"Robot Detective" has to be my favorite design in Japanese media. It works well every time it's done.

Png To Tiled by 1amowery Windows application for creating sprite sheets and creating .tmx files to be used in the Tiled Map Editor

I made a little program to help me make prototypes and posted it here: 1amowery.itch.io/png-to-tiled. Basically, if you have a big map file from an existing game, you can extract the sprite sheet and then create a Tiled map file from it. It would also be handy for making ports of 2d games.

Every so often I come across this in my camera roll again and I immediately post it

50 Cent: BotS, The Outfit, and maybe the Burger King games for laughs.

Anybody else see this Pokémon ad where a girl and a guy go to a game store but the vibe is of a mom dropping off her kid on the first day of kindergarten? It’s kinda…weird.

Hallowtober 2025 is here

a bald stick figure in a chair with his arms out in front like he’s typing on a keyboard, and he’s got the biggest angry frown imaginable and eyebrows that express frustrated bemusement

my daughter really captured my essence in this portrait of me “at work”

Mo: Do you remember the first time you met someone who said they loved your work on Mega Man 2? Tateishi: You’re the first, in 2013. No one else has. Mo: Wow. I’m surprised. I don’t even have a follow-up question… how could no one come up and say something. Tateishi: … Mo: Now that you know how big Mega Man 2 is outside of Japan, do you look fondly back at the soundtrack? Tateishi: Yeah, my thoughts have changed since I met you and became more aware of how people felt. But even when I was at Konami, I didn’t even bother telling anyone I did Mega Man 2. So the fact you came all the way to Japan to tell me these things makes me very happy I worked on the game all those years ago.

20 years ago, normal people avoided technology and techies would jump on the newest gadgets as soon as they could

now, normal people buy smart toasters & coffee mugs while every techie I know is on the verge of retreating to the forest

This is terrible to hear, SpaceDrake was hugely instrumental in the early days of Japanese PC localization. Rest in peace.

i just made a cool video

The Super Mario 64 source code lists names for Mario's footstep sounds. The list starts off normal but becomes poetic with names like "Footsteps in the Fallen Leaves" and "More Than Anyone Else in the World". It turns out the names are actually taken from a 1994 dating simulator.

Podcasting is now twenty years old. And that means shows that ran for years are now just a bunch of URLs that resolve to nothing.

Sometimes, someone uploads a full set of mp3s to archive.org, and that’s great! But you can’t easily listen the same way as your other podcasts.

What if you could?
