Early 3D Pokemon renders by Keiji Kinebuchi from the late 1990s that got my brain wired up

Hoi seems like a chill little dude, so I gave him a little cup of boba tea to enjoy. #moonchild

hey fuck Panic and fuck the Playdate, they're allowing AI generated code in their games. what's funny is they forbid other AI generated stuff like art and text (good!), but apparently code is A-OK for people to steal. help.play.date/catalog-deve...

and while many absolutely great games come from outside of that era, i think it's the period where video games were at their most pleasurably "video-gamey" and joyful, no matter if we're talking rpg's, platformers or splatter violence fighting games

This has been in my head for months now

Instead of watching that new Mario movie, might I recommend another piece of media about an Italian man? It even has references to Nintendo games!

Girl, are you the Sega Mega Drive? Because i was gonna be transparent with you about my feelings, but now I'm dithering.

More people on this site need to discuss Egg McBig. A fan made One Piece character taking over the Sub-Reddit by storm.

Well shit. If you were holding off on downloading any roms, now might be the time.

'Alien Soldier' was released on the SEGA Mega Drive 31 years ago today in Japan.

I will say this any chance I get: Itoi was part of far left student protests in the ‘60s - ‘70s where he physically clashed with police, was arrested 5 times, and ultimately dropped out of law school from his disillusionment so he indeed knows how they work

It occurs to me that many people don't know about the GameFan coffee incident. In 1993, GameFan published a manic 6-page review of the game Cybermorph that was written while tripping on LSD that somebody put in the office coffee pot The review declared that Cybermorph was the first "real" game

A time is coming where owning your own computing device won’t be the norm. Big tech wants us all to rent everything from them through paid subscription services.

This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous. Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

His monsters are a child's predelictions." He never gave another interview.

Epic Games sent a DMCA notice to my online stores for my geology-themed design involving a crossed pickaxe and rock hammer that said "PICKS...or it didn't happen" because they asserted that Epic owned all rights to artwork/mention of pickaxes, right before an SVP annual conference. Eric cost me $$$

“Notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein played a role in convincing Bobby Kotick to embrace loot boxes, essentially gambling for children” what is this sentence, what is this world

the Cave Story mockup that almost came out officially. I worked with the Cave Story publisher Nicalis for a few months developing a pixel art but higher resolution version of the game. Pixel approved! Here's also some upscaled sprites, showing options #pixelart

The magic of backlight animation: that pre-digital era when artists had to light up from underneath to create lighting effects through unpainted or translucent parts of cels, backgrounds and various elements.
