Let's drop the term "#RetroGaming"! ☠️ 🕹️

- It is demeaning: "retro" = "out-of-date", divisive: 'retro" Vs "modern", and elitist: the "elders" know.. 👴 and turned into a speculative bubble; 💸

- It is a moving target: Is PS3 "retro" now? ⏩

- Listening to M. Davis or Pink Floyd is not "retro music"! it's part of universal love of music! 🎶

Passion for older games is part of enjoyment and preservation of video game history, that we can all be actors of, in an open and inter-generational way! 💗🎮

The memorable campfire scene from Chrono Trigger (Square 1995), gorgeous pixel-art from an all-time masterpiece JRPG. Around the campfire, at night in a clearing, are the various protagonists of the game sharing stories... Counter-clockwise Crono the courageous hero (laying down at the bottom), Marle the fierce princess, Frog the honorable knight, Robo the adorable robot, Lucca the clever inventor, Ayla the brave cave-woman, and Magus the goth magician...

Every once in a while I put together something cool. I built a game engine in python many years ago which I eventually migrated to rust, and have now migrated to the gameboy advance in rust. I'm well pleased.

"A fantastically written cyberpunk story," Thanks @Animation_Voice for playing through Neofeud! store.steampowered.com/app/673850/N... #indiegame #IndieGamesFestival #SteamDeck #steamdeals #adventuregamefriday#RetroGaming #cyberpunk

@), TheAnimationVoice 15.4 hrs + POSTED: FEBRUARY 28 Neofeud is such a fantastically written cyberpunk story. The dystopia aspects are heavily showcased, and allow for an emotionally gripping tale. Great music, fun characters (Proto-J, dawg!), and plenty of 805/905 jokes/references. The politics in the game reflect the real world so well, | went on several rants/tangents on my streams. Solidly done!

Since Mario Paint is back in the zeitgeist thanks to the Switch 2, I decided to boot up my old copy and see what I had saved on it.
Sadly it's blank, I'll have to replace the battery in this cart like I did the others 🥲

Prompted by a recent GB paint program demo, taking a lil detour to try hooking a #SNES Mouse directly up to #GameBoy (snes controller protocol over link port).

Commited a few crimes with the latch and clock polarity (signal inverter not here yet), but it still manages to ~work on a DMG.
