i love that 90s sega of america thought of cutting this entire level from game gear ristar because "a survey showed children had difficulty understanding the concept of walking on clouds and rainbows"

any tgm you can play is the best game you'll ever play, and the second game, The Absolute, is perhaps their peak. check out my review in the link below
pretty sick thrift pickup on my lunch break. it's even the very specific model that doesn't scratch the shit out of discs! just needed a quick touchup on a cold solder joint by the power socket and a real good cleaning
supposedly the website hit 100,000 views yesterday the counter can't differentiate bots / crawlers from humans so it doesn't really mean much, but if you're actively choosing to read the stuff i put out, thanks. it really does means a lot
"oh sure i can fix some broken n64s for this guy i know, how hard could it be"
live out your #RandomGameSaturday fantasties in mercenary force, by being able to hire a team of 4 women to save medieval japan from being a schmup! until you realize you need better team composition because your 4 women can't shoot forward
spent a few hours this afternoon installing a backlight + bivert chip in a game boy, very happy i didn't break anything while tearing the original polarizer off the LCD, that shit is terrifying in the moment! for ~$20, it's quite the looker, too
we surveyed 100 gamers... what's an appropriate game to post for #RandomGameSaturday? FAMISHED LATELY TRY FLAVORED GOURDS
a proclamation for all gamers: you cannot say a video game is bad until you beat one loop of challenger (1985) on default difficulty without savestates or rewinding and also say three nice things about the experience
25-30 years is a lot of time for someone to change their opinion on "i do / don't want to do [x]", so it's only a bit surprising to read 1996 miyamoto saying no to filmmaking that and "video production" would be crucial to the business in the 21st century, just not in how he thought of it back then
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/

happy nonbinary day n stuff. i feel like i still have lots of this gender thing to work out that has a low priority on my massive list of (mostly tangible) stuff i need to work on although i guess i am glad that i've accepted the label cause it took me a while. i suppose i can feel pride in that
Tapping the sign again. Start your playthough on August 1st for a magical experience!
If you haven't yet played the Boku no Natsuyasumi 2 English patch, consider starting your playthrough on August 1st. I recommend playing an in-game day every day so your playthrough syncs up with the real calendar. You won't regret it. Link to the patch here: www.patreon.com/posts/boku-n...
yard sarding and thrift shrifting today, $60 for everything! the consoles were sold "not working" but they work for me? yay? y'allre pondering the definition of your favorite five-letter word, i'm over here wondering "why would someone have four colecovision controllers but no colecovision..."
"how were people writing 10 page papers before AI???" we were smarter than you. you could've been smart, too. but you sold your brain for nothing
my inside sources have confirmed to me that today is, in fact, #RandomGameSaturday here's another manga fighting game that i put enough time into to unlock everything despite not reading / watching anything else in the series (see: jojo heritage for the future) now i just want to play hftf lmao
