I was introduced to this Anti-AI slop site by @kamkonek.bsky.social where your answers come from humans LARPing as AI and you in turn also pretend to be AI. youraislopbores.me

My list is pretty random, but maybe my taste is just chaotic. Fallout 3/NV and THPS1/2/3 were too hard to decide between, so they didn't make the cut. Might also be cheating to have MCC, but the Halo trilogy is so special to me, and my name is in the credits so I get a free pass :)

Spread the word, an ACTUAL replacement for Flash is on the horizon! Go support this project NOW!!!!!!!! bill.newgrounds.com/news/post/16...

life is short. let a friend know you care about them, and if there's someone you want to get to know or haven't spoken to in a bit, reach out to them. you never know when it might be too late

oh, right. a few years ago, i made a game about experiencing executive dysfunction. you can play it in your browser here: xkeeper.net/dys.html have fun

Beautiful work! This is gold for anyone planning their gaming setup or needing to remember how things are all wired.

New 360 app drop! This should be useful for people who fix or mod a lot of 360s and run into ones with Parental Control passcodes on them. No need to bother with dumping NAND for it anymore. consolemods.org/wiki/Xbox_36...

I've revamped the GBA article with new info about backwards compatibility, hidden modes in the PPU (which I suspect they were meant for a stereoscopic mode, a la 3DS) and the wonders of the Link cable. This is to prepare for an upcoming book release. www.copetti.org/writings/con...

Here's the last drop of PVM 2030 scans - Supplement 2, 3, and 4! These contain updated schematics for the D, B1, and B2 boards. Refer to the cited serial number ranges or part number variations to figure out if they apply to your model. crtdatabase.com/crts/sony/so...

Following up my last post about the Sony PVM 2030 service manual scan, here's ANOTHER ONE. This time, Supplement 1 for serial #2,000,000+ models. These are the ones where Sony switched from the VTR port to an S-Video port on the back. archive.org/details/sony...

As part of a collaboration with the incredibly talented @redherring32.com of Opentendo fame, we are happy to announce the OpenTendo-AGB (OpenGBA)! This is a fully open source recreation of the AGB-CPU-01 circuit board. (Repository is attached in the next post)

Wild the PVM-2030 manual is finally available!! This should help anyone looking to repair one. Please reach out to Andy if you have a manual that isn't available online! The CRT community needs all the help it can get ♥️

Feel free to widely share this curated easy to understand #Satellaview knowledge that I just posted on my blog. I didn't want to overscope it but I spent a lot of time explaining a curated list of games for those who have no idea what the Satellaview is. luigiblood.neocities.org/blog/2026-01...

feel like this is one of the bigger labor stories of Our Current Regrettable Age variety.com/2026/gaming/...

Some really interesting items this week

Is there anything more notable/interesting than github.com/xairy/raw-ga... for emulating USB devices locally? Think loopback - I have an emulator which is supposed to provide an USB device to the host it is running on (guest->host device emulation, as opposed to host->guest device passthrough).

It was inevitable.

"Dreamcast", a haiku Each day he rises. Asks me, "Is it still launch day?" "Yes," I lie. "Always."

Interesting (and scary) article. 😶 hackaday.com/2025/12/18/t...

The first XCAT find of 2026 is here! Console 2156****4105 uploaded the Italian update 4 for Halo 2 from an 80gb Maxtor HDD. The last find was Halo 2 Japanese update 5 in December. XCAT is preserving the history of Xbox Live. Please run it even on old HDD upgraded consoles. consolemods.org/XCAT

Neat! Leg bender for making 128MB mods on a 1.6 Xbox easier and more structurally sound. github.com/EXP-Systems/...

I made a readme guide for my game boy repos... girl has done a lot lol github.com/nataliethenerd

Wow, x.com certainly has done a 180° from 1997 web.archive.org/web/19970411...

Several months ago, I designed a FRAM board for the PCE Shuttle Backup Memory Unit, and a friend tested it. I've been so busy, I just got a chance to update the GitHub repository with the board (sorry, no installation pictures). github.com/pce-devel/PC...

First progress report of the new year is live. 😄 Updates on the progress of the #OpenSFC GPM edition, as well as how one should expect it to compare to the currently released SHVC board. Check the latest details on Ko-Fi 😄 ko-fi.com/Post/Progres... #SuperFamicom #SNES

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

If you're still using Twitter/X in any capacity get the fuck off now. Cut ties entirely. Any following you have is not worth it. For any reason.

I made a t-shirt last night after I read that Satya Nadella post about how mean we're being by calling AI slop slop. I'm sad I couldn't get it here in time for the CES keynotes tomorrow.

@ohpoorpup.bsky.social have you seen this? xevious reinterpretation horizontal shooter that retains the bomb mechanic with remixed music, for minimum-spec MSX

Happy New Year! To go with the recent Hardware update, I have an update from the OpenXHD firmware dev team for you. Thank you Clegg and everyone else on the dev team for your hard work! I also spent the last week reorganizing some hardware for an easier to hand assemble layout for the new board.

2025 was brutal for games media, but I'm seeing some glimmers of hope as worker-owned sites like @aftermath.site, @rascal.news, and @giantbomb.bsky.social have carved out vital spaces in the games community. Earlier this year, I made a huge Indie Games Media starter pack for y'all. Let's celebrate.

Merry Christmas Xbox fans! It has been two very challenging years, but work continues on the OpenXHD project. Hardware is complete, pending updates from the FW dev team. Speaking of which, there is a FW dev team! Things are moving along quicky now and I will have more news for you soon!

Attention new users! I've made a starter pack of Japanese game devs, something a lot of folks miss from Twitter. Please flow and re-share! And if I'm missing anybody let me know! go.bsky.app/5R1tEtT

We need to do something about this shit. Props to @bennjordan.bsky.social for pressing this issue so much. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU1-...

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

I finally figured out how you "paint the town red", it starts by opening over-fermented raspberry kombucha in my kitchen and painting the walls

In May, Twitch deleted 100K speedruns among millions of other videos. With the help of ArchiveTeam and @archive.org we saved these speedruns and 500K+ other popular Twitch videos. My search tool for viewing these archives is now live! archive.speedrun.club
