    I don't think the NES is that interesting. Who said it is? It was just another machine that came out, had some games, got outdated, and then was replaced by something else just lik…

    Because once you go 3D, you might as well just go modern 3D. It's why, amusingly, the PS1 game that is probably the most highly regarded today is a 2D game (Symphony of the Night).…

    That's not true. He works on it offline, and honestly, even if he did only work on it 2 hours per week, it's STILL not as far along as it should be by now for a supposed game devel…

    I find it hilarious that people even entertain the idea that the only roadblock for MacOS is that it only works on Apple hardware. Gamers would NOT want an OS run by those psychopa…

    He doesn't just work on it on-stream or on video. I remember seeing some video a long time ago where he literally talked about what he was doing with it offline in between videos, …
