from Hamster's stream, some photos of the Cool Boarders team at UEP Systems circa '96, which was 6 devs at most (not counting outsourced helpers)—all but one of em came fresh out of school with zero practical experience, but somehow managed to make Cool Boarders from scratch in ~6 months

I chatted with @mattmcneilshow.bsky.social about the new MST3K episodes (fun!) plus life here in Minnesota right now with thousands of fascist losers running wild (less fun).
Always great to have @rifftrax.com's @billcorbett.bsky.social on.
He has HUGE news about Bill, Kevin, and Mike making NEW MST3K episodes!!!
We then reflected on the attack on Minnesota, and why his MST3K news is the smile a lot of us needed. #Spotlight Interview!

We finally have a photo of the previously unseen Zelda 1 art on display at the Nintendo Museum.
The cartouche in the top right, subtitled "THE MAP OF HYRULE," depicts 3 fairy/goddess figures unfolding a cloth (making the world?). Miyamoto's signature is on the bottom right.

I've slowly been working on series of article tracing the history of Heavy Gear, the VOTOMS-influenced tabletop game that arrived in 1995 and still exists today. The game's origins lay with a couple of early anime magazines, Protoculture Addicts and Mecha Press.
