Noah Poole @noahpoole.bsky.social · 06/10/2026And then later when she gets beheaded she exhales the last of the weed smoke and says “bummer”. A masterpiece of a film for this and so many other reasons. 000
Noah Poole @noahpoole.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I’m trying to concentrate on reading my book, Star Maker by Olaf Stapeldon, but I can’t stop thinking about how in Camp Miasma the Mohawk DJ does bong rips and says ”freak-house bake oven. I mean easy bake freak-house” 100
Noah Poole @noahpoole.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The ability to filter this guide by your zip code is so sick 💪 010
Noah Poole @noahpoole.bsky.social · 28/09/2026As is the case with every game project I finish, I am in complete awe that anyone has ever made a video game. Complete sorcery. How are y’all so talented 000
Noah Poole @noahpoole.bsky.social · 28/09/2026There was a certain point where I had it all like the davemakes tutorial; tables in tables, in theory I could have run one update function to make everything work with perfect physics… but I am not smart enough so I just broke out the broom into its own table and brute forced it. 100
Noah Poole @noahpoole.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Done! noahpoole.itch.io/sick-leaves This is the quickest I’ve ever made a game, I feel drunk with power. And whiskey. This #fallingblockjam entry really helped me improve my pico 8 skills. I was trying to be so tidy and graceful when I started but ended with a mess. But it’s a working mess.noahpoole.itch.ioSick Leaves by noahpooleSweep these leaves off the patio 110
Noah Poole @noahpoole.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Ten hours to go for #fallingblockjam! I'm feeling good, this actually has way more gameplay than I was expecting. Just need to make two modes (free play and score chase), do some UI cleanup, and make some music. Seems doable! 0164
Noah Poole @noahpoole.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Hey thanks!! That’s really good to hear since I basically only have vibes to go on 🤣 Gameplay is gonna be nonexistent, it’s basically a little zen sweeping sandbox and that’s it. Assuming I can get it where I want. 010
Noah Poole @noahpoole.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I'm somehow making progress for this #fallingblockjam. All I need to do is implement broom/leaf physics interactions. I have it set up so far like @mixolumia.com's excellent pico8 breakout tutorial, which I only half understand. Just need to watch it a few more times and I'm sure it'll click 😅 1192
Noah Poole @noahpoole.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I don’t want to be pigeonholed as the romcom concept album guy. I really want to write “serious” metal. But I can’t stop thinking about the 2009 film “Bride Wars” starring Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway. 010
Noah Poole @noahpoole.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I have no idea what you’re trying to do so sorry for the unsolicited advice 😅 But have you used sprite flags? Like set the ladder sprite to 1 and then if sprite flag = 1 then btn up or down will work kinda thing 100
Noah Poole @noahpoole.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Nice progress! Looking good. It can turn into a real rabbit hole for sure, good luck have fun! 010
Noah Poole @noahpoole.bsky.social · 03/09/2026There are some text based tutorials here that i learned a lot from nerdyteachers.com and this guy is currently making some great video tutorials m.youtube.com/@mixolumia?r...nerdyteachers.comNerdy TeachersThe Educational website for PICO-8 news, tools, and tutorials. 110
Noah Poole @noahpoole.bsky.social · 03/09/2026The limitations made it click for me somehow. Hope it does the same for you! My stuff is definitely more interactive art than actual “games”. Here’s one of the more polished ones. noahpoole.itch.io/palm-tree-in...noahpoole.itch.ioPalm Tree Inferno by noahpooleSave the city from the July 4th fireworks 210
Noah Poole @noahpoole.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Then i tried Pico 8 and it’s the first time I actually learned what the hell I’m doing. Deliberately writing every line of code by hand and understanding it all. 110
Noah Poole @noahpoole.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I’ve made a bunch of little games with pico-8, I would highly highly recommend it! I’m not a developer or game maker but I’ve dabbled in a bunch of game engines over the years, but mostly like just googling code and copying and pasting and hoping it works. 110
Noah Poole @noahpoole.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Also I looked up the artist and of course they do NFTs 🤣 000
Noah Poole @noahpoole.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Went to the new LACMA and it was mostly great but I saw some obvious slop, and man, is the art world really all in on AI? 100
Noah Poole @noahpoole.bsky.social · 01/06/2026I recently realized that bandcamp doesn’t make it super clear how to see lyrics, a friend was asking me to send lyrics even though he had the bandcamp link. So I made this. Easy!! weirdneeds.comweirdneeds.comWeird Needs 000
Noah Poole @noahpoole.bsky.social · 01/06/2026So true! Make your own website, it’s not hard. I’ve maintained my own for decades with minimal html knowledge. Claw back control of your art from the technofascists! 010

Noah Poole @noahpoole.bsky.social · 16/04/2026It’s an earnest retelling of the film in black metal form. Track 1 and 2 are about Joe and Kathleen and I worked hard to capture their essences. Track 3 is about how their exes Frank and Patricia are the actual stars of the film. 000
Noah Poole @noahpoole.bsky.social · 16/04/2026I finished my tape!! I’m so proud of this one. weirdneeds.bandcamp.com/album/youve-... 110
Noah Poole @noahpoole.bsky.social · 14/04/2026Printed some home made J Cards for the upcoming album. 010
Noah Poole @noahpoole.bsky.social · 04/04/2026The hard part about mastering is that it brings clarity to the mix and you realize that you suck at every instrument and it’s sloppy as fuck but then conversely it unifies everything and you realize that it’s cohesive and garage recording is a vibe and the riffs are there and it fucking rips 🤘 000
Noah Poole @noahpoole.bsky.social · 04/04/2026Mastering currently, which is difficult but it’s sounding so much better thank I could have hoped! I wanna make Tom and Meg proud. 100
Noah Poole @noahpoole.bsky.social · 04/04/2026I got stickers for my upcoming You’ve Got Mail black metal concept album! 110
Noah Poole @noahpoole.bsky.social · 03/04/2026This is true in vfx too. Roto is the classic example of grunt work that "nobody likes to do", and it's increasingly automated and outsourced. But doing hundreds of hours of roto by hand directly informed my understanding of optics and photography. 010
