A celebration of the less graphically fortunate animals in video games, @lowpolyanimals is the blog you should be following for (literal) creature comforts throughout the day.
Whenever I come across animals in video games, I have some questions I need answering. A checklist of sorts, if you will. Can I pet you? Can I feed you? Or even worse, do I have to fight you? But I recently discovered @lowpolyanimals, which is making me ask new questions. Why is this shark dressed up like a nurse? Why is Momma Bear holding a gun?? And lord help me I’ve fallen in love with the chihuahua from Petz: Dogz 2 how can I break into this game and steal this round baby?
I’m the kind of person who follows Possum Every Hour on Twitter, or Pig Every Hour, or Unsolicited Dik-Diks. I have never followed anyone for that sort of content here on Tumblr (because that’s what Twitter is for) but that all changed the day a picture of some Shiba Inus from Nintendogs appeared on my dashboard. ‘Cute!’ I thought to myself, and reblogged out of guilt for the abandoned dogs on my DS for the nostalgia. From there it just snowballed. Every blog that I follow was reblogging rats, raccoons, and remlits, all from the same source, and I was powerless against the thrall of these video game critters. They’re somewhat crude, either all angles or just extremely Rotund, but that just makes them all the more endearing.
@lowpolyanimals is a submission-driven blog, run by owner Mod Rat, where others like myself gush over our love of low poly animals. I spoke to Mod Rat to find out more, and also to thank them profusely for serving us the best content on this site.
