My wife surprised our 15yo with a CRT today. He’s been super excited to get one. He’s now playing a MiSTer connected to it and having an absolute blast.

Past their prime? I can’t even…

Since I was ranting about managing your own media I thought I’d start periodically sharing some useful resources. This is a good jumping off point for hosting your own media server. youtu.be/AtgCcMjtqF0?...

If media (games, movies, music, books, etc.) is something you're passionate about, take control of it. Back up your stuff. Run your own server. It's work, yeah, but relying on companies to do it for you means you'll lose things. Set up a RAID, get Backblaze, archive and back up your stuff.

AirCon 2026 was definitely a highlight of my year and I’m thrilled the VoD of my talk „Rapid-Fire REAPER Radness” is now available alongside the accompanying guide that explores everything I covered in more detail! bolttracks.com/reaper-radne... #gameaudio #sounddesign #reaperdaw

Well, I guess I’ll be saving money because I’ll be buying far fewer games.

I love this story so much

AI continues to ruin everything.

Late Saturday night shenanigans.

My teenage son is getting sucked into Nier Automata. I’m trying not to act too excited about it. I don’t want him to see dad think it’s cool and decide not to continue. But it’s great to see him getting pulled in by such a fantastic game.

Playing the Resident Evil 9 demo right before bed is not the smartest thing I will do this week.

I have never met anybody who stopped working in games and regretted the pivot. And if things ever get better and you really want it, you'll find your way back. But you don't have to stay in an abusive relationship. They don't improve.

Videogame CEO playing an RPG: "If I fire most of my party members, I don't have to pay for their equipment upgrade costs! I'm a genius!"

Just got caught up on industry news and... long exhale. What in the fresh hell. If you're in game audio or production and need a portfolio or resume review, I'm a former hiring manager and would be happy to help. Email's the best place to reach me ([email protected])

Working on a @doublefine.com game has been a bucket list item for me for my entire career. It almost happened at one point. I'm still hopeful it will happen someday. Fingers crossed for them.

I played through 007 Nightfire on GameCube over the last week. Had a great time. It’s from 2003 I believe. Not quite boomer shooter but definitely an older vibe. The girls falling over themselves (even more than in the films) were a bit cringey but otherwise great fun.

first console played: Atari 2600 1st family console owned: NES 1st console that made me properly fall in love with games: NES 1st console that was just mine rather than shared: NES (I was an only child) 1st console I bought with my own money: N64

This button wasn’t necessary. They could’ve named it something else.

I finally nuked my Windows gaming PC today and put Bazzite on it instead. Now I only have Windows boxes I require for work. Two of them, one for day job work that my employer owns and one for side work when it happens. Nerdy shit one does on a Saturday evening.

Gotta love the AI industry. Ffs.

My kids and I are playing around with the new CRT effects, HDR and quasi-4K mode added to the Retrotink 5x Pro. This is the closest thing I’ve seen to a CRT since I owned one. Pretty incredible.

I just finished Metroid Prime 4 and I’m having a problem with that ending. I certainly hope there’s another chapter to this story.

Finally. I already have a MiSTer and I didn’t really need another one, but I wanted to support what Taki is doing. And if mine ever breaks, I’ve got a backup.

Seeing Mario Galaxy this morning.

Stop what you're doing and go listen to the music of @micropolyphonia.bsky.social for a bit! "Ice Giants" might be my favorite - absolutely stunning. If you have a subwoofer, make sure it's ON! charlottet.bandcamp.com/album/voyager

This game. My wife and I initially bonded over a love of video games, horror music, and music. We ended up getting married on a Friday the 13th. She now has a stack of copies of this game on NES, one for each year of marriage. The stack sits with the rest of our game collection.

This is so fucking disappointing. Horizon Chase Turbo and HC 2 are outstanding games. Go pick it up if you want it. I’m glad I’ve got a physical copy. I wish I had a DRM free copy of HC2. RIP Aquiris, they made the best arcade racer since Outrun 2.

Hey #gameaudio one of our own needs some help. www.gofundme.com/f/support-ky...

DEMO LIVE!!🚨🚀 Wild Blue Skies is playable right now at Steam Next Fest. On-rails shooter action. Branching paths. Boss fights. Bowie's confidence. Roe's standards. Thorne's ego. Chuck's wholesome energy. It's all there. Go play it. 🎮 store.steampowered.com/app/1921490/...

I feel like it’s harder than ever to find cool demos in Steam Next Fest. I feel like I’m seeing a lot of AI stuff. Have you found any cool games? Wild Blue Skies, Eternal Life of Goldman and Clockwork Ambrosia are my good finds so far.

I, uhh, feel like I’m getting sick. Cough cough. Yeah. That’s it. The latest game in one of my favorite series of all time just released this weekend. Time to go slay some monsters.

Zootopia 2 and Thunder Force V with the kids tonight. Great movie. The game’s pretty fun too :)

And we’ve moved on to Rastan.

Friday night shenanigans on Evercade. I’ve never successfully gotten out of the castle in this game. Trying yet again. I probably just don’t know what I’m doing. Atic Atac is the game.

This seemed like a good way to spend a snowy weekend. Beyond Good and Evil.

🚨🏺Introducing our newest game: KILN!🏺🚨 An online multiplayer, pottery party brawler! Teams of colorful spirits sculpt ceramic battle armor on a pottery wheel, and the size and shape of your pots determine your play-style and abilities. Coming 2026 (yep, THIS year)! youtu.be/mi0iRV0U3VY

I miss Japan Studio. They made so many fun and incredible games. Not everything needs to be serious and grim. I put this in front of the kids today and they’re having a blast.

QTP with your top N64 games!

Fun Sunday evening with my son playing Rondo on the Mister.

Hot off the presses, a new issue featuring a big step forward for Hikaru arcade emulation: Planet Harriers, Star Wars Racer Arcade, Brave Firefighters, and more!

Saturday night retro gaming fun.

Looking at the announcements last night, I feel like I saw more new IP than I expected, and I didn't see nearly as much as I expected from the "big" publishers.

I’ve been playing Retro Game Challenge on the DS lately and I love it so so much. I’m going to play the sequel next. But I wish evil Arino would give me challenges in tons of classic arcade games. Sounds silly perhaps but I love clearing all these odd challenges.

Thanksgiving shenanigans.

My son thought he would do better against me at Street Fighter II if we used the fight sticks. He did not succeed. We’re having fun though.

These children. I don’t know what I did to deserve this but yeah.

Building the LEGO GameBoy with my youngest.

Saturday afternoon project. My son has been very hard on his laptop keyboard, so I replaced it. I had to take almost every component out and remove the screen from the body shell to get it done, but it worked.
