A (younger)Nintendo employee proudly stated that Mario didn't officially get his name until the Mario Bros. game when I've always known Mario in Donkey Kong.. and I remember a time before Donkey Kong Jr. He's always been Mario.

I'm SO looking forward to this game. We don't seem to get too many NES homebrews from Japanese teams.

I've had SO MANY PEOPLE (honestly, 1, maybe 2) ask for gameplay of my new indie homebrew games from Brazil so here's every game I grabbed from Brazilian publishers. Master System, Mega Drive, Famicom. Watch youtu.be/oRePTZlt8Kw

Maybe I need to wear more sequin suits when I'm in the ring and at conventions.

As if it was tailor-made for me, they're filming a wrestling movie in Portland at a local arcade. I'm playing the role of the ring announcer.

One of the oldest game stores in Brazil is SIL GAMES. Owned and operated by a very loving couple. Adam, Saru, Myself, and others devour their Sega Master System selection for TecToy Master System exclusives. Check it! youtu.be/wbbGzJlBkAc

Brazil is doing great with new indie games on classic consoles. Here are my Master System, Mega Drive, DC, and one NES (famicom) gets from RetroCon developed in Brazil.

It was awesome finally getting to meet @johnriggs.bsky.social in person at SEGE! We ended up talking about all kinds of things, including one of my favorite anime, Case Closed! I wasn’t expecting to find another fan, so that made the conversation even better. Thanks for hanging out!

Someone recently asked me what I do to these banners at conventions. I usually leave'em but sometimes people steal them, I guess (and I'm all for it)

Why it's important to clean your games before popping them into your consoles, even if you just bought them at a convention. Trust nothing.

In the 'i never took you as a guy who cared' department, Xerjoff (my favorite fragrance company) released a collab with Lambo so I imported the samples along with a few others.

Probably 1996 or '97 when I'd solder modchips into my friends PS1s. My workstation hasn't upgraded much from my old bedroom
