Coming to you in 12-bit colour! Retro games. Wrestling the Z80. Geek/nerd. He/Him/They. Custard Tarts are good. 🏳️‍🌈
Recently bought a Sony Trinitron TV, it was a bit large for the living area so I set up a gaming nook in my office.

It does dangle out the back at the moment but I'll try and get a new expansion bay door 3D printed that has a hole to permanently and neatly mount the switch.

For now it's just taped in-place on the back.

Added a 50/60Hz switch to my PAL Saturn. IMO this elevates the PAL system from being the last place to being first.

Now my childhood Saturn can have the best of both worlds! Wish I did this sooner.

Some pixel art to commemorate the migraine that I've been suffering today, its the worst one in a while and am still dealing with it.

Only Master System colours today, I didn't think it needed a Game Gear palette this time.

Nearly finished the pattern tool for SMSGFX, pretty happy with it!

Added keyboard shortcuts to make working with the tool easier.

Using it with the colour replace tool takes away worry of painting over the the wrong areas.

Attempted a recap of the Sega Saturn tonight but I wasn't happy with the caps, they're too big for the heat shield, and the job was looking ugly.

So after removing the dodgy caps and partially installing the new ones I've aborted for now.

I'm going to order smaller ones online and try again.

Working on a pattern paint tool for SMSGFX, it's coming along nicely.

This will make it much easier to smoothly blend boundaries between colours. The UI is very work in progress.

A glitchy, but also very purry @flakethelynx.bsky.social.
His cap is a bit too big but that's okay.

Master System colours were harder to find this time but very happy how it came out, especially the glitchy part.

Omega Dragon in 6-bit and 12-bit varieties. Quite the bleppy derg!

Choosing the colours on the Master System version was challenging, but I’m happy with how it ended up.

For just good measure, here he is running on a real Sega Game Gear and Sega Master System.

Here's the Master System version, featuring it's much more limited colour palette. Still cute and photogenic.

While the Master System is more limited, sometimes the limitations produce results that I am more happy with.

I keep being asked by someone to upload my photos from a wedding but how do I tell them that this was the only photo that I took?

(It was a great wedding btw)

Nobody asked for my opinion, but I do like this flavour. 👍

I'm not a huge fan of Oreos but the vanilla and imitation biscuit flavour kinda work well.
