Old video games having palette-swapped characters is actually the exact opposite of being lazy because they’re a result of programmers trying to squeeze every bit of content they could into a piece of hardware that’s less powerful than modern day coffeemakers.
He tried to do a self-aware joke but ended up looking like an ass for trying to drag other artists who pushed their mediums to new boundaries down to the level of making comics with copy paste in the year 2017.
the twitter thread the artist created after this was one of the best situations i have ever seen in my whole life:
Somebody give this ignoramus a piece of actual shark skin and tell him to rub his face with it, let him find out just how “smooth” sharks really are.
Somebody did. I use it as a pillowcase because it’s so smooth.
But buddy.
Shark skin feels exactly like sandpaper. It is made up of tiny teeth-like structures called placoid scales, also known as dermal denticles. These scales point towards the tail and help to reduce friction from surrounding water when the shark swims. … In the opposite direction, it feels very rough like sandpaper.
I always struggled with reading comprehension as a kid and found that recasting the stories with anime and video game characters helped keep me interested. Did anyone else have this same problem? I’m curious as to how you guys overcame it! :)
