NES Works/Segaiden video and book producer; Retronauts co-host. Speaks the binary programming language of moisture vaporators. I did not invent the word "Metroidvania," and my opinions don't represent those of my employers. He/him. Header pic: Sonya Yruel.
@jparish.bsky.socialThis issue is a trip! Surreal to see my own words (and those of my friends) exhumed from the lost hellworld of cancellation
@jparish.bsky.socialManaged to sneak in a WORKING session before the floor closed. Couldn’t get the rhythm of Andor Genesis and barely made the high-score table, though. Infinite shame
@jparish.bsky.socialThanks to all who came to my "bad NES games" presentation this afternoon! I hope you, too, have learned to see the beauty and potential in "bad" games and will henceforth choose to...
@jparish.bsky.socialTake a walk! The city is amazing at sunrise. Do a circuit thru the nearest park, it's a great start to the day
@jparish.bsky.socialIt had definitely been a JAV title at some point
@jparish.bsky.socialHoly smokes! My presentation is in 15 minutes!!
@jparish.bsky.socialWhy would you say this to me in such a vulnerable moment
@jparish.bsky.socialSaw the publishing date on this video and immediately climbed into an open grave to wrap myself in dirt like a blanket
@jparish.bsky.socialIn order to ensure that you are sufficiently hyped about my @retrogamingexpo.bsky.social presentation about bad NES games tomorrow, here is the presentation I gave last year in which I celebrated the NES's 40th anniversary by talking about all of its competitors
@jparish.bsky.socialLikewise, and I actively kept an eye open for games that aped the shaky, low-poly of PS1
@jparish.bsky.socialHow could you do this to me bsky.app/profile/jpar...
@jparish.bsky.socialMy first presentation of the PRGE weekend (read: interjecting dumb jokes into the Retronauts 20th anniversary talk that Bob has assembled) starts in 25 minutes! If you are in Portland, you should come! Even if you don’t like video games! Or us!
@jparish.bsky.socialI regret to inform you that PRGE 2026 has broken my tiny heart
@jparish.bsky.socialHard to believe that people like Trump would be so enthusiastic about tech that doesn’t respect consent
@jparish.bsky.socialWe are exploring the possibility of swapping slots so that tomorrow’s Retronauts panel at @retrogamingexpo.bsky.social and my NES Works panel on Sunday trade places. Who knows how it will shake out! The only way to be sure is to attend BOTH presentations
@jparish.bsky.socialWhat I’m getting from this thumbnail is that Grant Morrison IS the new James Bond
@jparish.bsky.socialTrying to swipe some of that Land-O-Lakes heat
@johnandersen.bsky.socialReposted by @jparish.bsky.socialRest in Peace.
@jparish.bsky.socialI should be paid a dollar every time an app or website pesters me to let it cram some superfluous A.I. feature down my throat, and five dollars if I've previously dismissed that nag prompt
@jparish.bsky.socialHaven’t tried it, but it was listed as new old stock, so maybe?
