I really dislike seeing ‘slop’ used as a genre descriptor, i.e. friendslop. There‘s so much actual AI garbage out there, why are we normalising calling any human made creative works ‘slop’????
when the nail inspo is that one inaccurately colour balanced ‘grey-urple’ Casio Loopy promo image that has been floating around online for years:
Ok, jokes over now Nintendo, please release Playtest Program.
Dom | VideoDojo@supergroovy.net · 2mo agoNintendo, please don't release NSO: Playtest Program this month. I'm begging you.
Seems like the loopy community is being overtaken by people just using AI for half the stuff they make now, and again it's touching things I wrote code for. I want out. I don't wanna give these people anything else.
New from me: Talking to some of the folks on the frontier of porting retro games to PC, and saying 'fuck AI' while they do it
PC ports of old console games are the new AI vibe coding battleground
With prjoects like Donkey Kong 64 Recompiled, human programmers stake a claim on the art and science of retro game recompilation.

finally got around to getting a Floopy Drive flashcart for the Casio Loopy from @partlyhuman.com and the parody label/theming for this is just too precious
Happy Canada Day! I'm celebrating with 25% off everything in my Ko-Fi store, July 1 only with code MAPLESTORY. Floopy Drives for Casio Loopy, WQV-1 IR sync devices, and QChord song multicarts, everything! ko-fi.com/partlyhuman/...
Please go watch I Love Boosters, especially if this is your first time hearing about it.
GAME DEVS Are you releasing your game in November? And *not* moving the date to September or October? I’d like to talk about that. DM if you’re interested.
Back in 2022, I invited @voxy.space to art direct & create motion graphics for my first ever PiCPAC video. The new project section on his redesigned website (it's gorgeous btw!) goes into detail about his creative process, including some great BTS images like this! www.voxy.space/projects/the...
I pulled too hard on a secondary thread and now I have a parcel enroute from Japan. Suffice to say, the video WILL NOT be out before the end of the month but I think it’ll be worth the extra wait! 🙇✨✨
Dom | VideoDojo@supergroovy.net · 2mo agoWorking on a video containing some pretty exciting info for PiCPAC fans... Hopefully I can have it finished before the end of the month! 👀✨
Well look at this. In 2025, @supergroovy.net hosted the inaugural Game Builder Garage Direct, a charming showcase of the wild and creative experiments that their community have produced within Nintendo's game creation suite. I interviewed founder Dom on the show about it. It was a good time.

Anyone ever heard of Namco's '80s robot band PicPac? They've not had much press in the west, just a brief cameo in Namco Museum Vol. 4 on the PS1. The internet usually loses their sh!t over stuff like this. Especially with a cute female robot among the cast! 😅 #namco #retrogaming #fnaf #japan
The Game Builder Garage Direct goes live in just 30 minutes from this post! Come and see what the GBG community has been up to over the past 12 months! 🎉✨

Back in 2022 the Game Builder Garage community developed ways to import textures using arduino to work around the limited in-game texture tools. Now in 2026, community member Zert unveiled a new tool for creating, copying and pasting code created outside the game! youtu.be/OXWpxESW4e8?...

Brings me so much joy to see more and more people sharing their love of PiCPAC online! 🥹✨✨
PiCPAC Fan@picpacfan.bsky.social · 2mo agoA few months ago I learned of PiCPAC for the first time, and I quickly went head over heels for them. Now it's my new life's mission to bring these guys back into the limelight, they deserve it after all the love that went into them and their dynamic. Expect the occasional post soon! #PiCPAC #Namco
An under appreciated, fully featured and surprisingly fun game, a classic example of a playful Nintendo experiment. Dom has likely forgotten more about GBG than most of us will ever know. Hear all about the game and the community they built around it on episode 012 (!) of Dialogue Tree. ⬇️
Dom | VideoDojo@supergroovy.net · 2mo agoToday marks the 5th anniversary of the release of Game Builder Garage! 🥳🎉✨
