The things I do for gamejams

Don't let corporate algorithms dictate your tastes and media intake. Seek out human curators and reviewers, persons motivated by enthusiasm and joy - instead of scripts designed for minmaxing licensing costs and stock prices, or paid 'reviewers' regurgitating advertiser press releases

So nice when people tip me for a free game. Some nice soul chucked me a couple of dollarydoos for Star Busters 3, a 'fake' CGA tactics game with a cool 1bit soundtrack by @Tijn, playable in the browser or downloadable for windows etc

Writing some more assembly for the NES/famicom today and sometimes I'm in awe of how fast the system is, I blast through the code that needs to run each frame and then sit idle for around 70% of the time - but then when I want to update the background layer I have to limit myself to writing ~64 bytes a frame because the time window where this is possible is so narrow

Had a go this evening at some #PC98 style #pixelart, trying to imagine what semi-secret Merveilles mascot @maru would look like as a VN character.

Hope you don't mind my attempt at fan-art @rek

Ah yes, the three genders

Fascinating demo of a late 1970s vector monitor that functioned something like a modern e-ink display. It has two phosphor colours, green and red, anything drawn in green will persist on the very high resolution screen until it is cleared, where the red needs to be refreshed each frame https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M98VOoGFLL8
