Thanks to @gametank.zone for talking to me about the Game Tank, a very cool project to create a new, open source, 8-bit, retro-style console. Listen to my interviews with him and others at PRGE for @hbgameclub.bsky.social right here: bit.ly/hbgc-prge-2025

My kids enjoyed Tron: Ares so much we went back to see it in 3D again. This time they even insisted on a souvenir popcorn bucket.

Haters are dumb, this movie is good

When you like the album but your kids are mildly disturbed by the cover

Tron: Ares: I went in with *very* low expectations. Got a big, mostly dumb action movie with great visuals, a killer soundtrack, and none of the pseudo philosophical Matrix bullshit that weighed down the second movie. It’s a good time! B+

On the question “which of Elon Musk’s many children eventually grows up to be the misanthropic mad scientist who kills us all?” my money is on Grok

I am traveling for work and having a drink in the hotel rooftop bar and holy shit I just realized this is a *rotating* restaurant. I swear to god I thought I was high

Subscriber here! 👋 This issue features an excellent in-depth comparison between the Analogue Pocket, ModRetro Chromatic, and the FunnyPlaying FPGBC. Very interesting (and useful) for fans of Game Boy FPGA consoles!

I just found out someone I know put herself through cosmetology school by trapping muskrats and selling the pelts, and for the record I just want to say that is the most Southeast Missouri shit I have ever heard

Just published an excellent interview on our podcast. Worth a listen for anyone curious about game design, even if retro / homebrew aren’t necessarily your thing

It’s taken about three decades to get there but I have finally started to appreciate the banana album

I’ve been trying to figure out why there’s this textured area in the middle of my car’s dashboard. I’ve concluded it’s a place for charging your solar powered Casio watches

I picked this up for my wife for $12 yesterday in the used record bin. Holy shit, this album is great

This was a lot of fun to watch. Tons of great chiptune music coming out of the #nesdev community right now.
Very cool NES homebrew DJ set on the Midwest Gaming Classic main stage yesterday by @raftronaut.bsky.social with video by HBGC’s own @bartman311.bsky.social

And also some sweet new drink coasters, if you’re into that 🍺

@doodleworldgame.bsky.social My son is coming with me to MGC. He specifically asked if “Doodle World Guy” would be there. He is a fan 😆

Feels like we're finally entering the "FAFO" stage of the Trump Era.

Regardless of anything going on in the news, Signal is a good app and I’ve convinced a lot of my friends to switch their messaging over to it from a lot of far worse platforms
