I am cataloging my old games. Some of them got lost to time, some I've found screenshots of in the archive.org, and some I still have the source code for.

Yes that is a Thong Goblin.

Play NORCO wherever you can find it.
Had the chance to play NORCO myself on a Steam Deck and can confirm it runs well. We added features to make things more comfortable, like using buttons to quickly cycle through selectables, and supporting both dpad & joystick for cursor control. There are a number of font options available as well.

I was born ~2 months premature at around 1lb 3ozs and had to spend the first few months of my life in the hospital

After being allowed to come home with my parents I had to wear a heart monitor vest which I would tear off multiple times a day, terrifying my parents

This is why I like Quest 64
