Welcome to the Retroverse! Where the Gamer Dads Fight for Survival
Sean and Chris here. Just two regular dads. Brothers. Gamers. Then one day !BOOM! we’re face-first in a cursed arcade cabinet. Glitchy code. Broken pixels. Snack monsters with teeth. Welcome to the Retroverse.
It blinked. It taunted. We pressed start. Bad move. We got sucked into neon cityscapes, root beer rivers, and pizza skies. Totally radical? Not when everything’s trying to kill you.
Now we’ve got one busted signal back to Earth. So we built this: part website, part resistance HQ, disguised as a merch shop and blog full of nonsense.
Laugh hard. Play loud. Wear pixels like armor. For some reason, it scrambles the enemy’s code, and keeps us alive.
Unlikely Heroes
I'm Sean, the big ginger beard guy whose hair gave up on him long ago. I pressed one button and now we’re stuck in an AI-glitched arcade hell. Classic me.
I'm Chris, the tall skinny guy just trying to figure out what the heck is going on. Pretty sure this is all Sean’s fault.
I've been winging it since level one. If it glows, I touch it. If it growls, I apologize and run. Beard first. Questions later.
I made a to-do list. Step 1: Don’t panic. Step 2: Already panicking.
Seriously. Would you rather fight one horse-sized bagel bite or a hundred bite-sized Shredderonis?
Meanwhile:
Shredderoni is oozing across Glitchhaven like a spicy virus.
Crumbuckets is launching marinara missiles at everything that moves.
And DocNostrum? He’s updating reality itself, patch by evil patch, erasing our cheat codes and probably our cholesterol.
Okay, real talk, we have no idea how the Retroverse works.
Like, none. Zilch. It’s all chaos, neon, and exploding ravioli.
But for some reason, and don’t ask us to explain the science, these three things absolutely annihilate Shredderoni’s evil code:
Bad dad jokes. (The groanier, the better.)
Old-school game recs. (Preferably something pixelated and slightly haunted.)
Pixel shirts. (Yes. Our shirts. Apparently they slap.)
We don’t get it.
We don’t question it.
We weaponize it.
