Super OddBird?

Friends of mine own a pizza place and have a few arcade machines in there. Years ago I built a tabletop “arcade” and haven't done anything with it...

I figured I’d donate it to them... But I couldn’t just let them have any normal game! I waned to give them something special! Before the pizza place they started their bar OddBird so I wanted to make a video game for that. After pulling my hair out trying to program a game from scratch I decided to just take Super Mario World and make the characters look like a sketch I had done for them:

The old title screen and first level rough layout:

I Have most of the Small Mario sprites done. In Super OddBird you start as a little chick!

Ideally Mario and Luigi will look something like this. (These were from the custom game before I kiboshed that)

(sorry for the potato quality gif)

Remaking the Logo was a bit nutty...

...Hopefully I’ll finish this sooner than later. In the meantime if you’re in the area defiantly check out their establishments. 

PS: If you bring your own eggs and ask for a “Low Key Triggered” you’ll receive one of the best eggs benedict I’ve ever tasted... But that’s a secret... So good I had to sketch it.

PS2: I almost forgot... I also painted one of their washrooms with this neat animal theme!

Okay wait I’m so excited about oddbird???? I’d love to see her infodumping about something she’s excited about and catches herself and kindly quietly apologizes but Bruce is like “???? Keep going? I was enjoying it”

"Clark they're perfect," Lois hissed, "look at him-"

Clark frowned, Bruce was hardly someone he'd want you dating- even if he couldn't really stop you- Or Lois from encouraging you to do it- his Ma would kill him.

Ever since you were kids, she's pounded into his head that you were fragile- a lot more fragile than him. And that it was his job, if he was going to take you with him adventuring, to keep you safe. And letting you get involved with the Batman, was not safe.

Still. As he listened to you, patiently explaining the importance of books on cookery written in the 1500's- specifically Philippine Welser, and watched the World's Greatest detective actively fascinated. He couldn't deny that you could always do with another friend.

He felt guilty, sometimes. Having a wife and a whole double life and less time to spend with you. You'd just been there. As long as he could remember. And the last time you'd moved, he hadn't even known until you'd emailed him a list of new addresses and places he could reach you whle you were working.

"Y/N this is all great but what does this-" Lois started, now flummoxed by what Philippine and her Cook book had to do with... anything.

You break off with a cough and look down, giving them a sheepish smile. "Sorry- I- rabbit holes. One thing runs into the next and-"

"No," Bruce interjected, "It's fascinating, really, Doctor- the common herbs and the ways they were used for medicine and Alchemy- it's not much of a leap." "Alchemy?" Lois asked, "Trying to turn Lead to gold now, Y/N?"

"No," you snort, "Nothing so ambitious. But. The Hapsburg line does have deep roots with the Golden Fleece."

"Still looking for that?" Clark asked, "Why-"

"Why not?" you ask, "If Atlantis and Amazons can exist, maybe this isn't just a fairy tale either."

In the back of his head, he can still see you. Beaming at him. A new book on something clutched against your chest. Bought with money from your birthday and endless hours looking for cans and bottles to recycle. You'd read it until every detail was in your mind. And he tried not to hear Bruce's heart rate kick up a notch when you turned to go back to what you'd been sketching out for them. A roadmap to what they were looking for- A way to stop the end of the world. Cobbled together from a lifetime of falling into rabbit holes.

"See?" Lois murmured, patting his arm, "he's hooked-"

"Stop," Clark said abruptly. Cutting you off mid sentence, wincing internally when you look confused. Thinking you'd wandered off topic again. "Y/N thank you. You don't have to stay you can-"

"Of course," you murmur. Looking down at the papers on the table. "If you need anything else-"

"We'll call," Clark said firmly. Trying not to squirm as you shoulder your bag. Making yourself smaller. Pulling your enthusiasm back and tucking it away. Like he'd seen you do anytime you didn't feel like being noticed anymore. Because being noticed was dangerous. "You go with her Lois-"

"Clark!" She looked at you for back up but before she can get her protests out, or before you can have to watch your friends do a whole dramatic good bye make out- you're gone. Winding your way back the way you came, out the the university archives and into the hall. Burying yourself in plans for books on Philippine and Jepp and other figures that tended to be overlooked. Stories that still felt like they needed to be told. Properly.

Airsllide No. 10138: N510DA, Boeing 727-232 Adv., Delta Air Lines, San Diego, February 6, 1994.

Take a second look at this Delta Boeing 727 - did you notice the winglets? N510DA was one of two 727s the carrier fitted with winglets in 1993 in order to test the effects in terms of fuel savings. Given the short service period left, the benefits compared to the investment did obviously not justify re-fitting the rest of the fleet, and N510DA together with her sister N511DA remained the only two oddbirds in Delta's 196 units strong Boeing 727 fleet.

Hc: In terms of children's books, I think Kid Caleb would like "Oddbird" (the birds are so pretty and colorful + he likes the ending) and "Giggle, Giggle, Quack" (it's super silly + he finds the duck funny) and Kid Philip would like "The Artist Who Painted A Blue Horse" (the book features a blue horse and other colored animals) and "Where the Wild Things Are" (the boy is feral and so is he).

OddBird joins as Django Girls Global Partner!

Happy New Year!

We are excited to start the year by announcing a great company joining us as a global partner - OddBird!

OddBird collaborates with teams at mid-size and large companies to plan, design, and develop custom web applications and design systems. As thoughtful experts, they love to help their clients improve team workflow, lower maintenance costs, and solve problems with technology that help people. They provide the full range of services from brand design, user research, and project management, to Python on the backend, CSS/Sass on the frontend, and JavaScript.

OddBird was founded in 2008 by three siblings with a vision for human-centered software design and development on the web, especially focused on accessibility, performance, integrated design systems, and long-term sustainability. Since then, OddBird has become an industry leader – from our work on Django, Sass, and Susy, to the W3C, Mozilla Developer Channel, Object-Oriented UX, and in-depth conference talks on front-end architecture, workflow, component libraries, testing, and documentation. 

Their clients get to know their tight-knit team on a first-name basis. OddBird is intentionally small, enabling them to move nimbly and integrate with teams at larger companies like Adobe, Google, Mozilla, and SRAM for a big impact. They all learn what makes each project special, and strategize together – keeping the backend, frontend, and design integrated for a shared understanding of each company's goals and user needs.

OddBird staff frequently give conference talks and workshops, write articles and speak on podcasts to teach people how to create more resilient web applications and design systems – improving team processes, communication, site performance, and accessibility.

OddBird has supported us in the past for years through Patreon and we are excited to have them back as our Silver sponsor. 

Thank you OddBird!

Django Girls Foundation is looking for more corporate sponsors to join as global partners. For more information on our corporate sponsorships, please see our sponsorship deck or email fundraising@djangogirls.org. You can also visit our Patreon page for monthly donations.

Next door to Oddbird is a luvly board game cafe called Ludology.

I made a little homage to them in the form of a SNES game case!

Instead of Mario riding Yoshi, it is the store owner! The background is the street the cafe is on! If you look close... all the info on the box has to do with Ludology!

Check them out!

[lonestar-s5countdown]

This week we have some Redemption-themed questions for our tag game!

(1) Which 911 Lone Star character redemption moment is your favorite? (Feel free to interpret “redemption” as loosely as you like. This can include moments of forgiveness, moments characters proved themselves, moments characters learned from their mistakes, etc.)

(2) Is there a character you think deserved more of an on screen redemption moment than we got in the show?

(3) Is there a recurring (or even one-time guest) “villain” that you would like to see return with a redemption arc? Or if not, is there a “villain” you absolutely would not want to see get a redemption?

(4) Are there any unresolved conflicts from the first four seasons that you wish were reconciled on screen?

(5) Which main character would you like to have a more developed backstory?

Answer the questions and tag some more people to play! Make sure to tag @lonestar-s5countdown so we don’t miss your answers!

Open tag, but also tagging:
