up on this, i’ll make sure we both get a copy at cost but if we decide to list for sale we can split whatever proceeds happen (if they happen, to be honest, i’m not great at advertising)

5.  Tarot/astrology lessons/mentorship.  I’ve been super interested in both topics but feel like a novice in both.  I’m a diviner already but my focus is on intuitive oracle tools.  SO if you have the patience to hold my hand and either talk with me about either topic or even just help send me research to read would all be super helpful!

6.  Essentials for me and my pets.  The birds always need food and toys, and the cat always needs food and litter and cardboard scratchers.  With how little income I have right now, this is a legitimate need in the next couple months that would be lovely to not have to worry about next purchase cycle.

7. Go give love to a favorite online creator of yours, and show off their work to me! I will definitely respond with some of my own favorite folks!  2D art, videos, games, artisans, crafters, artists of any kind.  Give them love and let me see their awesome work!

8. D&D tutoring! I’ve barely ever played but am obsessed with a couple podcasts (currently catching up on Critical Role) and have the resources to run a handful of one shots and even a campaign and a half (gotta love patreon) I would love someone to just explain whatever they think is relevant to playing and DMing and let me ask questions!

9.  TEA!!! I love adagio.com   https://www.adagio.com/gifts/gift_card_gift_of_holidays.html  that is the link to their gift cards, but if you have any recommendations or want to talk fancy flavored teas i’m down for that too!

10. SWITCH GAMES,  i am forever in love with animal crossing but love adding to my game library, top of my list is Pikmin 3 right now, it just looks so stinking cute.

11.  SOCKS.... so.... i have a bit of a long sock obsession..... and the one company i know and trust for my long socks in my (plus) size is sockdreams! as long as it fits me i am totally cool with you picking out what you want to get me but they also make the cutest giftcards.  They make pride stripe socks of various lengths (their plus sized genderqueer over the knee socks are what i have on right now XD) and they are the comfiest things.  Fancy socks are a serious weakness of mine and i love them. https://www.sockdreams.com/ecard.html

12.  Movie buddy! I have a few movies that i know but havent’ seen in years cuz they have gross memories attached to them.  Like i ADORE the cats stage musical and have a dvd of the films stage production... but i can’t watch it by myself because my brain goes south really really fast.... so! if you are up for sitting with me on IM/DM and letting me chatter about the movie for the whole length of the film, let me know! (you can be watching along or not, up to you!) CATS is the big one, but les miserable is one as is repo the genetic opera and practical magic.

Olimar’s LOG #1: Prologue

Olimar: So there I was with Brittany asking if I would aid in their journey back to PNF-404. I had stopped to think for a moment, was it worth going back. I thought  back to the planet and the danger it had put me through. But, for as bad as those times where, if the planet was potentially in trouble, I had to take the risk. For the future needs of Koppai, for Hocotate’s current economic boom, and for the Pikmin that helped me so much.

((click for better quality)) 

((a quick introduction!! I’m almost ready to start answering asks just a bit more housekeeping and a few more posts and then it begins!~))

{{ Screen reader image description is under “read more”}}

The First image shows a black screen with white text. The text is written from Olimars’ perspective, it reads, “It all started a month ago…” 

In the second image 2 panels are shown the first panel is of Olimar at the computer looking at his Space mail. Olimar begins to say, “I had recently received an email from a familiar face. It was from Brittany of the planet Koppai. After our last trip to the Pikmin Planet, we had since stayed in contact.” 

The second panel reveals a distraught-looking Olimar.

“However, it had been a while since I heard from her. Though this email wasn’t just for a friendly chat. It was urgent!” 

The third image shows a map of PNF-404.  The map shows readings of the planet’s data.  

Olimar then says “It turns out that the urgent message had to do with the Pikmin Planet.” “Since we had last been there the Koppaites’ had been keeping an eye on the planet’s condition doing light research here and there. Though this was unsurprising since the Pikmin Planet, also named PNF-404 by them, played an instrumental part in saving their world.

The fourth image shows a group of Koppaite scientists looking at a large screen showing data readings on the planet PNF-404. On top of those readings, a warning sign in bright red is displayed.  Olimar continues by saying” However, currently the information the Koppaites had found is more than disconcerting. Turns out the planet’s life both flora and fauna have been reacting weirder than normal. Even the planet’s atmosphere has changed causing extreme weather anomalies. And to top it all off the reasoning is unknown.” 

In the fifth image,  An image of 2 government officials shaking hands one a Koppaiet and one a Hocotatian can also be seen. Olimar then says “ So, in order to figure out what has happened the Koppaite government has taken it into their hands to send some explorers back to the planet to do some more in-depth research. It just so turns out that Koppai isn’t the only government involved in this investigation. The Hocotatian government intrigued due to the planet’s amazing treasures, had been convinced and brought on board to help with the research.” 

The sixth image shows 3 panels. In the first it shows Alph holding a wrench, the next panel shows Brittany examining a potted plant, and the third panel shows Charlie with his hands on his hips looking proud. Olimar then states, “Alph, Brittany, and Charlie were all once again asked to journey to the planet and resume their roles of Engineer, Botanist, and Captain respectively.”

In the 7th Image, Olimar then continues to explain, “She also happened to mention that if there was anyone that could aid in our expedition I was allowed to ask them to join. My first thought of course was Louie. Who upon being asked gave me a, ‘Okay’, much to Brittanys’ future chagrin.” The Image shows Olimar talking to Louie about joining the mission to PNF-404.  

The eighth image shows 2 panels the first is a picture of Alph steering the S.S Drake. The second is of the S.S Drake lifting off into the upper atmosphere. Olimar then continues to say, “So, It was set. We had the funding, the resources, and the team to get started. With our equipment packed and our ship the S.S Drake Mark 2, prepared we were ready to launch!” 

In the ninth image, 2 more panels are shown. One is of Olimar sitting resting his head on his hand while looking out a window on the ship. The second is of the S.S Drake flying out into space headed to PNF-404. Olimar continues by saying, ”Who's to say what we will find on the planet or what changes have occurred. All I know is that even though I have been through so much on that planet. As long as we stay sharp and resourceful this will hopefully be a success.” 

In the final panel, Olimar says “I hope...” in white text over a black background. 

END ID.

{{ Screen reader image description is under “read more”}}

 In the first image, a lineup of all the characters can be seen. They are lined up in this order from left to right. A yellow Pikmin, Olimar, Louie, Alph, Brittany, and then Charlie. The yellow Pikmin is the only colored character the rest is only lined art.  

In the second image, a blue and yellow pikmin can be seen standing in a forest. The forest is a photographed picture while the Pikmin are drawn on top of it.

END ID.

NINJAMUFFIN DOING ANOTHER AMA ON TWITTER, HERE'S MORE SHIT FOR YA! keep in mind i'm just sharing the funkin related stuff, though i am including WAAAAY more than what i shared before 👍 go check out ninja's twitter profile for questions about stuff like ritz! questions in blue, answers in orange. if yall don't wanna read everything i MIGHT make a version of this post where i replace the answers with my own summaries of em (and if the questions are long, those too)

and here's a link to the ama tweet itself! dunno if it's still goin

Q: I figure the answer will be yes but do you have more plans to implement more guest appearances from people in the newgrounds community into FNF? Or are you all gunna focus on OG lore and stuff going forward

A: for guest appearances, I think we have always seen it as getting a healthy mix of both. PERSONALLY I'd like to lean towards having more OG stuff than guest stuff, BUT it's all a matter of what other boys think of that as well. I'm not the sole person working on game!

Q: Are you gonna release the full FNF game or are you gonna be releasing week after week? Like, are you gonna release week 8 or are we gonna wait some years until The Full Ass Game comes out?

A: Release plan for FNF right now is a few more updates or whatev to the 'demo' we have out right now, and then a long silence of probably no updates whatsoever until the full game is done (which will likely be a few years). That's partly why we made kickstarter for game.

Q: Hey so like, how much will Fnf cost after it's finished? And when will you ask the supporters what they want the game on?

A: It's all subject to change, but right now it prob gonna be standard 15-25$ lil steam indie game.

We will ask Kickstarter pledgers and whatnot what they want the game on SUPER close to when its released, to keep options open if we get onto anything like a console people want.

Q: 1. how was your day

2. are you releasing a week 8 song early like week 7, or are you goin full lockdown

A: I am doing GOOD today, and I think recently I've been good in general.

up to the mood, but so far we doing good about not having anything leak or whatev, so I think it'd be fun to have update come out with people not knowing what to expect at all. Build dat intrigue

Q: Will fnf ever get official plushies?? Seems like an untapped market

A: FNF plushies will prob happen some point, we have a lot of current merch stuff on our plates already though! (Mostly kickstarter type stuff, shirts, pins, posters, and all the physical OST stuff) Its a lot to sort out, but in time more and more stuff will happen. We r jus 4 boys!

Q: did you ever expect your game to blow up as it did? what was your first reaction to seeing it become super popular

A: FNF never had a humble moment, literally day 1 before the prototype even came out, the vid on twitter had like 5K likes overnight. Then when ludum dare version came out, it got 5K likes again, like it wasnt just a fluke. Was crazy, and def felt like somethin was different wit FNF

Q: Do you plan on getting other people to come in to help with the music? That seems like a lot of work to dump on one person, what with the erect mode and whatnot.

I guess the question could apply to all aspects of development. Will you be bringing on more people to help?

A: We definitely are getting help from other people. We are always keeping an eye on people for various different things. In terms of programming, already I've gotten 2 people (MtH and Geokureli) to help with certain Week 7 stuff (charting/polish, and loading stuff). Shit like dat

Q: Oh, also, will the Steam version be Workshop compatible? That'd really help streamline the process of downloading mods.

A: Steam version of FNF will likely NOT be Steam workshop compatible, because we want all the mods to NOT be spread out through different places. There WILL be modding support that is as streamlined as Steam workshop though. Mainly for non-steam versions of the game!

Q: Are there any chances that the game will have a physical release? Also any updates on a switch port? I remember one of you guys talking/joking about it.

A: Not impossible for FNF to get a physical release. We would want to see how far we could go with it though. I think it'd be super easy to do something wit people like LimitedRun games or whatev, but I think stuff like that can only go so far. I wanna see Funkin in mf Walmart!!!!!!

not that LimitedRun isn't going to be an option! Just we consider and pursue many different things! FNF release is years away, so we have time to think about everything. Whole mindset can be different just a few months from now.

Q: Out of curiosity, how are you dealing with all the popularity? It blew up so fast id barely be able to handle it if I was in your shoes.

A: The only way I've been able to handle it is having the other boys on the crew and being able to talk to them about all the overwhelmingness.

Part of it feels very lonesome, feels like NO ONE can come close to comprehending exactly how I'm feeling, except them. also other PALS!!!

Q: Do you own any of the bootleg FNF merchandise? Like any bootleg plushies or anything?

A: i dont, i genuinely think they r a waste of money, and I know any bootleg shit that gets made, we can prob go about and make it, and make it 100x cooler because we actually put effort into shit. bootleg shit just in it for the coin, so they aint gettin that from me

Q: How did you go about getting in contact with sr pelo for skid and pumps vocals?

A: Pelo i think was familiar and pals wit PhantomArcade a bit thru various Newgrounds things and collabs and whatnot.

pelo retweeted the first OG FNF posts first ever, and brought a LOT of attention to it. to pay him back, we put skid and pump in game! ask dave for more info prob

Q: what's the plan for having the full ass game open source if it's gonna cost money? couldn't people just download the source and compile the game for free?

A: when FNF is fully released, the full source code will be released as well.

the game will be DRM free so it will be way easier for people to redistribute the released/offical .exe instead of compiling it, so that's not the issue anyways. people will pay for things if they like it

Q: What are the chances of it getting on consoles like switch or Playstation, ps5 would definitely be my preferred way to play

A: it'd be a matter of hiring someone to build out backend stuff for those specific consoles. someone who knows their way around all the wacky code stuff, AND knows console hardware stuff. Then its just a matter of hittin up those console manufacturers (Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo)

the CLOSEST one is SWITCH. pretty much all of that backend is already made, so it just a matter of gettin all that access and shit.

i think in any case though, there's a lot of NDA stuff required, i dunno how much we'd be able to talk about it even IF we get that stuf sorted

Q: any ideas of releasing it on epic store or another platform?

A: Right now, the only thing that is 100% confirmed and WILL happen is a Steam version, itchio version, and mobile versions on respective app stores. Other storefronts aren't out of the picture though, but we don't want to spread ourselves too thin with it.

Q: Will you continue using HaxeFlixel to make the rest of FNF?

A: yes, because it is what I'm the most technically proficient in, and generally is VERY flexible. just a matter of ME becoming a better coder. It's ALL open source, so if I need something done a certain way, either I can do it, or we can hire someone to do it.

Q: have you seen game theory's videos on your game yet and if so, what do you think about them? (not talking about his predictions because i dont want spoilers. i like mystery)

A: it is always good silly fun to watch the Game Theory vids about Funkin with some pals, and see what matpat thinks of the game. i lov the vids, but wish he used my face less! Or at least used a cuter pic of me like this one!!

Q: Ok so: What does the future of FNF look like to you?

A: future of FNF is a rhythm game that not only exceeds every expectation that people have of it, but subverts most expectations and conventions as well.

Q: Do you plan on retouching on older weeks once the game is fully out? Like reanimating sprites, redoing some charting, updating the background, etc

A: retouching and probably overhauling certain aspects is almost definitely gonna happen. Everything is fluid and can be changed (and should be changed when necessary). i dont think anything should be too attached to, especially this early on in development

Q: I honestly do not care if the answer to this is vague as hell to keep surprises and shit lol but… Since Week 7 was the closest we’ll get to a playable girlfriend (still bf controlling tho), do you have plans to make girlfriend playable in spin-off things or just freeplay?

A: wouldnt be out of the picture for a playable GF, i don't think we've had some hard thing AGAINST it. just a matter of what we want out of the game, and what sort of story or whatev we could do with that concept

Q: How do BF and GF manage to meet famous newgrounds characters (such as pico, tankman and the others to come) like is this all in one universe/ timeline or are they being brought in?

A: i think they are all just there existing. i think there's a lot of wacky things in other media that try to justify crossovers, like MULTIVERSE bullshit or TIMELINE shit, but i dunno, its like subspace emissary. Captain Falcon and Olimar from Pikmin just hang out. Shit like dat

disclaimer that all lore shit is in phantomarcade head pretty much and maybe there is wacky dimensions or somethin

Q: Will the game have dlc?

A: its not too unlikely that we'd have expansions of some sort, but i mean right now we plan on packing in as much as we can into base game, and trying to make that as pure as possible.

if there is ANY dlc, i would personally want it to be 100% free updates

Q: How did you meet Phantom Arcade, Kawai Sprite, and EvilSker? And what do you think about the community and its controversies?

A: me and phantomarcade been fukin around NG for years so years and years ago we naturally crossed paths and became pals

about 2 years ago i found kawaisprites music on NG, and started talkin wit him, made Ritz wit him and we fell in lov

and evilsk8r i met cuz of FNF!!!

quik elaborate on evilsk8r, wanted artist for gamejam FNF was for (ludum dare), and OG person i asked wasnt available, so he referred me to evilsk8r, who I have never met or talked to before ever.

[thevoiding]

This is what my friend has sent, not sure if this was shown or not. It might also be out of order and not everything got saved to my google photos but this is showing he they legit were acting like it was a joke. They “haha’s” and “stay hydrated!” Was them acting like we were saying this stuff like a joke.

They act like loup was abusive and forced her hyperfixations and muse onto other when all she did was talk about liking Brittany from pikmin 3 from time to time. And my friends and I dropped the whole drama and only brought it up Incase it could have really caused a problem.

Loup tried to put a stop to it by contacting nef through discord but was only given a lot of anger in response. Nef acts all calm on their twitter but will blow up showing their true colors in private. (If you want the screenshots of the convo if not seen them I will provide them. I have all pictures of the drama that happened.)

(If any of my wording is confusing sorry I’m not amazing at explain stuff)

Here is the message I sent to nef and their response.

I had sent the message to a friend so that’s why it’s from here on tumblr.

—- I do see what they’re talking about regarding guilt tripping, you should’ve handled the situation more calmly. I know it was probably very hard for you to do that, but “I hope you’re happy at what you did” is. Really guilt trippy. Anyway, yeah, they showed no signes of worry.

12 issues you should know in tech at this time

Right here’s your day by day tech digest, by means of the DGiT Each day publication, for Wednesday, June 12, 2019!

1. Nintendo: this E3’s winner?

The main E3 2019 conferences at the moment are over and we’ll quickly be again to speaking different tech. However first, right here’s what went down with the Nintendo Direct.

Nintendo

Nintendo introduced a sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and it was probably the best-kept secret of this yr’s present / all time.

In a brief teaser, we see Hyperlink and Zelda touring by a mysterious cave (I assume all caves are sort of mysterious aren’t they?) accompanied by some eerie, backward music, and a glowing, flowing gentle.

Subsequent factor , some useless monstrosity (that followers are fairly certain is the collection’ recurring villain Ganondorf) is reanimating and Hyrule Fort is rising from the bottom.

That’s about all we acquired from the teaser when it comes to plot, and we didn’t be taught something about gameplay.

Nevertheless it seems prefer it’s based mostly on the Breath of the Wild engine and tech, so an enormous graphical or gameplay overhaul gained’t be in tow.

Similar console, similar engine, darker tone… this feels very very like what Majora’s Masks was to Ocarina of Time. Which might technically imply it would destroy each different recreation, ever?

A direct relationship to Majora’s Masks has already been denied, although. Boo!

Fairly than a launch date or title reveal, the teaser ends with the quote: “The sequel to the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is now in development.”

I think it’s two or so years away from launch, however my co-worker Ollie Cragg has one other concept.

Upcoming Animal Crossing title pushed again to 2020

Nintendo

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been delayed till March 20, 2020 after Nintendo beforehand stated it was coming in 2019.

However there’s a brief new gameplay trailer right here, after which 24 minutes of footage and a chat by way of Gamespot right here, and it seems so gosh-darn lovely I can’t be upset in regards to the delay.

On this iteration of the chat-to-animals-and-craft-stuff-em-up, gamers are set to construct a brand new life on a abandoned island.

It doesn’t appear to be it would keep abandoned for very lengthy.

The gameplay appears to be very a lot within the custom of earlier titles, however the trailer’s finish suggests the participant will obtain management of a possible smartphone-like gadget by way of enterprise tycoon-racoon Tom Nook. What is going to it do? Hmmm.

These unfamiliar with Animal Crossing could also be forgiven for questioning if it’s a spoof of a youngsters’s academic recreation.

And people conversant in Animal Crossing will in all probability have already fainted from the joy of all of it.

Different Nintendo bulletins

Gamespot

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is heading to the Swap this yr, which means you’ll quickly have the ability to Gwent on the go.

The title picked up quite a few game-of-the-year awards in 2015, and regardless of its age, it’s going to check the Swap’s hardware to the max. The Witcher’s official Twitter has confirmed it would run at 720p decision when docked and 540p whereas handheld.

There have been baggage of latest footage of The Legend of Zelda: Hyperlink’s Awakening remake, and a confirmed launch date: September 20, 2019. Should you haven’t seen what it seems like, have a peek – the artwork model is ridiculously good.

Additionally, we should all shield the Hyperlink’s Awakening amiibo.

We acquired a take a look at some upcoming Smash Bros DLC characters, together with Banjo-Kazooie (after a cheeky faux out) and a few Dragon Quest people that Japan in all probability went nuts over.

And a cinematic trailer for Fireplace Emblem: Three Homes appeared. That’s touchdown on the Swap subsequent month on July 26.

Luigi’s Mansion 3 is occurring and the web is right here for his slimy doppelganger, Gooigi.

Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Defend gameplay was proven off. Appears scorching however persons are upset in regards to the Pokémon switch limitations. It’s difficult, however principally, you possibly can’t catch ‘em all on this one.

A brand new Trials of Mana RPG is on the horizon, coming early 2020. It is a large deal for some long-time followers – the collection has been round for the reason that mid-90s.

And Nintendo introduced No Extra Heroes 3 – one other collection with a fervent following (for some purpose).

A superb present all spherical

Nintendo didn’t point out its rumored new Swap consoles – minor up to date machines stated to be coming this yr – or the lately rebooted Metroid Prime 4, Bayonetta 3, or Pikmin 4.

And but it nonetheless had a killer E3 with tons of causes to be excited in regards to the Swap’s future.

I simply realized how Nintendo has actually embraced the “family friendly” picture it tried to shake within the GameCube days. It makes for a pleasant change of tempo from the drab tone and gun porn in so many different gameplay trailers at this yr’s E3.

Additionally, I bear in mind poring over E3 screenshots in Nintendo Official Journal once I was a child, and now all these things is there, with a great deal of footage, on YouTube. Fairly neat.

2. Mark Zuckerberg deepfake to bother Fb faux video stance?

Instagram

From the great world of Nintendo to a considerably bleak actuality.

A deepfake video, displaying the likeness of Mark Zuckerberg, has appeared on Instagram.

Within the video, created by artists Invoice Posters and Daniel Howe with promoting firm Canny, the faux Zuckerberg talks in regards to the implications of 1 individual controlling billions of individuals’s stolen knowledge.

“Imagine this for a second: One man, with total control of billions of people’s stolen data, all their secrets, their lives, their futures,” says Fakerberg.

Instagram proprietor Fb has beforehand stated it might not take away this kind of video below its insurance policies. However what about when it issues its personal CEO?

Effectively, Instagram advised Motherboard would deal with this video the identical method because it treats all different misinformation on its platform.

Which means deprioritization, however not removing.

Anybody watching the video fastidiously (or listening for that matter) will discover it isn’t fairly proper. However that depends on the viewer’s considerably cautious consideration.

Which, on the subject of on-line media, will be briefly provide.

Although it’s good to see Fb-owned Instagram standing by its coverage regardless that this impacts the massive man himself, the dangerous information is – as we’re all conscious by now – faux content material will be produced for political acquire.

As soon as this know-how reaches the purpose the place it’s utterly indistinguishable from actuality, we may very well be doomed.

New York Occasions warned we must be ready for this eventuality in an article earlier this week: Deepfakes are coming. we will not consider what we see. Don’t miss it.

3. Fb desires to present you cash in your knowledge (Android Authority). That’s fairly, erm, properly, erm, er, properly, erm, ahem, yeah… higher than taking it totally free, is what I’ll say about that.
