The Internet Archive losing its appeal means one thing: pirate stuff. Pirate brazenly. There’s no point trying to do it the nice way - you’ll get shut down anyway. Copy, share, and archive to your heart’s content. It’s the only way we’re keeping digital media and our cultural memory intact.

My brand-new MiniGolf game for Palm OS is ready! ⛳ There's even a full-fledged level editor built in. (All in a 55kb executable!)

If you don't have a Palm, you can also play it in the in-browser emulator.

We’re currently being hit by a #typhoon here in Kagoshima, #Japan right now, and everyone has their eyes glued to this palm tree (nicknamed ヤッシー) to see if it will ever fall over in the wind, cheering it on in the live chat. It’s kind of become a typhoon tradition here.

Another overlooked arcade classic, the three-player Super Off Road by Leland.

The story behind this license involves a chance meeting at a sushi bar. One day I hope to tell that story - had to cut this one from the book! #videogamehistory

I don't know how many of you are familiar with the Sewer music from the NES Terminator game, but it's a simple beat that never ends like they ran out of time before they could finish it.

So, using a NES soundfont, I had a go at making an actual tune out of it whilst also trying to crowbar the Terminator "motif" in there.

And, sitting in the coin bucket was a single coin; a quarter dated 1983.”

Ya know what? I'm gonna toot my own horn today On Here Specifically.

I have already received at least a dozen thankful comments/replies for letting people know they can slow down door closers. A lot of people have been living with irritating bangs in apartment buildings and whatnot.

And thanks to watching a YouTube video, their life is now better. I didn't sell anything to them, I just decided to share some knowledge in my own (hopefully entertaining) way.
