The only things I know that look like this are in genus Heptapleurum (formerly Schefflera), specifically H. actinophyllum and H. arboricola. That genus is in the family you mentioned so that’d be my first guess.

Your mentioning using stuff from tlieset packs (which I presume you made) actually made me wonder about something – I’m definitely not a skilled visual artist myself, but I do have various very well-made asset packs that I’ve picked up over the years (mainly due to the giant bundles on itch.io), so maybe I could actually try stitching a scene together from them sometime. Could be a fun way to spend an hour or two when bored, and I could do something with these purchases while also being able to show off the work of a variety of pixel artists to friends.

The way Mario seems to teleport when turning around in the water seems to say something about the way hitboxes worked in the original DKC1.

Yeah I saw “mushroom in soil” and my first thought was “does that mean it’s too moist?”.

But whether that’s the case depends on the plant that’s growing in it, of course.

Thanks for the encouragement to just jump in and do stuff, gaming and otherwise.

I’ve found myself having a hard time finding dedicated time to play games (i.e. without worrying about something else “over my shoulder”) and I’ve also found myself seemingly unable to “learn” new genres of games despite my wanting to get into them (so I often end up playing genres I’m already familiar with). I suspect these are related, and I also suspect that just jumping in and doing stuff more spontaneously will probably help improve things.

Congratulations!

Update: the city of Plantation has just added an event!

Project: City of Plantation note: only covers Plantation Preserve Linear Trail and Golf Course special event: September 9, 9am ~ 11am

Again, note that the project covers the whole month, even though the special event is on a particular day.

Oh, you might already know this but I just wanted to mention that there’s City Nature Challenge in May, which is also a BioBlitz run in a bunch of different places (similar to the Parks for Pollinators event in that regard).

Yeah, there’s a variety of BioBlitz events; this one just happens to be one of the bigger sets of events.

And thanks for the extra info!

Well, it seems the Lila’s Sky Arc key has been claimed, and/or I’m not figuring out what Theta is.

Thanks for offering it anyway.

Woohoo! We did it! With (literally) more heart than originally planned!

Thank you to everyone who helped out!

Well I accidentally made a heart shape with the lower O.

Now I kinda wanna keep it lol

By far, the games of Nihon Falcom.

Ooh, yeah, good point.

Always good to see two of my interests intersecting :D

Anyway yeah I love playing older games and low-hardware-requirements games. I find that they’re also generally more accessible because of that.

And there’s far more games than anyone will ever play in a lifetime. Not even all the games one wants to play.

There are maybe some concerns that older hardware does use more electricity, but that’s probably more than made up by not buying new devices, unless you’re using them very heavily.

I haven’t played the game(s?) they’re from but these are quite adorable!

Ah yeah, that makes sense too now that I think about it. It’s also a noteworthy piece of wordplay, given how close both words are.

You make a good point.
