Every time Nintendo stops doing something they used to do, it's an opportunity for some other brand to become more Nintendoish.

A brutalist gaming PC made out of a Dell Optiplex Micro and a PlayStation 1 shell.

Will I be able to fit a micro PC inside a PlayStation 1 shell? Let's find out!

I want a version of the TV series Masada which contains only scenes of Peter O'Toole being pissed off in the desert.

I see a lot of game devs calling their projects "cozy". If you'd like a cozy controller to pair with them, consider the Duke. It's so big, it'll make you to stretch your fingers, forcing them into a cozy position.

What if there was a PC Gaming Akihabara?

What if Windows 11 booted up like the 1987 WonderWorks opening?

This piece of indie game film was made, using only PowerPoint 2003 and old "pre-subscription era" Photoshop.

I like where this is going, but why are there 2 USB ports in the back?

Floppy disks have spent more time being used as save icons, than being used to store data.

I don't use the term "Metroidvania". The creators of Metroid and Castlevania don't pay me to.

Billy Joel thought that science and poetry would rule after the last war is won. Obviously Billy don't know much PC gamin'.

Alundra 2's graphics were rough around the edges, yet it still had interesting content, like the scene where the protagonist sees a giant key in the distance, covered in scaffolding.

If you like Pokopia, you might also like Graffiti Kingdom. You can draw your own Pokémon.

You can tell that a movie was made in the 90s, if the villain looks into a fluorescent light and says "Kidnap that hero pig".

I'd like to put a gaming PC inside a red and black plastic enclosure. They're not very easy to find. I'm thinkin' about using a toolbox as an enclosure.

I watched Jason and The Argonauts the other day. I couldn't understand the story, but I DID want answers to Ali G's question about why skeletons are always involved in evil.

Some PC games melt better into an N64 controller than a standard one, and I'm not foolin'.

Playing Oregon Trail with an Atari Jaguar and makeshift shotgun controller :

When I bought this in a used game store, the counter guy asked me what fighting games I was interested in. The answer was..... zero. I said there were about 4 locally-made games that would probably work with this.

PCs should be able to launch games at least as smoothly as a Nintendo 64 could.

I recommend not requiring delicate mouse movement in point-and-click games. King's Quest VII is almost really easy to play with a controller, but the wand adjustment challenge makes that idea more absurd than it would otherwise be.

Stitched Together is out now! #gamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XHw...

Chainsaw controllers don't need to cost $600.

If you made a Windows game in #Godot and it doesn't automatically go fullscreen or maximize, it's not done. Thank you for attending my TED Talk.

A good gaming PC shouldn't require you to type a password at bootup, or accidentally force you to see a photo of a coastline from inside a cave.

I don't want Atari to belong to the French. I don't want it to get caught up in blockchain technology. I want it to be about gaming cases.

The advantage that consoles have over PCs is their ease of use in living rooms. The advantage that PCs have over consoles is their software and controller compatibility. It would be disasterous for both gaming types to end up having neither advantage.

The Lenovo P3 Ultra is the perfect size for a gaming PC. But... it has 3 USB ports in the front, and 4 in the back. WHY?!!! Are we supposed to believe that no one would ever want a 4-player party with wired controllers?

I wanna point out that, in Lode Runner, you can create your own levels. In Syphon Filter : The Omega Strain, you can create your own soldiers. In Graffiti Kingdom, you can flat-out draw them, and they turn 3D.

Possibly the first chainsaw controller game on Itch-io : Tickle Trees. Check it out! If you like it, give it 5 stars! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #games

It kills me that it doesn't have a USB version.

Makeshift controller with a crank on the right side.

If both these versions of the Xbox controller were equally easy to buy, would everyone still prefer the real one? I'm not sure, but I wish I could test this with thousands of children.

I tested Azaran - Islands of The Jinn. The game claims it "supports Xbox controllers" but it'll work with anything, including N64 ones. The only hard part about setting up an N64 controller came from the fact that the game doesn't list its keyboard/mouse defaults upfront.

I wish someone would (quietly) make a game called Alundra 3 that explains how the first two games are connected.

Making it socially acceptable to build grenade launcher controllers, even though they don't have light gun or gyro technology. #indiedev #indiegamedev #gamedev

Don't complain about Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen prices. Download Vaporwave Battler, and fight vaporwave creatures instead. And if you don't know what vaporwave is, that's half the reason to do it.

The Panasonic 3DO was actually very special. Where else can you find an enclosure that's shaped like this?

The Itch.io game Hollowspire wasn't made with gun controllers in mind, yet it doesn't matter, because the game is first-person, and uses simple mouse movement, which is easy to run through JoyToKey.

In King's Quest VII, a witch disappears in front of a princess, then reappears right behind her, then uses magic to transport her into a room that's about 8 meters away. It seems like an inefficient way to do things, but at least we get a close-up shot of the characters.

I didn't grow up with an Atari 2600, so I put a mini PC inside a 2600 shell, and it's a charming way to play pixel art games.

I didn't play Donkey Kong Country 3 until 8 years after the N64 came out. If that 8 years had been 8 days, I think the canyon graphics would've given me pause.

If there could be 3 Laws of PC Game Development, I would want one of them to be : Never bring a controller imposition that can't be avoided.
