Today also marks the 21st Anniversary of my favourite console ever, the Nintendo DS! 💫
It's where I've found my love for JRPG, playing my first Final Fantasy, my first Dragon Quest, Golden Sun, Chrono Trigger...
On top of many very creative and original games using its gimmicks!
Top 10 later...

Rebecca was one of the founders of Interplay and programmed & designed for some of the most influential games of my youth, notably Bard's Tale I & III and Wasteland. She will be missed.
My trailblazing game industry bad-ass friend Rebecca Heineman has passed away.
Fuck cancer.

The Steam Machine will live or die on its pricing, I think, but it's hard not to be bullish. SteamOS is fantastic and the Steam Deck has been my most-used gaming machine since it came out nearly four years ago

One thing that bothers me about the Liquid Glass is how poorly the redesign pairs with the Reduced Transparency option accessibility option. macOS 26.1 improved it, but why do toolbars (at least on Apple's native apps) have these garish drop shadows?

Experimental post: Mode 7? What About Modes 1-6?
Some games on the SNES, such as Super Mario Kart, boasted "Mode 7" technology. However, this raises the question of what happened to the previous modes. This post explains them and gives examples of their usage in Mario games.

it's kinda weird that all the software i am expected to use for work are all written by distributed teams, go, python, postgres, linux, chrome, k8s etc
and despite being told "the best teams work in an office together" i don't know of any software i use that's actually written that way

TIL that on macOS, if you press the ⌥⌘F5 key combination or hit the Touch ID button three times rapidly, it brings up a sheet that lets you quickly toggle accessibility options.

Picked this up from a local game store (with the box and manual)! Sonic 2 was the first game I ever played, and still my favorite game of all time. It’s good to own the original cartridge again.

If you love some tab, set it free. If you load it again later, it was meant to be. And if the content doesn't come back, it was never yours...
Or wait for oom-killer to do it for you 🤣

Bit the bullet and updated to iOS 26 and… I don’t completely hate Liquid Glass. It does have legibility/contrast issues and bugs (in Music, Safari, and Files in particular) but overall, it does feel fresh and reminds me of early OS X. In both the good AND bad ways.

Overall impressions on the Switch 2:
- It feels premium, and I think is worth its asking price.
- Mario Kart World is fun, but it feels… not as tight as 8? No way it or any game is with $80.
- Compared to others, I actually enjoyed the Switch 2 Welcome Tour, but it should have been bundled in.

In Super Mario 64, getting burned while twirling preserves Mario's angular momentum. The next time he starts flying as Wing Mario, the preserved momentum from the twirl suddenly returns and spins Mario around.

Got an email from Nintendo that my Switch 2 has shipped. Looks like somebody passed in undefined/null/0 when creating the date timestamp. It’s been shipping since the Unix Epoch!

Yesterday, I uploaded the ISO image of one of the rarest videogames known to exist, of which a single copy is known to exist in the online world. After years of appeals, its owner finally agreed to share it with me so that I could in turn share it with the world.
