Retro games and FPGA mostly

Here is a quick playthrough of SimCity SA-1. I plan the city with simulation paused and then resume simulation when done. The experience is pretty smooth - you see your city evolving at real time organically. The feedback is instant and organic.

I can finally reveal the cover for Nobuo Uematsu: On The Record, coming from @viz.com this September, which is not far away. Cover portrait of Uematsu by Yoshitaka Amano, foreword written by Hironobu Sakaguchi, testimonials from awesome guest stars, and tons of surprises! Preorder: amzn.to/4g6Y9ai

Frog was very upset when he saw his friend in the hospital bed. “Toad, why would you inject yourself with kroakadil?” Frog asked. “I just wanted to feel something Frog.” whispered Toad “Well, now you do not feel very good.” said Frog. “This is true.” Toad glumly agreed.

I saw very little Neo Geo+ coverage this week bothering to mention the man who owns SNK, and I think that is a failing. The retro gaming scene continues to shy away from any uncomfortable realities that get in the way of nostalgic good times. It can and should be better than that
