Jessica Lunacy 🏳️‍🌈

Tonight on Retro Lunacy 2019:

An interview with @zachhighwind.bsky.social !

Then I continue to make fun of fascists and capitalists, get chided by my own Game Gear, then race to the defense of the good timeline's Earth by playing Space Invaders on SEGA Saturn.

Be there!

At 9pm EST.

@segasaturnshiro.bsky.social @pandamonium.bsky.social do we know what happened to the giant SEGA Saturn and controller prop from the Segata Sanshiro commercials?

You know where big tiddy goth girls are? Plz to tell me :3

When you get to the point you are on Youtube, do the notifications and such become a lot to manage?

Since American Thanksgiving no longer means anything to me (I doubt I'll see any of my family), and because I want to rebel against the fat white ass of Santa and the consumer culture frenzy in his wake, I'm doing Second Halloween. Who's with me?

I feel the same way about the boutique collector's market on Switch and to a lesser extent the PlayStations. There are some games you look up on ebay and literally all of the results are sealed copies people are trying to flip. There's no point in physical releases that don't get used.

An alternative thumbnail that almost got used for the Castle of Illusion video. It was fun to be a witch for a night ;)

😊thank you, I giggled at that one myself, plus the site gag with the cartridge triggering the start menu.😄 It's nothing if not an honest take awaiting you later.

Yeah and I am tired of fussing with apps, even those that are supposed to be primarily for LGBT folk. I guess this is how the path to crazy cat lady starts. :P

My review of Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is published:

I can't remember who made the joke about trans folk taking over Pennsylvania, and naturally then renaming it Transylvania (it is funny). I was thinking about that today and how much easier it would make it to find a date; cis folk have just been a big ol' disappointment in that area this year.

One of the most hilariously fun games I've ever played.

My next SEGA Genesis conquest for the channel will be Ecco the Dolphin. I hope to join Ed Annunziata's list of peeps who have completed it the old school way.

Mickey Mouse and I return to one of my childhood rentals on Halloween, Castle of Illusion!

Am playing this one for Halloween. :)

The latest Xbox Game Pass commercial is a hilariously inept attempt to cast shade on retro gaming:

1. Cartridges have lasted longer and are more reliable than most Xbox hardware
2. Blowing on carts is not how you fix them (don't do it)
3. Playing on a PC in the kitchen? I guess if you hate yourself

Basic meme generators are retro now.

Objection, Birdman!

Tonight on Retro Lunacy 2019:

I play Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law on Nintendo Wii, make fun of Limited Run and Ebay, and continue the explorative time capsule of classic media. Be amazed at the show, where the jokes are old, and so am I!

Airing at 9pm EST!

YouTube video by Jessica's Retro Lunacy! Bonus Episode: OutRun 2019 Revisited, on Hard (SEGA Genesis)

This is like the OutRun 2019 episode I did last year, but on hard mode and with a better angle of my cleavage. Yeah, you're welcome.

Pale uber-nerd dressed in a 23rd century science uniform from the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701

I did take a few photos before filming my Star Trek episode. I will do more in this costume again. Not quite visible in this picture but I did have Trill spots and no they did not stop on my face. ;) I'll try to remember to share others like this, but more will go up on Patreon.

*I'm not going to,* however, it is exceedingly difficult to not give up altogether on sharing my creative work and attempting to build a niche audience. Capitalist upbringing tells me that every project I've ever done has failed, and it's hard to deprogram from that way of thinking.

For those who missed it over the weekend: Activate Vector Disco!

Be prepared for some serious Blast Processing, as this weekend on my channel I'm featuring VectorMan 2 in full 16-bit disco glory. :) Goes live at 9pm EST on SEGA Saturday.

Make #bringbackvectorman trending. @sega-west.bsky.social New Era, New Energy needs some Vector disco!

Spin to win, baby. That's you, a winner, if you watch my channel.

Also cute thumbnail for the lesbians out there, I know you still exist.

I hadn't planned to "quit" Twitch exactly, but I must admit that even if I wasn't physically removing the ability to stream, I will never understand that place or the culture. Like most places, I never fit in there. I'm sorry to those who subscribed to my streams, I never saw a cent of it, sadly.

As one of my fellow creators on Youtube once said, "don't tell people you're quitting." As in, no need for drama, if you're leaving a place, just leave. Well, that's I guess the story for me and Twitch. I'm finally disconnecting my home from the internet tomorrow, so that is the end of live streams.

Our future, it may very well come to a point like that in the world of Cyberpunk 2077, where there are two "Nets," one old and overrun by AI and malicious data/code, and the new one that exists in protected isolation for the human beings.

While there's still time, I think it would behoove us to create as many archives/libraries, et cetera as possible that are not connected to the internet and have not been touched by generative AI. *I would like to be wrong,* but I suspect if things continue as they are we will need those libraries.
