literal underground retro game store BEEP must leave its venerated Akihabara basement soon

i guess the raw practical solution is enthusiast emulation where you hook up whatever flight stick and pedal doodads you can and throw a keyboard in there to cover some other functionality, but that doesn't sound great!

steel battalion/tekki is a masterpiece not specifically because of its big silly controller, but the game is unquestionably deeply tied to it. i can't really picture how to make it easier for a bunch of people to play this game in a satisfactory way but i hope it happens some day

guwange... what a game!!

genuinely hope i don't have to flip this whole panel to a big 🚨🚨🚨 THEY FUCKED UP 🚨🚨🚨 any time soon, but epic do need to fire whoever added the (disabled by default) "ai assistant" plugin before that person tanks the remaining goodwill

and since I got the Splatterhouse clear so early in the stream, I decided to revisit Fantasy Zone and clear it for the first time since like 2007

still a crazy charming game, still love that last boss fight

got the Splatterhouse 1CC :]

extremely cool game. Lots of great art and creative fights, does a lot with the very simple core mechanics

wdym i have to freshen up by playing Normal a second time? why rob me of any delighted surprise I'd have of jumping into Professional after having beaten Normal a decade prior? asinine

locked difficulty levels are always silly but a grudge I carry is that 2015 Steam port of Resident Evil 4. what do you mean you made the savedata account-encrypted!!! i just wanted to play Professional for the first time why won't you let me!!!!

If Iran killed 140+ girls in a school bombing in a million years does anyone think this wouldn’t be a front page story in NYT? Does anyone think this would be an A11 story? Does anyone think they would be so faux anal retentive about attributing responsibility for five days? Obviously not.

i'm so close

"Never forgive them for what they did to the computer." - @edzitron.com

sounds like they should release the server software then. knockout city did it!

very fun to flip thru gamest looking for spreads on whatever old ass arcade game you started playing the other day

Don't forget, if you only have a rubbish modern TV you can always buy a Framemeister to ensure your cats are fully scanlined up on Scanline Sundays & possibly other days too

ai does not exist. people are responsible for this. you are a fucking dumbass if you use ai to respond to email so this is unconscionable.

i'm not sure you could come up with a more dramatic way to dunk people's enthusiasm into the garbage than revealing your hot new segagaga fan translation was built on top of a machine translation _at the very end of the readme_ after an extended set of indulgent staff commentary

To the fella I beat thanks to coconut advantage in Dead or Alive 6 last night:

I'm sorry.
I apologize.
It will happen again.

was just having fun the other day making a fake liquor bottle label for a prop. it's nice

almost time for Splatterhouse

After fighting game community member Ludovic Mbock was arrested by ICE, his family and friends have been working non-stop to bring him home

the audio designer?

a fucked up fact about resident evil: every single "title growl" was recorded during one session in 1995. they have a thirty year old recording of Ward E. Sexton yelling "RESIDENT EVIL... NINE!" that will almost certainly not be used in the actual resident evil nine. we persist in a doomed world

Straight up disqualifying. Also a smoking gun for which freak show group chats the Newsom people run in

これは英語のミームです。ヨーダが午前1時34分に瓶から直接オリーブ37個を食べて死にそうになるのですが、2時12分にベッドから起き上がってオリーブを食べに行きます。とにかく、これが私がエヴァンゲリオンについて感じていることです。「ああ、もうシリーズも映画も何度も見たから、もう飽きた…もう1シリーズくらいなら大丈夫かも…」

OK, let's do a completely short & blind comparison between OG & Remake. Note that I just went in and started playing without changing any options.

-Crosshair has VELOCITY after you let go. *wtf Major oof*
-The time changes between homing & shooting has a noticeably longer delay than the original.

Ketsui: Kizuna Jigoku Tachi (1-All, Panzer) YouTube video by kntain

Significantly weaker score than my PB on that front, though!

FINALLY got the Ketsui 1-All as Panzer :]

This was a really tough one, lol. Found it a lot harder than DOJ 1-All. Incredible, relentless game

really good FMV production, too, especially after all these mid-90s FMV games I've played lately
