In Splatoon 3 Turf War I think I've been getting better at bailing out of situations and escaping, which seems preferable to actually attempting to fight other people when I play a support weapon. The Big Swig Roller Express is made to just quickly and easily paint very large areas of the map, and m...

So I recently got a bit focused on calculators again! I had a TI-84+ Silver Edition as a teen and I used it for lots of portable computer uses, like taking notes, gaming, and writing programs to solve different tasks, and I played with writing assembly programs on the go with Mimas. It was very c...

During Art Fight I really really wanted to try and explore some of the GameCube library and embrace those aesthetics because I felt nostalgic about the GameCube, though I think the library kind of inherently has its own distinct style that was calling to me too. It has a lot of games that do somethi...

I've been worried about how Tilemap Town has been failing to grow, because it feels like people just log in and check it out for a week maybe and then leave, and that makes me feel like I can't just be patient and let the community grow over time because it's more of a revolving door? I'm not sure...

This past while I've been working on some changes to Tilemap Town to try and get things in place to make it handle unreliable connections a bit better, as well as make it work better as an instant messaging thing, should it need to play a role like that in the future.

The game world is conceptua...

Sometimes it's weird to think about how I develop for consoles that are really expensive and are probably going to keep getting more expensive, and I worry about what effect that'll have long-term, but I had the realization that the accessibility of getting an original console actually doesn't matte...

In order to play music on most older consoles, the developer needs to supply a program (an "sound driver" or "sound engine" or similar) that will gradually step through a song, encoded as a sequence of notes and effects, and turn notes on and off as needed. Typically sound effects work similarly. Th...

I think mascot characters are probably my biggest special interest of all, though I'm clearly interested in specific kinds so maybe there's a better descriptor?

I'm generally interested in the cute animal-y ones with simple but effective designs (especially with theming!! Especially when that th...

I put off trying Neopets again for a long time because the way people talked about it made it seem not worth trying, but I think either I got the wrong impression or the change of ownership actually had a big effect for the better.

People made it sound like the Neopets site was all broken (due to...

Back when I was working on Nova the Squirrel for NES, I thought it would be cool to add some multiplayer stuff, because back then I was hoping to make a cartridge of the game, and I wanted the cart to provide a lot of fun even if it was the only one someone had. So I put in a quick Dr.Mario clone,...
