1X111 by @abagames.bsky.social one of the classic japanese game hobbiests, Kenta Cho recently tied together 111 of his single-button games into an old-school wario-ware you can play on your phone (he's been making tiny free games since the 80s) abagames.itch.io/1x111

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

Prior to this week, you could only listen to the most recent music I've released by visiting Walkabout Coffee in Jimbocho, Tokyo. Now you can listen to the album online! music.apple.com/us/album/wal... (I still highly recommend stopping by the cafe for fine cup of coffee if you're in the area.)

Sigh. I got the results from the cat scan yesterday. My right lung has a membrane that's normally the thickness of plastic wrap. It's current 1cm to 2cm thick. That's the tumor. I’ll be setting up a gofundme to help with my medical bills

i was so busy editing @insertcredit.com yesterday that i didn't realize it was the 5 year anniversary of me editing the show. that rules. i love this show.

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

The GAH roars back with its threesome of @michaelgshapiro.bsky.social @tr606.bsky.social and @vincentdiamante.bsky.social to talk games, audio, and of course: #gameaudio! Drop on by as we poke at old middleware, older pianos, and some not so old album releases! open.spotify.com/episode/5BAX...

Our next meetup is in three weeks! Saturday, September 6th from 2pm - 6pm at the Arts District Brewing Company. Hope to see you there!

Excited to get back to work? I bet you are! At LEAST as much as @tr606.bsky.social and @vincentdiamante.bsky.social are for getting back in the groove with the GAH! Have a fix of our #gameaudio podcast for you (folks in the US) to enjoy the extended weekend! creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

Hello!!! Are you at PAX? Me too! Come visit me at the @limitedrungames.com booth on Saturday, I'll be there for a Clock Tower signing starting at 1:30pm!! 😙

In 1933 the Nazi Party looted and destroyed the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (Institute for Sex Research) in Berlin, the first clinic for modern gender-affirmation surgeries in the world. The Institute's library and archives were publicly burned.

Important news about our upcoming tactics RPG, Demonschool from @necrosoftgames.com! We're delaying it to Nov 19, for exactly the reason you're thinking! See ya then! 1/2

We hope you'll still support us through this delay - it's tough on everybody as we were doing a massive push to the finish line here, and now we're looking around like zombies. But you'll get more game, more polish, and we'll try to make it worth your while. Still would've liked to fight Silksong.

The last time I cried in public was earlier this year when a (likely volunteer) researcher at the National Museum of Natural History spent time to show my hyperactive 1 year old son an artifact that he was preparing for an exhibit. Catching up on the news from yesterday marks the most recent time.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down operations after loss of federal funding:

Why do billionaires hoard money beyond what they can easily spend? It's simple: They view money as an arcade leaderboard, and are competing for the high score. Ted Turner looked down on this behavior in 2008, but Obama attributed the thought to him. Was Turner the one who famously said it? 🧵

Oh man we are making land in here Cc @qqbert.bsky.social and @vincentdiamante.bsky.social

A foreigner served as an advisor for the "Japan First" party: Matt Braynard, an former Trump campaign staffer who founded Look Back America, an organization that supported the January 6 defendants, appeared on OAN as a "Sanseito party advisor."

I'm back in town for CEDEC, which means you can easily find me with my bright blue shirt with cats and lemons, along with my LA Dodgers hat that's secretly also a LINE Friends hat. instagr.am/p/DMZSsAFRRfI/

it is bonkers-wild that after a decade of Vagina Bones controversies and gamergate bad faith accusations, a journalist went out and exposed actual video game censorship in the genuine and harmful sense and The Article Got Pulled By The Publisher.

Thankfully it looks like the wayback machine managed to capture it before it was taken down. web.archive.org/web/20250720...

VICE's owner Savage Ventures has requested the removal of my Collective Shout articles. This is due to concerns about the controversial subject matter—not journalistic complaints Effective immediately, I will no longer contribute to Waypoint. I suggest letting VICE's owner know if this upsets you

What the ACTUAL FUCK, @humblebundle.com ? Is this your idea of a sick joke?

Visual Studio hates me today. Time to work on this Unity project with the ultimate IDE: BBEdit.

Thanks to my daily dose of Los Angeles sports radio, I now have Jeffrey Osborne's hit single "On the Wings of Love" stuck in my head. Here: have some hot Kyoto summer morning.

Nooooooo! The ice cream parfait place I made sure to visit multiple times during BitSummit weekends is closed...

Totally failed first night of BitSummit. Got drenched in a passing rain storm. Crashed from jet lag at 5 PM, then woke up at 10 PM. Worked on Unity shenanigans for the last two hours. I guess I should try to find some dinner?
