Long Line Riders return to Wiggle Room Milwaukee October 10th 🕷️

Naked corruption

The Sora AI thing is proof of something very important: The technology itself is useless without the ability to use the likenesses of real, living, unpredictable people, and the art they create. And the only way to get those likenesses or that art is to summarily steal it.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Give folks their flowers No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier "They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

I did all the music and sound effects on Mega Kaiju Boom Ball 😎

this business model should be flatly illegal taking on a bunch of debt to buy a company and then burning the company to the ground to service that debt while paying yourselves huge fees is a purely destructive practice that has never once had a positive outcome ban it completely

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

Special thanks to the @milwaukeerecord.bsky.social and Matt Wild for highlighting Mega Kaiju Boom Ball! Milwaukee is a homebrew hub, after all. #nesdev #neshomebrew #midwestgamingclassic #creamcity #miltown #indiegames #8bit #indiegamedev milwaukeerecord.com/arts/new-mke...

The media have to start framing this accurately. The president is now functioning as a tyrant. The story is whether the other two branches of government will do anything to stop him.

This is incredibly gross. If you know anything about Wounded Knee, this is like handing out medals to Auschwitz guards. Incredibly gross 🤮

Aelita: Queen of Mars was released 101 years ago today. "A mysterious radio message is beamed around the world. Aelita is the daughter of the ruler of a totalitarian state on Mars. With a telescope, Aelita is able to watch Los." Back to the early years of sci-fi:

“Go see more club shows” is always good life advice. Music clubs afford you the intimate kind of experience that you can never get at a concert sized venue.

🌈I've been working on the NES Rainbow mapper a lot lately, trying to squeeze a bit more features and fixing some issues. I also ported it for the Everdrive N8 Pro so everyone can now play with it on their computer with Mesen2 or with their NES! So if anyone is curious, links are below...

Jay at GFD Gaming has posted a preview of Mega Kaiju Boom Ball, which has a Kickstarter launching at 12PM CST TODAY! Give them a sub and check it out!

Learned how to play the fiddle this year, which has brought me quite a bit of joy!

Had a truly great time at Bayview Bash, my favorite of Milwaukee’s ample street festivals! It’s always a struggle to define what this band does since country & western is a nebulous blob of sub genres, but playing outside is the best advertisement for our electric honky tonk-harmony sound. 🤠

The beer that made Milwaukee famous. #TCMParty #TheOddCouple ^JW

It is absolutely insane to me that we're having a debate over whether or not the rightwing deploys violent rhetoric within days of a Fox News personality calling for homeless people to be killed by lethal injection. There is no excuse for this obliviousness. It's unacceptable.

Pure insanity the way these good Korean people were treated here. Everyday we have to confront new shameful lows in ethics and civility. Trump has driven us to the absolute brink of barbarism. It’s going to take decades to undo this cruel shit show.

Playing a flea market this afternoon at 1pm around the corner from my house 😎

We need people to test dev roms and make sure my shoddy programming doesn't break. The only requirements are that: - you can run an NES emulator - you've played (and loved!) the NES Dragon Warrior games - you can spend some time with the test builds and report back on your experience Send DM!

forget March 10, September 13 is the real Mario Day as Super Mario Bros launched on this day in 1985

This is what Mario looked like when I was a kid. Literally—same TV set. Nice and blurry 😁

Free Honky Tonk show at Wiggle Room on Friday 🐽 #milwaukeemusic

Don’t miss this amazing interview with Pubby, NES developer and creator of NESFab.😍☕️ Loved it! #NES #homebrew #nesdev #indieNES #indiegames #gamedev #NESfab

The NES game library is full of technical wonders! One of my favorite effects has to be the spotlights 🔦 in "Rescue: The Embassy Mission." What’s even cooler is how SIMPLE it is to achieve if you know the tricks! Let me break it down for you! 🧵 #nesdev #screenshotsaturday

It's been 40 years since the NES was released in North America. And a whopping 50 years for the CPU which powered it: the MOS 6502. It launched at $25 in 1975, orders of magnitude cheaper than its competitors and became of the most successful microprocessors of all time. #NESdev

I don’t think I even realized there were power ups in this section 😳 Anyway, this is one of my favorite bad games. A truly mild good time. 🤠

surely we can come up with something better for 7 billion people than being lorded over by a bunch of plundering elderly murder and torture enthusiasts who whisper to each other about printing spare organs so they can immiserate others in perpetuity

Also I think in this day and age non-governmental archives are very important. Doing my thing outside of the government holds a lot of value because no one can vote to cut my funding. (as if I had enough to cut) PS if you wanna boost my funding: patreon.com/dollarcountry

Visiting Mom this weekend

Just saw someone refer to Cheryl Hines as The Marvelous Mrs. Measles and 💀💀💀💀💀💀

Not everyone has an e-reader, so I’ve been working on a web-based version of Dizzy Sheep Disaster you can play from a QR code or a link. It’s coming together well! #screenshotsaturday

Sure seems like these unconscionable tariffs are designed to hurt small business the most.

This guy is also an incredible drummer.

Tariffs will now be applied to all e-commerce packages entering the U.S. as the de minimis tariff rule ends, per WSJ

Worried about egg prices? Well, here comes the eggpocalypse
