Personally I think when a world leader announces “Tune in tonight at 8pm Eastern to watch the world end” like it’s the fucking season premiere of Roseanne we should have a different leader the next day.
In this humorous Mega Man Legends interview from 2/98, Keiji Inafune shares the inspiration behind Tron's design, the challenges of finding the right difficulty, and other mecha-centric anecdotes. shmuplations.com/rockmandash/
These interviews were both really great! Will you also be translating the Virtual On one they mentioned? (Since the topic was drills they must have been talking about Dordray, my favorite!)
It's time for another fun installment of Saturday Shmuplations, where we look back at important moments in gaming history through primary source interviews in our archive. Today we focus on Castlevania and Shining Force!
ending credits screen for the mobile game Million Onion Hotel. "Thank you very much for playing! Love & Peace! Yeah!"
finally completed Million Onion Hotel 100%!! Thank you for relisting it @oniongames.bsky.social, I had a lot of fun revisiting it and finally getting the true ending
Very much not a mobile gamer but this is one I can absolutely recommend.
Flippin thru a big stack of old furry comics i bought and this got my ass good
It's cool someone is doing this but I'm mainly just glad to see someone explain how to get this to run on an emulator at all. (I played through the first bit of the game so many times trying to get it to stop crashing!)
alien soldier is my favorite game cause you can tell it was made by a guy who wanted to fuck the megadrive
Big plastic wrapped pallet of comics
😎 now... Now we begin the arduous process of mailing these out.
This seems like a maliciously put headline to make people feel a certain way.
Wikipedia is not partaking in generative AI. They are making AI companies and scrappers having to pay for training their modules off wikipedia texts. And having an AI (not that ai) tasked with updating dead links.
I've only been able to do it that way, too. Sometimes I have a really hard time telling what the thing is, I imagine if I were doing it "correctly" it would be more apparent? But maybe not, ha ha
Yeah you'd need to do the opposite, looking "through" it, like what you're supposed to do for those 3D magic eye images. I've never been able to do it :/
aww yeah time to get crosseyed
We're almost done animating this and it should be out real soon!! Please keep an eye out for it, I think people are going to enjoy this one, it's one of our best. #IndieAnimationDay
A beautiful woman ignores the pleas of a young man who wants a PS2 because it has lots of games he wants to play and can play DVDs
Dekin no Mogura. I hadn't heard of it but there's an official translation on Kmanga and even an anime. No idea what chapter it's in though! When I found that page the one before it was there too, where the main character fails to convince her to get a PS2:
It happened again!
Japan loves Sega consoles now more than it did when they were new
Curiously, the Japanese version does not call it a retro console, it seems to just say it existed, so readers know it wasn't made up. She wants to play Seaman (it also explains that was a real game, too)
This is where I think there's parallels to the '83 crash. E.T. performed reasonably fine, but Atari invested so much into it that anything other than the biggest game ever would be a failure by *their* metrics! That's not the game's problem, that's management's problem
Some people walk or bike to work, but I always take my
If you want to hear a compelling story of a resilient animation studio in a small town and some harsh truths about why Canada's animation industry may not be as self-sufficient as it should be and why we may not be supporting it in the best way, do yourself a favour and give this episode a listen!
Here comes the flower warrior
why yes, I HAVE been listening to Chaotix Case Files
Rude Dog, a 90s clothing mascot. The color palette is incredibly obnoxious bright yellows, blues, greens and fuchsias. The dog is on a chain and sits, drooling and surrounded by bones.

Bob Sparker stickers. Two electric game show hosts with their arms intertwined, holding mics and jumper cables.

Whenever I see a venture capitalist group buying up an artistic platform or a website or a newspaper and picking it apart, I'm reminded of a Stephen King quote from a documentary about him possibly making a "better investment" than buying a radio station:
LOVISH is out in 2 days! Let's do a short AMA! Anyone got any burning questions? #indie #gamedev #love
What is the secret to making a ton of single screen levels xD
It's so good! I seem to be predisposed to manga about manga but Kurumizawa is on another level, haha
I have started turning off notifications increasingly early in the evening specifically because of this kind of thing D:
Thanks for the reminder! (Sure enough, I did need one, haha)
