Once upon a time I was Mr. MAGFest. Then I did a chiptune NIN tribute.

Now I live in a van down by a river, still write chiptunes, run Bloop Museum.

Someday I'll finish a synthesizer I'm building and ditch meat.

Quick update: We hit 200K today, and I'm retaining a lawyer and contacting the real estate broker.

THANK YOU to all who have supported this journey. I know a fair number of our supporters are here.
I need a hail mary or whatever.

This fundraiser — so I can operate a computer & game museum in a building all its own — is 2/3 from being done.

I can start moving when it hits 80%. Deadline: 1mo.

Not asking any one person for 40 grand, but 80 people with $500? That's doable.

Please spread this.
We've crossed another milestone - $160K!

Thank you to everyone donating to our building campaign - we can put an offer in on the one we've selected in just $40K.

Help us go even further: givebutter.com/bloopholiday

So, here's a question. I know we're all tired, but where is the outrage from Kingdom Hearts fans that someone has appropriated a main character's name as an 🅰️👁️ video generator?

Shout-outs to @gamesdonequick.com which is already underway. Not a low badge number but still a cool one!

Brendan's doing a late night #AGDQ2026 panel about how he ended up running #MAGFest back in the day and then Bloop #Museum, and doing Q&A - come on by Friday night at 10PM!

River City Ransom Underground is about to be delisted on Steam. This is a game that means a great deal to me and is my favorite beat em up of all time. They're currently in the process of removing it, but it's still currently available and on sale for $3.

A lot of my life has been pretty rough lately, so thanks if you've been there, helped with @bloopmuseum.bsky.social, or been patient waiting on me. I'm eager to get out of the shitshow

As someone who wanted that "star symphonic" sound for Enterprise, I'm proud to share this before it hits 1K reposts
Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

Everyone, give

your money. They deserve it.

Sorry I'll never get to write those Apple IIGS bangers for your game, Becky - I hope you're finally able to see Jennell again. 🫂
So saddened to lose Burger Becky, teller of stories, coder of games, ports, libraries. Becky was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma just 2 months ago. The gofundme was to help with her care; now it's for the funeral.

seriously thinking about wearing shin guards while building pallets for @bloopmuseum.bsky.social - I've been attacked by a Univac three times in the exact same spot

You know you're busy moving a computer museum when other people have to remind you that it's #BandcampFriday

Anyway, inversephase.bandcamp.com and hopefully I'll get your order out soon if it's physical, please be patient as I drive back and forth and pack/unpack my things

@havocosiris.bsky.social hey, it hits a little weird that you're making people-forward posts that, for example, suggest that AI determining care is bad, but then you have an AI header. My vote is for a new header from one of your fans
