Started posting retro games on Instagram from my backlog that I've decided to sell. Feel free to follow along, always happy to take any offers via DM — instagram.com/virtuatoon/ #retrogames #gamecollecting

@KnightNZ wow, based on the prices these days thats huge.

After a great year learning how to be the best dad I can be, I'm now looking for my next role. With experience across fintech, small business, and developer tools, working in both familiar environments and cultures completely new to me. I've served as both an IC and hands-on director leading design and product teams. Building products from scratch, shipping my own code, talking directly with customers, developing teams with conviction, and even managing P&L. I'm looking to apply these skills with a group willing to constantly question their understanding of the problems they're trying to solve and strive for profitability while doing it. Ideally you are a small team building something low and slow, rather than burning out in a blaze of hyper-growth glory. If you know of anyone who might be looking for someone like me, do consider sharing this with them. More about me — jonathontoon.com

Who up converting their CUE files to CHD files?

YOYOZO by @gingerbeardman is a Playdate game that is smaller in file size (39KB) than its PDF manual (98KB) or this GIF depicting its gameplay

@SnazzyLabs I'm almost 3 months in. Agreed that the first few weeks are very tough. But it gets so much better quicker than you'd think.

My review as a father after 4 days: I’m exhausted, and wow, this is the hardest thing I’ve ever done—but so worth it. I’m blown away by how much I already love this tiny human, and bewildered by the absolute strength and endurance of my incredible wife.

@pieco_renju これは信じられない。素晴らしい仕事だ。オンラインで販売しているのか、受注生産なのか？

9路盤用の碁笥のオーダーをいただき制作しました。神奈川県大和市の公園で先月伐採されたばかりの樹齢100年の欅を使ってます。 盤はフランスのカンヌゲーム祭で購入したもの。盤も作れるようになりたい！

Half-Life 2, Valve (2004)

@gingerbeardman Shaders too, right?

@virtuatoon All the Lua-powered SDK are very similar, just with a different handful of graphics and sound APIs. Really easy to move between them. You love it. Apparently Love2D can also do some 3D ...wish I had known before I did this the old school way. Evidently I'm still learning 😅

Behold! I am talking over a video! I did a Love2D/Lua remake of "Voxel slugs traversing an invisible spinning cube's edges" a recent animation by Japhy Riddle — he is the coolest so check out his YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=0gEHld…

Most of the "fun" parts are almost done now. Today was basic animations, tomorrow, core puzzle logic! #pico8 #pixelart #mahjong #riichi #立直 #麻雀

It's incredible how tools like @cursor_ai accelerate programming, even for game development. Got a fully rendered, and configurable game board running. #pico8 #pixelart #mahjong #riichi #立直 #麻雀

In between feedings and diaper changes of my 2 month old I've found the time to work on some pixel art. Starting with a set of riichi Mahjong tiles (not sure if I'm willing to try Seasons or Flowers). What do you think? #pico8 #pixelart #mahjong #riichi #立直 #麻雀

@D9cnS3izm8P9RoK すごい。 信じられないほど安い。

ワンダースワンの犬夜叉の箱付きが3本😙

@gingerbeardman @Guv_Bubbs ill send them to you for some feedback when im done!

@virtuatoon @Guv_Bubbs It will be easier if you draw them at odd dimensions, which is an old pixel art trick. My tiles for Sparrow Solitaire are slightly wider aspect than normal, with a content area of 15x21 (plus tile outline/border). So you're aiming for ~half that? Yikes! 😥

Mahjong tiles might be the hardest thing to draw as low rez pixel art...

@Guv_Bubbs No larger than 10x12.

@virtuatoon What res?

It's incredible how much good work Taki is doing to make FPGA affordable. However the scattershot branding between this and the MiSTER Pi really detracts from a lot of that for me. I would be far more invested if it felt like a more connected system of products.
