Is there a more iconic 80s fantasy movie than The Neverending Story? #retroFlashback

Not a full run, so I can't submit to #GWPHighScore... but here was a practice run I made on Contra to see how far and fast I could get! www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOvs...

You know what I kind of miss? I can't even specifically name what it is - but there was this sort of nerd/geek culture revival late 2000's into early 2010's. I feel like there was all these people and small companies celebrating nerd/geek stuff that was fairly organic. Even bigger companies like...

Well, I gave in to the hype for @playbalatro.com and I am not mad at all! The game is really really fun! I can see why it got so many awards! It is fun, simple in approach, but has a lot of depth. The visuals are great (I love retro!) and the music and SFX fit so well. www.twitch.tv/videos/23763...

Ok, trying again with right link:

My Pirate Jam 16 entry is at a pretty final demo state for judging. There maybe a couple smallish changes, but with only a day or so left this might be pretty close to a wrap (for now).

Added some new simple levels to my Game Jam game: retrogamingdev.itch.io/artifacts-es...

(Unfortunately, only really works on desktop browser… but maybe I will get some mobile compatibility in sometime).

I have to be honest, I didn’t think I’d actually stop using Twitter… not in a million years. But, it is now to the point that just about every 4th thing I scroll by is a political ad. I may check in periodically on it, but it feels like there is no going back to what it used to be anymore.

Looking through old Dec 1988 Nintendo Power and found this cool holiday ideas section. So many cool items here. Does anyone still have any of these things? (Share pics if you can!) #nintendo #holiday

This is bonkers!! I had never heard of this, and it looks amazing (for the Wii especially)
🚨BREAKING🚨: After a decade of research, a new Nintendo Wii build of Star Wars Battlefront III has been FOUND by the Free Radical Archive!

Made in the final week of development, the build is full of content never seen before by fans.

Wow! I didn’t think I’d get close to 500 followers so quickly! Always hesitant to start new social accounts, they seem to come and go. But really glad I moved over to Bluesky! Lots of awesome people here and quality conversations! 😁👍
