Nice! I did the same thing back in 2003. I wired up a mouse and keyboard to plug into the controller ports, and a cd drive popped out of the cartridge slot. (Sorry this is the best pic I have.)

I really want to build a new one someday and use it as a home theater pc.

The #deathstranding2 soundtrack actually has a song called 'Crab Battle.'

A rare non-tech/game post…

My wife and I recently had to say goodbye to Bruce. He was the raddest dog on the planet, and my best friend for the last 12 years.

Words can’t express how much he’ll be missed. 💔

So stoked for this! Hopefully this also means new music from Akira Yamaoka. #SilentHill

Sometimes game dev is designing levels, drawing cool characters, and writing fancy shaders... Then sometimes it's just trying to normalize the inputs for your controller's analog sticks.

Screenshot of some Rust code that normalizes an input value from a game controller's analog stick.

I’m trying to get the DualSense speaker working in Siren…

Listen Carefully: That music is not coming through the speaker. It’s actually playing via the controller’s haptics! 😅

I’ve never owned an XBox, but I just bought this for #gamedev purposes. Seriously, this thing takes AA batteries?!?

Some weekend reading material just arrived. I ordered this thing way back in March ‘22!

Siren is primarily a 2D engine, so I debated the importance of implementing lighting via normal maps. Dragon Quest III HD-2D has convinced me that it's absolutely an essential feature.
(Ignore that it's a 3D game. I'm focusing on the lighting of the sprites and it's beautiful.)
