"Chimping out" also quite natural. Since "painting is never done" you can choose where to stop in refinement.

In short: each has its pluses and minuses. Hard to tell which one is "right".
Choose which you find more pleasing and less demanding in time.

Drawing B&W first you is useful. You do difficult task of guessing light and shadows first. Although hustle with overlays give you result which you didn't have in mind.

Drawing to sketch to finish is natural. It's how it's done by most people.

Besides PC were RIDICULOUSLY pricey back then.

Well, I hope you won't need salt or pepper. Those are right in the middle of that thing 😄

Well, looking back there weren't a lot of truly *good* games back then. We may look at them with rose tinted glasses, but most of them were unfair cruel torture 😅

Dunno about this Toy Story.
Variety of gameplay (racing, first person maze etc), big sprites without slowdowns... technical marvel, actually.
It was amazing that they managed to fit all of that in SNES/Sega cartridge.
As game... meh. Nothing special.

That's a bit too specific for casual user 😄

Oh, yes.
In period of PSOne (around 1993 to 2006) was somewhat lulled period in first half. Didn't upgraded my VooDoo 16Mb for years.
But in second half such dizzying breakthrough in tech that most people didn't bother to catch up and chose consoles.

LucidARTDVC, Keeper of Useless Knowledge @lucidartdvc.bsky.social · 20h

It's now consoles are gimped PC.
And since you are already hunched over your computer why you even bother with consoles?
Technically only one game makes me wish for console is Bloodborne.
That's it!🤷‍♂️

Well, let's be honest, in days of PSOne reign if you are only about games why would you even wanted PC?
No installation, no hustle with configurations, just stick disk into it and play.
Only very few strategies, adventure games and shooters made you envy of "PC master race".

In this clip of a 1995 Computer Chronicles, we not only get some lovely showcases of the PS1 and Saturn, but also brutal honesty from Stewart as he considers console vs PC gaming.

"It's nice to know when you come home from the store having just spent $50 on a new game, it'll work."

Dave Dorman?
He did covers for Indiana Jones and Star Wars comics in similar style.
Kind of sort of?

LucidARTDVC, Keeper of Useless Knowledge @lucidartdvc.bsky.social · 1d

Yup. Androids. Made as "pleasure dolls", went rogue and became criminals.

Then 90s version is recommended.

To not completely poo-poo 80s version. It has it's moment (for example striptease scene 😏).
Deal is: most of lore Shirow explained in many pages in manga (Which sometimes later collected in separate books)
To just watch OVA viewer will be in constant "WTF?" state😅

Just to be less confusing.
I am not exactly fan of Dominion Tank Police from late 80s.
Dominion Tank Police 2 (or New Dominion Tank Police) from 90s is MUCH better.
Haven't watched Tank S.W.A.T. 01 from 2006 🤷‍♂️

To be fair I am not big fan of OVA. A bit sloppy, a bit directionless and not exactly adaptation.
BUT! wouldn't mind to have all the manga.

We almost at that point saying you into Sonic is less weird glances than saying you into Warhammer.
Maybe even can find new friend who eager to show you their Sonic OCs.😏

And imagine how to like Guard in this environment😐
