Adding edge tiles and making the water tiles animated makes a HUGE difference.

Water and edge tiles were stolen from Phantasy Star I but I suck at making edge tiles.

@lanodan These might make good stock video game sound effects. Maybe you should upload them to OpenGameArt.

@ChristiJunior @verita84 Watching SJW Bernie Bros reacting to his endorsement was fun to watch though.

@judgedread @TurboNormie NazBol is mostly a meme to troll SJW commies. I don't know why you obsess about them so much.

@matrix The pedophile problem here is already bad enough. Now, we're going to have an incest problem.

Democracy is when 51% of the population thinks you should be put in a concentration camp.

I wish I wasn't spending my early adulthood in one of the most politically divisive times. I would probably be a lot less distracted and a lot less depressed. And I would probably be better off as a result.

the problem with practice is that it sucks and thus literally everything else seems more appealing

re: Old Mobile Phones 

@okabe_rintarou I'm honestly more of a fan of PDAs. LGR has reviewed a couple and they seem to be really comfy. I just like to think what it would be like living in the early 2000s and experiencing Internet and computing in the palm of your hands.

My Dad owned a couple of Palm PDAs. I always thought they were the coolest things in the world.

>Do you have any fond feelings towards it?

Not really. I really wanted a smartphone, but my parents couldn't afford a data plan at the time. I really didn't take advantage of the additional features either. It was mainly for calling my parents to be picked up after extra-circular activities.

Though now, that I think about it, I am getting pretty nostalgic for it's music player. It didn't do much but it's bass filter gave me a greater appreciation for baselines in music.

>Were there any themes (the orange theme in the photos is a bit hard on my eyes)?

They only had the orange or green theme initially, but a firmware update later changed the orange theme to blue for whatever reason.

>Did you try to browse on the internet with it?
No because I didn't have a data plan and I think without one they charge something like 10 cents per megabyte. I did use the social network app but it was really just a front-end for Facebook's and Twitter's post via SMS feature.

>I couldn't find any info on the operating system that ran with

It's probably some custom firmware just like most other feature phones. I think it ran Java when it came to the downloadable apps (which I never used and were probably just games). It got the job done. Since, you're most likely not downloading a bunch of stuff on there, you wouldn't expect it to slow down.

I ended up breaking the micro-usb port on the thing so I wasn't able to charge it anymore. I was actually phoneless for a few months. It was really bad because I started driving around the same time, so I had no way of making an emergency call if were to get in an accident. It also sucked because I also used the thing as a flash drive. I used to write games in Windows batch files and I would store them on the phone because I had nowhere else to store them, but now they are lost to time.
