California was part of Mexico. The region was a Mexican territory from 1821 until 1848. I wonder if Mexico wants it back now?
Hmmm.... I agree with myself, it is kind of hot today... I wonder when will Germany reach the bronze age or something and invent the air conditioner.

Mobile ACs are sold out right now because people like to panic and pay insane prices in stress situations. A big hose going out of the window while you try to cover all openings around it to prevent hot air from flowing right back in. One neighbor now has one. They bought a styrofoam plate with a hole for the hose and put it in the window. Then remove it a few hours later again. Several times a day. WTF?

In the past AC wasn't needed in Germany for private houses. It took about a whole week for the dreadful heat to make my house unbearably hot.
Having a *real* air conditioning system installed in the house would be prohibitively expensive because it would require extensive structural work --> idea dismissed.

Yeah, I don't like the idea of the portable air conditioner. If I had a house of my own I would sure install the real one though, a small split one just in my bedroom so I can sleep. I haven't been able to sleep properly for more almost 2 weeks already, and it's making me a zombie.

But again, all the face buttons and control pad have light coming from upper left

But the sticks and start/select show light from opposing directions

Yep, fixed that!
Also the POWER font was too big, and there was a 1 pixel gap in the flare part, on top of misaligned R buttons.

All these issues have been adressed.

The "Overlay Maker" software is a bit outdated and has no ZOOM function so is easy to get things misaligned. I have to re-do up to 3 times just to lineup things.

Okay i finished the actual thumbnail, it was slightly rough before.
Some of you might ask how i made it...and that you probably wanted to make a lot of these too. There is no easy way. This was all made from scratch in Affinity and added the shadow and color corrected it in gimp
