@lgr-yt.bsky.social hey Clint, I jumped on that 'best way to watch Odyssey' meme and set it up so you can watch the trailer via telnet. Thought you might get a kick out of this
Tuesday Blerb! youtu.be/lzvCyFdDHFE Hallmark makes these Keepsake video game console ornaments each year, and for 2026 they've got the original PlayStation. It plays the iconic startup sound when you power it on, which pleases me.
This PlayStation Ornament plays the Startup Sound!

Imagine collecting games and lusting after "Stadium Events" when stuff like this exists and can still be found in thrift stores archive.org/details/craz...
Reposting for visibility! Not exactly my thing but I’m sure someone’s interested
Justin@oryschakj.bsky.social · 2d ago@lgr-yt.bsky.social Would you or anyone you know be interested in Amiga video production/midi adapters? These are just taking up space and don’t seem to move very often on eBay
LGR talking about DVD extras is extremely my shit That's my dinner viewing sorted

Had a great time meeting you both yesterday and today, also thanks for signing my 8600 GTS. Appreciate all that you do and keep up the amazing work man, both you and your brother Luke!
Hey anyone coming to Southeast Game Exchange this weekend have a spare VGA CRT I can borrow? Or even an LCD monitor with VGA… mine just gave up the ghost! 😩
New LGR Oddware on a rather touchy subject! youtu.be/nQXltwj6kzU The Keytec Magic Touch is a nifty panel from 1994 that clamps onto the front of a CRT monitor and turns it into a touchscreen via the serial port. Provided you have the right display size and compatible 90s OS, of course. Neat!

We (specifically, our talented composer Myrgharok) went the extra mile and made all the newly added music in BioMenace Remastered 100% AdLib/OPL2 compatible. It's all in IMF format just like the original music. So you can absolutely play it on an era-appropriate vintage machine, like in this video!

Reminder that I'll be at Southeast Game Exchange this coming weekend! It's a massive show that's well worth your time www.southeastgameexchange.com/things-to-do
Gotta nip this in the bud: These games are not unaccounted for. The ICS's collections were owned by the Computerspielemuseum and the USK ratings board. They still own them. This museum project is on the cusp of shutting down, but the games themselves are not going to a dumpster

This studio holds some of the most veteran FPS developers in the history of the industry. The folks who know the most about engine optimization, too. Livelihoods ruined for no goddamn reason and the damage from these layoffs will be felt for years.
Agent Strange@agentstrange.bsky.social · last mo.Sounds like half of id Software is getting let go. 95 out of 180-200 people. Great thing to do the day before their new expansion for Doom: The Dark Ages comes out /s
The single biggest story in video games this month, prompting widespread concern across the community, and the ESA has no comment. Thank you @duckvalentine.bsky.social for holding them accountable for their total failure on this issue
Kotaku@kotaku.com · last mo.Sony is putting an end to physical PlayStation games, and perhaps unsurprisingly, the ESA doesn't really have anything to say about it. https://kotaku.com/video-game-industry-esa-digital-ownership-2000712263
Statement from VGHF director Frank Cifaldi on the discontinuation of physical PlayStation media, and the closure of the PS3 and PSP digital storefronts.
Thrifted JVC Videosphere? Including the flip clock addon?? YEP Been wanting one for many years. It was labeled as “tested but not working” yet all it needed was a little DeOxit on the power knob 🧑🚀
The Duke Nukem Zero Hour intro is such a fun memory "Who the hell are you, my evil twin?" "I'm you, genius, only back in time"
LGR@lgr-yt.bsky.social · last mo.The Nintendo 64 is now 30 YEARS OLD! High time for an LGR retrospective: youtu.be/BLf1_dWtluI When I started LGR, the NES wasn't even 30 yet... covering the N64 in 2026 is like covering the Intellivision in 2009 😩 Anyway let's unbox this one, ogle that SGI silicon inside, and play some dang games!
Ahh finally! SteamOS 3.8 installed perfectly and works great on this AMD HX 370 mini PC. Looking forward to eventual Nvidia support.
I made memory from scratch and I may have gone a bit overboard. Ok 64 bits overboard… Enjoy the new video! youtu.be/IOtf85sHRlg
