DaVinci Resolve is great but it is definitely pro-level software.

Lizard is done. One of my all-time favorite homebrews. I would have beaten it in under 45 minutes this time if I hadn't made a few boneheaded mistakes at the end.

And for anyone who missed it, here's our full livestream playthrough of NEScape:

Great, thanks!

I was wondering about that. I'll see if I can figure out how to view those.

We had someone ask this on Discord also. I know we dropped the explicit tag but I didn't realize there was an audience for this kind of filthy content. If I've got a recording set up where Bart and Conor can't make it I might bring back SMB2 and Lizard cartridge for a three-way conversation... Not sure I'd be able to get a word in edgewise though as those are gonna be some extremely hot takes

Oh, and we're giving away a free digital copy of the excellent Witch n' Wiz for NES, courtesy of Matt Hughson! Just leave us a review on iTunes to enter, and we'll announce the winner during our upcoming Deadeus episode (due January 2022).
