You can now check out my panel from @liretro.bsky.social on YouTube! It was called "Find Your Niche Within a Niche" and was a way to talk about how I make my projects, and a lot about the things that influenced me and recommendations I have on a bunch of other stuff.

Last month, I had the honor of being able to host my very own panel at LI Retro ( @liretro.bsky.social ) about one of my favorite gaming series, Resident Evil.

I now get to share this moment with everyone else 🥹

There’s hundreds of more faces than we possibly could fit in a highlight reel but to all the crew from this year and over the last decade, thank you for making LI Retro the special community it is.

Had a lovely time as a @liretro.bsky.social virgin. Maybe I'll even come back next year.

A display for the homebrew Virtual Boy game Hyper Fighting. It's more impressive in person!

Airbrush/acrylic art for what eventually went on Cruisn' USA.

An interactive display for the Visteon Dockable Entertainment System, the ill-advised car DVD player with a Game Boy Advance in it. The controller is ALMOST there but uh, I don't know if I'd be using it to play Metroid Zero Mission all the way through as the game chosen here, personally...

It's been tough missing streams but worth it. @liretro.bsky.social has been really fascinating and fun. More retro tech than I have time to experience.

Can't wait for next year!

And just like that, a decade of memories played out. But the game continues.

Players are hitting the panels so hard, they’re literally lighting up the joysticks 🔥. The Arcade Age Exhibit is where you get to experience the golden age of arcade gaming and play the games like they were meant to be played.
