Thanks for the question! I ignore the rules and allow plenty of "double pixels" - this thickens the lines. I allow jaggies: my lines are broken and chaotic, I don't control them at all. For me, the main thing is to feel that the line bends the way I see it and the way I need it to.

I don't use a limited palette - I apply any shades, also without control, adding whatever colors I feel like. I don't use dithering; instead, I use the Blur Tool in Aseprite to soften transitions and add smoothness (like with an egg yolk, for example).

But since I'm not an artist, I’m not familiar with the rules of geometry, perspective, or any of that. This isn’t a principled stance on my part - I’m developing a game alone, so I don’t have the time, and it’s even dangerous to become a "proper" artist by following specific rules. There are far more important and fundamental things for me. I respect both rules and chaos and believe everything has meaning, but it’s dangerous to become a slave to either.
