It's an incredibly solid freeware workhorse. I use it so often that I basically just never close it.

Honestly the only task I find that it falls short at is text, but it's still usable, just requires some extra finagling if you want to do anything remotely fancy.

I don't want to imagine God's perfect twink with a hairy beer gut hanging out.. :(

High-five, paint dot net buddy!

The 2025 Special list of games

Just a reminder that earlier this year I played through and reviewed 45(?) games all starring boys with swords.
If you haven't gotten irrecoverably sick of reading about Zelda or Ys or anything similar, then consider giving this a sift.

Thanks. It's got Component input and I shoot around all the geometry problems and dot pitch degradation.. :)

Welcome back, Barley. :)

Good to see you're still ripping through games.

He's almost too cool.. They kind overloaded him with cool shit. He's Blade, he's Lone Wolf & Cub, he's a Jojo character. Damn, save some cool shit for other characters.

Worthy sacrifices to make room for B.B. Hood, imho!

Another very spooky Fighting Game Friday, featuring newcomers Hsien-Ko and Donovan.

The new characters are welcome but this entry feels rather incremental in comparison to the future Vampire Savior with its massive roster update.

Oh, it's definitely peering into your soul, judging you for your sins! Just an innate ability of void cats.

More Koudelka (PS1, 1999)

After encountering a host of indescribable Lovecraft horrors and eldritch beasts from Hell, I was delighted to meet by far the best enemy in the game, an adorable void cat.

Damn fine kitty right there.

She's turning down a free bespoke dress?? I guess I'll never understand cis women..

Not sure I'd ever be able to get over my initial reaction to those N64 Castlevania games to give them a proper look. Absolutely hated them at the time. Ended up hating them even more in retrospect when I finally played Symphony years later and saw what I was missing, not having a Playstation.

Beautiful women are in ads again.
Wokeness is so over.

Hell yeah.

I usually go a few years between SOTN playthroughs, and in that time I slowly forget that it's one of the most fun games ever made.

Then I start playing it and immediately remember that it is in fact one of the most fun games ever made.

Related, I played Red Dead Online for a month, and one time I shot a duck (for animal fat) and was standing knee-deep in a placid pond with a duck in my hand when another player, an indigenous person, possibly hacking, appeared from nowhere and killed my colonizer ass with arrows.

That was great.

Remember that part in Red Dead 2 where you come across a bunch of bumbling klansmen and are incentivized to kill them, because they're klansmen?

That was great.

I had been saving up incendiary shotgun slugs for just such an opportunity.
