Every so often I go back to this one just to remind myself I'm still alive.

Ecca Vandal's LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO UNFOLLOW is going to be pretty hard to top as my album of the year.

Album art for Ecca Vandal's LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO UNFOLLOW. It depicts a blue-haired Ecca in a bathroom, sitting in a bath and wearing headpones. The bathroom is littered with various items, including a partly-demolished cake sitting in the sink.

Disappointing to see even Paul Simon is now promoting this awful technology.

Can't stop making 'em! Yet another sci-fi roguelike concept! This time it's with 2x2 tiles, rather than 1x1. #roguelike #pixelart #C64 #Commodore64

In 1996, Nintendo was seemingly very fond of a single particular stock photo of the sky, so that it ended up on the cartridge artwork of three different games released in that year: Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, and Pilotwings 64.

Slow down, everyone! I'm having trouble keeping up and liking all of your hilarious Joe Rogan similes right now.

Adding #scamble style levels into my #picotron #moonpatrol. Randomly generated landscape (seeded so I can repeat layouts) and rockets. I think it'll fit in pretty well. Nice to mix it up. #gamedev #retrogaming #arcade

Pretty happy with this waterfall effect created with a 4-character animation loop, and two "planes" of graphic moving at different speeds within in the same character. #pixelart #C64 #Commodore64

Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.

Released a small #C64 demo dubbed "Wobble" and that's all it does: wobble. Big thx to Flotsam for making a neat and wobbly track for it. Enjoy. Download: csdb.dk/release/?id=... Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfYW...

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

Until recently, I'd been off social media for quite a while; that doesn't mean I wasn't toiling away on #PETSCII ideas in the background the whole time. #C64 #Commodore64 #pixelart #textmode

New article time! The Amiga family of computers have just turned 40 - and are still deeply misunderstood and underappreciated. So let's use this anniversary to look at Sword of Sodan, a game that is perhaps the epitome of this sad phenomenon: kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2025/07/27/s...

Sword of Sodan: Comes out fighting

This game left a strong impression on me so very many years ago—how could it not? Fantasy hack and slash action rarely looks as good as this. The playable characters were heroes in the classic Cona…

I am delighted to announce that I've 3D scanned the complete Super Mario Land keshi figure series, originally released by Bandai in Japan in 1989! All 21 of these vintage Mario toys--from Daisy to Tatanga, and everyone in between--can now be downloaded here: archive.org/details/kesh...

A 2D first person dungeon crawler, made in 3 days for the Ludum Dare game jam. Isn't it funny that we used to call these "3D" games? It's not even billboards, it's sprites. #indiedev

NEW VIDEO TIME! With its 30th anniversary happening a few weeks back, it made it the right time to dive into Air Combat on PlayStation, the first in what'd become the Ace Combat home series. But how's it stack up from someone coming it from those later games? www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mLN...

@drewwise.bsky.social Was away on holiday recently and had a stranger who was obviously a big F-Zero fan come up to me to ask about my FALCON-0 shirt. Just thought you should know! (I love that shirt, and your work in general!)
