@evo.gg take notes motherfucker

i just posted my first scripted essay in six years

I just want to put this out into the universe.

If you are a homebrew developer of a GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SMS, MD/Genesis, N64, or PS1 game with a free version or a free demo of you game, I’d love to ship it with SuperStation as a physical or digital demo disk.

Ninja Gaiden 4 was one of my most anticipated games of the year and I'm not playing it in accordance with the BDS Microsoft boycott, and it turns out that actually nothing bad happens to you if you don't play a video game.

I promise this $5 game is worth your time, money, and attention: store.steampowered.com/app/2549240/...

googling how to become a consultant so sony can pay me five figure invoices to shrug my arms and tell them, "maybe ya should've held onto japan studio for a rainy day" when asked what they can do about their release slate for the back half of this decade

If you are in NYC, please vote in your mayoral election (preferably Zohran). Vote early to avoid potential voter suppression tactics.

New Yorkers you absolutely need to vote in the upcoming election- confidence for Mamdani may be high, but take nothing for granted. Show up please.

Do not be a doomer about this. Just call your New York friends and remind them to vote, and tell them to do the same. He is more popular and will win with good turnout.

after all of this, i never want to see people compare xbox's downfall to sega's ever again. sega made games and cared about their creatives. Isao Okawa gave all his money to his staff just to make sure they kept going. everything microsoft has done in the past year has proven them scum of the earth.

Maybe you could play Super Metroid, a game where the navigation is second to none, but the combat merely gets the job done. It'd be a fun contrast to Hollow Knight.

guy who wants Microsoft to release better stuff so that boycotting them actually feels meaningful

Take a look at this - this image is from the bachelor-thesis I had the joy to read and grade this week. The student tried to adapt a 32bit-aesthetic inspired by Mega Man Legends to modern workflows and I would say, the result is amazing... this person needs to be hired asap! neafyn.itch.io

i'm just saying, it is never too late to reach out to me and ask me to localize baroque for realsies

if this clip looks good to you, be sure to unsubscribe from gamepass and microsoft office and let them know that you will not be purchasing anything from microsoft until they divest from this millennium's greatest war crime, committed in broad daylight

I am demanding anyone that ever tried to throw a hadouken or kamehameha in real life repost this.

games.kikizo.com/features/ita... According to this interview, it is.

Idris Elba posing in a lying position with a suave expression and steepled fingers, with a caption saying "Wait at least 2 days before posting your opinion in public about new drama."

Another case of nes design trends being codified as the "correct" way to make a game.

Yeah that makes sense, I guess that's just another arcade lesson that's been forgotten by the masses.

Yeah, one of my favorite game dev anecdotes is that part of the reason x-men: COTA (the capcom fighter) was made is because everyone in japan disliked the x-men beat em up when it was brought over there because if was unfair and already felt outdated compared to the bmups which were popular there.

I know you generally believe arcade games should feature more randomness, but are there any shmups which you'd say are for the better for being completely static than they would otherwist?

I hope after saying this, you're the guy who ends up reviewing Tour De Pizza's new beat em up at paste magazine. They're on track to making the most based beat em up of all time based on their posts on social media.

I wish I liked light-gun shooters more. Time crisis is probably my favorite one, but it's only pretty good imo. Maybe the fact I'm playing with a mouse instead of a gun makes it worse though. I def need to revisit this genre when I get a crt.

This reminds me of that famous Trump speech where he said “no one is above the law, except for the President, Republican politicians, January 6 insurrectionists, ICE agents, Epstein clients, white supremacists, former governors convicted for corruption, reality tv stars convicted of bank fra

ud, former sheriffs convicted of bribery, the border czar that took a $50k bribe, companies and individuals that donated to his campaign, at least 90 companies that were under federal investigation but no longer are, and a former congressman who was convicted for wire fraud and identity theft”

“The Silk Road guy, Kodak Black, his family, Benjamin Netanyahu, the State attorney general, US soldiers convicted of war crimes, the proud boys, blackwater contractors, Michael Flynn, billionaires, churches, our international allies, and many many more fine people”

So many feelings! We wrote about them over on our blog: www.metanetsoftware.com/2025/celebra...
