It is so nice to buy some art made by a real person. :)
Can't afford to commission someone?
Bookmark their page for a better day!
Or grab a postcard, patch, or sticker, if you can scrounge it!

Hey, if this time of year is really, really, really, really, really, really awful for you too, I'm really, truly, genuinely sorry. I hope you find some things to find joy in and some love for yourself.

Thanks to @emmfoolery.bsky.social I have become obsessed with Franco Cozzo, a furniture salesman in Melbourne whose local TV commercials make me feel like someone is hitting the language center of my brain with a chisel

The VGHF is wonderful humans doing wonderful, important work.

If you have the spare cash for a games hobbyist purchase, please consider throwing some their way.

…Otherwise they're gonna hafta commission a Phil Funko Pop or something…
It's Giving Tuesday at the VGHF! We've had an incredible 2025, but we need your help to make sure we can continue doing our charitable work in 2026 and beyond. We just launched our annual Winter Fundraiser campaign, please give if you're able (and share this post!). http://gamehistory.org/donate

I’ve released my first MS-DOS game for the DOSember game jam

Red Planet Twilight is a short piece of interactive fiction about fragility and beauty

I’ve also included a html release of the game for people who don’t have DOS-box

The DOS Game Jam has half a day left, and the response so far has been incredible.

Regardless of whether you end up submitting a project, thanks to everyone who even thought about creating something. Exercising your creative muscles, no matter how dormant, can truly make the world a better place.

Since I'm being crabby about abandonware, I will recommend two folks that I think do a nice job updating games that are no longer for sale and working on modern OS, and take downloads down when they're rereleased

New DOS game release ... by me!

Treasure Hunt II is a textmode game I remember making ~35 years ago. Long lost, I remade it in QuickBasic!

Download / play here: dosgames.com/game/treasur...

I'll post it on itch.io eventually 😅 Let me know if you notice any bugs ... 🐜

Only ≈ 10 days left to submit something for the DOS Game Jam!

Did you know:
💾 There's still time to make something!
💾 You can submit something incomplete!
💾 Perfectionism can severely impact your mental, physical, and emotional health, as well as personal relationships?
💾 DOS Games are fun!

I may end up doing karaoke for the first time in my life this week, in front of a significant audience.

The song can be anything in the world that has a karaoke version.

Please help me decide?

My strengths are pitch, range, and truly Eldritch lung capacity, and my weaknesses are… going mute!!
