I finished Golden Sun! An excellent rpg game for the Game Boy Advance. It reminded me of Chrono Trigger and perhaps Zelda, with dungeon puzzles. #retrogames #gaming #rpg #sega #gameboy #gba

I found an easy strategy to defeat Zangetsu in Bloodstained Ritual of the Night. Crouch in the door, lethal boots equipped, keep attacking.
This trick works in a lot of games! I've used this strategy in retro games like Golden Axe Warrior too. Bounding boxes! #gaming #PC #castlevania

I finished Oblivion Remastered. This was my first time playing through the game. It felt similar to an earlier Skyrim. This was a good game, but the scaling difficulty was a drawback. A wolf defeating a level 12 hero?! *shrug*

I programmed in hex (binary) with AI. It was surprisingly adept at creating programs that print ASCII art. The resulting code was copied into a hex editor and run with DOSBox. Follow-up article coming soon!
