Well look at this. In 2025, @supergroovy.net hosted the inaugural Game Builder Garage Direct, a charming showcase of the wild and creative experiments that their community have produced within Nintendo's game creation suite. I interviewed founder Dom on the show about it. It was a good time.

Working on a video containing some pretty exciting info for PiCPAC fans... Hopefully I can have it finished before the end of the month! 👀✨

Anyone ever heard of Namco's '80s robot band PicPac? They've not had much press in the west, just a brief cameo in Namco Museum Vol. 4 on the PS1. The internet usually loses their sh!t over stuff like this. Especially with a cute female robot among the cast! 😅 #namco #retrogaming #fnaf #japan

The Game Builder Garage Direct goes live in just 30 minutes from this post! Come and see what the GBG community has been up to over the past 12 months! 🎉✨

Back in 2022 the Game Builder Garage community developed ways to import textures using arduino to work around the limited in-game texture tools. Now in 2026, community member Zert unveiled a new tool for creating, copying and pasting code created outside the game! youtu.be/OXWpxESW4e8?...

Still not got your fill of gaming news? Join us for the live premiere of a brand new Game Builder Garage Direct! Tune in at 15:00 (PT) / 23:00 (UTC+1) for over 20 minutes of game announcements and more! 🎮✨ youtu.be/6ZpXuo5un98

Brings me so much joy to see more and more people sharing their love of PiCPAC online! 🥹✨✨

An under appreciated, fully featured and surprisingly fun game, a classic example of a playful Nintendo experiment. Dom has likely forgotten more about GBG than most of us will ever know. Hear all about the game and the community they built around it on episode 012 (!) of Dialogue Tree. ⬇️

Today marks the 5th anniversary of the release of Game Builder Garage! 🥳🎉✨

I've been on a huge hyperfixation with PiCPAC lately, so i pulled myself together and made some artwork, enjoy #ROBOTBANDPICPAC #PICPAC

to a T

I'm going to be joining the wonderful @voxy.space and @mustardoligarch.bsky.social to react LIVE to the upcoming Nintendo Direct! In anticipation, I've laid out my upmost hopes and dreams in the form of a digital bingo card... Stream link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyDD...

As material conditions worsen, as rights are stripped away, the clearer the unique power of revolutionary optimism becomes to me. My deep belief that a fairer, more humane world will bloom & *must* be fought for cannot be taken from me, it is one thing that exists beyond the reach of power.

I also believe that our current trajectory could lead to a 'post-human world,' but maybe not in the way they mean. Further impoverishment, literal and figurative, of global humanity. A terminal devaluation of human labor, human ingenuity, and human value, survived only by the amoral and inhumane.

woaw,,, cool shirt, bunny happy pride month everybody 🥰

Nintendo, please don't release NSO: Playtest Program this month. I'm begging you.

The Namco History blog is up with its first post about Namco’s animatronic band PiCPAC. blog.namcohistory.com/2026/05/31/r...

A good buddy of mine got their hands on a copy of the Shigeki Toyama artbook that contains a bunch of high-res references of the #PicPac band, and I got inspired to quickly sketch out Maria Socket to get back into the drawing mood! Namco bring back PicPac and make a picpacillion dollars #fanart

This rulesssss, Voxy is an amazing designer and this resource brings so much additional legibility to the Godot node icons whilst adhering to the existing visual language of the editor!

They've responded, hearted my comment and linked my channel. They said it was an 'editing mistake' due to cut content for 'retention purposes'. 🤷

Just found out a big animatronics YouTuber did a segment about PiCPAC in a recent video. Judging from their script, I have an inkling they found my original deep dive video on the subject to be quite useful. They chose not to credit my research or source the footage they used. Sucks man.

I have a very strong hunch the Casio Loopy made its public debut at Tokyo Toy Show 1995. As of yet, however, no material from Casio's booth has ever surfaced online to 100% prove this theory. I'm certain there must be evidence out there to prove this one way or another! 🩷🩵

Remove them!

🔼 HEXA is OUT NOW on #steam! the best thing since the hexagon (maybe) is here...a cosmically-good match-six puzzle game. with addicting gameplay, bundles of modes, & dozens of "missions" (you can even make your own!) + achievements, leaderboards, & more! YAY! store.steampowered.com/app/4581230/...

Just recently discovered that namco made an animatronic robot band sometime in the mid 80's. And since the drummer of this animatronic band is a cutie. I had to draw him!! #namco #picpac #animatronic #animatronics #robot #fanart #robot_band_picpac

Well shoot, I think that does it. These little guys can download your photos from every one of the four WQV model camera watches, from tiny Game Boy Camera-like grayscale to 90s webcam-like crunchy colour JPEG, and pop up as a USB drive. Needing ancient software and unobtainable hardware: solved.

I just overheard someone referring to Mounjaro, the GLP-1 receptor agonist, as ‘Ninjago’

i haven't been in the drawing mood lately, but i couldn't ignore PiCPAC suddenly trending recently. my boy strobo gonzales deserves the world 🥺 also my good friend @supergroovy.net deserves more views on his PiCPAC documentary where he found the first known footage of the band (link in replies)

Maria Socket is cute! #art #digitalart #namco

I kinda went on an emotional rollercoaster learning about PiCPAC, I wish they were a success in their time. Here's some art of Maria Sockets! #PiCPAC #Namco #FanArt

strobo gonzales more like blorbo gonzales #art #doodle

All animals are either dog or cat. Ducks = dog. Lizards = cat. Pigs = dog. Bats = cats. Rhinos = Dog. and perhaps most surprisingly… Foxes = Cats.

If Doshin the Giant has million fans, then I'm one of them. If Doshin the Giant has one fan, then I'm THAT ONE. If Doshin the Giant has no fans, that means I'm dead.

oh no...

The US has been strangling Cuba for the past 65 years. The escalations of the last few months have been designed to cause maximum suffering to ordinary people. In cutting off fuel and preventing allies from supplying Cuba with aid, essential services such as hospitals can no longer operate.

Our government could've said no. We are complicit. “RAF Fairford has, in recent days, become the principal forward operating base for US strategic bombers in Europe. There are now approximately 15 B-1Bs – over half the US fleet – and six B-52s at the base." www.declassifieduk.org/starmers-def...

@casioedu.bsky.social Hola, me gustaría mucho poder hablar con alguien del equipo. ¡No dudéis en enviarme un mensaje directo o indicarme otra forma de contacto! ¡Gracias de antemano! ✨

Inspired by the chassis mount DIN-8 RGB mod solution Tim ships with NESRGB and @jeffsretrogaming.com's super-tidy Loopy RGB mods, I made a DIN-9 version for my setup which exclusively uses Megadrive2 cables!
