Beyond the Wall of Stars (1992) is one of those weird multimedia experiences tailored-made for me. Ultralow-budget sci-fi interactive multiple-choice book with bonkers plot, water pistols, digitized actors and all that good stuff. It was supposed to be a trilogy but alas, that never happened.

Posting another one that's not just rock, but something better.

ive boosted saed before, and have independently verified him. he just launched a new campaign, as he's currently trying to support his family of 11 singlehandedly in the aftermath of the genocide on Gaza. boost and support if you can!

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains. Posting the alternative cover because I find it very funny.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

El hilo definitivo: TODOS LOS TEXTOS DE ESPADA Y PLUMA DE 2025. Cada uno ha costado sangre, sudor y lágrimas por distintos motivos. Estamos orgullosos de todos, y no nos gustaría que quedasen en el olvido, especialmente porque son bastante atemporales. ¡Vamos!

Acordándome fuerte estos días por motivos de @hugomgris.bsky.social @tomgaar.bsky.social y @scullywen.bsky.social.

Muchas reseñas seguidas en Backloggd, hora de ponerlas en orden! Empezamos con 11bit y This War of Mine. Es una reseña menor porque no le he dedicado aún el tiempo que debería, pero me ha dejado impresiones backloggd.com/u/Tomgaar/re...

Wes Anderson solo puede entenderse de forma verdadera si te has visto la producción de anime de TMS de los años 70.

The 70s. Termite Terrace is closed. Its residents either dead, retired, or moved on to other projects. But their creations, the Looney Tunes, lived on in some form or another to become inescapable cultural icons. This is the story of Bugs Bunny and pals and their legacy. youtu.be/GmypUwG6x2s

An apt paragraph for the "return to eroticism" times

En año me ha parecido extraordinariamente bueno en cuanto a cómics, voy a poner aquí los que más me han gustado de los que he leído

Aksys Games is translating the Neo Neon Tribe web story A sequel to Tribe Nine, a closed F2P game by Kodaka Kazutaka (Danganronpa, Hundred Line) The team didn't want the project to be left unfinished and revived it as a doujin web story

I remember visiting this when I was like 12 lol

video game graveyard, featuring information about cancelled games/ports from obsolete systems, website (2000) web.archive.org/web/20000815...

Home sick today. 1 like=1 obscure Yuri review from the Okazu archives.

Said this from day one. Unless you actually know the person running them pretty well, don’t use them. Self-appointed mods almost always roll in incoherent personal or intracommunity beefs. You’ll have your actual friends and acquaintances suddenly disappear from your feed without notice.

From all of our smiling friends to yours: happy holidays!

Perdón por la parrafada, pero leer esto habiéndome convertido ahora en el profesor me ha dejado pensativo.

When a director with an idiosyncratic style and one of anime’s most popular characters meet: Learn more about the Lupin the IIIrd movies in our upcoming interview with Takeshi Koike. Available on the ANIME MIND PROBE YouTube channel on December 26th!

Viendo Ninotchka por Navidad. Que gran película!

My Christmas gift to you all is the MZ-700 type-in version of the first commercial erotic game: Yakyūken! This 1983 release of Hudson Soft’s forgotten eroge includes colour and some minor revisions, please enjoy! The included pages are also my 1000th scan 💛

if the japanese artists come over here that’s a genuine tipping point

My totally not late Christmas Eve Eve gift to you is.. Comic Gunbuster! archive.org/details/Comi... A compilation of side-stories taking place at the same time as the first OVA. Please enjoy!

It's the Christmas issue of Famitsu, so that means many Japanese gaming industry folks gave their personal Game of the Year lists. I'll update this thread periodically since there's a lot of them once again.

From "Tokyo Godfathers" stage play (2020)

What all of these arguments share in common is the defense of bad videogame writing as the only possible state of affairs. It's genuinely alienating.

c) "Videogames are uniquely disqualified from having good writing forever." An incomprehensible position strictly driven by resentment—mind you, not of the aesthetic kind, as many gamers would love to believe, but of the "we lost the war on people's attention" kind.

(One thing you'll notice about many videogame discussions is how comfortable people are with making shit up: "videogames are good at x", "videogames are bad at y", etc. Tends to happen in the absence of the possibility, real or perceived, of discussing actual, existing works.)

b) "We don't, but that's okay (or, arbitrarily narrowing the aesthetic territory of videogames is desirable)." An ahistorical defense of essentialism cynically disguised as a defense of idiosyncrasy. These people simply don't treat videogames as art, including the "gamey" ones.

The whole discussion around good videogame writing: a) "We actually have it in spades, as demonstrated by mass appeal at worst and vulgar narratology at best." If you genuinely believe this, there is no hope for you.

I was told by an ex Lucasarts designer I worked with at Telltale that Dash Rendar, the main character of Shadows of the Empire, got his name from the command the engineers used to update the scene: -render

La forma que tiene la gente de hablar de Nolan me cansa, francamente.

My big project: The Death Generator. It's a tool for making fake video game screenshots, just fill in new text and it'll give you a (generally) pixel-accurate image back, the correct fonts and everything. deathgenerator.com

everyone dislikes genai in games, but kids and story-focused players the most. sounds like we'll be ok. just have to stay the course here and the "inevitable" new technology nobody likes will die. again. quanticfoundry.com/2025/12/18/g...

Calling all 6502/NES programmers! We recently preserved and shared a source code snapshot of the lost Police Academy game! Which is great, except it's in a pretty bad state. I'm hoping there's enough to "revert" back to its trade show demo. Any interest in helping? www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/pgm4m...

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

Twilight Princess is now 100% decompiled!!

Devastated. Outside of consistently hearing him be very pro-player and anti-shitty corporate practices I can’t speak to Vince professionally, but personally he was such a down to earth, funny, warm person. The industry already feels far less bright without him. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

the newest Critical Distance has a very good backloggd user who reviewed Horses, i recommend their stuff critical-distance.com/2025/12/21/d...

My Inconcludable Tripitaka article aside, this may have been the best work I've submitted all year. It exacted nearly two of my decades to finally make the reclusive author's acquaintance and garner an above-middling result. I pledge to polish it to a mirror finish during my retirement years.

Great to see @romhack.ing back on Bluesky after getting hit by the Cookie's Bustle troll For those new to this deeply weird story, some weirdo (nobody knows who, maybe a collector trying to bump the game's value) has been shutting down anything to even MENTION obscure 1999 adventure Cookie's Bustle

what do you mean "the near-complete source code to Princess Maker 1 and 2 was quietly uploaded to GitHub a few months ago and nobody noticed" github.com/ritsuro/Prin... github.com/ritsuro/Prin...
