I like to make games. I don't like to finish them. (I haven’t actually had the motivation to work on game dev for ages, so don’t expect much of that content)

From Leeds, live in Iowa. I try to tag all my football posts with #lufc so mute that if you don’t want to see me swearing and/or crying.

I watch too much #anime and play too many games. Actually that’s a lie; I have hundreds of games but only play Animal Crossing, Splatoon, and Girls Frontline.

Just saw today’s champo results, because a) I’m trying not to become obsessed refreshing other teams when it’s out of our hands and 2) I’m at work.

But this fucking league, man.

@k is that the S4? I keep looking at better controllers than my little Numark party mix but then realized I’d only be doing it for the new toy rush and I have plenty of other things I should be spending money on

So before I make this next post, I want to be clear that I personally hate April Fool's Day. The essence of humor is surprise. There is no surprise in April Fool's Day! Everyone's actively bracing for it! April Fool's Day on the Internet has long since stopped being about "jokes" and devolved into a series of exhausting, repetitive, occasionally-cruel pranks, often enacted by the world's biggest corporations against the captive audience of their customers.

But anyway

@mcc as soon as I saw Ante Up my mind went to this classic PMV https://youtu.be/8-TIcNg6SM4?si=E9V0Z0bj9bZBPNgj

Fucking hell, just looked at the other scores. Up the Boro.

I kinda hate that taking the title is now in view. When we beat them on Friday, Leicester will only have 6 points on us. Hull’s late win keeping them in strong playoff contention will have them pumped to take down Southampton on Tuesday. Rotherham will inexplicably decide they want to do Leeds a favor and surprise Ipswich.

235: Winter Games (1985)

The prettiest of the Epyx Games series, Winter Games also had great variety across its events. These included elegant ice skating, rhythmic speed skating, an early crack at 3D bobsleigh, and biathlon, which cleverly alternated between precision shooting and arm-hurting skiing sections. Alas, it was all downhill by the time semi-sequel The Games: Winter Edition rocked up three years later.

Play it on:

@craiggrannell great memories of playing this (and the rest of the series) with my uncle, cousin, and friend, all of us crammed in my little bedroom, huddled around.. probably my Amiga, but maybe this was the ST?

this is a great test suite I've been handed.
if I run test A and then test B, it works

I need a hacked/hackable Nintendo Switch, for the obvious reasons...

I need to explore why Wheel of Fortune (2017, Switch) has an image from an incest anime in it, and I can't figure it out in an emulator

@foone you can kind of defend Oreimo, until the end. Then you just kind of feel like a shower.

DJ Hero needs to come back. In this essay, I will-

Many will know that feeling..

coolpowers,
@coolpowers@mastodon.social avatar

@tveskov for me that was when I let 1-800-HEROES.com go. It was going to be a superhero management game, very much drawing on the vibe of Rockstar Ate My Hamster. Renewed it for years, finally realized I was never going to make significant progress. Someone did eventually do something vaguely similar, I think Doublefine put it out on mobile? I feel validated when that happens :)

    I almost felt a bit guilty about writing ‘The Nintendo eShop is a bag of hurt compared to Google Play and the App Store’ when the store subsequently worked the following week. Not so much now, when the stupid thing won’t let me buy 25 quid of Mario Kart tracks to play with my daughter. (Error Code 9001-2490! Again!) It’s just astonishing how flaky this is. I’ve literally never had this problem with the App Store nor Google Play.

    @craiggrannell as an aside, maybe just get the expanded online subscription to get the MK tracks (and all the retro stuff!)

    EDIT3: i'm going to close this to new submissions since they've slowed to a trickle now

    new to mastodon? do you make cool shit? if you've got under 100 followers, reply to this with 1-4 images of stuff you've made and i will boost you to my 5.8k followers, because i want people who do creative work to find a place on mastodon

    please note i will be spacing out boosts to not spam my followers too much

    EDIT2: if you're a composer (or do similar non-visual work) you should probably drop a link to where people can listen to your work. maybe add cover art if you have any

    EDIT: if i miss your post it's likely you're on an instance mine has muted, I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do about that

    @eniko I got tired of dealing with the hassles of making games so now I am getting into an entirely new world of hassles with embroidery! https://mastodon.social/@coolpowers/110491013888101958

    @eniko that's fine! I still got you to look at my cool thing that I'm proud of! That sounds weird when I write it out, going to go hide now!

    @eniko I meant more it sounding like I tricked you into looking at something. Anyway your post is also how I discovered I have more than 100 followers here, who knew??

    A thing I don't think I really like about recent anime is a thing where they almost all seem to have an emotional memories-of-things-that-happened-in-the-show-up-to-now montage in the final episode but the show is like 12 episodes long so it feels kinda unearned

    @mcc @jplebreton well they’re doing recaps of fights that are currently in progress. Like “hey remember last episode when this big fight was reaching its climax? Well here it is again, you have to wait another week to finish it”
