Starting a thread for every game I complete that I want to discuss. Games I choose to highlight will be decided much more on how they made me feel than by a more objective measure of quality or popularity. I hope it leads to an eclectic list of game reviews from all genres, and of opinions. #1 below

Getting close to finishing Phantasy Star 1 Retranslation on the Sega Master System. I like that it gives me the option to choose what sound chip to use for the music, because it radically changes the music. The FM sound version is so much better

It's almost time for Ramadan, as Muslims tonight peered to the crescent moon to see if the month of Ramadan starts tonight or the day after. As with every year, I'm starting this thread so that people can ask questions, and learn about Ramadan from one person's perspective of it.

So for like a year people were telling me there was a God of War spinoff was a 2D Metroidvania about Atreus. Seeing Sons of Sparta, which is what I assume they were referring to, I can see how they came to that conclusion. But it's a good lesson in how these things can be a game of telephone.

If your review average is a 7 because everybody gave you a 7, that's one thing. If your average is a 7 because it's half 10s and half 4s, that is how you know it's The Good Stuff

Something that can turn a modular synth into a whole new beast is expressive control. The Expert Sleepers FH-2 can turn loads of different USB inputs into CV and gate signals, including game controllers!!

The Paramount+ app is probably the worst streaming platform in existence from a stability perspective. It freezes and gitches out nonstop, often requiring full restarts.

I really wish I could get into the artstyle for Another Eden Begins, due to the pedigree of the people behind it (Chrono Trigger and Xenogears), but it's of a kind that would ruin the whole experience for me.

No cherry-picking. No party filter. Just receipts. And a lot of powerful men are terrified right now. KASIE HUNT: “Do you have pictures of people engaged in sexual acts as part of this?” REP. SUBRAMANYAM: “Yes, there are people engaged in sexual acts.”

In Super Mario Galaxy, the stars on the letters of the logo spell "u r mr gay", while for the movie it says "he mr gay". This is because you are watching Mario, not playing him.

STOP THE PRESSES. The ROM for the unreleased Famicom RPG Splatter World has been released (in a thread on 4chan, of all places). I've tried it myself, and it does seem to be genuine. If it's a fake, it's a damn good one. Expect (more) coverage on West Mansion soon.
