      @TMNTturtlguy Not a fan of GitHub desktop, pretty much crashed my computer last time I tried to run it.

          @UDb23 Yeah, I chose for the 80s style because I like the 80s. :D

                I usually search up "cool fonts" or "mario fonts" and that's how it gets me directly to the font itself.

                Google is your friend. :D

                    @itsnitro Exactly, search for fonts the same way you'd look for ROMs.

                      here we go, it turned out to not be that hard to make this from the original image without the font, a little microsoft paint action and its done.

                            I would be the happiest man in the world if you could make a Jojo's bizarre adventure Splashscreen.

                                  @spruce_m00se where did the original image come from? "licensed to nintendo of america"? Was this the virtual console version? If it's not, I'm 100% confused.

                                    @felleg you know what? I have no idea, lol, I googled it on my lunch break and just picked the one closest to what I remember. it must be a virtual console version, Im pretty sure Im going to have to change it anyway to the sega version, as thats what I played as a kid. I might make some whitty text for people to read instead of leaving it as normal.

                                    Im half playing with the idea of making an intro video like in the game but with these letters.

                                        @jozzy1 No, photoshop crashed. My hard drive is fine.

                                        I've suffered a few hard drive failures before, they are not fun at all

                                          @lilbud why woudl you lose all your work from photoshop crashing ? surely you have the .psd files still?
                                          I had a hdd drive crash after it tured 13 months old, it wasnt a great experience, I managed to recover all files but one though.

                                            @spruce_m00se I usually attempt to create splashscreens in one shot, no saving. I only recently started saving the files of finished and unfinished splashscreens.

                                            On the topic of HDD failures, I've had a few, including one a few months on my school computer. The hard drive got corrupted and I lost all of my notes for the year.
