— Update 07/2021: I wasn’t aware until recently of the Japanese show (Final Fantasy XIV: Dad of Light) and movie (Brave Father Online: Our Story of Final Fantasy XIV) that featured FFXIV as a plot vehicle.

… AND I DID! (all original 151 Kanto Pokémon)
Just a few outings of us playing Pokemon Go this year. Most of these people are either on the Orlando Raids Pokemon Go Discord, or the Pokemon Go-UCF Discord, or both. Both servers are highly active in the Central Florida area. Here’s a video of people playing around Lake Eola at night when Pokemon…
Triple Trip put out an update to spout: monochrome mission, the pixel flying/carving game. Music by yours truly. Arthur Guibert coded it all. Here is a link to the original spout game that this was based on.

They’ve got a playable Atari 2600 (which I played several games on), an NES, a bunch of arcade machines, and 80s pop culture galore, including statues of Q*Bert, Piranha Plants, Slimer, etc. They also play 80s…
Apparently, DS9 on the SNES was a thing 😛
Spout: monochrome mission ships today! Thanks to Arthur Guibert for giving me the opportunity to score this great little game. It’s only the second low-fi game I’ve had the chance to work on. It is a remake of the original game by Kuni, ported and maintained by various developers, including: Alekmaul and Nick White.
