New video is up! It's a massively expanded and revised version of the first video i ever did, talking about the rival clubs of University of Tokyo Microcomputer Club and The Theoretical Science Group and how that informed games like Heiankyo Alien and the AX series. youtu.be/ZlHZoXpp0k0
Rival Clubs: How University Computer Groups influenced early 80s Japanese Arcade & Computer Gaming

Baba Yetu is so goated it makes me want to play a real Civ game. I’ll probably stick with Civ Rev though.
Finally home and starting to decompress from a great conference. Thank you to everyone who helped put it together and everyone who attended. It was great to finally meet so many familiar usernames in person and I’m feeling very reenergized to continue my work. Be on the lookout for more stuff soon!
Presentation done. Shilled my Patreon 1 (one) time, time to go hang out with Link
Just learned about Suyu (pronounced “sue you”) a derivative of Yuzu after that got taken down due to Nintendo suing, thank you @kendraserra.bsky.social
Shoutout to our board member @unabandonware.bsky.social for an awesome presentation at #SaveTheGames at the Strong Museum of Play!

Andrew Borman@borman.bsky.social · last mo.Save the Games. July 29 and 30. Rochester, NY. Worried about our all-digital future? Want to know how researchers interact with game history? What the challenges that game studios are facing? All that and more, just weeks away. www.museumofplay.org/save-the-gam...
well everyone here’s what you’ve all been waiting for: godzilla vs biollante wasn’t my favorite :/ suits looked great though. Biollante’s design is peak, I just wasn’t too enamored with the film itself
Today we have something special: a newly translated interview from July 1996 between Shigeru Miyamoto and Kenji Eno! Conducted just weeks after the launch of Mario 64, Eno takes Miyamoto to task (in a friendly way) with several fascinating critiques of its design. shmuplations.com/miyamotoxeno/

In July 1996, Kenji Eno visited Nintendo HQ to speak with Shigeru Miyamoto as the first of his "cross-talk" series.

Having recently done a lot of research and discovery around the development of the Elder Scrolls series (which I am a huge fan of) the idea that Bethesda is being gutted by Xbox makes me severely depressed.
It’s not a day that ends in Y if there isn’t some devastating games industry news!
Jason Schreier@jasonschreier.bsky.social · last mo.BREAKING: Xbox will cut 3,200 jobs as part of a major reorganization, and divest from five studios: - Compulsion and Double Fine will go indie - Ninja Theory and Undead Labs will be sold - Arkane to enter consultation process Here's the full story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
I haven’t picked up a PlayStation game in awhile (I mean cmon what even is there) but this seals it for me. PS5 is one of the consoles I genuinely regret buying.

Couldn’t tell you why but Star Fox (2026) has me in a headlock. I’ve played just about every Star Fox game but this one has gotten me to engage further than just beating the hardest route once or twice.
“Retrospective” video that’s just a plot summary + mild criticism VS “cut content/history” video that’s just a cutting room floor summary
thinkin about The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion again (pic unrelated i just thought it went hard)
Cleared space off my desk for my incoming Apple II (haven’t bought it I just know I’m going to) Trying to decide between the IIe and IIGS currently.
Janky as hell but I finally got my Smash Amiibo displayed like I’ve always wanted to. Unfortunately there’s one missing, thought I had it but I guess not (can you find the missing amiibo? I sure didn’t)
Happy 30th to the Nintendo 64! The first console I have any real memories of. Some of my favorite games are on this little 3D renderer. (Pst, don't forget I have a N64 Doc and a DK64 Doc on my channel)
Been off the net for awhile doing house stuff. Why is there any surprise the steam machine is $1,000?
wish we could go back to a time where every TV you saw had a Wiimote sensor at the top/bottom of it :/
I say this in an upcoming Patreon post but based off the vibes of the Ocarina reveal I really wouldn’t be surprised if we get a game that looks like this.
