im running in this ! an actual, genuine "Speed-Run"

in a lovely, glorious return, i, former WR record holder of hole game will be speedrunning hole game (donut county), but with your help i can speedrun a second, distinct hole game (berry bury berry)

im the second run of the day so !! be ready !!

are you KIDDING ME nillaaaa 😭

oh no you're right actually scrap the whole thing

whattt anarchyyyyyy ily ily 💚😭

A glitchy, pixel sorted hilly and grassy landscape, stemming from the same scene as covered above!

An earlier version of the poster, with fewer elements and a little less cohesiveness in the text and element rendering. Text found within is all the same as previous images in this thread!

a colorless rendering of the corner of the grass scene, achieved by turning off the albedo on the grass. text says "this is the same render, but with only the ambient light"

Here's a couple paths I went down to add texture, and an earlier version of the poster layout

also the spiral notebook was a last minute addition bc i saw the merch provider lady arcaders use has a spiral notebook blank and i simply really want a spiral notebook rn :D

ty all for the kind words !!

A movie style script that says PROTESTOR VIDEO GAMES ARE MEANT TO BE FUN. I DON’T WANT TO LEARN. STOP MAKING ME THINK ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE AND EMPATHY. I JUST WANT TO SHOOT– PEEBS returns, knocking the Protester down and reclaiming the broadcast for themselves. PEEBS Let’s go to break.

The corner of the grass render, with outlined pixel art aliens, over top of a rambling script with online discourse-adjacent bad reads about videogames and how they've begun to have meaning and purpose

and of course I wanted to add a direct nod to the original script @professorburtch.bsky.social wrote and the core concept of like. people being weird and vocal about when videogames have deeper meanings so the . literal script also worked as great texture for the poster (adapted to fit the design!)

a 3d rendering of the corner of a field of grass, with the edges of the square clearly visible, and a handful of grass particles sticking through the bottom of the quad.

i got stuck in making it work and kept thinking "what would @anarchyasf.com do here" (shoutout @fridayclothing.co !! ) and tried to find an angle (tm)

ive always been a fan of the rough edges around videogames and how they reveal the people behind them

so why not be literal :)

four elements on top of a purple backdrop. Two alien creature pixel art elements, and two shape-based elements, in a checkerboarded layout

a screenshot of an unrendered blender scene with a large field of grass

text and graphics over a textured purple background "this is the same guy" A space invaders pixel art character, followed by an arrow and a flip icon, and another pixel art character that looks like stardew valley's junimos I think! "I did this so many times"

A fullscreen render of a field of green grass, with lots of variation in color to give texture to each individual blade!

I figured a great place to start was the little space invaders sprites that have, for whatever reason become tied to videogames ( 👾 )

and i knew i wanted some sort of videogame landscape so i opened up the ol' blender grass field file i made from a tutorial like 5 years ago

a phone-camera picture of an early version of the "VIDEOGAMES should be about NOTHING" text in a photo editing program!

A "gamer shirt" with "I PAUSED MY GAME TO BE HERE" and a nondescript videogame controller on it. The design is camp. Exhibit a.

tldr earlier this year, lady arcaders had their yearly videogame award show -
@lazlotus.bsky.social approached me about making a tshirt out of one of the moments in it !
It started with this design, but I knew it needed more, initially leaning towards campy "dont talk to me while im gaming" shirts

A selection of merch mockups from the Lady Arcaders 4th Anniversary collection, prominently featuring the phrase "VIDEOGAMES should be about NOTHING!" atop various videogame-esque renderings of an open field of grass and small videogame alien pixel characters.

A 3d render of the poster design, framed close up on the text on the bottom portion of the poster design, that reads: EXT. LADY ARCADERS HQ - DAY. videogames are supposed to be FUN. what ever happened to videogames they used to not mean-

A 3D render of the back of the spiral notebook design, which features small alien pixel art characters, simple graphic shapes arranged in a 2 by 2 square with the text "lady arcaders" below it. A cloudscape can be seen behind it.

hi everyone ! im working on cool stuff thats not ready to share yet but in the meantime,
a couple closeups and progress case studies from the @ladyarcaders.com collection i did !

ahh tytyy hi syd !! my recent jump into wanting to do merch-y things like this is in no small part influenced by a lot of the merch design adjacent things you've done ~around and about~ over the last year :O

what !! you're so cool !!!! 😭💚

i am threading a full bts for it and tagging u but thank you for writing the script that started this all >:O

😭😭😭😭

👾 I made a little merch capsule for @ladyarcaders.com !!

Proceeds are going towards future in-person events and keeping operations going for Lady Arcaders, a group that has meant so much to me over the last couple of years 💚💜

ILYILYILYYYYY MY LOVELY LITTLE ICECUBE LAZLOOOO 😭😭💚 i am so thankful and warm this Thursday and every day to get to call you one of my closest friends and be in your corner forever

- incredible dedication to the bit (not pictured)

it was like !! not perfect certainly !! but way better of a starting point for making little adjustments than either of us expected 🙂‍↕️

you're exactly right lmao

that is correct, they're crescent rolls!! a distinction I realize in hindsight is big for the final dish (croissants are more flaky etcetc)

however, indeed, i accept my food crime fate thank you 🙂‍↕️

if this is what being a food criminal tastes like then i think im fine with being wanted internationally

the only evil thing about this is the portion size hoolyyy

tonight we learned that buttery pastry + curry is a really really good combo

This place is not a place of honor... no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here...

dammit its good lmao

hey guess who's doing a music production crash course / hang out stream on Lady Arcaders tomorrow :D

me pointing at the corner of the mildly popular terraria youtuber's community post i had no involvement in that randomly showed up on my feed :

a screenshot of google for "miku pixel art" with four results, one of which is mine

a picture of the same Miku from all of the previous images, but this time in Pixsquare, the program I used to draw it!

this is so fucking cool i love remix culture

apparently also .. it consistently comes up for everyone I've asked in the top 5 results for "Hatsune Miku pixel art" so I'm just sorta sitting in that right now

the internet is so small

A screenshot of a YouTube community post by the user Terrasteel. it's celebrating the 6-month anniversary of a community Minecraft server, with attached images of the spawn town. circled in pink, with arrows and question marks around it, is a pixel art build of Hatsune Miku. ..... my Hatsune Miku pixel art!

A closer cropped version of the image in the previous post, where Hatsune Miku is front and center, her scale in comparison to the city below her is somewhat comical, as blocks in Minecraft naturally are 1 m by 1 meter, and she's, as I happen to have the project file open now, 48 pixels tall.

scrolling through my youtube home feed when all of a sudden

HELLO?? that's my Hatsune Miku pixel art ???

how did she get there !! who let her in !!
