It always pains me to see romhacks and homebrew console projects with embarrassingly bad programmer-art fonts, or fonts (sometimes ugly ones) taken from other games.
If you're making a romhack or other project that needs (or even just kinda wants) a new bitmap font, don't let your confidence in your code, music, or even pixel art convince you that you can throw something together solo and have it look decent. Please talk to someone experienced. It doesn't even have to be me. (But it could be!)
oh btw if you wanna throw someone money because you like this Mastodon thing, the @Tusky team has a Patreon and they do great work

"Whosoever leaves their sword in this anvil and this stone, they are the rightful ruler of this land."
The assembled knights shook their heads.
"Give up my sword? Never!"

"There, you have written Azth'loh. Summons an editor, not a demon."
"I know."

"Siri, can you write me a love poem?"
"Do you mean a poem to you, or for you?"
"Just write a poem as if it was to someone you love, then read it to me."
"I am sorry, but I cannot do that."
"Is it too hard to write?"
"You are not equipped to comprehend what I write to one I love."

"Is this your hoard?" the princess asked.
The dragon beamed. "It is, and it is unique."
"Ooh 'The Hobbit'! And 'Beowulf' and 'Guards! Guards!'? Nice. And 'Loom', I haven't played that in ages. But, uh, lots of people collect books and films and games."
"These all have hoards."

"Fear not, fair maiden," the knight said, "I shall free you."
"Go away," said the woman, "I'm bait."
"What?"
"This is the dragon's clever plan to meet you."
"Meet me?"
"Yes, he saw you fight someone and was smitten."
"He did? I mean, he was?"
"Go!"
"This dragon, is he handsome?"
