Honestly, this looks like what AI comes up with when I ask for an 80s computer.

I have this, one of the few Famicom carts in my collection. It is interesting, pretty fun - though difficult.

Agreed. There is really nothing wrong with the game, quite nearly perfect IMO.

1. Hard to say for sure, I was probably 5... but good chances it was something like Pitfall or Astrosmash on the Intellivision.
2. The original Legend of Zelda
3. I am pumped for the next mainline Zelda game... Also, I play a lot of 7 Days to Die, I am excited for a follow up.

.. Or perhaps it replaced by the next generation's 'culture'. Maybe it is out there and I just don't see it now? I do enjoy going to local conventions (video games, movies, etc...) and I do find people still celebrating this stuff. But, it feels sort of hidden away now.

... like ThinkGeek were feeling really intune with the community. I connected with tons of people on Twitter, other fans like me and small business owners finding an audience with their stuff. I feel like all of that is gone now, it was probably oversaturation by corporations and media companies...

You know what I kind of miss? I can't even specifically name what it is - but there was this sort of nerd/geek culture revival late 2000's into early 2010's. I feel like there was all these people and small companies celebrating nerd/geek stuff that was fairly organic. Even bigger companies like...

Note: I streamed, just to get my streaming setup working again - but no mic turned on this time. Just gameplay.

Balatro - retrogamingdev on Twitch retrogamingdev went live on Twitch. Catch up on their Balatro VOD now.

Well, I gave in to the hype for @playbalatro.com and I am not mad at all! The game is really really fun! I can see why it got so many awards! It is fun, simple in approach, but has a lot of depth. The visuals are great (I love retro!) and the music and SFX fit so well. www.twitch.tv/videos/23763...

Ok, trying again with right link:

My Pirate Jam 16 entry is at a pretty final demo state for judging. There maybe a couple smallish changes, but with only a day or so left this might be pretty close to a wrap (for now).
