I'm a professional photographer and television producer who loves speedy racecars and games. I stream video games on Twitch and YouTube. I make Saturnology sometimes. Thoughts here are my own.

It's been a couple weeks since the last racing ranking stream. Still trying to find a nice work life balance with the new job. I'm positioning this next episode as a "season finale" of sorts.

We still got some big games to play, but I want to put a short pause on the list so I can stream some other stuff I've been wanting to play. Stay tuned!

It's NES day, and also my 10th wedding anniversary. No I did not plan it that way. If you wanna get me a gift, all I want is for you to watch this if you haven't, it took me 15 years to make.

41 years ago today* the Nintendo Entertainment System was introduced, in a wild, risky, and completely unlikely way. If you haven't seen our documentary yet, put aside 45 minutes and see the NES as you never have before. *We can't substantiate this date, It's Complicated but probably correct(ish)

In light of what I posted earlier, I want to encourage others to share retro translations and homebrew that do not use the slop machines. Saturn translations I recommend: Silhouette Mirage Grandia Sakura Wars 1 and 2 Linkle Liver Story Mobile Suit Gundam Bulk Slash The various Shining Force games

Today, I decided to dump all my thoughts about A.I. infecting the retro and Saturn scene into one cohesive article. In short, I am certifiably sick of this.

SEGA SATURN, SHIRO!@segasaturnshiro.bsky.social

Is there any harm in using AI to work on — or entirely create — projects for the Sega Saturn and elsewhere in the retro gaming scene? Yes, PandaMonium says in this opinion column, equating such work to digital asbestos: www.segasaturnshiro.com/2026/09/24/c... #sega #saturn #segasaturn #retrogaming

Activision will develop the next Halo title, led by a "new, purpose-built team that is separate from ongoing development and plans for Call of Duty" ➡️ news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/0...

Did you know there was a special demo of 'Daytona USA Deluxe' on PC? You can only play Dinosaur Canyon, but more obviously - the demo is riddled with Skittles advertisements!

I know it's ignorant of me to say "Games never needed to look better than this", cause I know there's so much craft and expertise that goes into creating the tech to achieve the visual fidelity that game developers intend for their games. But also, games didn't need to look better than this.

This game is turning 20 years old.

I'm looking to get back to streaming during the week, but my Elgato HD60 Pro has been giving me a lot of issues. Fortunately I have a few alternatives to mess around with. We'll do some experimenting this week.

Friday was my last day at the news station that brought me to Cincinnati. I worked with some wonderful people, both past and present. I'm moving onto newer things in the news business, while continuing to do the work I love as a photojournalist.

Also, please don't let the "Fox" branding fool you. There is no affiliation with my old workplace and the national news org. We simply air The Simpsons on our channel and that's it lol

I'm gonna have to take the streaming L this weekend. Really difficult for me to stay comfy for extended periods with my injury. On the bright side, it is healing up fairly quickly, but still pretty painful. We'll get to Jet Moto next weekend.

Got into an accident last night and my foot feels super fucked up. Thankfully the X-rays found nothing serious, but it's just stupid painful.

I'm gonna skip tonight's ranking stream and hopefully move it to tomorrow. Literally cannot focus on anything except how painful my foot feels.
