Famed fighting game stick company Hori was advertising like this in U.S. magazines back in 1995. (Did they pick a small kid so the joysticks looked huuuuuge?)

Flash was everywhere. Now it's gone. Sound familiar?

Flash is just part of the story of VANISHING CULTURE, a new book exploring the fight to preserve our fragile digital history. 📖

Watched the #SuperMarioGalaxy movie and I didn't like it. Unlike the first film, it's seriously lacking in humour and any form of stakes to keep me entertained.

Videogame fan service alone is not enough to carry an entire movie — it's the same problem Warcraft had (and I disliked it even more).

[DW] #GirlsFrontline2 platoon advertisement: Consider joining The Exiles, we're a Top 3% platoon made up of Project #NeuralCloud fans (hence we named ourselves "The Exiles" from #PNC).

Looking for active players and all we ask is that you do your daily patrols and 2x Gunsmoke hits whenever you can.

Shipping Fee Optimization & Adjustment Notice Dear Commanders, Over the past few weeks, we've been closely monitoring your feedback regarding shipping costs on GFL Store. We hear you loud and clear—and after a thorough review of our shipping rate...

Looks like shipping costs to US and EU are being reduced:

I currently have an F2P alt account in another friend's platoon.

My hand landed on Resident Evil Director's Cut for #RandomGameSaturday. Capcom, can I use the rebate towards RE2 Remake or...?

#ps1 #playstation #psone #capcom

The discs and casing look to be in exceptional condition, what a great find. 😀

Never realised that the Director's Cut came in two discs though!

My bad, looks like you can't leave a platoon during the 3-hr gap before reset. Gotta wait for another 24 hrs. 🫤

Yesterday, Google chose to remove Doki Doki Literature Club from the Google Play Store. Their explanation is that the game’s content violates their Terms of Service in its depiction of sensitive themes. DDLC is widely celebrated for portraying mental health in a way that meaningfully connects deeply with players around the world, helping them feel heard, understood, and less alone on their journey. Managing to achieve that—making a truly meaningful difference by using the power of fiction to connect to others—is what I’m most grateful for. It inspires me every day to keep making cool new things, things that can really reach others, especially those in need of connection. DDLC is available on many different major platforms, including iOS, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and more. We’re continuing to do everything we can to find a path forward for getting DDLC reinstated on the Google Play Store. Meanwhile, we’re also looking into potential options for alternate methods of distribution on Android devices. We worked hard to bring DDLC to Android, and we’ve gotten to see so much love and enthusiasm from passionate Android users over these past few months. Thank you so much to the community for continuing to express your love and support for DDLC through the years. We’ll keep you updated on the future of DDLC for Android. - Dan Salvato and the Serenity Forge Team

A statement regarding the removal of DDLC from the Google Play Store:

One of the best visual novel experiences ever made, it's only 2.5 hours long and breaks the fourth wall to convey its themes to the player.

Just play on a different platform. The PC version has a couple of great mods for the game.

This Punch-Out!! Prototype is Unlike Anything We've Seen Before YouTube video by The Video Game History Foundation

We handle a lot of NES prototypes around here, so trust us when we say this one is weird. Join VGHF Founder Frank Cifaldi for a look at this prototype version of Punch-Out!! for the Nintendo Entertainment System: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3T5A...

Watched #ProjectHailMary. The best space exploration film I've seen, and one of Ryan Gosling's best performances to date.

Never felt bored during the 2hr 37min runtime — perfectly paced with enough tension and suspense. Great characters are essential to any good story and this was no exception.

RIPTO, no wait, Su-pa-i-ro

Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine Volume 3 Issue 1, page 90

I was just suddenly taken aback by the stylized katakana version of the original Spyro logo on the Japanese box. I missed that this logo was the origin story for Ripto's name in Spyro 2!

Before Super Mario Galaxy, there was...Super Mario Galaxy! We dug out some high resolution assets that were sent to the media ahead of the original game's release, from a 20-year-old CD.

Cool, we'll see you after Gunsmoke! 🫡

It's designed that way to prevent excessive platoon hoppng. Also, Gunsmoke ends slightly earlier before daily reset (about 3 hrs earlier on final day).

If you can login during that 3 hr gap, you can leave your existing platoon, then wait for daily reset to join another. Saves you an entire 24 hrs.

@kaitlynkitty1917.bsky.social Hi, if you're already in an existing platoon you'll have to wait until the current Gunsmoke season ends as the new season just started.

'You are Quaid (aren't you?)' asks this 1990 print ad for Acclaim's decidedly non-spectacular Total Recall video game for the NES.

Great film, had no idea this game existed. 🤣

Ooof, due to recent world events, it can't be helped. We have a platoon member from Australia who also had the same shipping costs but he decided to tank it for the Dinergate pillow. 🛌🐕

Preserving The Web Is Not The Problem. Losing It Is. Recent reporting by Nieman Lab describes how some major news organizations—including The Guardian, The New York Times, and Reddit—are limiting or blocking access to their content in the Internet Ar…

Blocking archives risks harming the public record.

Some news organizations are restricting access to the #WaybackMachine over fears of AI scraping. Mark Graham explains why these concerns are unfounded.

Highly unlikely as Igla is a 3rd Gen Doll created by the Girard Group, while Ullrid originated as a 2nd Gen combat Doll for use in (now banned) gladiator arenas.

Extremely proud to own the official #GirlsFrontline2 Mr Pizza pillow! Shipping and processing from the GFL web store was very fast.

Will gladly shop here again if they carry the official artbooks and physical soundtracks.

Bought a new phone to replace an aging Pixel 7A that was also running out of space.

First time in my life that I've spent 4 digits on a mobile device. 5-10 years ago I couldn't justify such a cost, but times have changed.

A flyer for Marathon. "Somewhere in the heavens... they are waiting. On board the interstellar colony ship Marathon things have gone horribly wrong. You are humanity's last hope for defense against an onslaught of vicious aliens sprung straight from your worst nightmares. Quick thinking, a lightning trigger finger and your will to survive are the keys to taking on the most sophisticated 3D action game ever..."

Marathon is still timely, right?
