Went through Mega Man 8 (Saturn version) for the first time tonight. Still fun, the two added fights were enjoyable, had some slowdown but that could be the emulator (not sure). Started up Saturn RE1 right after, the models are bugging me but it's still decent so far.

My wife was mad that I never watched Anaconda before, so tonight we watched the original and the Jack Black one. They were both okay. I'm not a fan of most of the humor in the new one, and everyone acted like an idiot in the original, so it kind of evens out.

I don't normally post stuff about my YouTube channel on here since it's all just longplay stuff, but since it just came out if anyone is interested in Smash It Wild (strategy volleyball game) I have a video of all three championships beaten. youtu.be/bmiga7AafL4

Watched Ghosts of Mars last night for bad movie night. Kind of surprised that there was never a tie-in game, feels like it would have worked well as a shooter or survival horror or something. Have a little meter that if it reaches the top you become possessed, sterilize rooms to stop infection, etc.

Beat the ZOIDS game made by the Bloody Roar devs tonight. I went into it with no knowledge of the game itself or the anime, but it was still pretty fun. More like Pokken Tournament than anything else, my only real complaint is that 75% of the roster has to be unlocked.

One of my friends informed me that they're making a new T.R.A.G. game, completely out of left field for a new entry almost 30 years after the original but I'm certainly interested. store.steampowered.com/app/4612870/...

Ended up beating Smash It Wild tonight. I'm a big volleyball fan, despite being awful at it, and it was fun to play through and beat all three cups. It ended up being more puzzle game than tactical volleyball (if that makes sense), but still enjoyable. store.steampowered.com/app/2432240/...

What’s everyone’s favorite Pokémon from gen’s 1-4 respectively?

I think I mentioned it before but since I stopped taking a medication (Amlodipine) I've started having dreams again. Not a fan. A. It means my sleep study during the time I was taking it was a waste of time and money. B. My dreams have just been guilt trips lately, a lot going back to my hometown.

Watched "The Suckling" last night as well. Why the fuck would you open your horror movie with a text crawl stating that everyone dies besides one character? Even if I didn't already know, it was pretty obvious who the survivor was. Makes you not care about the other characters (even if they suck).

Watched "Q: The Winged Serpent" last night for the first time. It was bad, and I knew that going into it, but I wasn't expecting it to have one of the most obnoxious main characters ever. I feel like the movie wanted you to like him by the end, but I was just hoping he would have been eaten instead.

Up waaaay too late tonight because I was playing Diablo for PS1 and banging my head against the wall trying to get through the final floor. Those acolyte jerk bags are the worst. Wouldn't be bad if they weren't always pelting you from off-screen. Oh well, it's 3AM and I work in 5 hours. Worth it.

Watched Predator 1&2 yesterday. Always odd that people portray them as honorable hunters when 75%+ of their kills are sneak attacks and camouflage without the victim knowing where they are. Feels more like rich kids going big game hunting and shooting a tiger from yards out to me.

This solo dev is making a farming sim where the town is starving, and relying on you to avoid collapse -Revive a dying farm -Survive nightly attacks from demonic entities -Keep a pittance and divvy up the rest It's called Besmirch. Would you play this? store.steampowered.com/app/3670630/...

Made the mistake of making a RetroAchievements account. Went back and tested it out with Bonkers for the SNES. Just wanted to say again that SNES Bonkers is a solid game. We don't talk about the Genesis version, though. (Boring-ass Crash Bash before Crash Bash.)

Beat RE7 again tonight. I don't hate it as much as I used to, but I still don't particularly like the base game. Played the End of Zoe DLC after though, and that was enjoyable.

Hey everyone! Mystery event starts in ~2.5 hours or so from now, so feel free to come check it out later. Everyone had a week to learn the games on the schedule, selected at random! Here's the schedule: horaro.net/mysteryspeed... Here's the channel: www.twitch.tv/junkyard_dave

I made a collection PlayStation samples. Already in the PS1's VAG audio format, and loopable. 100% free and hand crafted. Enjoy! #psx #playstation #psxdev #gamedev soundfontguy.itch.io/sfgs-psx-sam...

Beat Outbreak File 2 again last night. The final stage was brutal, first time took me like an hour and a half and I died at the end (trying to escape), then the second time I failed the escape and barely beat Nyx (allies dead, 80% infection). And this was on Easy. Maybe I'm not cut out for games.

Bah. Trying to DM someone today and BlueSky is just being BlueSky and disconnecting me partway through. Maybe they'll get their act together soon.

Speedy!

I think this one is just a matter of timing, I read the manga in high school as it was releasing in the US and really enjoyed it. I probably wouldn't have the appreciation for it if I read it for the first time now. The anime is amusing (the first episode is not my favorite) and I enjoy the comedy.

Took the day off to get a CPAP mask refit appointment done, ended up sleeping through everything besides the appointment itself and lunch after. So much for being productive with the rest of my day. Oh well.

Finished Resident Evil Outbreak again tonight (on Easy, I'm not grinding that solo). Playing it online when it came out is still one of my favorite gaming memories in general, not sure how I'd like it in the age of Discord as that'd remove the lack of communication barrier. Still a fun game.

Finally beat Enchanted Arms again tonight. Now I need to find a new RPG to play while I'm walking on the Wii Fit board. I'll figure something out.

Finally remembered to post some of Jada Toys Street Fighter shots I took a while back.

After going through RE2&3 this weekend I'm about halfway through with the RE games for the new project. Interesting to see how an eight-year difference has affected some of the positions. I might try to focus more on those over the next few weeks and finish the series.

Went through RE2&3 remakes over the past few days. Still both great games, those two and the original REmake are delightful games. Really wish the rest of the modern series were like those, but I know that things have to change. (Well, they don't, but Capcom wants them to.)

Behind on my rankings for movies this week (still went through 10 of them), but tonight I watched Dredd (still fun) and Carrie (fucking miserable). I get that Carrie isn't supposed to be a pleasant movie, but I wasn't expecting absolutely everyone to be a shitty person. Oh well.

Finished Final Exam (Obscure series reboot, from what I understand), and it was pretty fun. It feels structured like a beat-em-up version of Left 4 Dead, and I think that concept could work. Unfortunately the game isn't particularly good, 8 stages but a lot of repeat areas so it feels more like 4.

So I have some small adjustments to make, but I've been keeping track of all of my ranking project games this time around and adding them to a separate spreadsheet that has a list of games from the NES to the Vita/Wii U. Going to try and hit 3% by the end of the year. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Release in 3 weeks! #indiegame #indiegames #steamgame #gamedev #relaxinggame

A local MN trivia company had Mario-themed trivia tonight. A little on the easy side, we ended up tying for first place then won the tiebreaker, but still enjoyable. I think we missed like...two or three questions.

Finally got a copy of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 and went through it tonight. It was fun, I know people were unhappy with the removal of 4's exploration, but I actually like it better as a "standard" THPS game. Being old means I cringe at some of the bail video's falls through, looks painful.

In 1983, Kenner released "Chewbacca's Bandolier Strap," essentially a sash that doubled as a carrying case for Star Wars figures. This was, as I discovered on multiple occasions, not considered high fashion by most.

Disappointed that both Arthur! Ready to Race and Batman: Gotham City Racer both lack the one word they have in common for their single-player mode. Neither game has an actual race. Maybe there's something in multiplayer, but I just went through 51 race-less missions. Just "go here in time limit".

I've seen the cover for ages now, but I finally got around to watching "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka" for the first time last night. It was fun. I'm sure there was a lot I didn't get culturally but it seemed like it was less teasing parody and more appreciation parody, if that makes sense. I enjoyed it.

Went through Woody Woodpecker Racing for PS1 tonight. If you think Mario Kart 64 is bad with the rubber banding, this one takes the cake. I often had to intentionally fall back to get the lightning equivalent just to save it for the final turn, had COM flying by at top speed at the end too often.

Hey all! About a week left to sign-up for the mystery event (feel free to sign-up for our NES marathon as well). Information & Submissions: linktr.ee/twitchevents Channel: www.twitch.tv/junkyard_dave Really appreciate retweets/likes!

Watched Event Horizon again tonight (still good), Prototype X23A for the first time (awful garbage), and Dark City for the first time (a fun watch, wasn't expecting it to turn into an anime at the end). 2 fun movies out of 3 is a better ratio than I've been getting lately, so I'm okay with that.

Playing the PS2 Biker Mice from Mars for the first time. I only watched some of the original cartoon, I had no idea that the villain during this later era was Ronaldo Rump. It's just someone doing a Trump impersonation with an accent that would make the crew of Family Guy embarrassed.

Had a weird dream where I was at a convenience store in Michigan (for some reason) with my wife and they had loose Lifesaver Gummies for sale in a small box. They were selling them 50 for $1.80, and I was picking through the box individually for 50 (gross). Long story short, I bought a bag earlier.

This has been in my head for months now

@normalsyndrome.bsky.social The question has been answered. I would much rather watch a shitty representation of Dragon Ball that's just a bad movie (Evolution) than a bad representation of Dragon Ball that's just a shitty movie (Magic Begins).
