Spent my birthday at Galloping Ghost arcade, always a great time. Also had to pull out my Switch 2 in the presence of an OG Donkey Kong cabinet, y'know, to appreciate how far we've come. Been through a lot 🦍

RIP Jane Goodall. An incredible force in animal conservationism, primatology and zoology. A big personal influence as well, as I do zoo monitor work to help with habitats and enrichment. Her work shed light on just how alike all of us apes really are, and how empathy is integral. Also inspired this!

Happy World Gorilla Day! While Donkey Kong fans always have gorillas on the brain, take some time today to read up on the work being done to preserve our magnificent relatives in their natural habitat, whether that be a tropical jungle or Sublayer 100.

Finding myself in a moment of deep contemplation and gratitude. Had one told me a year ago I'd be experiencing this, I would not have believed it for a second.

Hardest secret I've ever had to keep. Extremely grateful to the crew at Rare for providing me with such a cool opportunity. Happy 40th!
The latest SoT News is here, and its final seconds unveil some stunning Anniversary artwork (soon to come to Spotify and other places) by @camreigle.bsky.social! So many easter eggs...

Heartbroken over the news today about Rare, and Rare related projects. Sympathies to all those affected... Unfortunate timing that the biggest Donkey Kong game since the days at Rare is around the corner, where it's celebrating the studio's contributions... Almost feels like a eulogy at this point.

Will be watching, will be anticipating, will hopefully not be disappointed. I mean, even if they pull a Mario Kart World Direct on us, I'm still game, I've already seen enough to get me excited!

What if the NES COULD handle Yoshi? NES Yoshi based off the concept art. Orange Arms as a call back (forward?) to Super Mario World initial sprite of Yoshi. Did it on a grid of 8x8 blocks.
