My grandma is still daily driving my ancient Galaxy S5 Neo. When someone says thinness is opposed to removable battery, or water resistance, or headphone jack, or durability, or SD card... I always think of it.
Make the sprites as good as you can within a reasonable amount of time. Don't stress too much about it. You can always do a second pass later on. And even if you decide to pay a professional artist, your sprites would still be useful as a vehicle for communicating your vision.
Yes! There are many issues hiding in any sprite art that will only become evident when you see it all together. Don't draw a dozen dudes wearing browm boots only to find they clash with the colors you used on a dozen terrain tiles.
Well, he's right in the context of HN audience. But normies are people too, and so are children, and so are 90-year-old grandmas who want to stay in touch with younger family members. If we don't push back against the brainrot, it may very well run our society into the ground.
