I'm happy to introduce my new NES homebrew game, Ranaga! It's an arcade-style vertically scrolling shooter featuring randomized waves of enemies. See how long you can survive! You can download it and play it for free at arnpoly.itch.io/ranaga

It boggles my mind that this happened the day before the Cubs won the World Series. Very weird connection!

Today marks exactly 10 years since Hacker T. Dog delivered the greatest unscripted line in British television history. "We're just normal men... We're just innocent men."

4:54.299 SMB1 ANY% WORLD RECORD ON HALLOWEEN WHILE LARPING AS MARIO! It doesn't even feel real that I actually achieved this, but here we are. Only 2 frames (33 milliseconds) stand between this run and absolute perfection / TAS tie. 4:54.265 next!

I agree with this. The top end of the SNES crushes the top end of NES, but the bulk of the NES library I find a lot more playable.

Probably one of my hottest takes is that I think the NES has a better library than the SNES

Yesterday, I got 4:54.332 SMB1 ANY% WORLD RECORD!! This run was TAS tie pace to walljump and I lost a frame on the pipe entry, but with a great turnaround room, I was able to clutch out WR by 2 frames! We're now 4 frames / 0.06s from TAS tie, and I won't stop until it's achieved!

If we had a nickel for every time Anthony Rizzo's caught a Cubs home run in the bleachers, we'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice!

The Japanese version of my game is finally done! I’m working on the English version too, but there’s no release window yet. I’d be happy if you could watch over it at a relaxed pace. #nesdev
