Games writers, now is the time to bait a bunch of people into playing a Dizzy game with an article saying “oh you’ve never heard of Dizzy? That says a lot more about you than the egg himself”

we live in a world where "humanity is rotten to the core" is a more tolerable idea than "capitalism is kinda busted" but what I love about "capitalism is kinda busted" is realizing every good thing that happens is in spite of capitalism because humans are that committed to doing good things

I think the biggest thing we lost from pre internet times is the concept that sometimes you have to actually look for stuff and it's not all placed immediately in front of your face. All that stuff you want is there, you just have to spend five minutes looking.

also I made these Game Boy- er... "NanoBoy" sprites for the server I play on, and I am very pleased with them.
SS14 sprites that strongly resemble the original Nintendo GameBoy, complete with swamp green screens.

One is grey/tan with colored buttons and there are 6 other variants in green, purple, blue, yellow, red, and white.

Today is the one-year anniversary of the release of Unfair Flips!!! The game is not on sale today because I forgot. But also it's $1.99 anyways so a sale is mostly in the mind store.steampowered.com/app/3925760/...

I technically used to make sprites for a pretty popular Terraria mod and it's awkward whenever I see it come up because I could be like "oh hey I worked on that" but I never actually played it and couldn't tell you much meaningful about it. I don't even know what sprites I made got used if any.

To celebrate all the recent love for #Hoi and #MoonChild, I fired up @aseprite.org to create some new Hoi and MC pixel art, for the first time in ± 30 years. 😃💚 For the scenery, I used my tiles for the Amiga version, combined with the Windows version's mountains and night sky background.
Pixel artwork, depicting a scene from the 1990s Moon Child game, featuring the Hoi and Moon Child characters.

If I was just a little more condescending, I'd start a web series where I sit down with someone who thinks cigarettes are inherently harmful, put a pack of them on the table, and then we sit and wait for it to do something harmful on it's own. 30 minutes of uncomfortable silence. "Any moment now..."

These things really bother me because games journalists are always saying they're pro-union. Well, Japan's game industry doesn't has mass layoffs because of the work of labor unions! Of strikes! But here we are, rewriting that history into "Japanese CEOs are nicer". Kill the neoliberal inside you.

(bad) Idea: Pronoun selections for multiple pronoun users where you have the ability to set relative rates of each pronoun. Like maybe like: (a crosspost from a 2024 tumblr post)
A VB6 dialog box running on XP. The title is "Pronouns" and it has the menu options "File, Pronouns, Help". There's a main group labeled "Pronoun Order/Frequency", and below it four pronoun sets are shown: she/her, they/them, he/him, it/its". Each pronoun set has a slider, with she/her at 90%, they/them at 10%, and the remaining two at 0%. Next to each slider there's up and down arrow buttons for reordering. At the bottom of the sliders is an "Add new pronoun" button.

if I remember correctly that is part of our evolution as a social species and helps communicate things about the level of danger present. For example, if someone slips and falls, but then laughs, that is communicating that they are not hurt.

The server is Quantum Blue. It's run by @mattfright.bsky.social who made most of the sprites too. You need to be whitelisted to play but I can send an invite if you DM me.

there is one conversation that is allowed to be had about the ocarina of time remake, and that is "it looks bad", apparently. nah, tell me more about the artistic movements you think it's drawing from, tell me more about the theater dolls and how that influenced the character design, etc.

SeeroftheNight @seerofthe.net · 14/09/2026
ever since people have pointed out that the ocarina of time remake characters are styled after theater dolls I have seen people absolutely crashing the fuck out about it because they want to think they're smarter for instantly saying the game looks like unreal slop

You know, I often say that playing old video games is like learning a language. The more you play them the better you become at understanding their vocabulary, the structure, etc. You can become fluent in classic video games, but I think a lot of people simply have lost it, or never learned how to.

yeah I dunno something tells me that rebooting StarCraft to try to compete with things like Helldivers 2, Warframe, Planetside 2, Call of Duty, and a billion other shooters might be a bad idea when the last mainstream RTS game that released was *checks notes* StarCraft 2

Hey, you heard the news, right? Star Fox 64 and Ocarina of Time are getting remade, and we all already played those games, so now it's time to complain about it! Or maybe I actually have some really thoughtful things to say about remakes and video game history... (thanks to @jtfg.dev for editing!)

The message included with this proto dump is rad
Today, I’m releasing the SNES proof-of-concept alpha of Project Dream, the proto-type that would go on to become Banjo-Kazooie.

I’ve held on to this for years, it was fun to have something that only a handful of people had, and as I am several people removed from how it got out of Rare to begin with, I didn’t want to risk that it could somehow get someone else in trouble, (so how I got it is a story I don’t plan to share.) I will just say that I got it from someone who got it from someone, who got it from somewhere.

But with the current state of the industry and Microsoft's current heartless gutting and mismanagement of Rare and other companies it controls, plus with how long it's been, I feel it's more important to make sure this is properly preserved, and the ROM dissected by people with far more knowledge on how to do such things.

I hope by releasing this, that it also inspires other people to release what they have as well. I know the Twelve Tales Conker 64 prototype is out there somewhere, but sadly, this is the only thing that I have.

There is little joy left in the industry, as it relentlessly marches towards AI, layoffs, l anti-preservation and ownership tactics, and, in Microsoft’s case, the support and approval of literal genocide in Gaza.

Let’s get the last beautiful things hiding on our hard drives out there for everyone. That's all we have left.
