Gradius III SA-1 is one my most proud ROM hacks. Zero slowdown. Gameplay fluid as a rocket. You can either play it unlocked (60 FPS and harder) or play the Origin version (60 FPS with speed controls for fair difficulty). It's available for download and works on real hardware.

This is Super Metroid on the SA-1 chip. No music yet, but SFX plays, opening works. Impressive that even with SFX only the opening is dark and the ambience hits hard. Been working the entire weekend on this (among with SimCity multi-languages). Hope to share more scenes soon.

We finished this shot near the end of production—it was one of the most straightforward shots I was a part of. The most back-and-forth between the director and us was about the placement, brightness & size of the star that is in the sky. Animating all the little glints and flares was a lot of fun.

So far in 2026, I've watched the newest seasons of Pluribus, I Love LA, Chicago Med, Shrinking, The Pitt, Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Hacks and Widow's Bay and keep wondering when I'm going to come across a new show with "desaturated flat gray sludge" cinematography

The difficulty level of the one-two-punch of "X-Men: First Class" (re-cast prequel!) and "X-Men: Days of Future Past" (mixing old and new casts+time travel!) cannot be understated. The fact that these two movies are as good as they are is something special.

I've seen 14 movies released in 2026 so far and none of them had cinematography that was "flat, no-contrast, grey sludge" lighting and color grading. I ask again, what movies are people watching, because all these film influencers keep saying that every movie looks bad these days.

These pictures were 902 days apart. Same park. I don't know which is cuter. For years I had hoped to be able to capture ducklings at this park at sunset, and due to park constructions and dedication, it finally happened this week. May your dedication rewarded with such cuteness as well. 🥰 🪶 🐣

Sometimes I see something in nature and then spend the next several years waiting for the shot. Sometimes I never get it. Sometimes you see it and a week later you land it: I give you tonight's murder of crows in front of the sunset. 🪶

if you suffer from motion sickness with first-person games, please try one of our "motion reduction overlays" in Big Walk — crosshair, frame, or both. this is experimental, but we really want to improve this accessibility issue. give it a bit of time (if you can) then report back!! here's "both":
