sorry for the wait.

as frustrated as i've been with the editing process on this one, it speaks volumes that rewatching some of these scenes and listening to the music again effortlessly stirred up those same powerful emotions i felt while playing boku no natsuyasumi 2.

please enjoy.

i group spikeout in the same genre as tribes 1 as games too pure and miraculously strung together for a public that barely cared (though at least SpikeOut does have a lot of JP runners even still). So close to 1CCing DBO...

they don't make em like this anymore...

SpikeOut looks so hot at 800x600 on a tube

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.

Luke’s a great friend and a greater person, and even a little bit of help would go a long way. Really hope he recovers from this accident as smooth as possible 🙏

Yesterday my friends and I got in a terrible life-threatening car accident. While we walked away with no bodily injuries, my car is totaled. As a Behavioral Technician that travels between counties for work, reliable transportation is needed. Any donations or shares are appreciated ❤️

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.

Baseball is a godless sport

in light of the ridiculous refusal by microsoft to denounce the use of imagery from halo in ICE recruitment advertising, I'm uploading this slidedeck from my OOP/software systems class from last fall that gives a primer on Linux, its history, main distributions, and how to navigate the command line

you really don't have to buy the new halo game

Mitch Johnson to the Spurs after Castle goes 50% from the line.

Last run I had to use a continue about midway through stage 4, I still suck against Mikhail but once I iron that out it might be time to start grinding 🙏

SpikeOut bros, 1CC may no longer be a dream…

Hakeem this is all your fault

Not even finished with the first quarter of opening night for the season and Draymond gets hit with a technical. Hoops are so back

very, very charitably, i will assume that the people who refused to cover it because of BDS are difficult to count because you can't easily draw conclusions from lack of evidence and those who actually wrote a review don't want a lightning rod for life-altering harassment, but this is disappointing

Man watching Naroditsky’s commentaries on the blitz and bullet championships during the pandemic is half the reason I came back to chess few years back. Genuinely one of the best educators and spokesmen for the game. RIP Danya

I’ve been repeatedly skill-issued by SpikeOut, but even if my runs barely scratch 30 minutes it’s still like some of the most fun I’ve ever had with a 3D action game/bmup.

“Japanese jazz is better than regular jazz”

“Nujabes invented lo-fi hip-hop”

Are the greatest examples of why most weebs should be banned from talking about music

Trinity Alps Nighttime

didn't know if I'd ever return to this game but I've come away with a new appreciation for it as a jaw-dropping technical feat in the early days of ps2 and a fascinating combat system pre-DMC. link below!

Not spoken like a true SNES-head about remasters, tsk tsk (imo the remaster makes a few pretty haphazard changes to the fundamentals that make it feel a bit sloppy in comparison).

Have you played Wild Guns

The most accurate recreation of DS9 I've seen.

This is like those Unity projects people made of Liberty island back in like the early 2010s but somehow even those look better

I’ve seen fan mods look better than that Deus Ex remaster. Hwat a shame…

Not even just discoursing habits, if you’ve read any novel written in the 19th-20th century where the author was paid by the word, you’ll almost necessarily have run into the decision between versions of a novel with digressions vs abridged novels, and all the fuss surrounding that.

very annoying to spend years trying to convince people to stop saying shit like 'the game sucks because it's on Unity' because game engines don't work that way and then every single Unreal Engine 5 Game is actually exactly like that
