This was the first thing I made on famitracker, back in 2014. I still really like the composition, though what I actually ended up doing was making a 2a03 version of this and adding an extra section which I submitted to famicompo. might upload it but I don't think it was as good. #chipsky #chiptune
I remembered to post heracross for heracross day

Logic Bombs on hand held truly feels just right...

So for some reason putting this damn game on my 3DS almost bricked it... managed to fix it but it undid my lovely Odd Taxi theme and wrapped up all my games again??????

I'd love to play an arcade cabinet of Super Hang-On one day.
The next best thing though is 3D Super Hang-On on the 3DS. The gyro controls actually feel pretty good!

Wait a sec, thinking on this, does this mean that Smooth McGroove making a coinbase sponsored video was materia collective's fault?

LOL
Smooth McGroove said that 70% of his top 10 video have been copyright claimed. Looking at his top 10 I see 6 Undertale tracks, 2 Nintendo tracks and then SF/Tetris.

Considering Materia Collective has been under fire multiple times, and Nintendo is Nintendo, that explains things I think.

Just saw Smooth McGroove's video talking about the coinbase video, it's a really unfortunate state of affairs that he basically felt forced to make a deal with the devil... Though I noticed a lot of the comments seemed a bit confused as to how his covers get copyright claimed

i love how everyone has the universal experience of having a friend group start on the basis of “i used to be in a public discord and too many annoying people started joining so a seperate server got made so that we could only have the cool people in” (bonus points if everyone leaves the og server)

I need to be reminded to post heracross tomorrow
Good morning! It is now February 14th in Japan, which means it is Heracross Day ( #ヘラクロスの日 ) and Pokémon Valentine's Day ( #ポケモンバレンタインの日 )!

I love when people bring up the "per hour cost" in terms of how much entertainment value modem AAA games have. You are spending 70% of that time doing tedious meaningless bullshit. Maps cluttered with markers, forced walking sequences, puzzles that get spoiled in 3 seconds by an NPC, I could go on.
February 13, 2026 at 9:45 PM
The notion of jacking up the price of a product you have essentially UNLIMITED SUPPLY of at no cost is, surprise, one of the stupidest business decisions I ever seen and it's so blatantly obvious it wouldn't work. The arrogance of AAA studios is so laughable lmao
One takeaway from the DICE convention here in Las Vegas, where game makers gather to pitch and schmooze?

Most video games should not cost $70.

This week’s column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy
One way to get out of the video-game industry funk is to recognize that players aren’t spending $70 on most games

Eh I just can't get into using my wheel atm, the desk I'm using doesn't let me fasten it securely and I feel like I'm being really dainty with it. I can't really turn properly and it got a bit frustrating.

I'll need to sort out a better desk to fasten the wheel to for next time.

If Riot didn't lay off half the 2XKO team immediately after releasing the game it probably would've been considered a moderate success btw
With the arcade racer posting on my timeline I think I might get the wheel out tonight for some f355 challenge again
