Timelapse for both!

Pipo Snake Monkey giving the silent thumbs up of approval with a star!

Pipo Snake Toy 🐵

Pipo Snake from Ape Escape 3 as a plush toy / training dummy and bouncing
Crossover DLC that featured Snake from Metal Gear Solid franchise and Pipo Snake

I decided to draw this monkey because I was watching this Ape Escape 3 DLC being streamed and it was just ridiculous and silly ;D

I want a Monkey plush toy…but it won’t be a thing as the Ape Escape game series is not likely to come back…

Also what the – suddenly I get so much reposts and likes on bluesky within 3 hours???

Leonie rambles about…

Just be careful about the Windows 11 update affecting SSDs. This is the japanese person who’s testing and listed which SSDs are affected and not affected (since there’s no official word on this so this is WIP). I share more random art/game things at my discord as usual too!!

Feeling slow to the uptake – one is supposed to not depend on hard drives as much when dealing with active files and software. They should be on SSDs instead…whoops I didn’t do that for files :<

I am not hype for Kirby Air Riders (the direct is not live yet as of writing) as I don’t know if it’s my thing. The first game wasn’t my thing either. I just hope there’s more characters beyond different coloured Kirbies, Dedede and Metaknight…Okay finished watching the direct:

• yeah why is making a game so hard…so real :’)
• I’m happy that there’s more character variety compared to the first game!!
• And everyone gets special and copy abilities!!
• I didn’t click with the first game so I’m concerned that I’m probably not going to click with this one…
• but the animation, characters and Kirby shenanigans though!!!
  • Gooey!! Chef Kawasaki!! The triple D!!
  • it seems like there will be more characters
• the high technical/strategy machine building and racing isn’t really for me :S
• not sure about the EN song as it reminds me of Infinite Nikki‘s theme song…the JP song feels better even though I don’t know what she’s saying
• I hope it’s not just quick races and City Trial mode…as I’m hoping for more modes but I sense that it’s probably not the case 🙁
• the races feel so overwhelming and overstimulating ahhh
• I only played Mario Kart World for a handful of weeks and then I fell off…
• this game is not like Mario Kart World as it’s much more technical with how you choose your air rider character and machine and not for casual players at all
• yeah…not sure if it’s for me as much as I love the Kirby characters and Sakurai :’D
  • so I feel mixed and complicated

I finally finished Miles Edgeworth: Investigations (the first game) finally…! It’s a good game but it felt like it dragged quite a bit. I need to do the second game after a break and after Bananza. And maybe after Kirby and the Forgotten Land DLC.

General note to self:

• I need to remember to communicate more often eep
• there’s also times where I just have to handle things myself anyway or at least firstmost
• also it’s super reassuring and wonderful when you get to chat with people and artists you trust and/or getting to know :’D It’s rare though…
• It’s hard to make times align so the times in between can be lonely and alienating
  • and that you’re not of priority enough to be a regular thing in each other’s life
  • all the better to cherish when catch up chats do happen!!

Also yay for 404 followers on bluesky?? :0

I have terrible grumpy cramps right now, don’t feel well and I am tight on time. I had a stressful/tense start of the morning too but I hid it well…

Continuing to manage my manga addiction because I procrastinate and self sabotage with them…based from my anxieties, loneliness and overwhelm.

Also I am juggling some things with life, work, learning and I need to start Donkey Kong: Bananza asap ahhh

I hope this makes sense as I’m just rambling…!
