I love many old things - technology, photography, games, anime etc. I'm mostly here to enjoy art and maybe post an occasional cat photo. Occasionally make things for retro game jams or Ludum Dare.

Seeing all these PC-Engine CD games get fan translated recently is really cool to see. It's kind of crazy to think that a large majority of all the English patches available for the system have only been released in the past few years.

The thing that all #ShittyCameraChallenge contestants know—and which vanishingly few camera publications understand—is that any camera can yield interesting images if you work what it is instead of punishing it for what it is not, and if yours can't yield interesting images it might be a skill issue

A rare bit of modern photography on my feed for #caturday. Using my Olympus E-M5II for Cassini here with a Fujinon-TV Z 14-70 f/2 I pulled off a 70s Sony 2/3" vidicon tube video camera. Clearly the lens doesn't even cover MFT - but still fun to mess with.

Taking a break from MS-DOS, I've been working on a game for the #PsionSeries3 pocket computer. Dragonfell is a #HOMM inspired game where two sides raise armies of creatures and send them against one another across a decaying land, trying to seize the other's citadel. It goes into beta test today.

Angel's Egg (1985 4K Theatrical Remaster)
Man. All I can really say is that it's a really pretty film.
More weird stories need to be made, more animation needs to be supported.
More dreams of things that inspire must be nourished to create.
Things like these exist for Art's sake and I'm glad.

Jumping into subminiature cameras with this little cute Mamiya Super 16 - also got a handful of old metal carts for it. Waiting on some old microfilm to arrive, but in the meantime I took a funny size comparison photo. My 5x7 Agfa Ansco really dwarfs this little thing.
