I’ve been occasionally breaking down into a mess throughout the day, but I am finding solace in the 4+ hours of conversation I recorded with Itagaki-san last year for a book we were working on together. They were his development memoirs, and I will do everything in my power to bring this to life.

Found an image that represents the sad state of console manufacturers in 2025 (Switch 2 is basically a handheld so I don't count it)...come on Microsoft, keep the competition going, stop outsourcing your hardware shit and do more design in house too

Hey friends. After having open heart surgery in Dec and another procedure in July, I've been left in 10k+ debt while recovering. During this, we were also laid off from Skullgirls. To try to help dig myself out, I have begun listing things on eBay: ebay.com/usr/mshinzan

I regret noticing the condition that my childhood comics are in, there is so much humidity here that some of them are almost like melted together (the ones that were not kept in plastic sleeves...), so yeah...that is why you need to use comic book sleeves...(but even the ones in sleeves are rough)

Honestly kind of surprised how positive the ActRaiser video response was since I was worried I was pushing things into the "too loud" zone, well what do you know what dangerous doors this opens up for me now...

Well I realized after posting this the C64 was out in 1982 so to correct myself I guess this is "the three calendar years of timeline they decided to use"

Boost Mix Music - game music remastering @boostmixmusic.bsky.social · 1d

The same issue of that magazine has a nice little summarized history of the first three calendar years of the #C64 including Jeff Minter game callouts and some interesting commentary about what games sold well and why

85 leading into 86 and comment about movie conversion games like Never Ending Story selling well

85 mentions "communications are coming increasingly within the reach of the average hobbyists with the average budget" and a budget modem, and the launch of the Amiga making a splash in July 1985

March 1984 is the beginning of the timeline given with several mentions of Jeff Minter games on this page

Australian game history...nice interview with the devs from Beam/Melbourne House about C64/Amiga LOTR Shadows of Mordor is in "Australian Commodore and Amiga Review" Vol 5 Issue 4 (April 1988). Some interesting comments about market dynamics for computer games and making text heavy licensed RPG

Some comments about how UK gamer is younger with a Spectrum computer but US gamer might be a 28 year old with an IBM

Britain had a game glut and hard to get consistent sales whereas America had different level of expectation for the delivery and quality of the game

What is the total cumulative work that has been lost by Windows deciding to reboot in the middle the night?? It is kind of crazy to me how hard it is to disable this from happening
