Sometimes I see a cat and go 'ah, Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla'

Orange Island finally has stable split vertical scroll on the NES! #nesdev

Its streaming on Prime, no excuses

If someone told me the 'we dont know how it works' angle was more for legal defense, I wouldn't be surprised

It overproduced every moment from the original, to a fault. Which is largely what my opinion of Remake was. It's basically the same experience but longer. Music is excellent tho.

A picture of magic cards, including promo Dandans and a Beckett Graded 9.5 sealed 5th edition Dandan. The sealed Dandan was the 5th place prize for the 600 person Dandan tournament at MagicCon Atlanta 2025.

At #MCAtlanta there was a surprise Dandan tournament! 600 people entered, but I was the only person undefeated in the swiss with 7-0. Quarterfinals gave me my first loss. Placed 5th overall, which earned me a slabbed 5th Edition Dandan trophy! Thanks for the fun event @mtgsecretlair.com

Oh dope, this may be the first thing I worked on that I'm seeing Wario64 post? I feel like I hit a milestone here

Oh SHIT, this is what I've been waiting for! Now I just need 4k Speed Racer!

How to design a great Metroidvania map The creators of Hollow Knight describe how they built a complex, interconnected world, from sketches to final game.

Back in 2017 (jfc) I interviewed Team Cherry about how they designed Hollow Knight's map, and got a bunch of sketches and mockups from throughout the game's development to go with it. Bringing it back in anticipation of Silksong!

Honestly, there's tons of games that could stand to have Gameboy demakes/ports

This was also my trajectory with these two. Difficulty in Elden Ring is a lot more build based than most people realize, tho various bosses have also been patched over time.

This is the kind of content I'm here for

Yet another nice example of a developer keeping a midrange, composite-only, consumer CRT nearby to check how the game’s visuals would look for the end user.

A drawing of Spyro the Dragon, stitched together from multiple drawings. There is whiteout visible on the drawings as they iterated on the character's design.

Closeup on art detail and whiteout.

Here's a big one...

Craig Stitt allowed us to scan the original concept art for Spyro the Dragon. The Insomniac artists matched heads and bodies together until they found the right design.

We scanned this at high resolution so you can see all the detail.

I'm pretty happy with the care that was put into the presentation and authenticity of this... new game boy package experience. Its got a well done manual, the cart itself has nice touches, and the game works on all my hardware! Long wait, but they did a great job with it.
