Devastated to learn we've lost the brilliant Arleen Sorkin. Not just a wonderful talent, but a truly wonderful person. I'm grateful not only to have worked with her, but to have been her friend. 🙏 Sending my heartfelt condolences to her family & loved ones. 💔

Spent some quality time checking out #SteamNextFest titles today! 😊
Here's a thread with some recommendations from the puzzle/strategy spectrum, if you're looking for a nice #indiegame demo for a chill Saturday ☕️
Will keep adding to it as I find stuff, probably.

@toddpetersen I don’t recognize this one, but would guess Kurosawa. Maybe Rashomon if I had to take a shot in the dark.
Speaking of wordle with screen grabs, someone made https://t.co/mOAjhZqtQr

@ReimuNotMoe I’m not familiar with any retro synth hardware or how it would integrate. My guess is that it would be possible, but is outside the scope of my goal for the project (which is simply to play PICO-8 games on more hardware). Sounds interesting if someone wants to fork and try though

[Jon Bell @jtothebell]

New FAKE-08 release. Mostly audio and text improvements. I’m enjoying using 🦣 and primarily moving over there:

@iambecomeseth Interesting. I don’t have a Trimui model S, nor did I know the Bittboy version would work on it. I’m not sure why the audio would be borked either.

[Jon Bell @jtothebell]

New release of FAKE-08. Mostly bug fixes. A few p8scii control code and sprite drawing edge cases, along with a music fix from github user fringd 🎉. Plus added a libretro core version for Miyoo Mini and Android if you are comfortable side loading cores

@angelbolanose @FSouchu @gamecactus You should be able to unzip the standalone version and start the first cart. If that doesn’t work, I’d need more specific info (preferably in a GitHub issue) about software versions and the error message.

[Jon Bell @jtothebell]

New FAKE-08 update improves compatibility on all supported platforms. Now you can play Poom by @FSouchu and @gamecactus (and other #PICO8 games) on Miyoo Mini, Vita, 3ds, OpenDingux, Switch, etc.

@TeamBlackSeraph @rymdmetafor @RetroHandhelds @RetroGameCorps @carygolomb @0_game_it @victoriemini It’s not perfect if it’s not running official Pico-8, most notably audio emulation is not great. The vast majority of games should play well though.

[Black Seraph @TeamBlackSeraph]

Added 17 cores / systems to GarlicOS, Pico-8 now uses fake08, integer scaling got fixed, FF no longer freezes randomly and we now have game system icon support.

In a world where fandoms rarely see eye to eye, Kevin Conroy was pretty much one of the few things we all agreed on. He was THE voice, and he will be missed for a long, long time. Rest in peace, Dark Knight.

[RetroHandhelds.gg @RetroHandhelds]

RH Weekly: AYANEO 2 is coming, X18S Ultra is here, RP3 is getting a funtastic colorway, and Pico-08 emulation is reaching new heights with Fake-08's RetroArch core! Also, Zu reviews Rambo, and Raven has nefarious info to share about an RH Patron.

11 years ago today, Remedial Chaos Theory aired and i'm still convinced we're living in the darkest timeline.

[Jon Bell @jtothebell]

Tom makes stuff that sparks joy. Hoping a few more people back this project to put it over the edge.

[Tom Brinton @brintown]

🐵ZOOMATES UPDATE!

We are up and over the $5k mark thanks to @heychasebaker! 👏

Only a few days left to back this project and get a beautiful wooden puzzle game!

Finally picked up a copy of Picnic in the Ruins and was pleasantly surprised to find a signature on the title page @toddpetersen @KingsEnglish Excited to finally read it after hearing about it on @protagonistpod with @JDarowski

Getting email on a normal day: "Ooh fun, an email!"

Getting email on a busy day: "Don't these godforsaken people know I have things to do?!"
