hella lols on how it took outrage from overpriced gaming hardware to finally make y’all realize about this sam altman guy you know, because retinal ID scans being test run in developing countries and undiced wafer hoarding to slowly squeeze out consumer markets just wasn’t newsworthy enough

TIL that one hella oldschool chibi-avatar Gaia Online SNS service was produced in my hometown, and that the lead guy also previously made that one MS-DOS SFII clone "SF2LIU" hack… that my older brother got from swapping floppies with his friends. i'm treating this as a local AzN PrYdE success story

The Tale of SFLIU

It was the summer of 1992, I graduated from high school and stuck a job working in a computer store as sales/technician. My pal Brian would visit often, biking for miles each way to reach the store. (Boy we had energy back then) and I would slip some time out of work to find various ways for being unproductive an hour or two at a time, playing computer games and what not. ^_^;

One day, we were trying out this "new" SF2IBM (v1.9) game when Brian talked me into editing this game. Basically SF2IBM is a home made Street Fighter 2 clone featuring absolutely no gameplay resemblence to the real thing because of a lack of gameplay programming. The way the game's data is constructed allowed easy adjustments to gameplay and animation sequencing, plus other gameplay related attributes. A number of people on the net had then altered the game to introduce wacky moves much similar to the hacked version of the SF2 Champion Edition arcade games, though the fundamentals remained absent: jumps would last for only a fraction of a second, roundhouse kicks would have no range and has the same recovery time as a jab, basically every single aspect of what the original game was about were not there. With an immense amount of free time to spare/waste, I decided to take on the task in making this game resemble the original Street Fighter 2.

At first there wasn't the idea in mimicking the original game. I just spent a few hours making my version of wacky moves, like a special move that will automatically throw in multiple hits plus a Dragon Punch. Though the "pretty cool, huh?" aspect didn't last for long and it certainly didn't impress Brian. Then, for whatever reason, I found myself putting in 10 hour days in this crazy project of putting together a real SF2 clone.

spent a bit of time digging thru & manually converting a shitload of old MED demos & song collection disks my dad bought for me that i had the fortunate foresight at the time to properly archive before i moved overseas😗🎶

i guess the alex van starrex stuff are lost media at this point? i loved his "Art of MED" and "MED-Show" disk albums, and the ADFs don't seem to be available online...

😽 "♫and solitaire's the only game in town♫" 🤨 "WHAT." 😸 "… what!? it's a neil sedaka song mom had. it's one of my childhood tunes!" 😮‍💨 "Chibi. About those lyrics…" 😾 "uh yeah? 'there was a man, a lonely man'. and 'he's playing solitaire'." 😂 "You know the term 'Playing Solitaire', right?" … 🙀 "OHH"

*gets in apartment elevator, neighbor who works as a concafe hostess rushes in* 👩 “Oh! Good evening! Your outfit is very cute by the way!” 😸 “ah, thanks!” 👩 “You know, I was wondering… what’s your work? Owning a sports car in Akiba must be expensive.” 🙀💭 (aww shit… do i reveal my superpowers?) […]

the EP that managed to not only be called at that time the “best chiptune ever made” (imho debatable, kyunstep does also exist), but the words within also so moving enough that it managed to cancel dafuq outta a buncha shitty creeps in that scene. gotta say that was quite a philanthropic moment 😌💅✨

If you ever wanted a weird insight into my tastes in chiptune music, while I love plenty of albums, I think the one I keep going back to and jamming out too is @chibitech.bsky.social Crema Binaria. chibitech.bandcamp.com/album/crema-...
