Hello, my name is Popo.
I like to make art, particularly that of pixel art. Over the years, I've worked on a few fangames, several Rivals of Aether mods, done a few banners for /r/fivenightsatfreddys, and have started my own youtube channel discussing topics that I like.

IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN TWO WEEKS SINCE I FINISHED MY ICE CLIMBER VIDEO, WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S ANOTHER VERSION OF ICE CLIMBER IN ANIMAL CROSSING???
ARE YOU ACTUALLY KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW???

While I still find it a pretty unfitting stage to have in a game centered around Shadow's character, it's honestly one of the strongest stages in the game just due to how well they went about adapting it into a more traditional Sonic stage.
It's easily one of the stages I've replayed the most.

Been seeing several peeps do the whole "ten games to get to know me", so I thought I'd give it a try.
I feel these choices are pretty accurate for myself.

Huge congrats to both of you!

They cooked incredibly hard for their first fully original Springtrap variant, love how he takes cues from the other Springs while still managing to stand out on his own and fit with the rest of the Blighted cosmetics they've done before.
Easily one of the most unique Springs we've ever gotten.

Finally finished my newest video which is a look back at Ice Climber and its various re-releases from over the years.
This is my longest video to date as well, as well as the most ambitious with the art and editing. Hope you enjoy!

You got a pretty epic collection, the statue especially is pretty sweet.

Hello, Jenny.

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 21d

One moment you're making a theory video about the size of Luigi's dick, the next moment you're playing Toy Bonnie in a Five Nights at Freddy's movie.

Super excited for whenever the Sonic DLC pack releases, I am going to be playing that Day 1 no doubt.
Very recommend this game to anyone if they haven't played it yet, can not stress it enough. Easily one of my favorite games I've played this year.

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 22d

more fun. I actually look forward to revisiting it the next time I go through the game.
Also, I'm glad I got the game on Switch. Spent my whole playthrough using the Toc-Man costume because it's so cool..

And with how infrequent health pieces appear, it makes them a bit too challenging for their own good at points.

However, I'd say the game's biggest improvement would definitely be the first Ocean stages. Letting the player actually control Pac-Man and have swim around normally makes them so much-

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 22d

As for the bosses, they're a great upgrade from the original in terms of designs, general patterns, and so on but the removal of checkpoints in between each phase is bizarre.
Especially when they have a mission all about not dying once, even though you get sent back to the very start if you lose.

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 22d

I'd say my only issues that I hope get addressed in a future update would be the time trials and bosses.

Gold Medals being required for 100% is pretty eh given how strict a lot of them can be. I think Bronze should have been the requirement and Gold be bragging rights.

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 22d

It feels surreal to see a game like this add so much content that wasn't there before but also be incredibly affordable in a time where companies feel fine releasing bare minimum ports at 40-70.
I had a big grin throughout most of my playthrough, especially with the post game secret boss.

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 22d

the table is a very welcomed inclusion. The new moves in Pac-Man's moveset, the return of Pac-Man's characterization from World 3, the mission system and unlockable costumes, the entire post game campaign, and so on.

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 22d

I have finally finished Pac-Man World 2 Re-PAC and I can safely say it was more than well worth the wait.
It takes a game that I found charming and fun but very flawed and lacking in polish and turns it into one of the strongest entries to come out of the franchise.
Everything new it brings to-

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 24d

All in all, I'd say the highlights of the game were.
- Ghost Town is the best designed stage of the game.
- A few tracks are pretty good (Fist Bump, Infinite's theme, Death Egg Robot Phase 2, etc)
- Making the Avatar
Springtrap and Sonic are now canonically best friends, I don't make the rules.

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 24d

likely never get another chance at a game where Eggman has taken over the planet cause that was Forces' thing.
And the worst part is that a remake wouldn't be able to fix the issues with the game, you'd have to start over from the ground up cause the game is so fundamentally flawed to its core.

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 24d

far worse in every aspect. The level design, the presentation, the story, the characters, how the game feels to play, and so on is just a massive step back from what came before.
Which sucks to say cause I still think Sonic Forces has one of the best premises of the entire franchise and we will-

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 24d

Recently went through Sonic Forces again for the first time in years so I could stream it for my friend.
I left this playthrough liking it even less than I did before. This game barely feels like it has any creative bone in its body and everything it takes from the rest of the series is just done-

Of all the guest characters in Crossworlds, SpongeBob is the one I will never be able to shut up about. My 10 year old self dreamt of this day and the fact it's actually real is still surreal to me.

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · Sep 24

Yeah, I'm not really sold on what I've been seeing so far. I'm still pretty cautious due to how the game was in its previous states and how easy they could mess up the core gimmick I feel.
Would love to be proven wrong but I ain't counting on it.
