A never-before seen variant of Mario Bros / Duck Hunt, produced after the last known run, with such pristine preservation 😱 What a find!
We discovered a new variant of Super Mario Bros.
Inside, were 97 individually wrapped, brand-new copies of Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt. Each game was wrapped in the same baggie that would have come in an

Unpopular opinion, but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the the nub mouse pointer. I wish I could get them in my desktop keyboards! Being able to make mouse movements/clicks by barely moving my hands off of home row is amazing for speed. Poor precision, but great for a quick click between typing
They took away the Thinkpad clit 💔

When I was 10, this box art on the Blockbuster shelf was the COOLEST THING I had ever seen. Was never a big sports/baseball video game fan, but the upgrades you could buy for your robots were interesting!

Never tried Giga Wing, just did. I like the reflection, you HOLD the fire button to reflect, so there's small delay between when you decide to use it and becoming invulnerable. Thankfully most of the enemy bullets are relatively slow, so there's a bit of planning in deciding when to use it. Neat!
Giga Wing was ported to Dreamcast 26 years ago! (7/19/00) This seminal Shooting-Game by Capcom started life on CPSII, and features one of the earliest instances of Bullet-Reflection in a SHMUP! The scoring-mechanics are quite insane, and figures can reach the *TRILLIONS* - A must for any SHMUPper!!
I own and run VGMaps.com: The Video Game Atlas mostly by myself for over 24 years, and it's amassed over 50,000 maps for over 3500 video games across almost 60 different platforms. Yet, I always feel like many gamers don't even know what it is. Do you use VGMaps?
One of the reasons One Deck Dungeon holds a special place for me, my name is in the credits twice - once as an original 2017 Kickstarter backer, and now as a Programmer 😁 Relics Of The Forge expansion comes out in two days! store.steampowered.com/app/4336620/...
Heaving a very weary sigh— NEW: I spoke to those impacted by layoffs within XBOX's accessibility teams to try and understand the scale of those cuts and what they mean for accessibility going forward. It's all pretty bleak, but there *are* tiny shreds of hope.
Accessibility teams hit hard in XBOX’s “reset”
Among 1600 jobs cut by Microsoft this week, the axe has fallen heavily on XBOX's accessibility teams.

Sorry how did I just learn today that 1. There was a PS1 Lemmings platformer called The Adventures of Lomax 2. The art freakin rules (Image via playstationpark.tumblr.com)
Honestly it's a miracle that this is all they can find on him There's so many leftists with genuine skeletons in their closets that are, you know, Trying To Do Better and this tactic would work on them and then there's Teen Mamdani out there posting politely on film boards 😭
From Josie Stratman (NY Daily News): “Mayor Mamdani on his "Talk with the Mayor" twitch stream reveals an old username: airnova2112 (after Mars 2112) Apparently a 15-year-old Mamdani used the username to come to the defense of his director mom, Mira Nair, from haters on online film chat boards”

Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.
My new video for @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social is out now! I dig into press and marketing coverage leading up to the launch of EarthBound, and explore what came between this now legendary game and commercial success. youtu.be/M69F6Vj_DME
Why Didn't EarthBound Sell in The United States?

There are only two types of commit messages I write. There is no in-between.
If this is your first June out of the closet and you’re nervous about attending a Pride festival, FEAR NOT! 🌈 I made these mistakes in 2021 so you don’t have to. 😅 My awkwardness is at your service. 🫡 #pridemonth #pridefestival #queerbooks
So many amusing little touches in Mina the Hollower, like the orphanage has "Kid" and "Urchin", who are literally a baby goat and a sea urchin :D
Johnny Tightlips is one of the most underrated minor characters across media history, and I will not be taking questions at this time.
