Had a lovely day today at Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo, getting my hands on rad stuff, competing in events, and meeting cool people! 💜 Dead tired rn but I intend to curate pics (and write a blog post, perhaps) tomorrow. #vrge #retrogaming

For someone having a rough go of it right now, this is frankly AMAZING to see. Seems like ArtPlay really knows what they're doing now - looking forward to this. 💜

Haven’t posted in a bit - my apologies, I’ve been dying a bit from stress due to IRL obligations. New blog posts and art are on hiatus until late June at the earliest.

Working on a new blog post - or a series of posts, rather - examining SNK fighting games on handheld systems. Not something I had any intention of writing about until I became obsessed with the topic a couple of days ago. Sometimes that’s just how it is with me. 😅 #SNK #blog #retrogaming

Lupin the 3rd pixel art! Always been a fan of that scene of Fujiko on a motorcycle in the Pilot Film, so I decided to do my own take on it. #lupinthe3rd #lupinsansei #ルパン三世 #pixelart #anime #fanart #digitalart #retro

So I bought a Sega Saturn today. More pics tomorrow when I've got an opportunity to set up some nice shots. #retrogaming #sega #snk

Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995

Somewhat spontaneously, I’ve gotten back into #cycling regularly for the first time since pre-COVID. My knees are sore from all the hills in my area, but I’m definitely enjoying the experience regardless. 😅 💜

Heading back to uni tomorrow. My break was very productive, and I have various projects in the works (art, writing, etc.) that I’ll be finishing soon, hopefully! Stay tuned~ 🫶🏻

After many months of being busy (and procrastinating), I finally got around to finishing this project. Looking forward to getting better at FGs on this! 💜 #3dprinting #fgc #arcadestick

You can tell Bloodborne emulation’s really coming along because the discord has moved on from videos of the vanilla game in 4k60 to stuff like this

Honestly surprised @bsky.app got Verified account features before the ability to set up post notifications for accounts you follow. Still though, I’m glad verifications are merit-based and not just something you pay for. 💙🙏🏻

New blog out - relatively short post talking about what I've been up to since January, and my plans for the coming months. I talk about university, anime, and retro gaming stuff. 💜 Read it here: www.cyberspacecafe.xyz/catching-up-... #blog #writing #retrogaming #anime

I gotta say, making daily to-do lists is great. Being able to look at all the things you did, big or small, and consciously recognize and appreciate your own productivity is a rad feeling. 💜👌🏻

Workin’ on a new blog post. Nothing particularly special - just talkin’ about what I’ve been up to these past few months. 👌🏻

Man, we really need to get Adi Shankar out of the kitchen, dude was NOT cooking with DMC 💀 At this point I legit don’t know what this guy’s goals are when creating shows - if his plan is to ruin everything he touches then he’s doing a damn good job of it. Jfc. #devilmaycry #dmc

Nintendo: “Let’s name this console ‘Switch 2’ to avoid brand confusion” Also Nintendo: “Now let’s sell actual game cartridges alongside carts that are the physical equivalent of a download code” Bruh what the fuck is this 💀 #nintendo

Found three of the Nintendo Power magazines I was looking for today: 106, 116, and 145, which contain coverage of Castlevania Legends, 64, and Circle of the Moon. My game magazine collection is pretty small, I just go for what I’m into. 😅👌🏻 #nintendo #nintendopower #castlevania

Got my first major haircut in ~2 years the other day. Things really just weren’t working out. I’m back to effectively having Snake Plissken hair, and frankly I’m a lot happier with it now. 👌🏻💜 My 2025 self-portrait’s gonna be quite different from 2024 lol

Had a quiet and chill birthday celebration with my two closest friends today. I’m beyond the age of “birthday parties,” but I still definitely see value in having a good, fun time on your special day. 💜🫂

A few things I received for my birthday today. The Orient Express is, for the record, a gift from myself - I missed out on The Emerald Night as a kid, wanted a train like that ever since. 😅💜

Sometimes I think internet users forget that on most social media platforms, anyone can see what accounts you follow. Some people who otherwise seem fine have a whole field of red flags one menu away… 😑 💀

I had hoped to get some drawing/writing done in March, but my schedule is lookin' pretty hellish so that probably ain't happenin'. Damn.

Polished up my tech pixel art stuff from last weekend. Always nice to get in some drawing time amidst my busy schedule. 💜👌🏻 If you can guess which Neo Geo Pocket Color cartridge that is, you get a cookie! #pixelart #digitalart #retro #retrotech #retrogaming #pcengine #neogeo #famicom

Today I spent some time testing the early 2000s Toshiba CRT I found on the side of the road last month. It’s pretty good! Here’s some Castlevania 64 pics. 👍🏻💜 #retrogaming #nintendo64 #castlevania #crtgaming

if gamers want games to be art, they cannot be so fixated on what is and is not "fun." not every game is a mario bros hoo yippee wahoo flow state adventure. you're allowed to feel other things

A little pixel art I drew of Castlevania (Dracula's Castle). Intending to use this as the icon for a Castlevania Discord server I run. Decently different from the art I typically do, turned out quite well I think! #pixelart #fanart #castlevania #悪魔城ドラキュラ #digitalart #castle #konami #retrogaming
