In loving memory of Nintendo Switch finger snaps 2017 - 2025

Textboxes are online! This is is crucial since I do want to do more than just damage, so triggers and status effects. Text space will be a resource to manage here... #pico8 #gamedev #indiedev

Pong is a girl confirmed

The moderation changes Meta is making across its platforms is another opportunity for me to remind you that having your own actively maintained site is one of the best ways to assure that people will always be able to find you, no matter what happens to the social media sites you don't control.

Was anyone else wondering what losers say? It turns out that "Genius" is what losers say.

Here’s my year in review post for 2024: freshfeeling.dreamwidth.org/54708.html

Let the world's largest iceberg inspire you: Even after spending months spinning in the same spot, you too can become unstuck.

Profiled! Samus Aran in her first four games. Zoom in to see the CRT phosphors glow! Metroid (1986) Metroid II: Return of Samus (1991) Super Metroid (1994) Metroid Fusion (2002)

Experimental Post: Goombamon! I present 18 obscure Goomba facts, one each for every Pokémon type.

This month's magazine from @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social was a frankly incredible January 1992 issue of Nintendo Power.

Well this is grim

Sometimes I still think about Captain N: The Game Master doing a story about someone wishing to be taller to play basketball and ending up 50 feet tall as the wish goes awry - TWICE. How the heck do you do such an oddly specific plot, TWICE??

I don’t know what I’m doing. I just wanted to fit in. :(

It's so fucking cool that a massive outlet for independent games and art can be taken down by landfill chaff makers without a single human at either funko or the domain registrar even being involved.

My big project: The Death Generator. It's a tool for making fake video game screenshots, just fill in new text and it'll give you a (generally) pixel-accurate image back, the correct fonts and everything. deathgenerator.com

I’m doing the Chrono Trigger Challenge this year! Gonna play through Chrono Trigger with Chrono, Marle, and Ayla (when possible) before the end of the month! This challenge is a fundraiser for Translifeline! Please donate (and play the challenge! Chrono Trigger is basically perfect!) if you can!

Post a photo of a random game from your collection here on Saturday. I picked Symphony of the Night for PS1. Ain’t exactly obscure but I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately, because of Vampire Survivors and metroidvanias. My kids just started playing it, too.

It's time I introduced Bluesky to my favorite Final Fantasy 7 Glitch. Anyone can do this on the original PS1 copy. Swapping to Disc 2 early, prior to entering the Ropeway to the Golden Saucer for the first time, leads to this amazing FMV + Music combo.

huh!

YOU GUYS 😳

"I got an Android on Cyber Monday" is a sentence our grandparents all assumed we'd be saying by now, but for much radder reasons

I’ve begun! Crono, Lucca, and Ayla. Using my script to force this party is all battles sure makes the early game different… mostly easier. Mostly. #chronotrigger freshfeeling.dreamwidth.org/53503.html

New board game shelf! First time taking some of these out of the moving boxes since we came to this house in 2021. Some, like Dungeon Kart, are much newer.

New month, new event! #DECEMBERFIESTA2024 fourjobfiesta.com/cthc

It looks like @revenantkioku.bsky.social ‘s December challenge is Chrono Trigger again! I think I’ll do it again, especially since I wrote (and fixed) that auto-character-forcing Lua script for Bizhawk/SNES9X last year: github.com/FreshFeeling... I just hope I get substantially different characters!

Vampire Survivors isn't over, we have more content on the horizon 🦇 here's our highly cryptic chaos roadmap update, good luck working out what's next ✨

Every year, I watch my mother peel potatoes like a goddamned witch, and I'm reminded of this tweet.
