This quote has made it painfully obvious that Shigeru Miyamoto has never, EVER, met George Lucas.

The “How do you do fellow kids” vibes are fucking nuclear heatdeath with these new profiles… Do yourself a favor & block them fast.

I was married, but I'm not married anymore. Women don't like the vehicle.

Aw, the poor floor certainly didn’t deserve that, I hope it’s ok…

Losing Drew Struzan, D’Angelo, & Tomonobu Itagaki in the same week is such a fucking blow to creative culture… This week has been such a bummer all around.

Give it a listen y’all, you won’t regret it!

The Addams Family (TurboGrafx CD) Way of the Warrior (3DO) (In hindsight) Bioshock Infinite These are like, just the games that IMMEDIATELY come to mind—most others get dropped after a few tries.

I know that it is probably very juvenile to think this way but this week has already left me exhausted, because so many people who made this world better have suddenly left it, and the ones making it worse are still here

For an open-world game with non-linear progression, the pathfinding in Ghost of Yōtei sure feels annoyingly narrow. I keep bumping up against invisible edges that seem to be actively funneling me onto a different route towards something else, almost like a reverse Tears of the Kingdom approach…

Happy Columbo’s Day

For #ScanlineSunday, I again felt a certain way like I did with #RandomGameSaturday & went with Super Genjin 2, the Bonk that no one talks about, & probably the silliest one in the whole series! Super Genjin 2 (Super Famicom, 1995) JVC AV-27230 27" CRT TV HD Retrovision component cables

Spent the day trying out a new hiking trail AND a new place to chow down afterwards—a few mishaps that may have caused some injuries, but other than that, it was another solid day in Pacifica with my favorites!

Holy shit what?! The Bubsy 4D demo is out?! Currently working on a big video feature for PPR regarding the Bubsy series so this totally works out!

Almost missed #RandomGameSaturday (I have a pretty good reason why that I’ll share in a bit!) Luckily, we got home early, & well, I’ve been feeling a certain way, so yeah—AEW Fight Forever is my pick this week. This game did not get its flowers, & it really is one of the most fun puroresu jams out!

Broke: Fortnite Woke: Ready Player One Bespoke: Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue

At this point everyone involved with the DHS should honestly be tried at The Hague. Seriously, this is so fucked…

Never have I seen such a gross misunderstanding of what makes something special… Using an AI slop trailer to usher in a “new era” for a conference that’s famous for people sharing their labors of love is like just…I can’t even think of something witty to compare it to—it’s just shit from an ass.

Alright y’all—I finally got the seating in here situated. So streaming/recording should be FAR more comfortable now!

Looks like this a Pikmin teaser based on all of the Pikmin music & the “Where’s Waldo”-ass cameo of the red Pikmin made in the background of one of the action shots. My hope is that this will get announced as a weird Pikmin X Chibi-Robo crossover.

The hill you’re dying on is already caking your feet with mud…

Working on production right now—some stream schedules will follow once the episode is published!

For #ScanlineSunday, I went with the real best port of Rayman, & I’ll leave it to the excellent video essay from Pimpeaux to explain why (youtu.be/pjJV0iOYASU?...) Rayman (Atari Jaguar, 1995) JVC AV-27230 27" CRT TV SCART (transcoded via Shiny Bow converter through HD Retrovision cables)

Me fighting the first boss in Silent Hill f

Man it says a lot that Well-Read Mage nuked his account here & then sent out his apology through a burner account, all while he’s getting yucked up on his apology post on Twitter, where his page is very much still in tact… Super disappointed to see it folks.

Fuck, I guess I didn’t plan for #RandomGameSaturday, so sure—one of these!

Ok, so after all the fiddling, I confirmed that the cable is what got fucked… An easy, yet annoyingly tedious issue to resolve.

Slowly discovering more damage from last week’s power outage: I can’t get get HDR to work on my PS5 Pro at 2160p, I can only get it to work at 1080p (everything else on is fine.) I’m going to switch around the PS5 HDMI cable to a different input on my Denon AVR receiver & see if it’s an input issue

Snagged some titles to jump into after the hike the tomorrow—thanks again to @cakehoarder.bsky.social for the quality control on what they stock!

I came for the promise that BlueSky would be a platform that would take moderation & user safety seriously—if I wanted to see cringe shit getting spewed from a thin-skinned dipshit of a CEO, I would have just logged back into Twitter.

It should be a good time y’all!

Hell YES Joe, hell YES!

Y’all, sometimes, like, SOMETIMES, I really just HATE it* here… * “it” referring to the enormous amount of media illiteracy from folks who are unfortunately also the same people that talk the LOUDEST & DUMBEST shit.

Yooooo, never before has there been a crossover more George-coded than this y’all!

Apparently today is #InternationalPodcastDay? Well, if y’all are so inclined, I’d super appreciate it if you followed/subbed @presspauseradio.bsky.social right meow. We’re recording a new episode this weekend, planning a stream of Silent Hill f & Baby Steps, & much more!

He ain’t lying y’all—shit’s digital gold right meow.

Hegseth talking to America’s Generals:

Nine months—it’s been nine, AGONIZINGLY long months, & we’ve finally gotten to the point where the dipshit is saying the quiet part he’s been hinting at out loud.

The same regime that actively oppresses/retaliates against women, the LGBTQ community, &/or dissidents now owns EA on top of owning SNK & Pokémon GO, AND not to mention their ongoing agreement with the WWE. Elon Musk tried to manipulate his public image through acquiring Twitter & failed—SA though…

So it turns out there was a casualty in the blackout after all—Intellivision II powers on but it won’t output video, so it looks like there’s another console going out for repair again…

Going to try & keep up with #ScanlineSunday, & like #RandomGameSaturday, my entry for the week is bit more reactionary than planned. Real Bout Fatal Fury 2: The Newcomers (Neo Geo AES, 1998) JVC AV-27230 27" CRT TV YPbPr (via HD Retrovision cables)

The Ezra Klein style of caring about political “strategy” over consistent moral principles and values of your own reminds me of how a lot of pop culture consumers obsessively track box office and chart performance rather than just evaluating based on whether things are good or if they like them

THE FUCKING SOUNDS OF ANIMALS FUCKING FIGHTING Y’ALL

I’m excited for Sounds of Animals Fighting later today; the start to Autumn is already bustling & here I am hoping that tomorrow pans out to be a productive catch-up day.

If you saw me repeatedly delete & publish a BlueSky post I kept fucking up on a bunch of times, no you didn’t.

My #RandomGameSaturday is more reactionary than random, because TGS had me feeling a certain way. Also, I’m all for emulation if playing the originals on real hardware isn’t feasible, but emulation can also be a hassle—so maybe don’t gatekeep the idea of a remake of it helps it reach new folks?

Fuck—I got to a section in Silksong where they hella “Ornstein & Smough” you & I couldn’t be angrier… My replay of the first Hollow Knight has been so enjoyable in comparison that I can’t help but really feel like Silksong changed into a reactionary sort of sequel from Team Cherry mid-development.
