"[Panel] Registration deadline is June 20th" "[We] will notify all panelists if their panel has been accepted by July 15th" Today: "The official [redacted] schedule is HERE!" Look, I know I'm a nobody offering to present on very niche topics, but it would still be nice to not be ghosted.

We're still here, so come by and set a high score, escape an untimely demise, and reclaim the Dwarven kingdom today! #NES #homebrew #nesdev #indiegames #IndieRetro

I'd be very interested to talk to someone from @novasplore.bsky.social and/or @brokestudio.bsky.social about the design decision behind Diggy Diggy Mole's randomizer_patch() method in the Steam release. 😁 cc @originalfei.bsky.social just on the off chance...

I've said it before, but I love it when this city sneaks up on you. #SanFrancisco

"Retro Mode?" Excuse me while I turn to dust. 💀

The nightmare is remembering. Retro Mode is coming soon to Total Chaos, bringing pixelated visuals, low-poly horrors, and a terrifying new ending inspired by the game’s award-winning DOOM II origins. Some nightmares only get worse with age.

Does anyone know where to stream The Iliad before going to see The Odyssey this weekend?

There's no hiding from mistakes in open source projects, which can be humbling. Speaking of, my Shadowgate 64 Randomizer has hit v1.0.1! ☺️ github.com/grendell/sg6...

Release v1.0.1 · grendell/sg64rando

This release fixes the room ID lookup, which was changed just before the v1.0.0 release. 😑 0x800ea726 holds one instance of the room ID as an unsigned halfword. However, since the lower half has t...

I think that's a wrap on Star Fox 2026 for me. I beat my N64/Starship high score by 81 points today.

I love how they expanded on the story in this game.

After seeing my sixth summer movie today, I decided to put on my statistician hat and test my personal rankings against Rotten Tomatoes. My Spearing rank correlation with critics is -0.02, or almost perfectly uncorrelated, and with audiences is 0.37, or weakly in-agreement. Fascinating. 🤓

I'm having too good of a time at the Nintendo store today! 😁🦊🐔🐰🐸🤖🐶

What classic game am I replaying today? Here's a hint: Start, Right, A, Start... Start, Left, A, Start... Start, Right, A, Start... Start, Left, A, Start... Start, Right, A, Start... Start, Left, A, Start... Start, Right, A, Start... Start, Left, A, Start...

Unfortunately, a few are packed away, but the newest entry finally arrived!

You never know what you're going to find at Roseville's Retro Gaming Expo, like this weird fake trackpad controller for the NES! We had to take it for a spin with The Halls of Talamh Domhain, and it works surprisingly well. Come by the indie developer booths and give it a shot! 😆

We're gearing up for a big weekend in Roseville at Fire & Ice Retro Gaming Expo: * A new exhibition build of The Halls of Talamh Domhain showing off all monsters, NPCs, vendors, & the entire soundtrack! * A new technical talk, Intro to N64 Reverse Engineering & Randomizers! Hope to see you there!

Diggy Diggy Mole was my personal pick for best gameplay at the MAGFest Indie Retro Homebrew Showcase earlier this year. Congrats on the release @novasplore.bsky.social !

Hey #redump friends! I have an old DVD that I'm trying to preserve (ooo, mysterious!), and MPF always starts flailing around 97%. Is there anything I can do to improve my odds? I'm currently using the OmniDrive firmware with an Asus BW-16D1X-U external drive. cc: @frankcifaldi.bsky.social

I've always loved alien movies. I have such a low bar for them. Disclosure Day was abysmal. Absolute garbage with nothing to say or do. It didn't have a single interesting thought or concept or original idea in the entire affair. I honestly think Disclosure Day is the product of Generative AI.

Am I summoning Cthulhu, or just explaining sprite zero tests? Thank you to everyone who came out to the Enhancement Chip talk today at SoCal Gaming Expo! The updated slides will be available this week at github.com/grendell/mmc... Next up, Fire & Ice RGX for some N64 reverse engineering!

We're in Pasadena at SoCal Gaming Expo this weekend! If you're in the area, be sure to check out the show and say hello. We're presenting a really fun panel on Sunday and have an updated playable demo of Talamh Domhain with us! socalgamingexpo.com conventions.leapevent.tech/schedules/vi...

It's Mode 7 out there!

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.

I too am ready to direct a season of a D+ Star Wars show if Disney gives it a chance. I plan for new episodes to reveal the origins of Kybo Ren (not a typo) and explore the history of Terak.

Aeronautical engineers of the world, I have a very serious question: why is it not possible to put a 1/16" sheet of metal between my lower back and the seat back pocket of the person behind me?
