Oh yeah, I snagged myself a Steam Machine. Stay jealous, haters.

That lil Naruto waddle that penguins do. 🥹

OG Final Fantasy 7 has been called overrated so much that it's become underrated.

Do you have any idea how many posts I've deleted almost immediately?

I ate this pizza a while back and took this pic to show a friend. Couldn't bring myself to delete it afterward. It was just too perfect.

Bad day to be an RPG Maker fan.

I'm going to buy and play your indie game. Yes yours. I'm talking specifically to you.

Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter is the best in the series actually.

look, here's the thing

The last few days have been weird. A videogame recently came out that is very, very similar to a gamedev project of my own, and... people have been clowning on it nonstop. Did i dodge a bullet and should stop working on it? Do i keep working on it anyway? Very weird feeling.

I'm a franchise, Greg. Can you milk me dry?

As someone who has literally only played Final Fantasy 11 this year, it still feels like Capcom is absolutely killing it in 2026.

I just really like this song from Code Name: Viper on the NES and wanted to share it. #chiptune www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpah...

After getting feedback from the gamedev side of Bluesky, I decided to post a clip of a song from my dream project, a retro style JRPG game. I'm proud of how this middle part turned out. I was going for steadfast determination with sudden tantrums of adventurousness. #chiptune #Famistudio #indiedev

Wherever you are, Dancing Girl from the End Credits of Gameboy Camera, I hope you're doing well.

I want my legacy to be getting people to start saying "shup" instead of "shut up."

Oh heehee it's PFP Day? Look I just like that weird S from the 90s. Anyway, I made it in Aseprite to help teach myself how to use it.

I kinda took an unplanned break from gamedev because I'm dealing with personal stuff but I really gotta get back to it. Thinking about making some changes to the character design so I started that recently. Big shout out to Final Fantasy 11 for keeping my brain busy during the break.

What I wouldn't give to be a teenager in the 90s, smoothing out a dollar bill against the corner of a vending machine so I can buy a can of Surge.

STOP THE PRESSES. The ROM for the unreleased Famicom RPG Splatter World has been released (in a thread on 4chan, of all places). I've tried it myself, and it does seem to be genuine. If it's a fake, it's a damn good one. Expect (more) coverage on West Mansion soon. @hg101.bsky.social

You don't understand, I can't work on my gamedev project. I need to camp the Bastok auction house in Final Fantasy 11 for fire crystals so I can craft hella hatchets, which levels both blacksmith and carpentry skills at the same time. The SAME TIME.

Shit your pants like no one's watching.

Final Fantasy 11.

Been playing Final Fantasy 11 using a controller, positioning my right hand kinda like this. It's to help with grip strength and hand pain issues. Occurs to me this probably wouldn't even be feasible in 14 but it's been a big help in 11. This is an 8BitDo Ultimate, btw. Great controller.

Day 1 of posting every day until Thursday.

Stayed up late last night thinking about a negative review I saw for a brand of pea protein that just said "It tastes like peas!"

Sometimes I'll be in bed, unable to sleep, wondering if my villagers in Animal Crossing miss me. Is that wholesome or mental illness?

The problem with having a big forehead is I've been thinking I'm going bald since I was like 10.

How did I somehow manage to get addicted to Final Fantasy 11 again in 2025, the year of our Norg?

Putting on clothes seems a lot cooler when you realize it raises your defense.

Gamedev update: Back to work on a song I've been slowly writing for a LONG time now for my retro JRPG. There are parts I feel confident about but others need work, like the first verse. Sounds a bit empty. And the second one needs to change things up maybe. #indiedev #chiptune #Famistudio #nes

Does anyone happen to know if it's Friday in California?

How do you do it? How do you sit a friend down and tell them you weren't really Laughing Out Loud at their text?

The Rad Gravity title theme is honestly cool as fuck and I respect George Sanger for writing it. Its not a sort of chaos that comes from incompotence or lack of understanding how music is written, its very deliberate and you cant make something like that unless you know exactly what youre doing.

I haven't been feeling so great recently and have been passing the time with a phone game called Doomsday: Last Survivors. One of those pay-to-win ones. It is with a heavy heart that I announce I'm fully addicted to it.

Sorry, I can't talk right now. Just finally got around to deleting a bunch of emails and I'm currently bathing in the cleansing light of catharsis.

We really let ourselves get lazy when coming up with the name for blueberries.

I think "Fixer's Song" from 1000xRESIST has to be one of the most heartfelt songs I've heard in a videogame ever.

Updated the first character portrait a little bit. I think my biggest issue right now with pixel art is learning shading, so I'm not happy with it yet. His face shape is better now tho. This is literally the closest I got to gamedev work in the past few days btw. #indiegamedev #Aseprite #retro

I forgot to post this at the time but since I'm still feeling proud of it, here it is. 100% of the Suikoden 1 retro achievements. Mostly a chill hundo but there are some luck based ones. Not fond of those.

Gamedev update: Gotta stop putting off how to properly make pixel art if I want this game to at least look somewhat how it does in my mind. So that's my main focus right now. Been making the character portraits at 48x48 but maybe I should up the pixel count for more detail? #indiegamedev #Aseprite

It's got enough room for me & the whole squad ⚔️
