Loving retro-tech and colorful neon pastel art. 
Sometimes I like to reverse engineer old video games. 

You may also remember me from such software as:

Toad's Tool 64: The original Super Mario 64 level editor.

Metroid Cubed: An early 2000s attempt at voxelizing a classic 2D video game. Recently revived as Metroid Curved.

SFXEdit: A level editor for Star Fox.

Wonderful weather today in Montreal! ☀️🚲

Went on a bike ride along Lachine canal and took pictures of the old Coleco Canada factory where Colecovision consoles were made/assembled in the 80s, along with classics toys like hockey tables and the Cabbage Patch Kids dolls!

This factory complex dates to the industrial revolution (1882) and was occupied by Coleco Canada from 1967 to 1989.

The "VTuber" face mapping feature in the new Star Fox reminded me that a decade ago I mapped the original SNES Andross face polygons to my facial expressions and had some fun with it!

I'm sorry to say that I'm *very excited* about the new Star Fox for Switch 2...

The original SNES game has a special place in my heart, and I've fond memories of playing Star Fox 64.

None of the more recent sequels grabbed my interest.

I haven't played SF64 since the 90s for various reasons, like not owning an N64 or a good emulator/controller setup.

Also, despite loving SM64 and OOT, I was never a fan of the N64 low res blurry textures, and I didn't get a 3DS so I missed the remake.

have you heard of #webgbcam ?

it's a web tool (PWA even, add it to your home screen!) that uses your device's cameras to simulate the look of the game boy camera! you can record short gifs with it and there's also a 1bpp atkinson dithering mode!
