People have been waiting on new orders for a while, and the forums are beginning to question if the company is still even in business...but the device is really cool, and the PCB form factor is the new gold standard in casual-hobbyist-hacker-friendly products, as far as I’m concerned.

Have you played Mighty Gunvolt Burst? It’s a pseudo 8-bit almagamation of Mighty No. 9 and Azure Striker Gunvolt that has one very intersting quirk to it - the ability to customize your bullet patterns. As you earn more points, you can spend them on upgrading your weapon and/or ability to take damage. There is no…
Celeste was the reason I got a Pocket CHIP* last year, since the PICO 8** platform and Celeste came free with it. I suspect the updated version was greatly influenced by fans that tweaked the open-source original, as I did.
Flying home from the UK today! Managed to play the game Right Hand Drive successfully over the last four days, so I hadn’t needed games to this point. If I don’t analyze the data from this trip, I might pop open the 3DS on the way home for either Might Gunvolt Burst (which is running now) or something a bit low key,…
I’ll try this again - my third time starting this today, and now that it’s at the early end of the US workday, it’s appropriate that the outreach will will probably equal the significance of my post...
Oh! I forgot to mention that tomorrow I’m taking the Amateur Radio Technicial License Test! I have been looking at ham radio for a while, and found out Purdue University was offering a free license exam on Monday, so I started studying on Wednesday! I’ve already passed practice exams 7 times out of the 8 that I’ve…
Ah, climb! I forgot I had that awkwardly-animated ability! Good tip!
Is it weird that these screenshots of Sierra games suddenly flashed a memory of a smell? I’m not sure if it was the smell of the Apple II plastic, the smell of stale dust from the gravel road we lived on, or the smell of ozone from floppy drives and fiberglass disc sleeves, but I was transported back 30 years in that…
Enjoy Elite:Dangerous! Good on you going through the flight tutorials first, as you need to get a feel for moving in 3-space without the pressure of death and other ships. If you’re on PC, I recommend a flight stick. You don’t need a fancy throttle, but having a keyboard hand free is helpful. I can’t help if you’re on…
I feel for you about your mood and birthday - I keep reminding myself that any anniversary-type event (like a birthday or New Year) is simply part of an analog system and not a switch that gets pulled to advance to the next step in the universe - nothing of significance changes that day except a value on a piece of…
I got out of rhythm for WAYPTW over the holidays! I suppose it may mean I need a break, but engagement is important.
I’m looking forward to your new RPG, and it’s good to hear the release should be this year!
Apologies for the delay - Yes! I think that works, but also, there is a Group page at:
Dragon Quest XI on 3DS, with the dual-screen, simultaneous bitmap and volumetric world views, looks great, and it seems as if each view is integral to the full experience. I barely scratched the surface of VII so far, but I might get this as part of my already legendary 3DS game collection.
It was a Gameological Steam Revue Club game last year, and I desperately wanted to get deeper into it, but couldn’t focus on it. PC games are harder when I became an adult and no longer sit alone in “my room”...
As an aside - If you deleted Twitter and still want some short-form connectivity to people, try Mastodon - it’s a standard more than a company/app, and it allows you to run your own Twitter-style network or join one and link to people on other networks. Think e-mail meets Twitter, and you get the idea. My address is…
First of all - Check out DrFlimFlam’s post announcing January’s Mario Kart 8 on the 8th Tournament (for Switch)! The Tournament Code is: 4818-8770-6667. The time and date are the same, only the console is different - as you know, the end of the Miiverse meant the end of MK8 on the 8th with Wii U, but I am sure a…
That’s the beauty of the system here, I believe; we can disagree with the editorial staff and have our own opinions be not only a legitimate part of the conversation, but fed back in for publishing when it counts.
Believe it or not, I’m getting a bunch more out of Breath of the Wild without even having the DLC. I have the Wii U version, and I think I want to keep that copy “pure” - saving the DLC for when I get a Switch to justifying buying it again. I’m hoping some day they’ll include the bonus content on the game card as…
