team-realm.itch.io/elmer I did the music for this, and now you can play it on your #Playdate! Check it the fuck out! #ELmER #TeamREALM #chiptunes #IMadeThis #BeepBoopMusic

I like making music for this guy. #ELmER #Playdate #BeepBoopMusic

I put around 6 hours into it. Is that enough time to say Donkey Kong Bananza is boring? To be fair, I didn't like Odyssey that much. I'm not a sandbox fan, I much prefer Galaxy. So why did I think DK was going to be for me? Looks like it's going for $50 on eBay...

Thank you, Panic. #Blippo+ #Playdate

So Steam has a sale every season? Oh.

So if Bobby is 21 in the new KotH season, where was he when Hank and Peggy were in Saudi Arabia?

I was gifted a Switch 2 and am in the process of transferring everything off my S1. I don't have a memory card yet, so to make sure I have enough room, I'm deleting some of my lesser loved games. And it's cathartic: "Oo fuck that game, I wasted 2 bucks on it, die you piece of shit die die die!"

I don't understand the point of putting sandwich toppings on the side. Like, you're going to put those pickles on the thing later, why not let me do it while I'm making it? You're splitting the sandwich with someone who doesn't like peppers? Great, I'll put them on only one half.

OPEN LETTER: to Conservatives who are compiling databases of people who don’t express sadness at Kirk’s death, in order to call their employers & get them fired. I realize they truly feel self-righteous about this. But on sheer statistics, alone, they are completely fucking delusional. THREAD:👇🧵

Turns out the music I've made for Playdate is mixed wrong; it's much quieter on the device than on my laptop. I have downloaded a "game" I can add my music to and then sideload to test, but it looks cumbersome and I have to learn some code and Idontwannadoit but I have to. That is today's project.

1. I will buy a physical copy of Galaxy 1+2 with the money I get from selling 3D All-Stars, which I only got for Galaxy. I really hate 64 (almost all of the games on N64 make me feel uneasy, like watching someone else's low-poly nightmare) and Sunshine never did anything for me.

I caved. I got the mug. It was $30 after shipping. #Blippo+

There's some new songs on my Playdate portfolio. The main theme, "Thinky 4," from an Untitled Survival Puzzle Horror Game by Jaime Martinez, and two noise-heavy tracks from Team Realm's surreal ELmER. fatherbingo.bandcamp.com/album/playda...

I have never played a Pokemon game. @marcelynthehuman.bsky.social said I should start with Crystal, and that I'd probably hate it. I'll keep you updated.

and now I have 5 consoles that can play retro games that I will never play.

In this thread: Playdate stuff I want, but won't buy because I will never use it. #1. This cute li'l pin. Where would I wear it? I do have a laptop bag that has a ton of pins on it, and this would be at home there, but I'm not spending $20 for another pin on my bag. Maybe I could wear it on a hat?

└A➝ You’re invited next Thursday, August 7th, to the historic Bob Baker Marionette Theater in Los Angeles. It’s a party, exhibition, puppet fashion show, and demo — all in one! 🍾 RSVP for entry: partiful.com/e/sILTWX7v4o... @panic.com @play.date @com.y-a-c-h-t.com @telefantasytv.bsky.social

There's a new track on my Playdate portfolio. Attentive readers will recognize it from my last post about a puzzle + ResEvil game, but now with Phil Collins drums. fatherbingo.bandcamp.com/track/thinky...

I wrote music for a game described as "puzzle + Resident Evil," meaning you solve puzzles as you're being chased by a monster and there's also inventory management involved. Sounds intense. Here's what I came up with: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ytfm0...

I made music for a tiny tiny game called ELmER. It's atmospheric and relies heavily on the "noise" channel. I'm not putting it on my bandcamp portfolio, but you can listen to it here: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

LET BLINKER DIE.

Sometimes I smell like a city garbage strike When all the horseflies grow to three inches long -the Dead Milkmen

I think Renzo Sixlove is getting the words ahead of time.

Alright, my 3DS is hacked. So now I have a fourth console filled with emulated retro games that I will never play.

I kind of need this, but I'm a little drunk right now and I don't allow myself to shop drunk anymore. that's what getting older is about, kids.

Apparently the 3DS is Wii-level hackable. A project for my next days off. 3ds.hacks.guide

Also, this.

Here we go again...

And now I can meet the man. With dignity. #TooManyGames #tmgexpo #CharlesMartinet #ItsaMeCharles #Runner3

I'm going to #TooManyGames on Saturday to have Charles Martinet sign my copy of Runner3. He's not only the narrator but also a playable character, and I've yet to unlock him. This is tonight's mission. It will be the first time I play the game not stoned.

In other work news, my favorite customer is alive and well. They have no idea we worship them.

My manager told me that today in their daily 10am huddle, the subject of music was brought up. "Could you please tell the individual to stop? We are looking into it with corporate." Nice that they're listening, but I have at least 2 more good ones in me that are going to rot on the vine.

A letter to corporate Here is an interesting fact about the music this store is playing. The song “That Thing You Do” is from a movie (directed by Tom Hanks) of the same name. The song is 2 minutes and 47 seconds long. The movie is 1 hour and 48 minutes long.

Oh shit, my favorite pizza place is now open until 2am. I'm gonna get so fat.

Blippo+ doesn't look right in color... youtu.be/aKTXT_0RlFM?...

Rather proud of this one. #Playdate #Season2 #WheelSprung (missed the acorn, though)

A letter to corporate Here are some interesting facts about the music this store is playing. “Weird Al” Yankovic has parodied 8 songs that are on the playlist. They are: “Addicted to Love” by Robert Palmer “Complicated” by Avril Lavigne “I Want It That Way” by Backstreet Boys

I fuckin love #Blippo+ #Playdate #Season2

Happy Switch 2 Launch Day to those who celebrate.

Oh hey, the lyrics to Float On go: Bad news comes, don't you worry, even when it lands / Good news will work its way to all them plans And here all this time I thought he was saying, "Haunr dirb durbis eiutinfni jrndujdu76 3!_7(jduensudn"

#Playdate #Season2 is off to a good start... #Blippo+ is amazing; I hope there's weekly updates. Meanwhile, here's some #FulcrumDefender for you.

A letter to corporate: Here are some interesting facts about the music this store plays. Britney Spears is mentioned in three different songs (“Don’t Let Me Get Me” by P!nk, “Party In The U.S.A.” by Miley Cyrus, and “1999” by Charli xcx), however she is, by far, not the most represented artist.

House Republicans just passed Trump’s Tax Scam (the GOP’s Medicaid-slashing, billionaire-enriching megabill) in a 215-214 vote. The bill got even worse overnight, but the most important thing to know right now is this: This fight isn’t over, and this bill can still be stopped. 🧵
