The music video shows a boy with a floating head and no arms walking toward what appears to be a shark that multiplies itself and can change direction.

An animated commission drawing for an unknown entity about a vaguely defined creature who enjoys video games and is not bothered by lacking arms
This was actually based on an existing four-frame drawing of a different person’s character doing each of these things:
picking out a nes game
blowing in the cartridge
putting it in the system
flopped on a cushion with the tail holding a drink
but from whom permission had not been acquired (nor i think sought) to use which is why its design has pretty much nothing going on apart from lacking arms and having fur; it was difficult enough to figure out how to link all these actions together without diddling about trying to “create” a new character at no extra cost. I don’t consider this a ripoff since those actions are so mundane and corporate-homagey though i still didn’t copy them outright.
hey speaking of going to great lengths to exhibit a preference for overexposed nonsense

it took hours to sort out as the dumb xbox hasn’t turned on for years, even after i bought a replacement power cable, and the box-to-personal computer data transfer tools are sketchy but i now can put my 2010s era skyrim character “Germuduwuru” into a proper windows (7) version of the game. I don’t have TIME to play this rubbish again but it is nice to know that i could.

contrary to a 2013 report, the creature is NOT named “germerduwugu,” although i got my own name changed between then and now so perhaps this corny lizardoid could also. theoretically I could use “console commands” now even to facilitate that. newer versions of the game also have a lot more colorful nonsense to decorate hero characters with but generally you don’t see any of that unless you are deliberately eschewing helmets as it appears i was doing during the second screenshot from a much older save file off of the xbox flash drive, which was substantially easier to access than the main drive, hence why the more desirable data wasn’t on it.

one assumes i could add extra colors also with console commands anyway but in practice it still just looks brown under standard game lighting. This is a “new” hero made since I needed the game to generate an auto-save just to find out what folder to place the old save data into and i couldn’t resist playing with the new lizard features. Plainly i am easily enough entertained that I don’t need games at all.
This latest development also means at last that I can install the “nude argonian patch” and therefore can more thoroughly exhibit my unwillingness to do so.

and this post wasn’t from me
