ICYMI I wrote about how terrible it is that Marvel Studios is failing projects with Black leads like Wonder Man and Blade, and sidelining other characters of color, for a @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social post. www.dcgameblog.com/2026/08/cogn...

ICYMI I wrote about how Sony's first comments about ending support for physical PlayStation 5 games since announcing their plans, and where they commented, were very revealing for a @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social post. www.dcgameblog.com/2026/08/exam...

ICYMI I posted my thoughts on the new Mortal Kombat II film on @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social, an entertaining movie that improves upon its predecessor's flaws in some ways, but is still lacking in others. www.dcgameblog.com/2026/07/figh...
Fighting Games Friday: Mortal Kombat II — Beyond Annihilation – Damage Control Blog
No, not that Mortal Kombat II. Not that one either. But it's in the middle of those, quality-wise.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is unsurprisingly very old school in its approach, with very little story and a quick pace. But the quality of life improvements are neat, including maps and other transparency. I'm betting that I'll appreciate those more as I progress further through the game.

This giant snake boss in Beyond Oasis is definitely not, nor was it inspired by a Xenomorph. youtube.com/shorts/s... #VideoGames #RetroGames #Genesis #BeyondOasis

Zach Bussey 🍁@zachbussey.tos.gg · 5d agoTwitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.
