I posted on @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social about how important Yoshihisa Kishimoto, the creator of the Double Dragon and Kunio-kun franchises, was for the side-scrolling brawler genre in the early days, and my childhood. www.dcgameblog.com/2026/04/cogn...

The Double Dragon series (and Kunio-kun, to a lesser extent) creator meant a lot for the early brawler genre, people like me.
Happy 20th, #Okami! Here is a repost of some of my Okami-related works.
Hakuna Matata means no worries, right???
The Lion King (SNES, Westwood Studios, 1994)
The stream is over! We made some good progress in Look Outside, including have a great time with Fred. So many Freds. We'll be back next Sunday with more of the game. For now we raided @dehler55.bsky.social who's playing Metal Gear Solid 2.

Game cover art from Look Outside. A man named Sam opens the curtians in a dark room. Unsettling light shines through the window, but he looks away from the window, over his shoulder with a mix of surprise and horror. Surrounding him are all kinds of creepy, horrific monsters with eyeballs, too many teeth, and tentacles. The text at the top of the screenshot says "Now Live! DCGameblog dot com slash live"
It's time to Look Outside. Surely this game title wouldn't lie to us?

ICYMI The VOD from last night's SteamWorld Heist II livestream is now up on Damage Control Blog I had a productive night of redoing older missions to get my bounty rankings higher, and collecting glow rods. I also met two legendary characters!
Look Outside told us to look outside. So we did. Fastest game over ever!

The stream is over! We made a ton of good progress in SteamWorld Heist II. We got all the glow rods save for one in East Carriba. We also improved our bounty ranking in some older missions. We raided @virtuoushobbes.bsky.social who's playing Broforce.

Cover art for SteamWorld Heist II. Features the Steambots Captain Leeway in the center, Wesley to his left, and Daisy to his right. Both Wesley and Daisy both have guns, while Captain Leeway doesn't fight because he only has one arm. The text at the top of the screenshot says "Now Live! DCGameblog dot com slash Live"
It's time for a Slow Burn Saturday! Tonight we take Captain Leeway and set sail on The Shard in SteamWorld Heist II. There's antics to get into and a bigger mystery to solve! Come hang out!

I got a few episodes of Beastars in last night. But I ended up spending today hanging out in @mkmk.bsky.social's livestream, watching him draw a very dapper Leafeon. It was nice and relaxing. I have to stream SteamWorld Heist II in a bit, so that's something planned at least.
The weekly livestreaming schedule for Damage Control Blog from April 18 through the 24th. Saturday April 18th - SteamWorld Heist II at 7pm ET/6pm CT. Sunday April 19th - Look Outside at 8pm ET/7pm CT.
The weekend is here! What do you plan to play or watch?
We have a double RPG stream this weekend.
Offline we're watching Re:Zero, Beastars, and maybe starting the new season of The Boys. We're playing Marvel Rivals and Final Fantasy XIV.

PSA for those who have switched over from Windows to Linux for gaming (via Steam):
As you may know, each game running via Proton is given its own prefix, simulating locations like Documents / Appdata to house saves + configs.
That prefix, and all its files, is deleted ENTIRELY upon game uninstall.
We're back to Saturday night streams for Slow Burn Saturday. We have a kraken to hunt in SteamWorld Heist II.
ICYMI I wrote about how the cheekily-named "incest patch" for Alex in Street Fighter 6 changed next to nothing, and commented on the new live-action Street Fighter movie trailer, for a @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social post. www.dcgameblog.com/2026/04/figh...
AGAINST ALL ODDS, THOSE WHO BELIEVED BLUESKY THAT THE CRASH WAS DUE TO A DDOS
AND THOSE WHO DIDN'T BELIEVE BLUESKY AND WERE SURE IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE AI VIBE CODING
WERE
BOTH
RIGHT

Re:Zero is even better than I was expecting, after hearing about it being one of the “good” isekai adaptations. I was intrigued enough from the first episode (from the Director’s Cut version), but it gets really wild about a quarter of the way through.
Dopples Presents: A Look At The Sims 2 (PSP)
So, uh. It's been a while!
Let's play The Sims 2 for the Sony™️Playstation™️Portable™️! Trust me, it's not what you think it is.

Let's play Treasure of the Rudras for a couple hours here. I'm feeling pretty energetic, this might be a double-stream night even if the second stream is just a couple hours of wishlist-cleaning. That said, my headphones ARE reporting "battery: medium"...

ICYMI I wrote about Maneater for Damage Control Blog's Quarantine Control. It was an enjoyable game. Geoff B went for a blast to the past and wrote about Heat Guy J. CWTyger shared the short film, Rarg. Check us out!
