YSK: There's an easy way to make retro game memes

Death Generator is an easy generator for changing the text displayed on old game screens.

You should know this because there aren't enough Death Generator memes on Lemmy ;)

I'm disappointed they don't have Mike Jones taking bananas out of his ears:
- idkw but this just made me think of bananaman and now i'm smiling
  
  Now I'm thinking about SuperTed.
- Who?
  
  Protagonist of the NES game "Star Tropics" (and its equally-underrated sequel "Star Tropics: Zoda's Revenge".) The picture above is displayed at the end of the credits after beating the (first) game.
  
  MIKE JONES
  
  How dare you
- That screen didn't have any text, so it doesn't qualify.
Also I absolutely love the random insights/rants/ramblings the creator has on her Mastodon profile while reversing retro tech/retro games.

- I was unaware of this. Foone is great.
- Had this copypasta stuck in my head for no reason just now, and I check my inbox to see this.
  Did not realize lemmy.world federated with my head.
- Solid.
Hell yeah. I saw this yesterday when you first posted about it, immediately sent it to all my friends, and then I've been busy afterward.
- The SOTN one made me wonder what Richter said.
- You wouldn't happen to be a Civvie11 enjoyer, would you?
  
  I can't imagine what might have given it away.
True Gs use Photoshop to make memes. (Pirated of course, cause fuck Adobe.)
- I use Krita
- The effort that goes into adding a game to the Death Generator makes it 100% worth using, even if you can use PS.
- Respect The Gimp Gang, homie!
  
  Not until they completely rewrite it from scratch. The GIMP devs should have done that 20 years ago.
- Is this the graphic design version of using Arch, btw?
I just had way too much fun with this.
- Post 'em!
Truly you are doing the work of mighty Cthulhu.
- Ughhhh this is terrible. Thank you.
Yeah this is bookmarked now
Top shelf post OP
🔥
- I must admit it's not exactly OC, but the original version I saw was AI generated. So I made this quickly and commented it in response, only to realize nobody knew what Death Generator was.
  I simply reused it for an easy image example :P
  
  You're doing the lord's work.
i like draft 2 better but it's big, hence behind spoilers ::: spoiler spoiler

And it's made by the always awesome Foone Turing.
My goodness, I'm loving that link just for the game list. Impressive.
Talk about memory lane endorphins.
Mario is going to have to get his brother on the case.
Op, this is the most delightful post I've seen here in a while. Thank you for sharing this.
is this yours? because it doesn't like zalgo text. but i love it.
- Death Generator was created by the wonderful Foone Turing. And zalgo isn't working because each generator will only have the characters used in-game. So if the game doesn't have the 8 million special characters zalgo uses to accent itself, it won't display.
  
  that makes perfect sense. thank you for the explanation. I guess no shit emojis unless i photoshop them in
  
  This is how I learned that Super Mario Bros. has no comma.
Nice
