I'm getting *really* tired of seeing everyone's #pico8 and #picotron gamedev work, lol - it's really making me want to start my next game but I have a non-game project that needs finished first. So please, just stop sharing all your awesome screenshots. It's too motivating. Thank you.

I admit I haven’t played a ton of new games this year, but Earthion is easily my favorite. So well done and so fun. Even if you’re not a shmup’er, it’s worth your time and money.

“You have 20 seconds to be merry!” I didn’t really know it was a thing I needed but The Wife got me an ED-209 plushie for Christmas. Hilarious and awesome. She’s the best. #robocop #ed209 #christmas #bestpresent #plushie

Doing some cleaning and poster inventory-ing and found this gem. I’m not even sure what happened to Cyrix, who bought them or what. But I sold a lot of those chips back in the day. #retropc #computers #vintagepc #msdos #posters

Long time coming for this one. And finally a reason to visit Detroit…or at least stop on the way through it. #robocop youtube.com/shorts/yiLDL...

Rock n roll has been difficult lately. Shout it out loud, folks, all nite and everyday. #rip #ace #kiss

Tron: Ares was fine...far better than I think the box office and many reviews suggest. It looked like a Tron film but in many ways it didn't feel like a Tron film. Also...where the hell was Tron?! We get the ghost of Obi Wan Flynn but no hint of Tron. Miss. #tron #tronares #disney #wherestron

I'd bet Gruber is the most prolific #pico8 music man since he has graciously made his music available to everyone. I know I've used his music in just about every game I've made.

I have no qualms with the picks here but the order could probably use a little adjustment. Also a reminder that 1988 was a banner year.

It seems a lot of my games feel appropriate for the Halloween & horror season. Because what's more Halloween-worthy than #Ghostbusters? Bustin' is my #pico8 arcade game tasking you with saving the city from Gozer and all the Slimers. Great for parties! Play: morningtoast.itch.io/ghostbusters...

I know better than to hold my breath but the #pico8 Splore browser could really use some QoL updates for helping to organize favorited games. At this point I’d rather have some effort put there than more functions and commands for making games. www.timeextension.com/news/2025/10...

The holiday season is right around the corner and that means it’s almost time for another #pico8 Advent Calendar! Submissions for the 2025 PICO-8 Advent Calendar are open starting today and we’ll be accepting entries until the end of November. More information on Itch: itch.io/jam/pico-8-a...

It's October and the perfect time for my most successful #pico8 game. Adventure, horror, shmup...like all those words? Then you'll probably dig it. Don't Dig Up the Dead morningtoast.itch.io/dont-dig-up-... Deluxe version comes with special in-game item. #october #halloween #horror #shmup

Bouquets & Bunnies is now up on Itch! morningtoast.itch.io/bouquetsbunn... Download also available for PC and the PICO-8 cart. Thanks to everyone that has played and enjoyed! What's your high score so far? #pico8 #gamedev #itch #ufo50 #release #arcade

I miss the days of awesome EQs and wicked visualizers with our music players. In the car, on the computer, everywhere! I would just keep a display going on an extra monitor just to create the "club vibe" in my room (back when I didn't have to worry about power bills).

Bouquets & Bunnies released for #pico8 www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=151... Plant and collect followers to charm back your partner. Avoid the bunnies and grow that high score! A #UFO50 Magic Garden tribute. Go native! Look for it in Splore. On Itch soon. #gamedev #indiedev #arcade #retro

Time to plug in my 360…often forget about this one. So much fun. So fast. easily one of the best Arcade releases. This and Outrun are 2 big reasons I keep my 360 in working order.

I have no nostalgia for the C64 or the ZX but I find myself debating between getting one of them. They just look like fun...but they ain’t cheap. On the good side, if I end up with one, it can’t ruin any memories. Orrrr…just get a Steamdeck and get it all anyway. Choices, choices…

Playtesting is the best and worst...great because it means you're close. Worst because you know you'll find that one little thing you need to fix. #pico8 #wip #gamedev #ufo50

Lords of light! Wrong. Thundarr deserves a modern reboot more than Blackstar. They both pre-date He-Man but I think you could do a lot with Thundarr and his crew these days. Just let someone like Joaquim Dos Santos run things and it would rock.

Easily one of the best all-around games I've played in all my years. Plays good, looks good, sounds good. Arcade damn near perfected. Don't discount that soundtrack either, it's worth a buy on its own. I had good luck using a joystick with this on the Switch. Makes it even more arcade-y.

Guess I need to watch "Sneakers" and "The Natural" real soon. The Natural was my intro to Redford when I was little...anything baseball, I was all about it...and my mom was always happy to watch it thanks to him, lol

Perhaps no other movie impacted my high school gimmick more than Hackers. From the bright orange pager I had to “Hack the planet” written on the top of grad cap. Not unlike Tron, Hackers gave us an awesome visual for what being a computer nerd could be. And it had an incredible soundtrack to boot.

Finally got some time to work on my #pico8 game, now with a new title: Bouquets & Bunnies. Slightly "cuter" than maybe I'd prefer but a little easier to say and remember. Thanks to @russellashby.bsky.social for giving me some better movement math, much better now! Soon. #gamedev #ufo50

I need some recommendations for web hosting services. I've been using Ionos/1&1 for 15+ years. Problems with them are very rare but when problems do happen, they offer zero help. I'm not a sysop or domain admin, nor do I want to be. #needhelp #webhosting #ssl #webadmin #domains

Hell yes. I still have my Shatterhand NES cart and it’s still a great play (and not a cake walk). The NES wasn’t short on platformers but Shatterhand was one of the few where the theme/style got my attention. If this remake is anything like what they did with Wild Guns, we’ll be in for a good time.

I'm not really worried about confusion (I know my niche) but there are a lot of "Tiny Garden" games out there...sooo... Kinda wordy by does have good alliteration, plus it kinda tells the story of the game. #pico8 #details

Anyone going to #gdex this weekend? Not sure I’ll have time to go but I’d like to try. #pico8 #picotron #retrogaming #gamedev

Title! It lacks a little panache but it'll do...maybe. I'm quickly reaching the "I just need to be done" point. Ugh. #pico8 #wip

I don’t specifically design for joysticks but they’re always on my mind when making a game. Happy that my Magic Garden #pico8 game feels great on a cabinet. (Sorry for the super clicky A1Up stick) #arcade #ufo50

To the person that donated/purchased Alien: Harvest today...THANK YOU! I so appreciate when someone shows their enjoyment by putting a few bucks in the jar. Alien: Harvest - morningtoast.itch.io/alien-harvest Best on your #pico8 console but available as a PC download or on the web.

Wanted a animated tutorial but...I'm lazy. This one is close to a release. Still need a title though, lol...and some better sfx but very happy with it overall. The Wife even approves and has been asking to play, which can't be a bad thing. #pico8 #gamedev #wip #ufo50

Next 45 days are gonna rule.

What a wonderful picture to start my day. Thank you, Randy Orton.

He finally agreed to look at the camera! #pyrlife #dogs #pyr

Some fun additions to the collection. First time seeing Mars Attacks in the wild. #funko #gijoe #marsattacks #topps

He-Man, really? We couldn’t get good GI Joe brawler instead? www.pushsquare.com/previews/mas...

It's getting close...quite happy with it thus far. Any suggestions for a title? One of the few times I didn't have a game title before I even started - that's what usually motivates me, lol. Water the dirt and collect the flowers to woo your partner back home. Mind the bunnies. #pico8 #gamedev #wip

Sigh. The small #pico8 grid is great when you want simple but even when you want just +1 above simple, it's...tough. I like the girl better than the very square farmer guy but, well, it's what I got given the 8x16 limit. Unless someone cares to donate some art? :) #pixelart #gamedev #artishard

The receipt for our first family computer, a 486/SX25 circa 1992. Machine + monitor + printer all for a whopping $1,700...which today would be almost $4,000! Where it all started and led to a lifelong hobby and a career. Thanks, mom & dad. #msdos #retro #vintagepc #pcgaming #qbasic

I don't usually demake/port games over to #pico8 - I mostly steal mechanics and sprites - but #UFO50 has me thinking otherwise. Some WIP of my version of the Magic Garden snake game. May need help with some art if anyone's interested :) Bonus: This might actually get finished!

We all shall kneel in respect.

Thank you, Tubi! Hopefully it can be a tip for other streamers that are dropping toons. Just give them to FAST streamers and get *something* out of it, rather than just shoving it an archive where no one can enjoy it. Side note, I easily watch Pluto & Tubi more than other services.

Finally getting to #UFO50 since it got on the Switch and I haven't hit anything in a long time that is so inspiring, especially when in the space of making "tiny" games a la #pico8 and others. Many are great little games but there are so many seeds in there...

Started watching #AlienEarth and it's not bad after just 2 eps. I dig the concept and setup. Nice to have some new #Alien to watch. But also makes me happy about my own contribution to the Alien universe - Alien: Harvest. Play it on #pico8 for the best experience: www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=45162

Some more winners from years past. Really dig the Ignignokt...might toss it into the rotation. #sgc2c #spaceghost #aquateen #brak @amerrill2.bsky.social @ghostplanet.bsky.social
