PictoChat

this is the best thing ever conceptually. but I never had friends to talk to, and the range wasn't that good. I need something like it to exist now. I investigated making a clone of it for android, that would use local communication like the original. I think this is theoretically possible, but programming for android would be a massive misery. what a travesty it was that it was not included on the 3DS. (though, to be fair, it had it's own thing that was kind of cool). in any case, if you have CFW, it is possible to install pictochat on a 3DS! I won't link it directly, but I imagine you have sufficient ingenuity to find the CIA file yourself. maybe as an adult I might manage to arrange a pictochat party with my severely nerdy friends.

this was my childhood twitter

I need to add an iframe of this on my site immediately

the rainbow pen made me crazy

me and my cousins were neck-deep in this shit!!

when I think about it, this was probably my first experience of digital illustration via tool held in hand like a pencil. previously I just drew with my trackpad or computer mouse, which I still like to do sometimes. I think the keyboard typeface is beautiful and I loved the simple, stamp-able emoticons. I'd like to make more things that look like this interface
