Made some games, made some comics, made some records. Perennial pixel artist. This life dedicated to heavy metal lightning steel.

it's fascinating to think that Shadow of the Beast visually is trying to be Cadash (remarkable if you really study the tilesets) and Cadash is a deeper implementation of something like Rastan in terms of visual relations and ground floor feel.... so a lineage from Data EAST to Taito to Reflections

What makes a space, a place? Which videogames had places that truly immersed us?

Hear us get all speculative here. Spoilers, we reach no conclusion.

The idea of software getting "discontinued" is asinine. We never should have left digital rights get to this state.

I saved a tired, fat bee. I gave it water and sugar and after a while it composed itself and buzzed away. I feel happy for the little creature

Do you feel History accelerating? Immense pressure on psyche and body. Events that cannot be covered up by Denial. Polars dialectically massing, gravity shifting. Nothing happens for ages and then in a moment, everything happens at once.

Manifesting hell on earth & laughing at our enemies. Only thing cooler than guns is fascism. Executions will be televised, clown show before and after.

Two boss enemies I made for a shmup gig that did not go anywhere and I had no time for it anymore. Never posted these anywhere before. The brief was to make a bunch of mainly boss enemies in a somewhat less greebly DDP style. #pixelart #ドット絵

I don't think they're gonna do this but I hope they do because let's say someone makes an app with some AI code and it takes off wildly, it's not to their benefit to tout that they used AI which will lead to widespread concealment and shame over AI use even by adopters and that's good

Had a lucid dream I was doing rock climbing in what felt like close to zero G just using hands (fingers, really) with no idea which way was up or down or where the horizon line was. Alien, textural and organic rock. Had to commit to leaps of faith from hold to hold. The dreaming mind is incredible.

I'm watching Ghost in the Cell and now with genAI being what it is it's like the team would switch off these annoying Tachikoma personalities off in 2 minutes flat. STFU and execute the orders clanker
