Sunset amongst the sands – dungeons and magic

Pixel art based for today based on videogame Exile for game console Sega Mega Drive. As I can see it is action rpg. I think it is interesting. Interesting adventure. And level up. Explore of some caves, something like this. Dungeons. I think.

And this is my drawing about the same theme. Sands. Desert land. There are lots of cities here, that have a ancient history. And lots of treasures in ancient dungeons. They are abandoned by mages. Jeans and elementals often prefer dungeons as a cover from hot weather.

Magic fairies are living in small oasis in forests. People say you even can see a unicorn there.

It is magic desert land. People say, that someone resurrect master of skeletons. And he starts to resurrect more skeletons. But it is far away from here. But you can check this rumor. Or that somewhere faraway there is a land of endless sunset. And if to go into another direction you can find region of extreme hot weather. From those places are goes elementals and demons.

These place has lots to discover. But main trouble for locals – it is big scorpions. They were summoned by some sorcerer-fool by mistake. And he cannot tame them.  Now they are problems for locals. If you to solve this - you will gain a big experience as explorer and adventurer.

Pixel art also based on game I like. And I played it before New Year. It is Bit Dungeons 2. Simple roguelike, action role playing. I like it a lot. So, this picture is also about such action rpg. About desert theme.

As it is a free travel through the world. Explore locations. And as idea  - to check rumors. About some treasures or events. Which are happening in a world. You can travel any direction, check any rumor. Easy play game, as idea. It is pixel art only now. Travel for relax.

Ad for Crime Wave (Access Software, PC DOS, 1990)

All New World of Lemmings (1994 - DMA Design - DOS)

86-DOS was a disk operating system, initially named QDOS, made by Seattle Computer Products in 1979-80, in order to have more software to sell with their 8086 computer kit--at the time the only software they had to sell with it was a Microsoft BASIC compiler that Microsoft had developed for their board.

Microsoft licensed 86-DOS in December 1980 for $25K. In ‘81, they began porting it to the 8088 IBM PC. In July ‘81, a month before the PC’s release, Microsoft bought all rights to 86-DOS from SCP for $50K, renamed it MS-DOS, and licensed it to IBM.

SCP later sued, claiming Microsoft had hidden their relationship with IBM in order to purchase 86-DOS cheaply. SCP received a $1M settlement.

not a real hc i have abt the watchers its just that the sentence "the watchers top surgeried grian" is so so funny to me.

I was gonna apologize for the accidental horror but I did remember that this is the story where they beat each other to death so like

meet cute at your local żabka

english translation and notes under the cut 💗💗💗

żabka (froggy) is the name of an extremely popular corner shop chain in Poland, it's literally everywhere

My translation is not always literal but sometimes vibes based, like in PL version Sanji doesn't use "jesus" in the second page, but the expression "ja pierdole" doesn't have an english equivalent that would make sense in this contex, literally it means "I fuck" lmao

I now see I mixed up prepositions when Sanji asks Luffy for the sauces, uh oh ANYWAY

I also didn't translate the cans Zoro brings at the end, the writing on the cans says "potwór" which means "monster", so yup these are basically monster energy drinks but translated literally hence the capitalized P as the logo. Why does he drink that instead of some Polish ass beer? Good question, I just enjoy calling them drinks Potwór, and dont know much about beer

"tits or ass" bro her hard drives

was rewatching fabian’s baron moment on account of it being the most delicious piece of pvp in my recent memory and ally beardsley’s growth as a player just shone through so brightly and with such clarity. after dusting off their shock they immediately asked about the nemesis ward, had enough knowledge about fellow pcs stocked to remember adaine’s ac with such like frustrated confidence and certainty, suggested to siobhan to dimension door out of adaine’s room, like. they came into this making a character with 4 dex. and now the dice deity offered to roll a check to sense if adaine was in danger. making decisions, asking questions, getting invested in the story, trying so hard with the tools they have to save characters from danger; ally beardsley is an incredible d&d player.

Idk if your avoiding spoilers or not but when I saw Sam's winter glow up I immediately got excited to see your reaction to it

Hahahah nope not avoiding any spoilers. I am living vicariously through people playing because the update is not available for the ipad yet. 😭😭😭

Samson Samsonite Sammy Sam Sam boi. Looking saur baby gorl 💅 with his lil beanie. I'm mostly surprised he was able to fit all that hair underneath his hat hahaha. Also can't help it but also draw his other 2/3s.

*Boss is at 1HP*

Me, the DM: Bard, your turn

Bard: I cast Dissonant Whispers

Me: Okay, tell me how you kill him with it?

Bard: I rickroll him

that one part from indigo disk, but make it even MORE dramatic

IT'S FINALLY DONE — !! I know there's a lot of mistakes but heck my mind is too tired at this point

I've been thinking about Mollymauk, as I'm periodically wont to do, and the fandom discussion about him as a moral compass. Because the interesting thing here is, Molly wasn’t a very moral character. He was an unrepentant scammer. He had no respect for interpersonal boundaries and would deliberately push and break them. Generally, he was an asshole. As far as actually having a strong moral stance I would say Fjord was the standout of early m9, and to some extent Beau.

But here’s the thing: almost all of early m9 thought of themselves as horrible people. Fjord had been bullied so bad growing up that he still dealt with self-hate from it, and now suffered from survivor's guilt to boot. Caleb had killed his own parents. Beau, while she hated her dad, also had internalized self-hate and on some level thought she’d been such a shitty daughter she deserved his treatment. Nott was stuck in a body she considered monstrous. Yasha had survivor's guilt and knew she’d done bad things in her blank spots. Even when they did good, they didn’t think of themselves as good. Most of them were suspicious and asocial and faced the world with the same kind of distrust they expected to be (and were experienced in being) met with. (Jester was an exception, an agent of neither good nor bad but of amoral chaos)

But Molly was different. He was outspoken about loving life and people. He wanted to spread joy, even to people he didnt know or had even met: he slipped coin into people's pockets, hid a silver in a tree just so some stranger would one day be happy to find it. He openly cared for the party early on; was one of the first to step in and help Caleb when he went catatonic in battle. Above all, Molly had rules: where everyone else would agonize over what was the right or wrong or smart thing to do, Molly loudly proclaimed we don't leave people behind, and we leave every place better than we found it.

But the thing about Molly’s rules was, they were largely a cover. While the rest of the m9 thought they were bad even as they did good, Molly thought of himself as good even as he did bad. He scammed people, but made it a good and memorable experience, therefore thinking he gave more than he took. He charmed Nott and Fjord without consent, and when confronted would claim it was to help them. Out of the group, Beau saw through this, not because she was a better person but because she was a cynic. She saw that he caused harm, just as she did, and was personally affronted that he still thought of himself as good and tried to leave people happy, whereas she deliberately left every place worse than she found it.

I see Molly as a moral compass of the group not because he was actually any more moral than them, but because they made him their template. He was joy and brightness and he died trying to save them because it was the right thing to do, and they all chose to honor him by emulating his rules more than Molly himself ever did, because to them it was more than just a cover, backed up by genuine moral thought and discussion rather than small gestures. He taught them that it was possible to be kind of a shit person and still be good, to still love yourself and others. The idealized Molly they created never existed, and finally died for good when they resurrected him in the end and were met with a stranger, who they welcomed with the same love and care they would've expected Molly to show them.
