The Best Gift is Always a Sword
The Idea: This holiday season I wanted to break the mold with what I got my partner as a gift. I didn’t want to do anything cliche and wanted to put a bit of myself into the gift. I wanted to make something that said “I respect you as my equal. Let’s go fight the
Haikou Released!
Haikou is a Gameboy compatible game I’ve worked on for over a year now. I initially made the demo for a game jam in 2024 and have since redone large swaths of the title. Hope y’all enjoy! You are Asahi, a student who craves inspiration in a lackluster life. On the eve of your final
1928 RCA Radiola 18
Found this gem at a peddlers’s mall! All the tubes seems to be intact (cursory glance at the getters), though the cords are dry rotted, and the inside has a lot of surface rust. Haven’t plugged it in yet because I don’t want to accidentally cause a fire or worse … harm the tubes. I
New Tires!

A New Battery for my TEC-1D Z80 Computer
How this came to be: I originally came across the TEC (Talking Electronics Computer1) while researching how to load home-brewed Gameboy ROMs onto bootleg carts.

With it, I’ve troubleshot radios, ignition systems, slayer exciters, florescent lighting, and quite a few other systems. It is a quick-to-make and extremely cheap tool. I will talk
New painting based off “Blinded by the Setting Sun”
This is a rendition of my favorite scene from Blinded by the Setting Sun by MURO. The night after Lord Hildegar’s identity is revealed to Elkin as both the woman he loves and the target of his vendetta, Hildegar runs away into the bitter cold of the North. This is the moment he finds her
After many months and interesting life changes, Haikou Enters Beta
I’ve been working on and off on Haikou since its initial demo release last October. After finding my motivation to work again and getting past some pretty serious writers block, I made it over the hump and out of development hell. The game is now entering its Beta stage which shouldn’t take all that long
This is a test of the Insurgency Alert System
Do not attempt to adjust your television screens… (First Post Test)
