Is it just the perspective or is this Steam Deck just loooooooooooong?
As rumors ramp up about the Steam Deck 2, here's what we're hoping to see from a new system.

Today I learned!
It is relatively well known that in Super Mario Bros. 3, Chain Chomps break free from their chains after about 1.5 minutes of being on screen. What is much more obscure is that the same happens in the Super Mario Maker games, but much later, after around 4.4 minutes.

I was hacking on the 1995 Windows 3.1 Jeopardy! game and I really like this guy's elaborate "thinking" animation.

Today's #vgm of the day comes from 7th Saga, courtesy of composer Norihiko Yamanuki. The theme of Lux Tizer also serves as the overworld theme for the first stretch of the game, evoking a real sense of wonder and taking great advantage of the SNES sound chip.

Another reminder that this company does not, nor has it ever valued it's creators. If it could replace us with AI, it would do it this afternoon without a second thought.
This is such a joke of a decision, and fucks over people who've been keeping vods for years (in my case, well over a decade).

Tonight NHK aired their interview with the reclusive main programmer Nasir Gebelli (71) about his involvement in Final Fantasy 1. I believe this is his first on-camera interview since 1998. NHK reports that he now works as a developer of smart home devices. I will try to upload the best clips.

Zug zug! Today's #vgm is taking us back to Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness. Composed by Glenn Stafford, this track is the one that immediately comes to mind when I think of classic Warcraft.

It is really cool how older tech inspired us to grow and imagine a better world in which we could better ourselves.

Was finally able to acquire a sealed copy. Start of a long history of desktop video production (and dabbling in writing codecs) for me that continues to this day.
