A few new additions, in case y'all need more retro nerdery in your feeds! 🧡

Just added a bunch more people to our starter pack! Lots of retro tech creators have joined Bluesky in the past few weeks. I recommend following all of them 😊 bsky.app/starter-pack...

you can be against emulation but you miss out on deep comedy

This sounds post-apocalyptic, but aspiring filmmakers and writers really should find and collect DVD commentaries. So much applicable advice you’d never get in film school because it was discovered in the circumstances of making that movie. Big cultural step backward to lose easy access to these.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs ("Hard mode" no Star Wars, Star Trek or LOTR)

📖 Bytes of Game Ads 📺 It all starts here: the golden age of 90s Star Wars PC games. Riding the Heir to the Empire wave of renewed excitement for the franchise, the first of the Star Wars space combat sims took flight in February 1993. Not as good as Tie Fighter, but a strong start.

It’s April 25th!

I think this is what those annoying marketing types call "Being authentic". Very genuine, instant follow.

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏 We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️ Find it here: store.steampowered.com/app/3167970/...

The very first Sega Dreamcast-specific GTA mod has been published! It features custom textures and models, especially on vegetation and specular maps for cars, based upon or taken from the Xbox version, along with easter eggs and more! gamebanana.com/mods/589485 #gamedev #indiegame #retrogaming

Difficult problems sometimes require creative solutions…and this new product from @kaykoba.bsky.social is a game-changer if you have a cranky Mac SE/30. Let’s check it out! youtu.be/7N--GGi32Yw

Ahhh, back when I had motivation lol

If you like arcade racers you owe it to yourself to play this. Plus it has a killed Ska soundtrack done by The Holophonics. store.steampowered.com/app/2737300/...

Mine's gotta be the Cerebral Bore from Turok 2. Absolutely mind blowing (lol) weapon for a 13 year old Jesse! 🤣

BAmiga Sector 1 scrolly. I think this was the first thing I ever saw in an Amiga. Special place 🥹 Still very cool today, and I've finally found a killer use for the mR cos it won't run on an A600 🤷‍♂️

Samus movie poster I made a bit back. One of my fave recent pieces.

This song is in an SMW hack called Entropy and it's so damn good. Plays great on the GUS.

Converting the original Outrun arcade music to the #Amiga 4-channel MOD format, using the original ROM data, a spreadsheet, some Python tools and a big helping of manual massaging. Not perfect yet, but this is still an amazing approach taken by "reassembler" 😍 www.youtube.com/watch?v=8K-H...

Seriously, the importance of The Internet Archive can not be overstated. Please sign the petition, and get the word out there. 🧡

A couple neat finds at the Thrift store!

Maaaaan, a friend reminded me of that time I got to do the voice over for their brilliant Gears of War parody action figure commercial. TWELVE YEARS AGO. Sigh. Good times. 🧡 God I'm old. 😭 (also, game spoilers? I guess??)
