This is so cool! The Star Wars roguelite racer with a story? You're the perfect fit for something like this! Congrats!

Did anyone ever have this? I have never seen one before; honestly never heard of it before yesterday. This is a replacement power cord for an OG Xbox. Apparently it avoids a loose connection issue regarding the power supply/cord. Is this an actual thing?

When I designed the assets for physical copies of Cosmic Star Heroine for PS4 & Vita, I made the manuals as big as allowable per Sony. They hold the record for the most pages of a packed-in manual for both systems at 76! (it's technically a tie with Summon Night 6 iirc). I love doing this stuff!

This post from way back was a joke about the new 3D game getting a remaster, rather than the "original Ninja Gaiden 2," and there being a 4th (3D) game coming. Pleasantly surprised and excited to find out about Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound! FINALLY getting a new 2D ninja gaiden!!!

How easily you forget Videogames used to cost much more Spacewar! was released on the PDP1 in the early 60s. The PDP1 system cost $120,000, which is equivalent to $1,262,268 in 2025. Think about that for a bit!

I wanted to practice/learn/refine my artwork and Chrono Trigger was a wonderful inspiration to do so, here's another pair: #chronotrigger

Chrono Trigger celebrates its 30th anniversary! The game still impresses me to this day, and has been a huge inspiration for my gamedev work all these years. Time to start posting the CT fan art I've made! #chronotrigger

So cool to see renewed interest in the classic action game, Ninja Gaiden 2. It's one of my favorites! Looking forward to finally playing a sequel to this legendary trilogy!
