  1. Pfft that’s so 90s, why not go old school with a Beef Fizz!
  2. Agree with the problem growing with the rise of social media. People think that the ability to say something equates to having a default assumption that anything they say is something worth listening to.
  3. Yep, check out their website and you’ll see the US/EU version, the JP regular edition, and the JP limited edition. They also have a famicom edition of the A Hole New World soundtrack. https://firstpressgames.com/collections/collection?page=3
  4. They’re based out of Germany. They started off looking like an alternative to LRG and SLG and even did a re-release of the chiptune soundtrack to A Hole New World, originally sold by LRG. They appeared on my radar when they handled the KS for the GB homebrew Tobu Tobu Girl Deluxe.
  5. I suspect if this goes well, First Press Games will do more homebrew collaborations to bring more games to the Famicom.
  6. With all that’s been said, I’m thinking that the next time I bump my WTB thread, I’ll include a bounty for one of the much rarer items and see what happens.
  7. Famicom edition of Project Blue has just launched on Kickstarter from First Press Games:
  8. I just wish there was still a way to get Cross Strait Independence. I’m still kicking myself for missing that one.
  9. I’m going to PM you so as to not derail the thread, but I’d be happy to start a separate “college life” and/or “admissions advice” thread if there is interest as well.
  10. It sounds like the vendor option was the best choice for a clearly higher demand item, and something that would be more desired should have those pluses you mentioned in terms of item quality and it’s ability to help the site. Maybe more specialty items would make sense for those commission-based sites, like hats and pins. I’m holding out hope for the Casual Cart fashion line.
  11. Squeeeee! Here comes Shmup Speed 2: Shmup Control aka The Shmupening
  12. Please tell me you’re going to do a stream of Battle Kid 2, while your wife sits next to you saying that over and over
  13. Indeed! Clearly you need to make a sequel, maybe maintaining a certain level of presses per second during boss fights increases the power of your weapons or reduces the damage you take.
  14. My folks were too cheap to buy thunder coats, so they made a couple of their own with old pillow cases, foam stuffing, and a lot of duct tape. Our dogs looked incredibly stupid...but chill.
  15. @Gloves I remember you mentioning you were thinking about making a game of your own, would it have been a shmup? Would love to see what you come up with!
  16. Awesome turnout for this month’s entry, which technically isn’t even a game!
  17. Gah, this is why I feel awkward talking about it unless asked directly. I had a lot of things going in my favor, but in the end luck played a huge role. I’m so happy I got to attend though I still get waves of imposter syndrome that gives me a chip on my shoulder to do more with what there opportunities that’s afforded me.
  18. Gee I wonder? Go wildcats! I went to Harvard; I was so happy I got to visit last year for my 10-year reunion. For me so little had changed on campus, though the surrounding city had changed a lot. I got to see all the people I wanted to see most, and reconnect with so many other friends. My favorite part was that I was invited to be a class marshal for commencement because I had helped with some pre-reunion stuff. As part of the event, I got to wear a top hat and tails and march with my class in an alumni procession to the ceremony where the keynote speaker was Angela Merkel. I’ve loved my school and my overall experiences so much that I interview high school kids applying for admission, which is itself a lot of fun.
  19. Added Dana Puch's GB homebrew Micro Doctor and moved in the chiptune soundtrack to A Hole New World.
  20. Dana Puch just relaunched her Kickstarter for the GB homebrew Where is my body? A higher tier includes a bundle for other GB homebrews Micro Doctor, Lunar Journey, and Submarine 9. I have also moved the chiptune soundtrack of A Hole New World to the Almanac now that pre-orders are shipping.
  21. College is ultimately what you make of it. I grew up in a bit of a bubble because my parents were pretty strict. So when I got to college and I wasn’t under their supervision, it was fun to explore. My only regrets were that I didn’t explore more and that I wasted freshman year trying to adjust to the culture shock of a new environment and not realizing I had initially surrounded myself with toxic people. I wasn’t the party every night doing keg stands type, but I explored my new city, stayed up late chatting with people in my dorm, and had fun with all kinds of classes because my concentration and core requirements afforded me a lot of electives. Do you have any specific questions about college?
  22. Happy birthday @ecmyers! I've been enjoying your streams when I'm able to catch them!
