Hey everyone, here's a real simple way to disable "Super Resolution" on your channels:

• YouTube Studio
• Settings
• Channel
• Advanced settings
• Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance visual quality"
• Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance audio quality"

Swedish actor Björn Andréson (Death in Venice, Midsommar) has passed away. Though not specifically tied to gaming, he was an incredibly popular model for several decades worth of games and anime in Japan! Indeed inspiring Alucard, Griffith, and SMT Louis Cypher and many more. RIP.

Blog post btw is an exploration of the origins of the Metroidvania genre. Progress has been motivated by recent arguments I’ve had and dumb takes I’ve seen on the internet lmao

Insanely busy currently, but still finding a few minutes here and there to compose pieces of a new blog post.

Easier for me to spontaneously write a few sentences into my phone than sit down to work on pixel art.

Completion percentage screen in Silksong, displayed after getting the true ending. Percentage rate of 76% in 39 hours, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds.

Rolled credits on Silksong (true ending) today. Pretty good game overall, I give it a 7.5/10.
Eventually I'll come back and do 100% completion and get the remaining achievements, but that won't be for a long while. 👍🏻

PS2 version of KoF XI next to my MVS cartridge for KoF 2002.

To anyone who’s never witnessed a Neo Geo cartridge before, here’s a PS2 game case for scale.

Chinese imitation of a Namco Noir Cabinet, running SNK Neo Geo MVS hardware. This now resides in my basement. Got a copy of The King of Fighters 2002 installed, I intend to get other games eventually.

Finally ready to show this off. My basement gaming setup is getting out of hand, not that I particularly mind though 😎

Kinda dumbfounded that Rush, one of the most Canadian bands there is, is planning a North American tour with only one stop in Canada. 😒👎🏻

I think they'd have quite a bit in common.

All the Castlevania games I have in my collection as of now.

The canon timeline of Castlevania, substituting Rondo of Blood for Dracula X Chronicles (and Rondo is on the DXC disc so it technically still counts).

Happy 39 years of Konami’s Castlevania! One of my favourite video game franchises, I’ve collected most of the games over the years.

First image is my entire collection, and the second is just the main canon (with DXC standing in for Rondo). My fav is Order of Ecclesia~ 💜

Got a new pixel art thing in early development at the moment, don't expect to see that released for quite a while though. 👀

Life is crazy busy at the moment but I'm finding time to do things that are good for my sanity and that's something. 💜

I was nearly ready to show this off in a fully complete state, but with the new Canada Post strike I won't be able to get the final component I need for a while... 😒

Got some things I want to draw,
but try as I might, my brain is simply not in a pixel art state at the moment. 🫠😔

Enough people said they wanted to see the final slide deck, so I took the time to put it on my non-teacher github so I could share it. I didn't end up getting in trouble. I ended up being encouraged by a colleague to share it with my dept chair, and he liked it

Trying Out Unity Game Development - Cyberspace Café I discuss my recent first foray into 2D game development with Unity, making a top-down horror roguelite with three other people.

New blog post up, discussing my recent first go at 2D game dev with Unity: www.cyberspacecafe.xyz/trying-out-u...

A teaser of my current ongoing major project… 👀

Tfw you can’t watch any of your usual Twitch streamers because of Silksong spoilers 😔💀

I’ll get around to playing it in like, October or November lmao

After Bitmap Books unveiled this product with a list of games that frankly don't represent the impact of indie gaming on culture and the industry, I'm tempted to write my own blog post(s) on the subject.

So much history was missed here. It's a rare L from them.
