Had a dream I was game shopping and found Mega Man for Game Gear complete in box, went to buy it and decided to open it first, but instead of the game, it was just a Big Mac… Then the shop keeper accused me of wasting their time!

Found some reviews on the back end of itch and it’s made me want to start a new project! It’s such a huge undertaking but it’s so cool to see people enjoy what you made in the end!

If anyone doesn’t know, I released this game last year: retrobreak.itch.io/super-donuts

Metroid Prime 4, 100% complete!! 🔥
Sometimes it didn’t really feel like a Metroid game, but still awesome and worth the wait!

Anyone remember Java games? Always loved looking at these adverts and imagining what the games would be like!

Working on a Vocaloid games retrospective! Picked up these Switch games today, got 5 more games to get (2 physical, 3 digital only), then I’m ready to record!

Already written most of the script and research! There’s so much I’ve learned that I’m excited to share! 🥬🎤🎧🌐🩵🎙️

Got a modded Master System with CSYNC RGB SCART out and region free 50-60hz mod too!

Excited to finally check out the first Phantasy Star on original hardware! Might stream it soon, and make some hand drawn maps as I go :D

Nearly finished DK Bananza, going to play DK 64 when I’m done as I’ve never properly played it before!

Checking it out on the Analogue 3D and the CRT filters look awesome!

Not sure how they’ll look on stream so will probably have to disable them when the time comes to stream / record…

On the way back from the London gaming market! Time to read some manga on the train, thanks to @mangatakpod.bsky.social for the recommendation on this one! Listened to the episode yesterday and found it at forbidden planet

Went to Animate London! It’s a lot bigger than I expected! Shame it’s not permanent :,(

Finally got the FF pixel remasters for switch! Put the cart in and didn’t expect the menu to fill up with separate games 😂

Everyone loves to hate on Sonic 06, but there’s no denying the soundtrack is a 10/10. Seeing this live was amazing!

I somehow looked past all its flaws back then and 100% completed it 😅

Had a great day at Sonic Con! Got to meet Bentley Jones and get their CD’s and finally saw Crush 40 live!
