Started coding video games for old 8bit consoles because I thought "simple hardware, simple task".

Part of the #NESdev & #indiegame bubble.

Absurd #retrogaming facts? Humphrey Bogart was once the advertising face for a video game called Soldier of Fortune. Yep, let it sink in.

[Nerd post 🙃] After 30+ years with #Linux (Suse/Red Hat and 25+ years #Debian based) I switched to #ArchLinux and never thought it could feel like this to have missed out on something. Thanks to @cachyos.org for the specific kernel, with so many good adjustments and tweaks (not just performance).

Happy 40th Birthday* to this cool grey box of joy.

Note: * Release day in the USA in 1985. In Japan the console was released in 1983, in Europe in 1986.

After 62 hours and 37 minutes my run through #Cyberpunk2077 came to an end. The game has been part of my life for almost five years and has provided entertainment during many happy moments and many strokes of fate.

Thank you @cdprojektred.com 🙏

Are you an #RetroPie or #EmulationStation player, always looking for new themes? It's your day. 😅 EASTPIXEL released its first theme. I built an #arcade machine right now and liked to have matching theme.

I've been developing Anna (NES/Famicom) for 3 years now and today I'm making an important gameplay change. The timer has been removed. This finally gives enough time to think about next steps. 😍
