Starting off spooky season with a not so spooky favorite.

She came home and asked to play Mario 😎

Spooky game season is upon us!

One of the best to do it, @gst.melosylexia.com profiles (and arranges, as probably the first to do so!) musician Yoko Wada, a criminally underrated and unknown Master System / Game Gear composer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0C1J...

The only reason I haven't bought Final Fantasy Tactics: Ivalice Chronicles yet is because I can't decide on which platform to buy it for. What'd everyone decide on?

The kid said they were bored so it's back to the basics.

A quick stop by the 1980s magazine rack.

I hosted a Magic the Gathering Spider-Man draft/sealed event with 5 adults and 5 kids tonight. Adults drafted while the kids played sealed/constructed decks and everyone had a great time. Now I'm exhausted.

Do you ever just wake up in the mood to play Godzilla on NES?

Sega without limits.

I took a gamble on a D&D lot found in a storage unit and it paid off! 1981 B/X and most of the 1983-1985 BECMI rulebooks in great condition. Now I need the Expert and Immortals rules to finish it up.

It's worth coming to see! I promise!

I had so much fun the first time I went back for a second day of prerelease. I went 2-1 and played an entirely different deck.

When you need to store important files.

Mr. Dont Walk Man has arrived at the Cleveland Gaming Classic.

The Spider-Man prerelease was awesome. I won all my matches and won 8 out of 9 games!

Okay, off to sling cards at another MtG prerelease event! Wish me luck.

All the Sega intros for Eternal Champions. This was a really cool idea to showcase the characters on game boot. I should rerecord this in 4k. youtu.be/xZ90MpDFwMs?...

Walked into my LGS for some Magic cards but walked out with a Dreamcast RF adapter 😎

New blog post! The Sega Master System... Girl? Another variant of Sega's 8-bit console that I haven't looked at before; I hope you enjoy! nicole.express/2025/sega-mi...

I saw so many blue-tailed skinks today.

I coincidentally picked these two disparate books to read back to back without knowing they were connected.

As a developer that has been fairly public: we're not equipped to deal with the deluge of abuse and hate that comes our way - and I'm an indie, I'm literally responsible for my own choices. Can't imagine having to stand in that torrent for choices the stakeholders forced despite my objections.

Labor Day Sale! Save 15% site wide: retrofrog.net Sale goes through to midnight on Sept 1st. Times are tough, so help a small business out and like and repost this if you have a moment!

Bathroom renovated!

Apparently, working from a basement with little sunlight was unhealthy so I've taken over another room of the house.

This will always be THE Magic card for me. I know many think of Black Lotus but Shivan Dragon was my jam.

Not my most fiscally responsible purchase.

Did you know Record of Lodoss War originated as a written account of a D&D game in a magazine in 1986 before it became a novel and then anime?

Brewing a MtG deck for our group's commander box league.

This game always makes me wish I had a giant LED matrix at home to program stuff for.

Time to finally try this game I bought on the intended platform.

The kid is home for the day so naturally we're going to roll credits on Batman Forever the arcade game.

At first glance I thought this aged sign had some sort of ice level game font.

Hit up the local game store. Only 4 cards away from completing the Final Fantasy set now.

Geometry Wars is still amazing.

I loved the Final Fantasy set so much I figured I should own the commanders.

Indoor cat outdoors.

Opened this sealed 30 year old Magic the Gathering Starter set.

I can finally play this the right way now that I'm home.

If IGN has layoffs, nobody in games press is safe. If Microsoft has layoffs, nobody in platforms is safe. If Ubisoft and Bungie and NetEase have layoffs, nobody in game development is safe. If the Romeros get their funding pulled, no studio is safe. It's rough out there, right now.

Found the good stuff at the beach.

<insert "we have a vewlix at home" meme>

I'll be spending my birthday tonight playing the MtG Edge of Eternities pre-release draft tournament at my local game store. I can't believe it's already time for a new set.

I released my little game on Steam last night...for the first time in my life! It's a super retro roguelite shooting game, heavily inspired by classic games such as Space Invaders. If you're a fan of simple games from the 80s, please check it out! store.steampowered.com/app/3720960/...

New 240hz MSI OLED monitor arrived today but it's damaged and every 6th vertical line is off color. 😩

Assembled my 3D printed ITX Llama case!

Here's an unopened starter set for Magic the Gathering from 1995. It's interesting that the price of their starter sets is still the same 30 years later.
