I've had one regret with Oyaji Hunter Mahjong, one lingering task left undone.

And now, today, I can finally say...

I'VE BROKEN INTO KENJI ENO'S STAFF ROOM!!! Wooo!!!

(this took like 2 days of decompilation, enjoy my struggles in blog post form~ PHEW~~)

(also Oyaji Hunter v1.1 English patch)
Breaking into Kenji Eno’s Staff Room
Kenji Eno's Oyaji Hunter has a mysterious locked Staff Room, sealed behind a secret key. I break the window, then pick the lock from behind!

From December 24, 1964, you can hear how excited the JIMMY DEAN SHOW audience was for the Rowlf segment, & how popular those segments were. Long before Kermit became the centerpiece, Rowlf was the character that catapulted Jim Henson’s Muppets into the national consciousness…

MASH is great because sometimes it's about the horrors of war and other times Hawkeye just wants some ribs.

Looking for some retro gaming holiday cheer? Check out my compilation of Sierra On-Line's Christmas card demos from 1986 through 1992. When I came downstairs on Christmas morning as a 9 year old, my first computer (a Tandy 1000 EX) was under the tree with the 1986 version playing on a loop. 🎄

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

Here's some more Cool Tech. The Samsung GX TV from 1996, marketed to gamers, which had speakers that were also shutters. It's totally a gimmick and it sounds like CRT enthusiasts are not a big fan, but it certainly looked cool as hell.

The reason why game companies can be so toxic is because its a "dream job".

The low level programmers and animators feel like they cant strike or demand better conditions because theres a line around the block of people to exploit.

This is why there needs to be more unions YESTERDAY
'Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet' is reportedly slated to release mid-2027

• Naughty Dog has enacted mandatory overtime for staff to get back on track after missing internal deadlines

Speaking of The Knightling...

We couldn't afford to spend our entire dev budget on a trailer at THAT award show, but you can see it on Steam! And I'm so chuffed that even though this game is CRIMINALLY overlooked, 100% of our recent reviews were positive! 🛡️
