I'm pleased to report that Tactus is working perfectly on real hardware using this mapper. How delightful! I'll include it in the next demo release so folks can finally give it a whirl on their real NES consoles.

Layout here is definitely not final. I'm lukewarm on the 2x-sized weapon icon, which causes the dreaded mixels. 😱
If I keep this layout, I might draw PC-exclusive weapon artwork just to work around that. Undecided, and thoughts welcome!

My very poorly informed understanding is that the USPS is imposing the $80 flat rate. Do we know how this affects other shipping methods? Did FedEx/DHL just get a **lot** cheaper?

Wow, this is super polished for how quickly it came together. I'm having to un-learn all my Tetris intuition, because the "trouble" I get into in this game is very different. Great fun, I hope there's a cartridge release in the works!

Oh I'm not even upset at itch. Their response is completely reasonable given the surprise requirements and seems like it has a sensible path to resolution. (Sounds like games can pick and choose payment processors?) No, the torches and pitchforks are aimed squarely at Visa and Mastercard. Seriously?

Sometimes past Zeta leaves good documentation, and other times he was clearly fatigued. Whose code I'm dealing with 6 months later is a tossup.

Gosh this looks neat! Love to see more lighting mechanics on the NES. It's really tricky to pull that off on this hardware!

I looked into this briefly and I'm glad it was as simple as it seemed to be. I'm thrilled that FPGA authoring is available to hobbyists, even if the tooling can be hard to parse at times. (Quartus is at least far more pleasant than Xilinx. Eyuch.)

Spotify just doesn't understand the appeal of the 5-hour OST loop of that one town theme

Zenless Zone Zero has some of the most*amazing* looking animation for any game I've ever seen, and I am happy to never ever actually install it or play it for any reason. Gacha mechanics are a plague on this industry.
