I tried downloading an image but it came out wrong for some reason, so I took a screenshot of my 9 games instead.

Here are my 9 games. There are many more! The last one is known as River City Ransom, but there was no cover of the North American version. Some of these games helped me develop an interest in game dev, such as DOOM. I still have the "Tricks of the DOOM Gurus" book (remember that?)
My 9 games that shaped me.

1. Street Fighter 2
2. Zelda: A Link to the Past
3. DOOM
4. Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution
5. Dragon Warrior IV
6. Valkyrie Profile
7. Command & Conquer
8. Mega Man
9. Downtown Nekketsu Story (aka River City Ransom)

For me, I kept doing down + jump to slide since that's how it is for a lot of games. Had to get used to the slide having its own button.

I played the Belmont's Curse demo, and I turned off screen shake because why is there screen shake when you're swinging at nothing?

Mike Murray @mikeadmurray.blacksky.app · 02/10/2026
Modern games have either too much or improper screen shake.

I haven't really found anything like Affinity Designer, and I can't seem to install it via Wine either. 😭 I have a laptop with Windows on it, so I can still use Affinity when I need to. But I'd rather have everything in one place, you know?

Mike Murray @mikeadmurray.blacksky.app · 02/10/2026
I'm on Linux. I miss Affinity Designer and don't want to use Gimp. What are my options?

As I port the code, I'm taking the opportunity to improve what I had before (It's been over a year since I wrote the code). I already made one major revision to dungeon generation, and I plan to make another one with the movement. I hate the old movement code, even though it worked.

Rewriting a game I was working on in Unity to Godot. It's a pain, but I think it'll be worth it in the end.

I've learned not to expect much from people with huge platforms in the FGC. Whenever something happens that can have a negative impact on the community, they'll stay silent instead of bringing awareness.

The first Lufia is pretty standard, but Lufia 2 is a legitimate top SNES RPG. it's up there with the big dogs at the time.

Lately, I've been watching old shows that I missed 20-30 years ago. Recently finished Babylon 5 (great show), and now I'm on Heroes. Currently on season 3 and I'm kinda falling off like 4 episodes in due to dumb subplots.

This week, PlayStation announced that it had pulled out of publishing Hideo Kojima's next game, Physint. But the company didn't give a reason. So I made some calls. Here's why PlayStation bailed and why Xbox snapped Kojima right up: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

We always gotta be the bigger person, because doing the alternative just gives the other side ammo.
