Thank you so much! I hope you’re right!! 😅

Thank you!! Im excited and terrified all at once, but overall looking forward to fatherhood! As for the nursery, we’re both really happy with how it came out! I ran out of time to do a mural, but I’m still planning to do it in the next few months! This is the current WIP concept, bit of Mario inspo:

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Just finished Star Wars: Zero Company. Absolutely loved it; all the things I loved about XCOM paired with great characters, lots of customization, and even a good story! Hell of job, Bit Reactor team. Wish we lived in a world where you all got raises and bonuses instead of layoffs and furloughs. 🫠

GameChops and DJ Cutman under attack by Materia Collective is disgusting. This needs to be bigger news.

They got me. Toby, if you’re out there, I’d like to share my side of this story with you. I’ve been a fan for 10 years, and thought I had stuck by your fan policy.

Your channel, "Dj Cutman", was terminated because it received 3 or more copyright strikes

We’re suing Materia Music. They are attempting to takedown our 600k YouTube channel, DMCA’d our licensed albums, lied to the public, and have been threatening me over email for a year. This should concern anyone who enjoys video game music or creates fan content. Read our suit GameChops.com/getem

Now that Nintendo's finally got the Mario Kart World soundtrack up on their music app I'm finally making use of the service. I'm gonna need them to add the Super Smash Bros Ultimate soundtrack soon though. Or at the very least give me Advance Wars Reboot Camp.

I've been using Adobe Illustrator for years...to this day I have no idea what 9-slice scaling is, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.

And it's finished! It was a lot of effort, but every single .VID file has been decoded and re-encoded to FFV1 for long-term archiving! I documented the whole process + stored all code here: github.com/niemasd/VID1...

Late sharing this, but what’s a month after a few decades of waiting? Thanks to the efforts of @niema.net we’ve finally got a way to decode the Nintendo GameCube .VID codec! More info to come soon, plus an interview with Niema about his work! Thanks so much for all the help!

I don’t always preorder games and consoles, but when I do, I thank @wario64.bsky.social for the ability to do so at all. Without Wario the scalpers and bots would have won.

Where’s my Star Tropics HD remake? And I want Mole Mania 2, dammit! 0 stars, Nintendo. I will never buy a Nintendo again. (This is sarcasm but I would actually love to see both those games make a return)

Zelda yesterday and Metroid today? Am I dreaming?

Welp, Ocarina of Time looks friggin incredible. I can’t help but be curious to see if there’s any new content hiding in the game, but I’m perfectly happy with a faithful remake too. Can’t wait for November!

I think to effectively call out and mock someone like Trump, you need merely go over the insane amount of terrible things he says, does, and believes. You don't *need* to bring his weight or looks into it, unless it's to directly highlight his own delusions. And even then, I'd say be careful.

I just very distinctly heard the TF2 Engineer “nope” sound clip in a radio ad for a local lawyer. Surely they should know better?

That’s not just a good title slide for a presentation, this absolute legend just delivered an entire presentation rhymed exactly like a Dr Seuss book. Anyone know any illustrators who can draw in the Seuss style? This deserves to be illustrated and printed. Well done, Ethan!

Thank you Phil, not only for a great talk but for the added reassurance that prioritization of your time and getting things “good enough” is ok! Perfection can be the enemy of progress, and we all have a lot of things to balance! Also that Pokémon card is top notch 🏆

Great talking with you at Save the Games! We spoke about a few people to touch base with but I know I’ve got a few more, so I’ll make a list for you this week!

In Rochester this week for the #SaveTheGames conference, and figured we’d spend today wandering through the Strong Museum of Play. I knew this place was going to be cool, but it surpassed even my wildest hopes! The Strong is seriously awesome, and I can’t wait to come back with a kid one day!

It’s true, I do I more raw fruit than cooked. Funnily enough, my spouse is the opposite! They have an allergic reaction to many fruits and vegetables unless they are cooked first, even if only lightly! Biology is wild.

I still remember little 6 year old me gazing up at the Mario 64 kiosk at Toys R Us, utterly in AWE of the fact that I was moving Mario in 3D. It was mind-blowing.

This is so cool. If I had infinite money I would bankroll a project to recreate E3 in a virtual interactive environment. Getting to browse the floor recreated from floor plans, see booths reconstructed from photos and videos, and jump to photo angles just like this!
