I grew up watching Saved by the Bell. Hell, I still watch it on the background while I’m working on projects. Here’s a cover of the theme song we recorded during Covid. RIP, Dennis Haskins. Thanks for being the school principal everyone wanted. #theisolatedincidents #coversong

Happy 35th Anniversary to this beast. When I first heard this album, I didn’t even know what to make of it. It was aggressive in a way that I couldn’t describe, and somehow still really catchy. I honestly didn’t know if I even liked it at first. Cheers, #nirvana ! #nevermind

I just walked into a Baskin Robbins here in Walnut Creek, and they were playing the Dark World theme music from A Link to the Past in the background. Made my day. #zelda #snes

I remember using a NES Advantage at a friend’s house once, and my inner monologue review was “…why”. Still, what a sharp looking ad! •••• #nes #nesadvantage #toysrus #retrogaming #ad

Anyone notice that in the show Dark Matter, when they show different universes, they use the Nintendo Switch sound effect? They didn’t even bother changing the pitch 😂😆. It’s just the same exact snap sound effect. #darkmatter #appletv

There’s no delusion of grandeur here. I just make games that make me smile as I make them. Some folks also enjoyed them, so thank you for playing! If you like quirky, the Jim & Dill NES trilogy is available digitally (itch. io) and physically. Cheers! 🤘❤️ www.dalyengames.com/product-page...

Nintendo Directs have become sort of like gaming’s Apple Events… I used to make time to tune in and be wowed, and now I just browse bullet point lists to see the same stuff year after year, just newer. 🤷‍♂️

I was actually making decent progress on a game that I’m working on, but my band wanted to play more shows 🤷‍♂️. No joke, I was knee-deep in level design when I had to head out to play 3.5 hours last Saturday. 🤘🎸#alternativeending #nesdev #90scoverband #everlong #danville

I recently acquired this 9” Zenith CRT, which means I immediately drove to Phoenix Games and grabbed a NES Zapper. Tonight tho, is some Karate Kid. If you’re in the San Francisco Bay Area, & need of a beautiful CRT, @dadsgarage.tv is the IG account to follow #nes #tv #crt #bayarea #phoenixgames

Finding time to work on a game is difficult. Getting motivated is also difficult. Managed to keep carbine both of those things for a little bit this morning. Here’s some annoying dungeon bats. #nes #indiegame #nesdev #pirate #calgames

Watching the new @metaljesusrocks.bsky.social video about a big video game collection… I miss the days when akkost no one cared about this stuff. Not for cost reasons, but because I don’t find it as fun anymore. It’s not about “omg remember this game?” and more about “dude this is worth $!”

This weekend I visited the mall where I used to go as a kid, and it’s weird: obviously music stores left a long time ago, but I guess Game Stop finally closed recently. So there’s zero game stores now (there used to be like, 3).

This Lego X-Files set is awesome. The only thing keeping me from buying it today is the fact that Legos are for rich people, apparently. Why is a bunch of plastic $200??

I played in bands and wrote songs from about 1995 to 2006 (nowadays it’s a cover band and various goofy projects). A record I did in 2004 is finally up on all streaming platforms and iTunes. It only took 22 years, but it got there! #parkway #claylancaster #thisiswhereithappened
