*Tiny* pixel art huh? In that case I'm making my next game with a 32x24 resolution and you're not gonna stop me

Kazuko is wearing Muramaku's mask, with the latter in his low form. Mura is visibly (according to the mask itself) angered at Kazu, with him demanding "GIVE THAT MASK *BACK!*", to which Kazu replies "Nope!"

Hey everyone, look! It's that one famous character from that show about a world of Legos or something like that! ... what do you *mean* this isn't the same character?! (Art Fight attack on @check-dot.bsky.social!) #worm #art #artfight

I love how one strawpage message was enough to send you down the Swapnote rabbithole again

An edit of a meme originating from Arthur. D.W.'s face was replaced with the 3DS/Wii U friend icon, and the sign was replaced with an email from Nintendo.

That sign can't stop me because I can't read!

Circle and Pinhead Factoid: Before I restarted the series back in 2023, my friend @cosmictoons.net attempted to make his own reboot back in 2019-2020! It didn't last very long, only having a single comic to its' name. Below are the only things that came out of this reboot. #circleandpinhead #art

A poster teasing CosmicToons' Circle and Pinhead reboot. Pinhead is seen jumping for joy, while Circle looks unamused.

ONE IS SMART,
THE OTHER'S [also smrt]. (The word "STUPID" is crossed out.)

The only comic produced for CosmicToons' Circle and Pinhead reboot, titled "Math Lesson".

(Circle is standing next to his teacher's desk; which has an apple on it.)
Circle: Hello, I am Mr. Circle, and I will be your Math teacher.

(Pinhead is sitting in a student desk.)
Pinhead: Okay!

(Circle points to a whiteboard in the background, which states "1+3=?")
Circle: What is 1+3?

(Pinhead eagerly raises his hand to answer.)
Pinhead: 13!

(Circle stares at Pinhead with a blank expression on his face.)

(Circle points outside of the classroom.)
Circle: Out of my school. Now.

I should really get back to developing Trilogy, huh?

The itch.io page for Potato game. Three. The game was released on June 20th, 2021. The page shows a banner for the game at the top, as well as a few screenshots on the right.

UPDATE: I can confirm, thanks to Brad Colbow's video on the laptop, (youtu.be/STzF3xm-E_I) that the Framework 12 does in fact properly support this tablet mode; I have confidence that most other "convertible" laptops like either it or the Surface all support this mode too.

A still from a Framework 12, showing Windows 11's "tablet mode" in action. The reviewer (Brad Colbow) is currently drawing an image on the screen using a Framework stylus, and the taskbar is currently hidden away.

Finally, there's my long-running joke game series Potato game. It's about the Screaming Potato Head as he goes around defeating random enemies with nothing but his voice. ThreeΔ and the Trilogy demo are my favorites, though definitely check out the rest of the series if you end up liking those two!

Alex Parr @alexparr.net · 15/06/2026

Urban is another game of mine that I'm very fond of. I wouldn't call it my greatest game, though code-wise it's certainly my most complex. It's a simple Galaga-alike with many different aliens to take down. Alongside Kitchen Panic, it's also one of the few games that you can play in your browser!

110

Alex Parr @alexparr.net · 15/06/2026

Kitchen Panic is my most recent game. It's a Game and Watch style game, which I created for fellow artist @famimatsu.bsky.social based on a piece of art they made like a month prior. It's a very simple, yet very difficult game that's basically a combination of Oil Panic and Chef.

And in case anyone's wondering why I call today Screaming Potato Head Day, it was on this particular day that I uploaded the Screamtato's debut video on, of all places, Vimeo! ... yeah I don't remember why either.

The original Vimeo upload for "A dream I had." as shown in the library. The video was uploaded on May 2nd, 2017. The thumbnail shows a still frame from the video.

Recently I actually went and revived my old DSi XL that I bought (and subsequently bricked) like five years ago! I recently learned about how ntrboot works on DSi systems to unbrick them and, funnily enough, this coincided with me receiving a DSpico in the mail. #nintendods #nintendodsi #videogames

A working Nintendo DSi XL in Burgandy. A photo of an old Alex plush is displayed on the top screen, and the Nintendo DSi Camera is selected at the bottom.

The original Tweet I made about bricking this same DSi XL on November 19th, 2020. A picture of the system turned on with black screens is shown.

Part of me thinks I should start posting about more personal things on top of whatever projects I'm working on. On that note, I bought a PC Engine and beat Bonk's Adventure on it recently. #pcengine #turbografx16 #bonk #pcgenjin #videogames

A PC Engine + CD-ROM² + Interface Unit combo. The PC Engine is an original white model, with a Turbo Everdrive V2.5 inserted into the card slot. A standard pad is also connected.

If you don't see a link for my game B!T below this post, it's likely BlueSky is hiding it for being "unsafe". In which case, I call bullcrap because my games don't actually contain viruses. Go to Settings > Moderation > BlueSky Moderation Service and either turn "Unsafe link" off or set it to Warn.

A setting in the BlueSky Moderation Service tab, as shown in mobile.

I believe for games without an upgrade path, they get treated as two different software titles. (i.e. two icons on the home screen) You can tell which game is for which platform by checking the game's About page by pressing Start on the game icon:

The About page for PAC-MAN WORLD 2 Re-PAC on the Nintendo Switch 2.

Software Type: Nintendo Switch 2 Software

Since today is National Lynx Day, I should mention that I got my Switch 2 a couple of days ago and made the only comparison that actually mattered. #nintendo #switch #atari #lynx #videogames

The Nintendo Switch 2 sitting next to the Atari Lynx model II. Not pictured is a comparison between the thickness of each system; the Atari Lynx is about 3.5x thicker than the Nintendo Switch 2.
