2025 was brutal for games media, but I'm seeing some glimmers of hope as worker-owned sites like @aftermath.site, @rascal.news, and @giantbomb.bsky.social have carved out vital spaces in the games community.
Earlier this year, I made a huge Indie Games Media starter pack for y'all. Let's celebrate.

Merry Christmas Xbox fans! It has been two very challenging years, but work continues on the OpenXHD project.
Hardware is complete, pending updates from the FW dev team. Speaking of which, there is a FW dev team!

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

I finally figured out how you "paint the town red", it starts by opening over-fermented raspberry kombucha in my kitchen and painting the walls

Anyone interested in being a moderator of a retro gaming subreddit? I had inherited 100+ subreddits. DM me if interested. It's a decent amount of work for me to become an "active" moderator to add new mods, so serious replies only please.

I got cozy and wrote some homebrew for Xbox-Scene's Modfest 2025!
This is a simple app that lets you set your Xbox 360's clock past 2025. I learned a lot and even documented a couple SMC commands on Free60 wiki.
Get it on ConsoleMods or the Homebrew Store!

Unhappy with the 2MB storage limitation on Pico Zero and Tiny boards, I decided I needed more. A random discarded 16MB chip should enough!

Literal dealership spyware removed successfully!
It's a third party GPS tracker. When I bought the car, they tried adding a $2k surcharge for the service, saying it can't be removed so we threatened to walk and they said OK we won't charge you for it but it's already installed.

I think this weird experience offset my Craigslist karma for the rest of my life, so now I only get the bad weirdos on Craigslist
I got my JTAG'able in ~2015 by driving two hours for it twice (because he canceled on me the first time), then the kid said he could sense that God wanted me to have it and gave it to me for free along with a bowl of chili
