I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

Last week I was in Montreal for @dropout.tv Improv show and it was amazing, obiously! I whipped out the GameBoy Camera at the end to catch all of the amazing comedians.... But yeah, that's the best I could do under the circumstances. It's them I swear!

Playing with the Roll & Rocker, you plug in the controller to use A and B while balancing on the board instead of using the D-Pad. But what if, instead of a controller....

Turns out that putting the Game Boy Camera into a Super Game Boy, then into your SNES that is connected to a capture device will give you a silly webcam in OBS! #gameboycamera #obs #til

That's my plan for the summer! The game seems to work but the screen doesn't... Can I repair it with little to no experience? Time will tell. #lethalenforcers

Still a masterpiece to this day. I'd say this is the one that crystallised the classic LoZ formula. From the gloomy intro to the bombastic Dark World theme, this game has it all. Also one of the rare SNES games with a French-Canadian version!

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past released 33 years ago today!

This is like exploring the tiny area around Peach's castle in Mario Kart 64 but cranked to 11! I always wanted to free roam these worlds back in the days <3

Watched S4E10 of #mythicquest, it's great but stop giving "french accent" to people from Quebec! Québécois sounds different. Hire a Québécois, it'll sound way better.

I've never seen this many people look for alternatives to US made products and apps. Trump lit a fire under our Canadian butts. Here's an easy ad campaign for any company not in the US : "Our country doesn't threaten to annex yours, buy our thing!"

Hi Karoline, Patrick here, from Quebec. 👋 1- It’s $254,000 (Canadian, but still) 2- 53% is the marginal tax rate. The actual rate is 39%. 3- We have subsidized health care, day care and tuition fees. 4- We live three years longer than Americans, on average. Cheers!

Yesterday was Chrono Trigger's 30th birthday. What an amazing game it is! Not sure if we can ever assemble another "dream team" in the current gaming climate but heck was it an accomplishment. My personal favorite.

Gotta love good motion design! Sweet trailer. The "mouse" rumor seems real with those gliding skate thingy. Also backward compatible, *mostly. Count me excited.

It's official: here's the first look at the Switch 2, along with what appears to be a new Mario Kart game. Nintendo says more will be revealed at a Nintendo Direct on April 2. www.youtube.com/watch?v=itpc...

Post a game you got for Christmas. We got our NES at Christmas in 1991, I was 5 years old. There's a VHS somewhere with that video. I had played before but this one was ours! Super Mario Bros still holds a special place in my heart, super easy to go back to for a quick run.
