Never mind his Wikipedia page, I just found out the OFFICIAL MODRETRO WEBSITE makes the connection between its' products and human suffering plain as day. There really are absolutely no excuses for people saying "I didn't know!"

New Ancient DOS Games episode uploaded and ready to watch! youtu.be/YdRN2SUUAEg

Sometimes, low energy days means you can’t get the shit done that you want to. Usually that means gotta push it back to tomorrow - where hopefully a better sleep will help.

Good morning, I'm back at @retroxp.bsky.social looking at 30 years of the Playstation, this time through the lens of Namco Museum. Namco's celebration of its past was never better, nor a deeper dive, than in its initial Playstation incarnations, and they should look to that fact in the future.

LIVE NOW!

"Dragons walk along the bone-covered ground, and enemies hide in desert sands." Here's a new article for everyone on PC Engine shmup Psychic Storm! kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2025/09/26/p...

Game over, man. (You’re welcome) #TakenobuMitsuyoshi

Guess I gotta carve out some time for Hades 2 - I mean, forget being able to Pet the Dog, it lets you Pet the Frog, and I think that has to make it a 10/10 game. (But man, I need to refresh myself on the first, and finish the thing I'm playing to cover for P2 first... alas...)

Got a NEW VIDEO for y'all! Gradius Advance/Galaxies/Generation may not be the first entry you think of, but it not only is a great way to blast Bacterions on the go, but also wants to help you be a better Vic Viper pilot! #retrogaming #gba #gameboyadvance #gradius www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntrj...

Feeling some feelings tonight: went with games group to visit the arcade we occasionally visit for what’s basically the last time (as the person running that space is selling the machines off and moving on). It’s always been nice to have a place Northside for this. If only to save on travel…

Not really a fan of folks who do the follow-unfollow thing. If you’re desperate for me to follow you back, then maybe you should talk? I mean, that’s why I use it - to talk with friends, peers and folks who create things I love and also to share the shit i create - vids, games, etc.

Please just develop the literacies and dispositions to play old games just like you can watch old movies.

It is episode 169 of the P2 Pixelcast, and this week @pretendbeard.bsky.social, @essieteric.bsky.social and @robcap.bsky.social chat all about the nicer things in life... well, specifically nice looking consoles. www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-...

Can’t say I’m a fan of the national broadcaster throwing out a bunch of AI puff pieces like this. Plus the whole general talk of “productivity” around it or whatever. Just gives me that kind of ick. The throwing people into the cogs of the machine ick… www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

My most millennial take is that software as a service and anything explicitly browser based that requires an internet connection and does not run off the drive inside my machine is a fucking scam

Found this to be a good read. Something I've really learned to value more is getting out when I can. It's been tough with the current state of things, plus the impact of certain other things… …but enjoying stuff with friends has been a big source of joy especially during this year.

Here' a new article everyone can read on the Mega Drive's unique, ambitious, and endlessly inventive take on classic Castlevania: kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2025/09/24/v...

Let's have a wander through one of my favourite genres: kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2024/03/08/e...

The second wave of the latest Taito Arcade Archives sale is up (or will be up soon depending on your region), offering 30% until October 8th. I've done my usual write-up on all of the games, noting if you can find them in other ways. Have a look! postgamecontent.com/post/7955402...

Got a NEW VIDEO for y'all! Gradius Advance/Galaxies/Generation may not be the first entry you think of, but it not only is a great way to blast Bacterions on the go, but also wants to help you be a better Vic Viper pilot! #retrogaming #gba #gameboyadvance #gradius www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntrj...

I used to play Geometry Wars: Galaxies on my DS while I worked shifts at a calendar kiosk in the mall, and mastering that game with that handheld's little D-pad is up there with the most stubborn things I've done in games. I have no regrets.

Might be early to be thinking about this, but as excited as I am to see friends (and make new ones) during MIGW, did want to express a little thing on peopling. If only because of this incident from last year that kind of reinforces some of my own worries on meeting new folks.

The climate of rampant IP theft has given landlords ideas I want to remind everyone: NEVER waive your moral rights. Even if creators don’t own copyright in the work, it must still be credited to them & nobody else, & the work can’t be used in a way that harms their reputation. More info here:

Another day, another rejection. The worst part is getting the "in normal circumstances we'd have loved to have a chat, but we were swamped with so many applications" response. Just gotta keep telling myself it won't feel like this forever, but sometimes, man, that's pretty fucking hard.

Please repost and share this around, and if you know of an event or are attending an event during MIGW, please share it to the mailing list for the upcoming send! It helps me A Lot. <3

Puzzle Quest is making a glorious return with its Immortal Edition. Does it still hold up, or have years of microtransaction-filled imitators tainted the love for the original? Read @hewso.bsky.social's review to find out. www.player2.net.au/2025/09/puzz...

Podcasting is now twenty years old. And that means shows that ran for years are now just a bunch of URLs that resolve to nothing. Sometimes, someone uploads a full set of mp3s to archive.org, and that’s great! But you can’t easily listen the same way as your other podcasts. What if you could? 🧵

Spending a little time with this recent-ish conversion of Lock’n Chase to the C64. It feels quite spot on - which is no surprise, as the C64 hardware is of the right vintage for this era of arcade game to get brought over well.

Metroidvanias are either Protestant or Catholic. Castlevania? Catholic, of course. Metroid? Protestant. Blasphemous is Catholic. Dead Cells, Protestant. Hollow Knight is Protestant, but Hollow Knight: Silksong is Catholic. That's why people are complaining the game is hard. Cause it's Catholic now.

Was out all day, but home now so I can share a thing for #RandomGameSaturday! Here’s Nemesis II (the Japanese version) for original Game Boy. An original entry in the series which works quite well for the limited GB hardware! (And is on Switch Online’s catalogue too!)

Perhaps today is a good day to write about every game in the JALECOlle Famicom Vers. line of classic reissues, I told myself. Read if you like Jaleco games. Which should be just about everyone who follows me, right? postgamecontent.com/post/7951134...

A new game from one of the original minds behind XCOM? Of course, @hewso.bsky.social had to check it out. Read his full review of Chip 'n Clawz vs. The Brainiods now. www.player2.net.au/2025/09/chip...

I was expecting to have feels from the teaser, and oh boy, there were FEELS alright. BIG DAMN FEELS. 😢 (I mean, take a nerd who feels too much, add in the last few years and you can see why...)

Don't think this will change, so might as well throw up my MIGW25 plans. Bummed I couldn't afford tix to GCAP, but it's just way too much for me and my current position. Anyway, if any friendos want to catch up over coffee/drinks/snacks/etc, HMU! 🖤

I’m so glad I got out of the house today. I think it was practice for activity during Games Week, and being away from The Computer was smart. But bummed we’ve nowt but rain over the next week though - kinda torn between plans and bundling up at home for the rest of it.

LiveAI demo fails on the first prompt at Meta Connect 2025. #Meta #AI #LiveAI

Touching some grass and adventuring today whilst there’s a spot of nice weather. Also feeling like I need to distract a bit, so Y’know with all of the things. (Also waiting on things. Maybe. URGH.)

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing. These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

This might be a daft time to ask - but this necklace chain broke a while back, and I've been meaning to see if it can be fixed, but not sure where I should take it. (I'd prefer not to have to buy a new one, but I feel like it should be fixable, right?)

"... there’s something about Super Famicom Wars‘ simplicity, this lack of so many things that obviously suit the series so very well, that keeps me coming back for more." A new piece everyone can read on this cheerful SFC strategy game: kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2025/09/17/s...

Next Scanlines is up in Early Access - taking a look at Gradius Advance/Galaxies/Generation on GBA, which isn't just a great portable instalment, but might also be a great way to master the art of blasting Bacterions…

New Boot Leg Gaming video uploaded and ready to watch! youtu.be/KwiundZ0pE4

After 42 years, Imagic’s Moonsweeper for the VIC-20 has finally been preserved. Painstakingly restored by Ken Van Mersbergen (with help from Simon Rowe & Torsten Okra), Ken has kindly allowed release on Games That Weren’t today. Full story + download: www.gamesthatwerent.com/2025/09/imag...

Feeling in a good place with next vid - got a couple of photos to grab and edit in, which I won't be able to tackle until this evening, but the rest is done (pending a proof pass). Should mean if all goes well, it'll be ready for an early access release to channel supporting folk tomorrow.

Frosty is back to celebrate the coolest upcoming and recently released games made in Australia & Aotearoa, this December 🍦🥳 We’ll be featuring exclusive reveals, announcements, and updates. Developers can submit their games now until Sep 30! ⤵️ forms.gle/tt8y9N1dPweS...

In the latest from the JFC-What-The-Fuck-This-Is-Actual-Real-Department. "Classic Gaming Inspired Fragrances". From the mind of one of my least favourite firms. I learned of this horror, and I wish I never did. www.gamespress.com/FROM-PIXELS-...

Descent released on MS-DOS in 1994 as the first "true 3D" first-person shooter, and the game that popularized six degrees of freedom in movement (and made some people nauseous because of it). That it could run on the Playstation as well as it did, and control as well as it did, was mind-blowing.
