Re: Think The NES Can't Handle Mode 7? Think Again
@KingMike Are you're thinking of the tech demo Upsilandre did in 2019? (no special mapper)

Upsilandre has a good follow up article on the Axelay effect vs Mode 7 too

Re: New Storefront Law Tells Us What We All Should Know: We Don't Own Digital Games
@Poodlestargenerica Games on physical media such as cartridges are different from digital rentals because they are covered by the First Sale Doctrine.

@RootsGenoa
Can you do embed blocks with iframes in them?
Clicking the "..." menu in the lower right of a mastodon post gives the option to show an iframe style embed code like this:
<iframe src="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@bbbbbr/113078596193284702/embed" class="mastodon-embed" style="max-width: 100%; border: 0" width="400" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><script src="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/embed.js" async="async"></script>
Re: Hacker Gets The Game Boy Camera Working On The Mega Duck
@RootsGenoa The video was also posted to Mastodon (and linked from bsky), but TIme Extension doesn't seem to monitor content on those sites.

In general most of my dev content gets posted to Mastodon with only occasional updates on twitter
