"Grandia’s a game keen on showing you what’s happening rather than telling you about it, detailed sprite sheets packed with so many unique grabs, poses, pointing, high-fives[...]you wonder how they managed to fit it all onto two CD-ROMs." kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2020/11/20/a...

just being out at night if you’re anywhere near roads is like actively painful at this point

I don't hang out in really huge online communities is the disproportionate amount of anti social guys feeding off of each other in off putting, aggressive ways. This points to an aspect of how loneliness allows companies to manipulate a lot of vulnerable, unstable men into some of these behaviors.

Gonna return to streaming with what I call "backlog roulette". I'll play unfinished games I'm in the middle of I've been playing on and off stream. Maybe I'll make an actual wheel, or just go with vibes. No strict schedule, except for friends, and not gonna focus on showing the full game either.

Anyone ever see this weird bug/glitch in Tomb Raider Remastered (Switch Version) where the bungalow on the crane in Natla's Mines has like a shadow version on top of it?? Maybe I accidentally sequence broke something???

Pretty sure almost everyone who's played Tomb Raider (original) has accidentally saved the game when they should have loaded it instead and faced DIRE playthrough ending consequences... (1/2)

Pixar designed Toy Story to be printed on physical film. The Disney renaissance movies were the same. Today, it's hard to see them as they were meant to be seen. The versions on streaming and home media aren't quite the same films that ruled the '90s: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-toy-st...

Something I've noticed being a real life photographer and playing third person perspective 3D games w. a controller: If there's an aiming reticle, I will not invert the axes. If there isn't one, I will invert them. Why? (1/...)

We had fucking congressional hearings over Mortal Kombat.

This adaptation of a newly beloved classic I played earlier this year on my personal time looks excellent! I highly recommend checking out the originals too which are on multiple platforms (I played 1+2 on Switch). Still wanna check out Amerzone as well! Benoît Sokal and his team were truly magical.

Hey! You know that podcast I keep talking about? Well, here it is and it would be cool if we started to get some more traction on it!

With Syberia – Remastered out now, we have more exciting news: the original Syberia has joined the GOG Preservation Program! 👉 bit.ly/4qJCB6D From now on, we’ll maintain this beloved classic to ensure it remains playable in its best form for generations to come.

For some reason, I just wanted to replay Hotel Dusk after almost another decade again. And now that I'm playing it, I must say, I'm completely captivated by its visual style and mature noir atmosphere. This game absolutely deserves a PC port!✨ I want to make more character doodles in the future!

I'm back from my 2½ week overseas vacation! Stream and friend activities will probably continue in a week or two.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of Greg Newby, who led Project Gutenberg ( @gutenberg.org ) with passion and purpose. Greg’s belief in free and open access to knowledge continues to inspire us and so many others working to preserve our shared culture online. gutenberg.org/about/newby....

I think what isn't really said distinctly here is that they should be considered different games entirely. The remakes are moreso adaptations than defacto replacements, an alternate experience, and I hope Capcom understands that.

Capcom was initially against GOG's request to add the original versions of Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3 to its store, and "took a lot of convincing" to agree to it, according to a GOG executive. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/capcom-...

Newgrounds has a very helpful guide for detecting AI audio over at www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-in... for anyone interested in catching AI-generated music. Don't rely on any service that uses AI for detection, that's just using slop to find slop and you'll get false positives/missed catches.

you can download and play Phantasy Star Online for free I don't know why we keep trying to advance past that
