"Floats Fan" on Discord says: "been listening to rydeen nonstop for two days"

All VGM flows from RYDEEN. If that name doesn't sound familiar to you, go have a listen. You might end up like this.

plus it's not true, Unknown Games keeps chipping away at the next Koihime version and the moment rollback drops I will never shut up ever again, so there's that

Samurai Shodown 2 has a screen for the fastest KOs. You will notice that there's a stat for 1P VS 2P; this WILL show up after a round in versus play if you fuck them up fast enough.

I've never thought about it that way and your brain is enormous and correct.

Liu Bei visits Zhuge Liang three times at Luckin Coffee.

it sounds bizarre to say it now but you can find so much media of the era saying boldly that Speed Racer and Astro Boy are "classic cartoons" that, quite frankly, I think Fred Ladd pulled off a way bigger PR whitewash than anyone gives him credit for.

it's fascinating to me how the American public was tricked for something like 50 years into thinking that anime was "just American cartoons" and people are somehow still offended by the concept of anime today.

all four of us driving to frosty were chronic yappers so this is significant

thinking about how I was playing one of the old sushi playlists during the drive to Frosty and when RYDEEN came on we instinctively shut up and jammed to it from start to finish

Takahashi-san really tapped into a primal groove with that one, so much VGM flows straight from RYDEEN.

This is a nice article. I would have made a lot of the same (or similar) recs for the synth-heavy side. If you're new to this stuff, and especially if the acronym "YMO" means nothing to you, you should absolutely give this a shot:

Streets are saying SFV has never been more back

did they actually buy out the Bawls manufacturing??? I've always like, assumed it but couldn't find concrete proof

i mean I'm happy for the fact that Micro Center seems permanently frozen in circa 2005 but also How

no seriously the only place I've ever seen these for sale is specifically at Micro Center and nowhere else

With some interior decorating, an old Toyota, and a trip to Micro Center, you can replicate the average day of a LAN party enthusiast in the early 2000s any time you want.

will it be worth it financially? no
will it be fun? yes

Therefore I would buy two of them.

happy to see you holding it down!
I will return to the Midwest for more SF5 some day...

Working on a Roger sticker 🦘

Since these seem to be real actual video capture, do you have any details on how they did it? Video capture from AV sources prior to like the mid-2010s was always some kind of dark magic, and I wonder what specific brand they used.

This is extremely work in progress and part of a HUGE undertaking, but I wanted to share some "proof of life" for getting Game Informer magazine's original screenshot captures from way back in 1993 recovered off of digital backup tapes. If they had any lost builds, we might be able to recover images

She started at age 70 and was doing raids all the way through.

An ad for Crystal Dynamics, featuring Gex, front and center. It promises "multiple games, multiple platforms, multiple orgasms."

Okay I buried the lede here. In the 1995 E3 Show Daily, Crystal Dynamics ran an ad that promised, in no uncertain terms, that playing Gex would give you "multiple orgasms"

They ran this ad at a professional event

this is the traditional NL-driven purchase, I nearly got baited into buying Nubby for the same reason

yikes ok, unfollowing now. really enjoyed her exhibit at the louvre, had no idea she’s in the epstein files.
