53xy83457 - QA

Posted by Aalasteir - 12 days ago


@53xy83457 - @Aalasteir (Q)


Q: How did you start using the Internet, and when did you discover Newgrounds? And why did you join?


Got a computer for Christmas. When Alien Hominid came out on PS2. Help ignore the voices.



Q: How do you feel the community on here has changed?


Obviously I preferred the good old days fifteen or so years ago when everybody was a cunt. And even ten years ago when nobody was here but somehow everybody was still a cunt. People are more friendly and inclusive now. Guess I'll just have to learn to deal with that.



Q: How did you get interested in creating art?


Not an artist. This is embarrassing, did you send these to the wrong person?



Q: The story behind your name: 53xy83457


Christmas play.



Q: What is it like to run your Combat League?


It's alright. Think I'd like to move on to something new soon though. Probably a combat league.



Q: What do you like about Mega Man?


Never even played Mega Man, what are you on about?



Q: Where does your passion for the NG community come from?


Calm down, I only like the NG community as a friend. In all seriousness, where else is there? Twitter sucks, Reddit sucks, Facebook... haven't been on it in a decade but my racist aunt says it sucks.



Q: Your experiences with game development. What is it like making games using Flash?


Really good for the aforementioned fight simulations, etc. For game development, I'd maybe recommend an alternative whose own creators (and apparently the whole universe in general) aren't repeatedly trying to destroy it. Game Maker seems alright from what I've seen. Unity can fuck off, I know that much.



Q: Your advice for artists


When I was growing up, there was this small bit of the carpet in the living room that had worn away. It was basically a black stain on the concrete underneath it. Don't know why it took so long for anybody to replace it in hindsight. Anyway, obviously I fell in the perfect position to crack the back of my skull off it... TWICE!! My point is, therefore or otherwise, maybe my brain works different but when I get an idea, NOTHING CAN STOP ME! So, I don't know, Shia LaBeouf meme, I suppose.

Really curious about that Christmas play now @53xy83457 XD

Some somewhat short answers here hmm... but fun read. And that Shia LaBeouf meme really delivers, I think I found my new goto motivator...

Glad you found the grounds 53xy83457! And you are a real artist! Pixel perfection.

@Cyberdevil Feel free to ask if you'd like any clarification on the shorter answers and I'd be more than happy to explain further. Apart from the Christmas play one.

@53xy83457 All but the most pertinent and important of all these questions huh. XD

I am curious how you actually did get interested in creating your crafts too though - how did this all start for you? Pixel art first? Games first? NG first and foremost?

@Cyberdevil Before all the fictional combat leagues, it was mostly games. The pixel art started somewhere in between. Before Newgrounds I doodled a load of stuff, if you scroll back to the first game, it was in the style of that... apart from one project.... WHICH WAS A FICTIONAL COMBAT LEAGUE!!

(That surprised even me, really had to power through the untreated concussions to revive that memory!)

@53xy83457 Appreciate it. :) Origin stories are fascinating. It started way way back huh, the chosen path, the destiny of this combat craft you're more and more a master of now!

(Really is unfortunate if you do have memory issues from those hard hits though! At least we're getting all these good games... focus on creative craft ingrained, memory loss, the cost of flossing, of staying prolific; engrossed and awesome, the boss remains)
