Ultraman is not a great game, but it spawned a lifelong love of kaiju for me. Always happy to see it in someone's collection!

The new season of Euphoria looks positively fucked
I'm going to miss Norman's work. I wish him all the best!
I had a mounted light similar to this one back in the day. We take for granted portable devices with good screens that actually fit in your pocket. My fully-equipped Game Boy was a heckin' chonker.
Why doomscroll when you can just play Doom?
Interesting choice to use Chun-Li's level from Street Fighter Alpha as her BG, but it's always a good day to see C64 fans get a new game!
A print ad for "Prinapen 500™", a handheld inkjet printer from the year 1990. The largest photo in ad is one of a hand holding the printer, and etching the name of the product onto a shapely, moody lit, pair of buttocks.
We went wrong as a society the minute we abandoned the idea of ass printers.
It's been so cool watching what James can do with the N64. Looking forward to trying this out!
It's a good day to get "Wo Ai Beijing Tiananmen" stuck in my head again.
There were some absolute bangers put out by Konami to the Wii Shop. If you can get ahold of Castlevania: The Adventure Rebirth, do it!
The insistence on making players finish all the story content to date to be current with the player base is also rough. FFXI actually had this right, where story expansions could be completed mostly independent of each other. I hope they consider this approach in the future.
I've successfully moved three machines in my house over to various flavors of Linux. I think I might make the jump soon with my primary desktop...

A new static recompiler translates original Game Boy Z80 assembly directly into C code, letting games run natively on modern operating systems.

TIL there's a PC9821 version of the Kyrandia II OST arranged by Takeshi Abo (Steins;Gate, Ever17, etc) xeenmusic.bandcamp.com/album/legend...
Every time I visit Waffle House.
Reminds me of how end users would complain to emudevs when their unsupported, purposely out-of-date RetroArch cores didn't behave as expected.
Is it just the perspective or is this Steam Deck just loooooooooooong?
Today I learned!
I was hacking on the 1995 Windows 3.1 Jeopardy! game and I really like this guy's elaborate "thinking" animation.

Today's #vgm of the day comes to us from the SNES version of AD&D: Eye of the Beholder, titled Danger Lurks Ahead. The title theme was written by Paul Mudra, but all the other port's music comes to us courtesy of Tatsuya Nishimura.
And as a bonus, here is the 8-bit rendition if you play the game Classic style!
Today's #vgm of the day comes to us from The Dark Spire, a Nintendo DS dungeon crawler inspired by the classic Wizardry. This is the battle theme, composed by Kenichi Arakawa.
Pardon my absence! In today's #vgm of the day, we take you back to the classic Final Fantasy VI with Nobuo Uematsu's rousing theme for Edgar and Sabin. Sorry @sinndra.bsky.social, but not sorry!
#FF14 Stream is LIVE!
Day 4 of the ONE HAND ONLY #DeepDungeon!
