I've started looking at 240Hz OLED monitors to replace my CRTs and found this chat with ChatGPT to be more than a little exciting if true. #mister #retro

ShaderGlass 1.2.1 is really really neat! #GameboyPocket

I've got the master sword title screen looking a little better. It would probably be helpful to know something about NES programming but make it perfect later right? #NES #ZELDA #HACK

To think of how many hours I spend tweaking other people's hacks of 40 year old games.

If I ever go in to test for autism I might bring it up 😅

I just beat Earthion... THAT'S how you make a shmup! Stellar across the board. I immediately started replaying it which is what I believe you're supposed to do.
I didn't know Yuzo Koshiro and Makoto Wada fulfilled so many roles in its development! So grateful! #earthion #genesis

Some progress on my hack of Legend of Zelda Redux. #NES #Zelda #hack

I've added the Master sword to The Legend of Zelda title screen but can't decide on reflections/shadows on the blade or none.

Taking a little break from Nemo and working on Final Fantasy Adventures. Yesterday spent a lot of time getting the palette addresses mapped out and makeshift palette values I'm good with. Today a bit of spritework. Man the foreheads they put on these guys!

Hearkening back to better days I just had to ask ChatGPT how Obama would have responded in the same situation.

Mucking around with Final Fantasy Adventure DX palette. Just some tweaking really but some monsters looked pretty wild beforehand like the see-thru goblin that looks like a boy in a bat mask no matter what lol.

I made a dedicated discord server for my Little Nemo DX hack if anyone wants to follow it there. discord.gg/5WkMuppz

What ChatGPT had to say:

Almost 3 years of hacking Little Nemo - The Dream Master for NES and still going. I'm not sure what initially possessed me to do so with almost no experience but it's wonderful to see something slowly form into something you love - like a book or drawing.

If anyone has been using ChatGPT to dig to the bottom of political topics be aware that they are beginning to gloss their responses to politically-related questions. BUT, if you ask them to respond in the "rawest, least-filtered" manner it will respond as it has previously, at least for me.

He reminds me of my lego jumping spider project. It’s not on Etsy anymore but it is still on rebrickable.com. We still treat it like a toy and show it to guests.
