“It’s still happening” - Josh Fairhurst 3/25/23

Can’t wait for their Rondo of Blood TG-16 release on a CD-R…

Limited Run Games Apologizes for CD-R Discs After Fan Outcry, Says It's Working on Pressed Disc Solution - IGN Limited Run Games has apologized to fans who purchased the 3DO game D after it was discovered the company used CD-Rs instead of pressed discs.

Oh, did you miss the news?

I just want to know if LRG is still just burning a CD-R. If PCE Works can make pressed discs… why can’t LRG?! 😆

I hope Nintendo never announces a Switch successor. It’s much funnier to be stuck in an endless cycle of people claiming to know what’s going to happen.

And if they do launch a successor… they’d better name it the “Switch U”.

Very nice. Enjoy!

Phenomenal work!

It’s finally here, Izzy Perri and I made a thing, four songs mashed into two songs 🪩

‘Memories Of The Future, Vol. 1’ is out now! ✨

Kind of disappointed in the broken AMD presentation of 9000 series GPUs. They gave you, and others, more detail than their own presentation. I get that they’re want Nvidia to “shoot first”. But they should have had a united front and said that more info about 9000 series GpUs will come later in Q125

This incredible illustration showing a Giger-esque bio-mechanical figure was by sci-fi artist, Naoyuki Kato, which was also used for the box packaging in Japan. Published by Irem in Japan, the ad tells the story of a gigantic alien object on a collision course with Earth, populated with multiplying lifeforms, and it is up to this transforming warrior to stop it before it arrives by detonating ten devices within it!

Teasing a release date of January 29th the next year, the fate of Earth rests in the hands of a "powerful female warrior". Outside Japan, it would be known as The Guardian Legend.

Do you know of any discounted Black Myth Wukomg keys for legit sellers ? Green man had for a little under $50 usd, but it’s sold out now.

if you got a new Nintendo Switch, make sure to get Jump Rope Challenge for free. remember when Nintendo tried to delist this but reversed the decision https://buff.ly/407Obgz

3 Famicom classics. Kirby, Gradius and Wagan Land.

Also Smash Bros. on the 3 DS and 2 games that play a lot like Smash but with anime characters, JUMP Super Stars and JUMP Ultimate Stars. If you like wacky fighting games and/or 90s/2000s anime, give these a try.

Give me a single screenshot from a video games that immediately makes you hear the soundtrack in your head.

The problem with the game industry is there's too much Crytek and not enough Lafftek

Yes, please!

I’m tempted to order a copy.

If you're going to reference Akira, I want it to be so obscure that it takes 35 years for people to catch it.

Do you have any copies left?

I’m digging the new design of the Steel Legend GPUs! Looking forward to see that used on RDNA 4!

I updated the Starter Pack for people into Japanese Retro games again. I missed a few names the first time. And again, if you know anyone who you think should be added (including yourself), just let me know. This is a great way for us to find our people.

It’s a phenomenal remake. I can’t wait to play more this weekend and I’m regretting that I didn’t bring my steam deck to work. I could be playing on my lunch right now! 😆

That’s the exact monitor I’m interest in!

Looking forward to the ultrawide monitor video!

Beautiful. Its makes me wish Square-Enix would start releasing all their LE goodies with a dedicated physical game.

I’m going to enjoy DQ3 on my Steam Deck and PC.

Finding all your old Twitter follows here is very fun, like it's Final Fantasy 6 and you have to go around getting your friends back together because the old world got destroyed by a sociopath with bad jokes
