I interviewed the devs behind Azahar, the #Nintendo #3DS emulator

We chatted about their paths into 3DS development, Citra, the creation of Azahar itself, and the new wave of dual screen handheld #gaming consoles bringing fresh attention to 3DS #emulation

There's plenty here on #opensource and preservation, the future of Azahar and more. Hope you all enjoy it:

Gardiner and I both worked on a depressing little article about how A.I. companies are quite literally destroying warehouses full of books for their own profit.

This is (I think) the second time Gardiner and I have written an article together. I hope that even though it is some sobering news, it might help as yet another reminder that everything we love is slowly being taken from us by companies working for their own ends.

@Mastodon

Funnily enough I'm listening to Men at Arms on my morning walks at the moment!

@killyourfm

Your adventures make my day-to-day feel so bland by comparison!

@killyourfm

This was such a lovely read with my morning coffee :)

(I'd 100% live in that fire lookout)

@killyourfm

That pool is filled with my jealousy! If I was closer, I'd be on my way!!!

Soak it up, J. That view is magic

@killyourfm

Is that the Reflecting Pool in Washington?

@killyourfm

I love how cozy the lights made this!

@killyourfm

Waiting for the general non-pay-early release on Game Pass! Which I think is today actually!!!! So later on this evening, YES!

@killyourfm

Speaking of, will you be playing the new FH6?

@killyourfm

Forget the tech, the stars are waiting!

@killyourfm

More shoegaze than grunge, but if you haven't heard Wisp, she's pure magic:

@killyourfm

I legitimately thought this was a toy race car, and was going to write about it. I think that tells you how much of a wood worker/power tool operator I am -____-

Another in an increasing amount of nostalgia related #gaming articles has gone up. I wrote this one on the #Sega Dreamcast's weirdest game - #Seaman

Narrated by an actor from #StarTrek about a fish frog man you 'grow' and chat to via a microphone?

Yeah. Seaman is 𝘸𝘦𝘪𝘳𝘥

Anyway, if you're looking for some interesting stories about a very interesting game, then check it out:

Predator!

@killyourfm

Gardiner and I discussed this, reigniting his forum. But...we've ended up on Matrix

Goh_billy took 300 original #PlayStation save icons, and made a collage of them in the shape of the original #Sony console logo.

Which is the kind of creativity I love in #gaming these days!

@killyourfm

WHAT

He was a member of Massive Attack, early on (in a limited capacity), but he's very much one of those who formed trip-hop as a genre!

@killyourfm

You're forgetting Tricky's Maxinquaye!

Well that weird #DeusEx remaster (that won exactly no one over with its visuals) had been delayed with no new date announced.

It was meant to release Feb 5th 2026, but now Aspyr is refunding those who did pre-order.

Aspyr:

"We've listened to what you said, and in order to better meet fan expectations and deliver the best possible experience for players, Deus Ex Remastered will no longer launch on Feb. 5, 2026."

Another #gaming casualty maybe?
