@betothebop It's an R36S+. Had to buy quite a lot of units before finding one that was not a dud. Used SSH and I'm building something to make it easy to deploy web games.

What if you could build web games and run them on a real hardware game console? This is something I"ve been tinkering with - these demos are little web apps running on a game console. Pretty fun!

Fantastic Asterogue review from PepperHeadGaming. 🙏

Also, Asterogue is still on sale for the ANZ Indiefest for just a couple more days. 😀

I wrote up a spec/standard for bundling spritesheet metadata into the spritesheet PNG itself. Hope it's useful!

Deathbot Meadows is my 2026 entry.

Made with Scittle (Script) & Three.js

Inspired by "Dicewars" and Risk.

Enjoy!

AI disclosure: I used LLMs to help write the code, image generators, and an image-to-mesh converter to produce 3d models.

Something I've only come to appreciate recently.

When an engineer hears "tech debt" they hear "bad". You don't want to go into debt if you can help it. It makes you anxious. You want to pay it off ASAP.

But for business folks debt is just a tool to enable more growth. Debt is good, it's essential. You pay it off from future growth, or roll it over. But tech debt doesn't work like that.

I think this leads to a lot of miscommunication and frustration.

I built a local AI inference machine and I'm running it off solar power. 🤖🌞
