Good morning Three months after the fact, I followed through on a Castlevania: Mirror of Fate bit teased with @ryyudo.bsky.social This references the VG Hustle segment from Arcade Pit by @smight.bsky.social which in itself is a reference to the NES game Freedom Force (the source of the music).

Only 7 left, this time! twitch.tv/Smight

Only 12 games left out of the 250 I have started in the damage shuffler. People keep adding more (very grateful !) but I am keeping pace. Maybe we'll finish tonight? twitch.tv/Smight

There was a time about 20 years ago where lying, annoying and sometimes dangerous ads like this were only seen much on seedy third-party sites & random blogs, instead of being featured at the top of YouTube app with priority as common practice. The intolerance for this sort of manipulation has gone.

Yo, MAGFest Guidebooks are out now! Make sure your schedule looks like this:

10 year history of Arcade Pit discourse & questions/answers, with @emilyaster.bsky.social and @tietuesday.bsky.social Had a few hiccups including my mic being muted for a bit. Didn't get any sleep fixing the myriad of errors in this video we made last night but here it is! youtu.be/KniQOutthj4

Tomorrow, at 2 pm Eastern, 10 episodes of Arcade Pit! www.patreon.com/posts/10-yea... Stop on by!

Now that all my stretch goals got hit, the big giant 210+ game shuffler is gonna allow people to reset cleared games at random with tips. I've cleared 110 games so far, and here's what the wheel currently looks like...!

Halloween has been approved by the only authority

Thanks for the passive-aggressive shirt, mom

New games weren't scarce in the 90s, but you could've easily played most of the hits. Now there's so many masterpieces that everyone has their personal endless backlog of amazing content. AI slop shouldn't be able to thrive in a market bursting with so many human-made, genuine banger pieces of art.

Arcade Pit 10-year anny is coming up, quicker than you may think! What might you like to see for Pit's 10th bday? History/retrospective? Behind the scenes, making of? Smth else? I would love to work on all these, just curious what the community might be looking for too. @smight.bsky.social

What I saw.

Arcade Pit, the weekly gameshow. We are extremely close to ten full years of never missing a single week, plus extra shows. Tonight's players: @okamiofgames.bsky.social, @kyon2570.bsky.social Notolecta, HyperCole64 And speedbump with @authorblu.es too! twitch.tv/Smight

29 long years have passed since I founded the emulation archive, Zophar's Domain, on 11.9.96. To this very day, the site still stands as a testament to an era that never actually disappeared but continues to live in the hearts of retrogamers all over the word. Emulation Forever!

I had a 'Bill's hat' from playing L4D competitively. Every day, a new TF2 rando would send me a trade request for it, furious at my declinations. Never understood the system. Tried to get rid of the cards every game gave for 10c each, futile. Still have the cursed $20~ hat in my gigantic inventory

Not able to talk due to surgery really but able to broadcast, gonna practice my magfast speedrun stuff twitch.tv/smight

They got me all messed up from oral surgery. I might be out of the streaming for a couple days herr

Often feel obligated in 2025 to say these facts I figured out in 2001: Poor people should be allowed to have nice things Trans rights are human rights Evolution is undeniable, the backbone of biology. People with more money than Smaug's treasure horde are worse for the community than he was.

Halloween Arcade Pit time! twitch.tv/smight @authorblu.es and @thevoiceofdog.bsky.social vs @sword.zone and @wobblypython.bsky.social See you there!

first wear of @tantrummerch.com @smight.bsky.social Arcade Pit hoodie!

With a heavy heart, I move "Pit Fighter" to #2 in the worst of SNES list, defying every other top ten worst game. Pit Fighter, a score of 2 out of 40 Your new champion, with a score of -1 :

So this guy was pretty much wrong about everything.

I am more or less satisfied with the apology and direction of retro achievements' response after pulling that set, and reeling in the lunatic that was banning everyone who criticized them for supporting a hate-speech game. They drew the correct lines, eventually. took friction, shouldn't have.

Archiving hyper racist Klan comic strips with the same energy as Garfield strips is not being "neutral," zero censorship is actually anti-freedom; You've created an environment where I no longer feel safe the N-bomb isn't gonna show up on my feed when I visit your front page. Site sucks. Farewell.

Happy halloween month and 2yr anniversary of this banger We'll see you for Halloween Arcade Pit on the 26th! www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-Ce...

Currently at 25 cleared, 178 games in the gigantic shuffler that rotates between them every time I take a hit. Starting another session! twitch.tv/smight

Not sure what this thing is, it was on my car. However, it's good to see AI is absolutely nailing it these days

📣 It's time for some NEW @smight.bsky.social merch! Check out the latest all-over print zip-up hoodie featuring both Snailser and the Arcade Pit logo OR grab yourself something smaller by getting an AP or Good Snail sticker available in 3 different sizes over at ➡️ tantrummerch.com/smight/

Yooo are we back??? A faithful sequel in this day and age?????

The Sting is a great movie, that everyone should watch, and rip Newman and Redford, its stars. When they weren't busy making banger films, Redford was: an environmentalist, LGBT advocate, founder of the Sundance festival Newman founded Newman's own; 100% of profit goes to charity (600m to date)

Roast em, kings

Least interesting article ever suggested to me

Starting the damage shuffler! For the third year, and with more games than ever 100 + 100 (added as we go) games at once. Shuffles on damage. Let's roll! Ground floor stream twitch.tv/smight

An English translation of the PS2 cowboy bebop game is finally out! If only there was another patch to make it a good game. It's a generic 3D beat-em-up, with clumsy shmup sections and you know I love those being tossed in.
