About Me

Just who is this mysterious man?

Hello! Thank you for stopping by my website. I'm Lcd101, as you may have gathered. I make games, art, and whatever keeps me happy. I also happen to love retro gaming and have a particular affinity for CRT monitors.

In the real world, I do much of the same. I work around broadcasting and look forward to writing about it on my blog here. When I'm not training to be the world's best broadcast engineer or traveling around the world, I usually work on my own hobbyist projects or tend to my 175+ consoles.

You can find me on Twitter, where I post more informally. You can also find the links in the sidebar to your left. I typically post archival content on YouTube, albeit infrequently. By the way, did you know that I was the final Splatoon player on the Nintendo Network, staying online for sixty-eight days post-shutdown? Phew, I think that's enough plugging for today!

Some of my interests include:

Retro gaming

More specifically the games Snatcher and Policenauts by Hideo Kojima.

But I'll play pretty much anything. EXCEPT FOR THAT AWFUL BACK TO THE FUTURE GAME. You know the one.

Or was it two? Or three, or... You get the idea.

Television broadcasting (Although I'm not opposed to radio.)

Personifying game consoles and making an unfinished VN/adventure game hybrid with them. (I make games.)

Writing, especially for my personal projects.

Any kind of old tech. If it exists and it's utterly pointless today, I'm sure I'll write about it on my blog.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

"Are you the same Lcd101 from the Nintendo Network/Splatoon?"

Yes! I made headlines in 2024 for staying on the Nintendo Network for two months after it shut down. I was the final Splatoon player and the third-to-last player on the Nintendo Network. Many outlets have reported on me, including Kotaku, Destructoid, GameSpot, GamesRadar, and even Softonic. You can read more here:

"Why broadcasting?"

Why not? Not just broadcasting, but television broadcasting! It began around twenty years ago when I toured the facilities of my local PBS station as a child. Then, the 2009 digital switchover gave me more questions than answers. Ever since then, I've been trying to chase the elusive dream of working in televison. Also, I have aspergers and niche interests that consume my life are kinda my whole thing.

"Is your Wii U still operational?"

Of course it is! But that's mostly because I stayed online (on the Nintendo Network) using a Steam Deck, as well as my system files from my Wii U. Everything was set up to be as stock as possible. I've just plugged in the Steam Deck for the first time since I got booted offline and it looks like everything's still working just fine... Man, these things are built to last.

(Even though my first one had several stuck pixels.)

"Where are you located?"

A mix of Central Florida and London. You can usually find me at Greggs. But I'm originally from New York City and try to visit home once a year! (Mostly for the PBS member station up there, WNET Thirteen. Good shit!)

"What's your secret macaroni cheese recipe?"

Prepare it however you'd like. Once it's ready, add Goldfish crackers. Then, keep adding delicious, mouthwatering Goldfish crackers. Once you're done, add a dash more Goldfish crackers. You've now unlocked Lcd101's way.

Hello? Can anybody hear me?
