Today is the final day until BEEP closes and moves to a new location in Akihabara in early June. Yes it was cramped and underground, but the location was iconic!

@tafferking451.bsky.social @duskdev.bsky.social As we approach the end of DS2, can I make a heartfelt request that David play The Outer Wilds? It would be an incredible discussion point as much as a wonderful experience.

This will always be my team #starfox #starwing

Here are Dave and David's full unedited comments for those interested:

Crazy shit happening at xbox rn

Probably the first PC game I ever sat down and played properly (Id had a quick look at Diablo and Dungeon Keeper once before). It was at a friends house and I was blown away by how interactive and detailed it was compared to what I’d seen before. Those trip mines! Still has a huge place in my heart!

Using spaghetti to make a Super Combo Finish.

Goodbye, Mickey! Sending him off to America today to find a new home. Fingers crossed the glass survives and that he’s actually allowed through customs #sega

The final day

Xmas Lemmings (1991)

Merry Christmas everyone! May your retro game gifts be blessed with boxes that have crisp corners, a registration card and a mini publishers catalogue. And don’t forget to solder in a new battery before you get started! 🎄🎄🎄

The confusion and conflation of ‘generative ai that is built on stolen artwork’ and ‘machine learning, character behaviour modelling and proc gen’ is intentional on the part of the grifters peddling the former. They benefit from murkiness of classification, because the latter predates their bollocks

GTW Highlight No.09: In March, we also had a massive discovery with the release of the long-lost god sim Populous for the #NES. A full conversion lost for 33 years - which now you can finally play. www.gamesthatwerent.com/2025/03/popu...

It’s 11/21, the unofficial #NintendoDay because of the date’s notable releases including… - Super Famicom launch - A Link to the Past AND Ocarina of Time - Donkey Kong Country 2 - Pokemon GS and RS and ORAS - Super Smash Bros. Melee - More! And it’s the anniversary of the Tokyo Game Life podcast!

Half-Life is now 27 years old - released November 19th 1998

The 1/2 last toast from the legend herself: Valhalla really really reeked of beer, but Jennell seems happy The other angels are tired of me saying “fight for the other users” while throwing my halo around - Becky

These two idiots were always one of the better sellers from my stuff! #monkeyisland #guybrush #lechuck #pixelart

More Halloween horror? How about Bram Stoker’s Dracula? Brilliant film, brilliant soundtrack and some utterly baffling video games. That every version is different is so confusing to me, as is the fact a film like this was turned into a game at all! My painting was based on the SNES version #dracula

One of my favourite soundtracks, been waiting for this to get a release for years! 🤘🤘🤘 Thank you! @andrewhulshult.bsky.social @duskdev.bsky.social @dave.newblood.games youtu.be/TWnzazIvXI8?...

Happy Halloween! Jason won this fight, I was going to do a Nightmare on Elm Street painting, but it was just too complex for me to deal with so I went with this classic. The dithered shading wasnt fun though! Also, lettering is really boring to paint but looks great! #halloween #friday13th #nintendo

@dannyodwyer.bsky.social Started playing Blake Manor after your recommendation. Really into it so far. It’s reminding me a lot of Sentient though. Old PS1/PC game. Sci-fi title that was way too ambitious for the tech, but fascinating and way ahead of its time.

As a kid I could scarcely believe how good the graphics looked on Gremlins 2! That title screen looked just like a photograph to me. So maybe I was a little off, but it still looked great for the NES. Had to recreate it for a painting, so much detail in there! #gremlins2 #nes #halloween #nintendo

A little while ago I did a series of Halloween paintings, most of which sadly went un-sold but were actually some of the harder things I’ve done! I’ll post some over the next few days. Let’s start with Jaws! That bloody water was a nightmare to do! #jaws #nes #pixelart #nintendo #painting

With this combo of orders it’s like a @digitalfoundry.bsky.social special event! @pc98audi.bsky.social @dachsjaeger.bsky.social #bubsy #doom #pixelart

Apparently the NES is 40 years old? Christ… That little grey box was the most exciting thing in the world to me, and I still love it today. #nes #nintendo

Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu says he’s “never used generative AI, and never will.” Hardship is what makes the creative process rewarding automaton-media.com/en/news/fina...

I would run down to the newsagent multiple times to see if the new issue was in yet, the excitement of being told it was in was unparalleled. Still have some of my original copies, many of which are held together with sticky tape @digitalfoundry.bsky.social

Hades 2 - Chronos defeated! Those Umbral Flames are way OP, haha. It took me months to beat Hades in the first, this one took me about 7 hours.

I have made some essential purchases. #hailtothekingbaby

Podd for the BBC Micro. One of my earliest video-game memories. This and Grannies Garden were some of the most unbelievably exciting moments I had at school, maybe 38 years ago. If I had a holy grail it would be to play these games on original hardware.

Yep. Truly good games do not need seasons and constant rollouts of new content.

Seems @zaumstudio.bsky.social doesn’t want me selling my Disco Elysium painting and prints on Etsy 😟 They got a lot of work to do then as Etsy has a mountain of Disco items on there! They’re such a popular bunch though and this sort of thing will make people love them even more! #discoelysium

In collaboration with id Software, we're excited to announce the definitive re-release of Heretic + Hexen — available NOW on all platforms! 💥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqH3...

A small tip off, the new 8Bitdo N64 controllers work great with a BlueRetro adapter. Absoutely the best cost effective way to play on an original N64 today. I will definitely be going back for another one!

@corekeepergame.com Hi! Will there be a Switch 2 update for 60fps and a res boost maybe?

Harry and Kim! #Discoelysium

WWF WRESTLEMANIA RARE 1989 NES

Apparently the Amiga is now 40 years old! What an incredible computer and one that’s inspired several of my paintings in the past #amiga #pixelart

We're about halfway through our 666-minute *FREE* giveaway of Brütal Legend on itch.io, as we honor the life of Ozzy, our Guardian of Metal: doublefine.itch.io/brutal-legend Don't fret. You've got about 333 minutes left to grab it. 🤘 🖤 🎸

Steins;Gate was a bit of a ride 😢 #tuturu

Over 2 years in the making, and just a technical marvel from the legendary @randallinden.bsky.social makes this one of the coolest things I ever been involved with. limitedrungames.com/products/doo...

Hello, #portfolioday ! Pixel art paintings and prints of video games here, about to dabble in digital too. linktr.ee/pixelpaint64

Thanks to some physical issues with my hand I’m not sure how much painting I’ll be doing going ahead, certainly not complex anyway. Digital artwork seems a little easier on the joints though, so would welcome any feedback on this effort of Harry from Disco Elysium! #pixelart #discoelysium

Prepping for my b'day party this weekend, finally hung up my one and ONLY painting I own Yeah, I'm an art snob 😏 Art by: @pixelpaint64.bsky.social

@dark1x.bsky.social Damn, you weren’t wrong, finally sunk some time into Ridge Racer Type 4 this week. Amazing game and what a soundtrack! Immediately watched your old DF video on it and found I have no 60fps RR disc!! Immediately bought on eBay.
