🚨Announcement: it's been a year since the release of our perpetually-novel album 𝑁𝑒𝑤 𝑅𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑒! In August 2024, 𝑁𝑒𝑤 𝑅𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑒 was 7 years before its time, and although the clock keeps ticking, the good news is you’ll still be ahead of the curve if you get into it now. yacht.bandcamp.com/album/new-re...

Hollywood left Los Angeles and the weirdos came out and made new wave TV disguised as a video game. Ladies and gentlemen, non-binary people, binary computers, bugs, and everyone else… Blippo+ is coming to Nintendo Switch and Steam on September 23rd! youtu.be/3f69DgOfBCU

└A➝ You’re invited next Thursday, August 7th, to the historic Bob Baker Marionette Theater in Los Angeles. It’s a party, exhibition, puppet fashion show, and demo — all in one! 🍾 RSVP for entry: partiful.com/e/sILTWX7v4o... @panic.com @play.date @com.y-a-c-h-t.com @telefantasytv.bsky.social

If you’ve ever tried to cram for an exam, you know that it’s easier to memorize something if you learn the information in shorter, spaced-out sessions. These dynamics are as relevant to each individual cell’s existence as they are to ours. Claire Evans reports: www.quantamagazine.org/what-can-a-c...

I forgot that I hand-coded this cute 'lil site for our album, "New Release." It's got everything: an animated fly that moves around the screen, subliminal messaging, hi-res downloads, info, etc. Please, enjoy! com.y-a-c-h-t.com/newrelease/

I have two poles of self: a sensual, spiritual being and a pop culture flotsam cartoon. This "game"(?) speaks directly to my cartoon psyche. Like if TerrorVision was an entire network of programming AND made by one of my favorite bands (YACHT). I'm in disbelief of Blippo+ and so excited to tune in.

We made an unplayable clear CD in 2014 as part of a 2-disc set. The unplayable disc was encoded with our entire catalogue up to that point. The silver foil part of a CD is used to reflect the laser back into the sensor. The information is in the plastic. www.teamyacht.com/projects/whe...

Blippo+ The de-evolution revolution in television everyone is talking about. Out now on @play.date, coming this fall on Nintendo Switch ½ and Steam! Made by YACHT, Telefantasy Studios, & Dustin Mierau. Published by Panic. @com.y-a-c-h-t.com @telefantasytv.bsky.social @panic.com

I wrote this piece over the course of several years, as I was puzzling over how the heck @blippo.plus—the video game I was also writing at the time—would fit into such a wonky canon. I’m still not sure I know the answer but I love all the weirdos I’ve met along the way!

✨New from me!✨ From ill-fated choose-your-own adventure movies and 35mm arcade games to FMVs and the unclassifiable oeuvre of @mrsambarlow.bsky.social, I take a journey through the twisty history of interactive cinema. For @pioneerwork.bsky.social: pioneerworks.org/broadcast/in...

Another TV is possible. @blippo.plus is out now on Playdate. Coming this fall to Nintendo Switch & Steam. blippo.plus
