Holy shit, brave story new traveler mentioned??? 2026 off to an incredible start

Oxenfree (Night School Studio, 2016)

Dragon Lore: The Legend Begins (1994)

Inside of you there are two wolves. On this #scanlinesunday.. ..which one will you feed? #crt #retrogaming #fgc

DELISOBA DELUXE CAVE 1997 SEGA SATURN

Virtua Cop (Saturn) (1995) 1/3

I'm calling it now, people are gonna rediscover Götzendiener this year and it's gonna be inescapable here in the best way

I thought I saw a bee in one of the flowerpots on my balcony, but when I got closer I saw it was an SD card with the name @houseplantsinvg.bsky.social written on it. Inside was this. Thank you so much!

Beaches Area (Ctesiphon, PC, Stomy, 2025)

We're in absolute need of help right now. All we need is a bed, a bathroom, internet, and for our cat to be allowed to come with us.

AD&D Adventures in Krynn through PC-98 eyes - and the ears of a future Final Fantasy composer. Hitoshi Sakimoto worked on the scores for a fair few AD&D game conversions to Japanese PCs & Mega CD, including this one for Champions of Krynn, giving it some dramatic energy in the battle scenes.

I thought that from time to time I could make posts like this recommending some things I play that seem less well-known to me.

Quake (1996, PC) mod: Peril (2023)

Area 2 Envy: Boss Battle Arena (Battle Robot Damashii, PSP, Bandai Namco Games, 2013)

after starting to play moon i think it's really apparent how this was a big inspiration for undertale

For this #ScanlineSunday I bring you LCD scanlines! So many great games on this system, let’s go with this beauty: Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia ファイアーエムブレム エコーズ もうひとりの英雄王 IS - 2017 - Nintendo 3DS Nintendo 2DS XL screen

Never underestimate the power of late gen ps1 budget games. In July 2001, Lunar wing was here to show us how high res works. UI is a bit bland and the sound effects sound like 1994 Saturn menus but shh it’s high res. Music is really pretty too. Dare I say I’m impressed and so is Purupuru the slime.

Screw the so-called 'Buster Sword,' an umbrella is clearly the superior RPG weapon ☂️ #ScanlineSunday

First game of 2026 finished! Götzendiener (PC Engine CD, Studio Alex-Gainax, 1994). An adventure-Puzzle game (and could I also say survival horror?) I really enjoyed it, although the controls were the hardest part. The vibes, the art, the feeling of loneliness, and the puzzles were all great.

instead of being an inert loaf I have elected to "touch grass" on this, Scanline Sunday

I just keep finding incredibly specifically themed videogame vibe profiles and ngl they always improve my mood~ lil shoutout to @quest64official.bsky.social @houseplantsinvg.bsky.social @videogamebeach.bsky.social and @rainingames.bsky.social (pls show me more like these I love this)

Ys V: Lost Kefin, Kingdom of Sand (2006, PS2)

Tonight I’m feeling Dreamcast and digging out this old game for Dreamcast Game 1 of 2 for 2025. Any love for Evolution? The soundtrack is amazing. I actually owned a PAL copy growing up but never finished it. Ready to revisit it decades later. I love this era of colourful Dreamcast graphics.

Broken Reality (2018)

Arcadia Island Beach (Shining Ark, PSP, Media.Vision, 2013)

And I believe that calling AI "slop" is actually being polite. We should not allow the revolution to be driven by AI bros who care more about destroying the arts and making the masses mindless in an attempt to make money than actual progress.

One of my favourite Dragon magazine covers - March 1989's. Always makes me think of Shadowrun's Awakening and what it would have been like for the pilots encountering dragons in the sky for the first time.

Perfect Dark (N64) (2000) 1/2

The out of sync benefits make budgeting hard in January but here's this months MA post. I'm disabled, homebound, and at this time of year, I'm even more vulnerable. I need help to survive the winter. 🙏 💸💸 Goal: 0/1300 ko-fi.com/jebwrench

The first 3DO obscurity I looked at, back in the before times. I remember it because 0 people liked it at the time. One of the biggest wastes of time (metrically, at least). Nice to see it pop back up web.archive.org/web/20241217...

Beach Stage (Pop'n Magic, Super CD-ROM², Riot, 1992)

my top 5 most watched movies! (It's a top five that would change each time asked) -Alien -Starship Troopers -The Fifth Element -Streets of Fire -Ghost in the Shell

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, But the fire is so delightful, And since we've no place to go, Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! 🎶 The totally valid SNES nostalgia for a generation. And the gateway to Onett, Narshe, and Porre I'll always be grateful for. 💜

One of the early female protags in video/computer games: Kim Kimberly from Level 9's Snowball. (1983)

Remember that there are people who profit from you feeling doomed. So please, take a breath, and cool down. You cannot organise, support, or protect your community if you’re running on solely fear and panic. Steady yourself, share good resources, and remember a clear head is the way to move.

This phantom gave me a real hard time while working, one-shotting me mid-air as I jumped down from the balcony multiple times. So here's some bonus shots of her receiving her comeuppance.

The placement of this particular black phantom is so evil. At the end of a *very* long level, right before the boss door, she appears out of thin air armed with a one-shot crossbow and a plague knife, ready to inflict a stressful run-back upon first-time players. #crt #demon'ssouls #gaming
