Show HN: An 8-bit live gamecast for baseball

Hey HN, I built a website to watch live baseball games in an 8-bit broadcast. It takes live MLB data streams and converts them into near real-time pixel art gamecasts. Been waiting to share this for when there’s actually a good slate of games happening since the site is pretty bare otherwise.

Been waiting to share this for when there’s actually a good slate of games happening since the site is pretty bare otherwise.

Here is today's schedule:

Mets @ Reds - 9:40am PDT https://ribbie.tv/watch/game/824503

Royals @ Nationals - 10:05am PDT https://ribbie.tv/watch/game/822721

Marlins @ Phillies - 10:05am PDT https://ribbie.tv/watch/game/823450

Tigers @ Astros - 11:10am PDT https://ribbie.tv/watch/game/824178

Padres @ Cardinals - 11:15am PDT https://ribbie.tv/watch/game/823044

..and another 14 games throughout the later day.

I'm still early on in this project, but I've tried to add little details with actual stadiums, day and night modes, between inning graphics and interstitials, live scoreboards, etc.

Would love any feedback and ideas. Thanks for checking it out!

The streaming industry has gotten a lot of flak over the past few years, but there is one thing that Hollywood studios are undeniably good at: recycling the same idea, over and over and over again until the world ends (or until everyone finally decides they’re sick of Harry Potter, whichever comes first). This tried-and-true formula is now playing out in real time with Prime Video's Off Campus and Netflix’s upcoming series Icebreaker, shows that, like Heated Rivalry, are hockey-themed...
