This is John "rodneylives" Harris' homepage. I have several others, but this is one of them. Here is my portfolio of writing, pixel art and other things. If I am alive when you see it, please consider asking me to work on your project for money! If I am no longer alive then I'm sorry but I cannot help you, but at least I won't need money any more.
The gaming blog we run is Set Side B. It covers retro, niche and indie interests! I write about all sorts of things there, including roguelikes, romhacks, weird arcade games and gaming culture videos.
Long ago, I wrote the popular roguelike column @Play for the indie gaming blog GameSetWatch, which sadly no longer exists except on the Wayback Machine.
I made Exploring Roguelike Games for CRC Press, which is a collection of @Play columns with some updates and added material.
On Metafilter I'm JHarris. On Mastodon I'm at @rodneylives@mefi.social. On Bluesky I'm @rodneylives. If I'm on other places I don't check them often.
The internet has decayed a lot since the heady days in the early 2000s, but it can be revived! Avoid big tech where you can, support open source tools, public services and net neutrality, be a good netizen, and don't succumb to cynicism!
