it's fascinating to think that Shadow of the Beast visually is trying to be Cadash (remarkable if you really study the tilesets) and Cadash is a deeper implementation of something like Rastan in terms of visual relations and ground floor feel.... so a lineage from Data EAST to Taito to Reflections

What makes a space, a place? Which videogames had places that truly immersed us? Hear us get all speculative here. Spoilers, we reach no conclusion. #gaming #videogamepodcast #masseffect #nms #thewitcher #deathstranding #outerwilds

I know who cares bigger things are happening but that Hamnet movie that is getting rave reviews and 4.5 and 5 stars is t e r r I b l e TRASH.

The idea of software getting "discontinued" is asinine. We never should have left digital rights get to this state.

this has got to be the worst joystick I've ever used .. but it looks amazing lol

I saved a tired, fat bee. I gave it water and sugar and after a while it composed itself and buzzed away. I feel happy for the little creature

Do you feel History accelerating? Immense pressure on psyche and body. Events that cannot be covered up by Denial. Polars dialectically massing, gravity shifting. Nothing happens for ages and then in a moment, everything happens at once.

I want to

Manifesting hell on earth & laughing at our enemies. Only thing cooler than guns is fascism. Executions will be televised, clown show before and after.

Hello #PortfolioDay ! I make pixel art.

Two boss enemies I made for a shmup gig that did not go anywhere and I had no time for it anymore. Never posted these anywhere before. The brief was to make a bunch of mainly boss enemies in a somewhat less greebly DDP style. #pixelart #ドット絵

I don't think they're gonna do this but I hope they do because let's say someone makes an app with some AI code and it takes off wildly, it's not to their benefit to tout that they used AI which will lead to widespread concealment and shame over AI use even by adopters and that's good

Had a lucid dream I was doing rock climbing in what felt like close to zero G just using hands (fingers, really) with no idea which way was up or down or where the horizon line was. Alien, textural and organic rock. Had to commit to leaps of faith from hold to hold. The dreaming mind is incredible.

I'm watching Ghost in the Cell and now with genAI being what it is it's like the team would switch off these annoying Tachikoma personalities off in 2 minutes flat. STFU and execute the orders clanker

My latest 2023 #pixelart mockup. It is a made up bof.

I quite like how this sketchbook doodle I did yesterday came out.

Music and games are the two art forms that are closest to a lifelong partner for me. Old albums and software I return to instead of just seeking out the new. Deepening understanding, always seeking ways to approach with more respect and putting together a historic shape in my mind. Two love affairs.

Every person resisting in America is my comrade but they and everyone from over there shouldn't be too shocked about the terrible reputation the US has as a geopolitical force and a mover of History. It's absolutely warranted. The struggle remains a class struggle.

And catching sight of Helen moving along the ramparts, they murmured one to another, gentle, winged words: "Who on earth could blame them? Ah, no wonder the men of Troy and Argives under arms have suffered years of agony all for her, for such a woman. Beauty, terrible beauty!"

Watched Bring Her Back with the gf and we both feel like we need Jesus after going through that. Fucking hell. Good horror movie

next time you go to a party with your friends you should move AS a party, in proper front and back row like in a blobber. See if anyone can stand in your way

'retro game' as a consumer category means 'anything that came out when you were a kid'. As a historical category it means - I suggest - anything that displayed on a crt monitor.

the Guild Hall from Shovel Knight Dig Wicked Wishes, with some of its environmental animations slapped on top. #pixelart

a thought on visual novels. A game can not delve deep on ideas without tying them to game systems to some extent. In a visual novel, especially one where the player doesn't get to do much but be exposed you can find absurdly deep dives into all sorts of imaginative concepts, it's refreshing.

I love the PC-98

at some point I decided to no longer use regular dithering because I felt it incongruous with the flat look of newschool pixel art we were pursuing at the time, but under such crt-ish conditions dither rests upon a finely textured dot pattern, so it's in a sense 'all dithering all the time'

I am settling in with the crt-royale filter for this PC-98 escapade. It's been good to test out all sorts of shit but I think it terms of both the rational 'pixel art of the era wasn't meant to be seen without a texture effect' and the decidedly psychosomatic effect of nostalgic halation this is it
