Someone in a "Sexy" Jeremy Parish Halloween Costume

Getting a little tired of this "four kinds of Bluesky user" meme

I've published another VHS rip of Game Tech Video magazine, this one from May 1988. This series really does a great job of showcasing the breadth of what was out there on the market in the Famicom era, not just the big hits and key title earmarked for promotion by publishers: youtu.be/7uxikBZaYXQ

Hey! You want to know what's a terrible idea? Photographing all 30 games in the Famicom Mini set, including all the little fussy parts inside each box! I'mma go climb into a ditch and sleep now

It always comes back to this for me; if AI was so good, such a disclosure would be a selling point. If AI was everything these slop jockeys said it was, they should be proud to let people know their game was AI made. But the proof is in the pudding, and they can't stand that people don't want it.

Sorry, everyone, tonight I broke the most important rule of all: never post That Friggin' Guy to the timeline, no matter what

Sometimes I’m almost willing to believe that the noisy integration of gambling into every facet of American life is just a way to allow Trump to consummate his lifelong love of running casinos into bankruptcy by bankrupting the biggest casino ever, the USA

Part of my literal job is to fly out to physical game studios to rescue and recover historical materials that might be endangered and put them in a permanent archive. @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social is a 501(c)3 publicly funded to do that, my DMs are open, and I'm free for the next couple weeks...

My favorite BioWare memory isn't a game, it's interviewing the Doctors at GDC 2008. Rather than talk up their own work, they wanted to gush about Eternal Sonata—how someone turned their Chopin obsession into an RPG. Their excitement over using games for personal expression seems extra poignant today

Putting this sticker on the front of a game box is a hostile act

Realized today that I am now older than Captain Kirk was in Star Trek II, yet I still have not confronted my greatest, deadliest personal nemesis, eking out victory through a desperate gambit that exacts a heartbreaking toll. What am I even doing with my life

Retronauts Discord continues to inspire me to do dumb things with my lunch break

Neighbors about to freak out at the sheer number of juniper berries that keep getting delivered to my place

China’s snack tech has LEAPFROGGED that of America, Japan, and Europe. They have turned Kit Kat into a Toblerone, and nothing—nothing—will be the same again

It's nice that we finally got a reverse angle shot of goatse, but what a weird place for it

In 1984, Alexey Pajitnov created Tetris. Then he spent the next forty years making other things and none of them found the same success. They're overlooked, forgotten, and ignored, which is why I wanted to explore what Pajitnov did beyond Tetris. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH_L...

Hey, howdy, hey! Toy Story: Retro Roundup! + Toy Story 3 Complete Edition are out now for Xbox X|S, PS4, PS5, Switch, Switch 2, and Steam.

Petitioning the church to change the name of “indulgences” to “harmony golds”

That’s a lot of old stuff!!

It's my great pleasure to give a long overdue progress update on our fully human-translated and human-coded English patch for the legendary Tokimeki Memorial 2!

This issue is a trip! Surreal to see my own words (and those of my friends) exhumed from the lost hellworld of cancellation

Managed to sneak in a WORKING session before the floor closed. Couldn’t get the rhythm of Andor Genesis and barely made the high-score table, though. Infinite shame

Thanks to all who came to my "bad NES games" presentation this afternoon! I hope you, too, have learned to see the beauty and potential in "bad" games and will henceforth choose to...

Holy smokes! My presentation is in 15 minutes!!

Saw the publishing date on this video and immediately climbed into an open grave to wrap myself in dirt like a blanket

In order to ensure that you are sufficiently hyped about my @retrogamingexpo.bsky.social presentation about bad NES games tomorrow, here is the presentation I gave last year in which I celebrated the NES's 40th anniversary by talking about all of its competitors youtu.be/XabGS917ing

My first presentation of the PRGE weekend (read: interjecting dumb jokes into the Retronauts 20th anniversary talk that Bob has assembled) starts in 25 minutes! If you are in Portland, you should come! Even if you don’t like video games! Or us!

I regret to inform you that PRGE 2026 has broken my tiny heart

We are exploring the possibility of swapping slots so that tomorrow’s Retronauts panel at @retrogamingexpo.bsky.social and my NES Works panel on Sunday trade places. Who knows how it will shake out! The only way to be sure is to attend BOTH presentations

Rest in Peace.

I should be paid a dollar every time an app or website pesters me to let it cram some superfluous A.I. feature down my throat, and five dollars if I've previously dismissed that nag prompt

This week I put my money where my mouth is and created a video about Super Xevious for Famicom. You know how Xevious is a profoundly influential and deeply beloved part of the Famicom's history? This official Namco-commissioned sequel is, like, the opposite: youtu.be/-zjMjtTJti8

An elderly man cruising down the street on his Rascal saw me getting out of my car tonight and ZOOMED over to talk to me. He saw I was driving a Mazda MX-5 and wanted to gush about how much he loved his RX-7 in the ’80s. I feel bad that I'm not a Car Guy, but it was charming. This neighborhood rules

I think it's beautiful that Sega has chosen to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Retronauts by repeating the same amateur mistake that almost killed the podcast (engaging in real time with the entirety of the Sonic fanbase). This official Discord is 100% the 2026 version of the Sonic call-in episode

Big new story! The best 8,000 words you'll read on Vib-Ribbon today.

"Spot the difference between these two pictures." "There is no difference."

NBA 2K12 was released 15 years ago today. Retronauts is 20 years old today. The equivalent of NBA 2K12 for episode 1 of Retronauts would have been Mario the Juggler, Nintendo's final Game & Watch title, which debuted in October 1991. I have no point here. It's just an interesting observation

today marks a whopper of an anniversary as we released the very first episode of Retronauts on October 4, 2006. Twenty years of podcasts! Thank you for listening for two entire decades. What's your favorite episode or Retronauts memory?
