We live in an age where it takes less time to design and print some parts than it does to order one for overnight delivery. This one allows a Seimitsu P=50 stick (LS-32, Nobi, etc) to fit a 4-post panel, with room for an internal dust washer. Download here: nfggames.com/forum2/index...

Excited to introduce Vibes from Meta. Eat your slop, piggies!

Rowling and Emma Watson's argument is painful to watch😢 Good-hearted transgender people never intend to hurt anyone else. They just want to love who they want to love and live according to their soul's direction. Chiitan stands by the hearts of good-hearted transgender people. I love everyone

Sent a parcel to the USA for the 3rd time yesterday, after it was refused, again, this time because US Customs lists 8 or 10 digit tariff codes, AusPost says "At least 6 digits", and Zonos accepts ONLY 6 digits. It's a fucking chaos parade over there, a whole ass goddamn clown cavalcade.

ChrissaBug is awesome.

🤣

Solving every problem with a 3D print. Total time to design: 5 mins. Print time: 20 mins (super fine detail for legibility). Should help with the harness jungle in the arcade cabs. 😊

BAM! You're someone else's problem now!

Everything sucks, everyone dies, but lately it seems like it's all happening at the same time. Last weekend my father transitioned from a functional human being to an old man with a shattered brain, and somehow it just seems like the sort of thing 2025 would do. Dementia sucks.

Never mind his Wikipedia page, I just found out the OFFICIAL MODRETRO WEBSITE makes the connection between its' products and human suffering plain as day. There really are absolutely no excuses for people saying "I didn't know!"

Auspost: what are you shipping? me: Video game Auspost: A Dreamcast game? me: Sure Auspost: A permit is required for dangerous goods. Auspost suggests 'Dreamcast game' and then gives me the appropriate warning. Like sure, the Dreamcast wasn't a smash success, but come on.

Jordan Mechner is pretty cool.

Discord kicked me out of the PC app because I won't submit to their age verification system. Motherfuckers I am old enough to know "we totally promise no one's storing your ID" is foreshadowing the 'we inadvertently stored all your data and then we got hacked' announcement.

How do you shame shameless people?

Building off Alamone's work a few years ago, I built a version of Seibu Kaihatsu's Viper: Phase 1 with both original and New Version games in one cartridge. It's not a particularly difficult mod, only six chips, a few wires, and no changes to the original PCB. nfggames.com/forum2/index...

Yeah, this. So much this.

But don’t call them Nazis.

Go fuck yourself

NeXTstation Mini

Max Headroom. Too early to do the subject matter justice but they tried hard and set my synapses aflame with every episode. Coming at you live and direct. He satellites globally!

Robo Aleste was the shining star of the SegaCD library, by far. It wasn't great, but ye gods the rest were worse.

In Final Fight the highest scoring item is Edi. E's gum if you collect it when you're at full health. It's worth 42910 So why not 50K or a more normal number? Designer Akira Nishitani, AKA Nin-Nin's birthday is today. He's 58 meaning he was born in 1967, or Showa 42, 9, 10

This seems right, to me. The Dreamcast was playful, in an industry that wanted to be serious. The last great game console.

this is now outdated information

Aw man, no, RIP Maru the cat. That little man brought so much joy to my life for years and years. ❤️ en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maru_(c...

Bitmoji has gotten rid of the charming avatar style in favour of the soulless metaverse style of bland faces, and I fucking hate it. Why must every change be worse?

It's amazing to me when I hear people talking about the horrible advertisements they see. I have a couple of simple ad blockers installed, and I don't see ads, almost ever. When I see one I either fix it or stop using that service (hello Prime Video). Why does anyone still put up with ads? IDGI.

Printing up a customer order of Seibu Kaihatsu cartridge shells. I made a design that protects the board from accidental touches and prevents board flex which pops solder joints too easily. And they look good too! IMHO. 😊

Very excellent look at what makes a person support authoritarianism, and it aligns nicely with my belief that some people can tolerate complexity and some people want easy answers over messy truths. It makes me fear the problem is intractable, but I can set a lot of people on fire, and so can you!

Guy on Discord, posts a link to an AI somewhere. "Hey, I wrote this story about etc" they said. I replied "No you didn't." The entire channel stopped dead and hasn't started up again for several hours. Now, we need to roll me out globally. Guys I can do this.

I love that the LaserActive system is becoming more available to players via emulation. It's very good that more people will be able to really understand why the laserdisc-based system was a terrible idea, and even when it was $200 it wasn't worth the money. Beautiful system, but crappy games.

“My family thinks I’m at work, just like they used to think I was in school.” With tens of thousands of arcades shuttered from decades of policy and changing lifestyles, Xu Shouzhong’s arcade is the last one left in Shenyang, a time capsule for the heady days of youth.

SamSho 2 is one of the magnificent high points in the Neo Geo library, with calculated impact and glorious exuberance in equal measure.

I guess America has at least one thing forward to!

Happy Seventytooth, Taito!

Erasing a bunch of old chips, putting them to a far better purpose than they were originally given.

It's been a long time since a drew anything. But suddenly, Kirsty!

I read Rob Halford's bio, 'Confess' recently, and he mentions that the Judas Priest track 'Reckless' was nearly in the Top Gun soundtrack, and I gotta say it would have been fucking -perfect- for that movie. Here's a fan-made video featuring both things.

Dragon Half was so good.

Techdirt has a small series of articles about AI, and it seems like they tried to include a pro-AI voice for reasons that totally elude me. I replied with a comment that is either held in moderation or filed to null, IDK. But this shit pisses me off. www.techdirt.com/2025/08/15/w... A small 🧵

some women are so beautiful that they make you want to buy a dreamcast right then and there

I recently picked up 8BitDo's wireless remake of SNK's Neo Geo CD pad. The good and the bad news is it's a perfect replica. You can read my review if you like, and I posted some photos of the insides of both pads.

When I'm not despairing, I'm angry. The people who excuse or facilitate these awful things must be held to account. "We weren’t deranged. We were paying attention. [...] This is fascism. We told you it was coming. You called us hysterical. And now it’s here." www.techdirt.com/2025/08/12/i...

Chris is good at game art, makes it easy for devs to illustrate their own games and not make too much of a mess of it.

People on discord wasting the time of free software devs by asking for help with features that don't exist. "but chatgpt said..." Fuck is wrong with you, fuck outta here. Ask chatgpt how your brain was replaced with lettuce you fucking dingbat.

Greatest game of all time is obviously Robotron 2084. I don't know why we keep asking this question. From 1982 and never bettered. Gaming peaked almost as soon as it started.

The prints on my Bambu A1 started going wrong. At first, missing lines on external walls. Then gaps in surfaces. Finally, it just stopped printing entirely. Prints would crack apart rather than come off the plate. Turns out the extruder gear had worn out. Replacing it solved the problem.
