Remember To avoid straining your eyes when you're continuously working, follow the 20-20-20 rule. After 20 minutes of work, look at something 20 feet away, then spend 20 years in the forest.

The never released GBA Game 'Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution' launches 2024 on a GBA Cartridge via LRG.
It's cool that they're finishing that Shantae game but I wonder how many copies will be sold as a GBA cartridge, through LRG no less

Progress on my new #gameassets! Worked on farming stuff, terrain, details, items, UI and more. It's going to be a big one, and it'll be very free. Planning to support this pack for long, adding updates along the way.

Can variables really be called such if their value is constant/immutable? 
What is it with companies using common words as the name of their products and/or services, sometimes going as far as getting a trademark for them? It's nothing but trouble, if you ask me.

Video Game Preservation
A new study shows a whopping 87% of games released prior to 2010 are no longer available for sale or download by any means other than the second-hand market and archival/"piracy": http://gamehistory.org/87percent/
Proof if you ever needed it that the community is doing the work that corporate interests won't do to preserve gaming history and the slice of culture it represents.
We are living in an age when it is so astonishingly cheap to keep copies of things around and yet the perverse incentives exist for companies to memory-hole anything that doesn't perform well or that might compete with newer offerings.
IMO, in the big picture this is what legislation is for, correcting a horrible tendency that the market will have if left to its own devices, and there should absolutely be legislation protecting archivists of content that's no longer available for sale, or even requiring that content creation companies keep content available in SOME form. Until then, we depend on each other to do this.
