Nothing quite gets me angrier than someone saying Num-chuks.

Megaman encouragement

Megaman is one of the reasons I love videogames so much 😄

Yup. I wish I could see the signpost that I just need to sleep sooner than when it becomes too apparent, but that's just how the body works.

No..No I just bought that last..year... OH NO....it was EIGHT?!

So fierce!

Buy an album. A single. A sticker. A small print. A game on sale. Leave a little tip. All of these help artists you love more than a week's worth of listens/views/clicks/hours played.

Just seen "Well if streaming/subscribing is bad, and pirating is also bad, what can I do?" (paraphrased) cross my eyeballs.

You can buy things. To keep. Yes, even online. Buying the cheapest thing at the lowest price is still going to put more money in an artist's pocket than any alternative.

Record of Lodoss War Eiyuu Sensou: A spirited and swift adventure Kimimi published a supporter-only post on Ko-fi!

Here's a brand new piece on Mega CD strategy RPG Record of Lodoss War. I knew it'd be good fun for fans, but I was surprised to see how hard it tried to bring something fresh to the table, and still welcome enjoyers of Shining Force-ish battles too:

Happy 40th birthday Nintendo Entertainment System! Redesigned from Nintendo’s 1983 Famicom system, the NES first hit test markets in the U.S. on October 18, 1985, with a nationwide release September 27, 1986. 🧵 1/?

My two positive comments on this game are the music (1) and the chair room (2) because I've always liked how in Symphony, you could just sit in chairs and hang out. So in this one you can sit in chairs (like Alucard)

Tomonobu Itagaki (from his final Facebook post)

according to a notice on his Facebook page, Tomonobu Itagaki has passed away at the age of 58. No details were shared, but the statement expressed his misgivings about “failing to produce a new game for the fans”

FPSing in 48k: The Dark Redux on ZX Spectrum.

First created in 1997 by Oleg Origin for Russian ZX Speccy clones, it was revived two decades later and polished up.

It's limited in terms of weapons and enemies, but it's genuine free-roaming FPS action on 1982 hardware.

Quantic...Dream??!

Dead or Alive was one of those games that stuck with me for so long. Yea the characters were pretty and the game had a focus on sexiness, but the counter-hold system is what kept me engaged for so long. And Jann Lee was the best Bruce Lee-alike character in fighting games.

God that's actually realy cool.

I just had to address this in my Discord so I'll put it here too just so you know where I stand on these sorts of things.

Legend of Grimrock is so good. I finally knuckled down and went through it completely a couple of years ago. And it's an incredibly polished experience. I love the way spellcasting felt really tense under while under attack.

Legend of Grimrock: From old fans to new ones, with love Naked, defenceless, and cast into the dark—Legend of Grimrock’s opening certainly does a great job of echoing the sheer terror of 1989’s Chaos Strikes Back. My equipment is whatever I h…

Haha,it truly is better that way. I wish I could have unwatched that movie last night. I think the last time I saw I was a single digit age, but now that I'm 43, it all looks so miserable.

So it's a movie about misery, cute robots, nothing happening, a cute robot takes an axe to the face, a simple guy tries to kidnap and keep a cute robot baby, no real conclusion and honestly no real plot. How did Spielberg get away with this? Lol.

The "humor" is just bad situations that show how desperate the characters are. And nothing really changes. The cute robots fix up the apartment building, but the land and buildings are still destroyed around it. Then they still have to live in a dump while there's no reason for the demo to stop.

The characters are all mostly miserable all the time. One old lady with dementia and her husband. A single pregnant woman with a deadbeat boyfriend. An artist who destroys his own works. A ex boxer who doesn't talk and has the personality of a ferret.

Sometimes...

Sometimes an old movie that was cool to watch as a kid just ssssuuuuuucks now.

My wife and I were coaxed into watching "Batteries not Included." A movie I had watched as a kid with my mom and dad and thought it was cool because it had cute flying robots in it.

It's miserable now.
