She looks a lot like Sachiko here.

My avatar is a completely intentional visual design by the developers who coded the super shotgun to display SHT2J0 for one frame longer while the double barrel shotgun's frame switches from SHT2A0 to SHT2B0 during its fire animation. ;)

I've been using Zdoom and GZdoom for so long that I forgot about that. I miss that little quirk. <Insert Smiley Face Here>

The Batman Who Laughs - always wins. That's the story

The Big Core is the notoriously easy main boss from Konami's iconic 1985 horizontal space shooter "Gradius".  Gradius is also known outside of Japan as "Nemesis".  You get to fight the Big Core in 5 of the game's 7 levels.  It also appears in Gradius 2 (aka Vulcan Venture outside of Japan) during that game's boss rush and is parodied in Konami's official Gradius parodies known as "Parodius".

 

The Big Core was also heavily referenced in many of Konami's other iconic 1980s games, such as the NES version of Blades of Steel, where he appears during the Intermission screens.

Don't change it. It stands out, perhaps due to the lack of colour. Even though I have never met you it just seems to fit for some reason.

 

Thanks :3 .

 

But it doesn't lack color. It may not be extremely colorful but color is there, as you can see on the shadowed eyes and the tie.

 

This is what I cropped it from BTW:

I just meant the colour scheme was simpler which makes it stand out, in a good way. Although I did not notice the tie was red, but I can clearly see it in the larger version.

 

Either way, it's a nice avatar. It stands out and I personally think you should stick with it, people come to attach the person with the avatar/name. It's why I dislike changing them unless absolutely necessary. That's enough praise from me though, I'm starting to feel awkward here.

I recently fell in love with BEASTARS, a manga series by Paru Itagaki. My avatar is a cropped screenshot of Legoshi - the protagonist - from the Netflix anime adaptation. :)

2019: This old avatar was the Tyrant from Resident Evil 0, I believe. I thought it looked creepy and awesome.

Literally just a screencap from the Lupin III Pilot Film. I use it because I like the series and the screencap, but also because Lupin is incredibly important historically and has been in circulation almost continuously for fifty years and somehow remains obscure in the west. Any chance I get to plug this series, I will.

Oh, I've seen 8 years ago. It was nice anime.

My avatar is a screenshot of an avant-garde art piece, with png's of bread and, uhm, rožok (? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kifli) on top of it.

The art piece in question is Icarus Map30: Nucleus.

A friend of mine drew it for me, it's Arma from the snes game Demon's Crest but since he didn't draw it with the same face proportions (the originals mouth is longer and less beak like) so i think i could call it my own very special demon :)

Time to reveal the arcane behind my lady-clock avatar, i guess!

My avatar is a looped cutscene gif taken from the videoclip of Italian electro singer myss keta "Una donna che conta" (A woman that counts).

Spoiled video (is a very little NSFW) and a half-assed translation in english of the lyrics
