On this day in 1978, Def Leppard played their first-ever gig, at Westfield School, Sheffield. The reason I mention this, is that I was there - no idea who they were (obviously). This was my old school. 📸Def Leppard.

this is a renaissance painting

Raffi you’re so right

just opened x and immediately got hit with the most violent vocal stim I've seen in a second credit(?): x.com/LagSpike776/...

20 years ago we used to have Johnny Cash, Bob Hope and Steve Jobs and now we have Johnny Diarrhea, Bob Diarrhea and Steve Diarrhea.

My two cents on the retro vs modern game discussion: maybe people have trouble accepting PS3 games as retro because the biggest ones are still going.

Hi there everyone, it’s me, the last person who is still having fun playing video games. My secret? I mostly just pirate Dreamcast games I see blog posts about.

My favourite thing about save states is that makes it possible for me to do small bites of games in Japanese that have save points far apart. I can't often find the 3 hours it takes for me to read through a Sakura Wars 3 segment but with save states they become save anywhere.

Webber asks Evan Stanley and Tyson Hesse about what goes into making silent animation...and then asks Takashi Iizuka about his experience doing this for NiGHTS into Dreams. #SonicNews #AX26

I keep seeing the Rashomon joke singled out as the Simpsons' most concise/subtle, and may I suggest a contender?

when i was young they had these people called “investigative journalists” who could find out stuff like if a senator was dead or not

it's a weirdly specific genre but I really miss the PS360-era console-exclusive shooter. 5-8 hour campaign with incredible visuals and setpieces and a multiplayer suite of cool game modes playable online or local. no battlepasses or lootboxes, everything is just there in the box.

It’s funny how psycho some people get about Fleetwood Mac. They make wine party music but a 50 year old woman will stab you if you suggest Stevie Nicks isn’t perfect.

The founder we should talk more about is Thomas Paine, who will fuck your shit up every time. Here he is in The Rights of Man just ripping into any ideas of "originalism" and that kind of garbage.

obligatory for the 4th

Post a random picture or else everything will go bad in July.

The Ouya correctly diagnosed what the console market needs (low cost, easy to develop for alternative) but just did it too shittily and too early. What we desperately need is an Apple or a Sega to come along and basically do the Ouya, preferably once the RAM bubble deflates.

Ad Rock: you can disagree with the current All: POPE MCA: but if you push his buttons then you’re a All: DOPE Mike D: ordain yourself a bishop and you’re All: SCHISMATIC Ad Rock: excommunication is All: AUTOMATIC

the next thing you impulse buy WILL change your life. do NOT wait or second guess yourself, this time it IS going to be different

Very late period 16-bit was a wild thing.

So glad Nintendo are the good guys keeping video games alive! To learn more about this google “Howard Lincoln Sega Congress Testimony”

Gaming was better when the industry made a lot less money.

Here’s the thing guys, John Romero *always was* the cool one.

Folks.

Sentimental Graffiti is interesting because I believe the game itself isn't very well regarded but it had a huge amount of hype leading up to its release. The author of Hi Score Girl, Rensuke Oshikiri, even wrote about the hype surrounding the game in his autobiographical manga Pico-Pico Shounen.

Us hardcore Sega fans only care about stuff that happened before or after Sega was actually successful as a console maker.

my parents got me sonic adventure dx as a kid but they didn't want me watching the intro because it was "too much like 9/11"

Bots on twitter: we must purify the blood Bots on Bluesky: A book a day keeps the doctor away! *AI image of Tigger reading*

Startling new evidence in the “Megaman isn’t popular at all, actually” debate.

Ngl I thought we all knew about the Tulsi Gabbard stuff. I’ve known it for like 5 years. That was my bad I guess.

*nods wisely* Stocks go up so they gotta go down someday.

34 YEAR OLD WOMAN AT ANIME CON HOTEL PARTY: you sound pretty passionate about that jax character. you know, when i was your age we had similar arguments about a different character, we called it "vriscourse" 22 YEAR OLD WOMAN WHO DIDN'T KNOW SOJU WAS THAT STRONG: could yuo push me down the stairs,,

Everyone on Bluesky either just got their 5 year chip, had a dog that died, or is saying fuck

Nofap November is the most “government psyop“ sounding concept for something that I’m like 99% sure isn’t.

This game rules but is weirdly hard

It seems so pointless saying that Casablanca is a great movie, because everyone says it. But it really is near perfect.

This BETTER be weirdly horny

the music video for Peter Gabriel's "Steam" scans remarkably like a Tim & Eric bit.
