Checked out the @iam8bit.com 35 years of Sonic Art Exhibit this weekend. Surprisingly, none of my Sonic fan art from 20 years ago were on display. Whatever.

Worth a read. I would add that a lot of important historical regional contributions are often dismissed over concerns of copying, unauthorized IP use, or piracy. So much unique development, reworking, and adaptation happened in communities where devices like bootlegs and clones were popular.

Unauthorizon is a invaluable resource for anyone interested in video game history, and especially bootleg/unofficial devices. Please consider supporting if you’re able.

Another chance to check out a fun article I was interviewed for about the Famicom demake of Final Fantasy VII.

This week I’m wrapping up teaching a course on Internet, Technology, and Society. We’ve talked about A.I, video games, data privacy, social media, and how all of this internet-mediated technology is shaped by and shaping society. It’s been a blast to see how these topics resonated with students.
