These are the kinds of old comics I was using as reference Maybe with practice it’ll be more believable and accurate

Howdy, the @hg101.bsky.social podcast continues to look at JRPGs, like the infamous but kinda cool Virtual Hydlide (and also Marble Drop)! starring @x-pert74.bsky.social @frankiesamba.bsky.social @taxowlbear.bsky.social @mercurycdx.bsky.social & me hardcoregaming101.libsyn.com/virtual-hydl...

Hey howdy, the @hg101.bsky.social podcast capitalizes on the hip new trend of the day with a special patreon episode about MOON CHILD, the 90s game about a green guy in a onesie! featuring myself @bobinator.bsky.social @kaly.blackskycomra.de @shadowhog.bsky.social www.patreon.com/hg101/posts/...

Hey howdy, there's a new patreon-only episode of the @hg101.bsky.social podcast out today, talking bout the cool if very tough GBC homebrew game Tobu Tobu Girl Deluxe! Features me and @bobinator.bsky.social @kaly.blackskycomra.de @frankiesamba.bsky.social www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-...

inexplicably good ps1-era aquarium/fish music is the best thing www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaRv... (this is from an actual ps1 game called Jellyfish: The Healing Friend, music's done by long-running Japanese acoustic guitar duo GONTITI)

Going back to study the classics. #disney #robinhood

I was wondering what they meant about having an option for retro costumes for the characters in Dynasty Warriors 3 Remastered, when the costumes are already the retro ones (but in HD). Turns out it's literally just the PS2 models from 2001.

Hey you! Ever wanted a podcast that discusses both Popful Mail and an Evangelion VN? Well, check out the latest episode of the @hg101.bsky.social podcast! I'm on the Eva part with @kaly.blackskycomra.de @bonuslizard.bsky.social & @mercurycdx.bsky.social hardcoregaming101.libsyn.com/popful-mail-...

Hullo howdy, I write quite a few casual reviews on Backloggd, and I've done one for Bubsy 4D just now. It's a pretty good game. Not my cup of tea when it comes to 3D platformers, but a solid obstacle course-driven adventure with plenty of style that might work for you. backloggd.com/u/FrDougal90...

hey howdy, ever wanted to hear some folks talk about a 90s scrimblo ad game for the Amiga? well, if you're a member of the @hg101.bsky.social patreon, you can hear me @bobinator.bsky.social and @enbyeon.moe discuss one of those, starring that nesquick rabbit guy www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-...

Tekken 4 (2002 | Namco | PS2): Original Sound Tracks front, tray, and reverse art

I like to think that James named the team after his son and not the other way around. #art #StarFox

It's me Mr Invincible Guts, Muppet RaceMania doesn't make me nauseous but it is a sick game that I love and SUPERHOT is pretty sick too. Muppet RaceMania has absurdly good quality FMV on the PS1, maybe the best video has ever looked on the system.

Hey howdy, there's a new episode of the @hg101.bsky.social podcast out! Some people talk about SUPERHOT, while me @kaly.blackskycomra.de @bobinator.bsky.social @enbyeon.moe & @frankiesamba.bsky.social discuss the cool (if gut-churning) Muppet RaceMania! hardcoregaming101.libsyn.com/superhot-and...

hey howdy, there's a new patreon-exclusive @hg101.bsky.social podcast episode out now, in which @x-pert74.bsky.social @sotenga.bsky.social and moi talk about the effortlessly charming (tho effortful to play) Parappa the Rapper! www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-...

also, hey if you're a @hg101.bsky.social patreon, you can also check out this week's bonus episode where @taxowlbear.bsky.social @frankiesamba.bsky.social and I talk about the SG-1000 adventure game Loretta no Shouzou: Sherlock Holmes www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-...

hey howdy y'all, there's another episode of the @hg101.bsky.social podcast out! some folks talk about the 90s Rise of the Triad, and myself @bobinator.bsky.social @gammatron64.bsky.social and @maxdoutex.bsky.social talk about Revenge of the Sith on PS2! hardcoregaming101.libsyn.com/rise-of-the-...

Watching and doodling Doremi

Somehow, Bubsy returned #bubsy #bubsy4D

We're also talking about Star Cruiser, specifically the X68000 version, not the Mega Drive port. @x-pert74.bsky.social, @bobinator.bsky.social, @frankiesamba.bsky.social, and @kaly.blackskycomra.de were all there. I think I was there also, I forgot. I think I read a mystery magazine.

hey howdy y'all, another episode of the @hg101.bsky.social podcast is out today! I'm in it, along with cool people @bobinator.bsky.social @kaly.blackskycomra.de and @scobellsays.bsky.social to discuss @cowcatgames.com's pretty cool Brok the Investigator www.hardcoregaming101.net/podcasts/top...

hullo howdy, hope y'all are doing okay. I just posted a blog talking bout Evangelion, which I've been rewatching in its entirety for the first time 2013 these last couple weeks. Damn good show, I'm very happy to say! : ) cartoonmilk.com/revisiting-e...

Got the stupid idea last night to do a Bubsy the Bobcat sprite in the style of Earthbound (in that I drew on top of Nes' walking sprite since I've basically no experience with pixel art). I think it's pretty decent with that in mind. : )

Ended up looking up the Wikipedia page for English alt rock band The Sundays, and I love that this is genuinely how their "history" section begins.

You have the power to be his friend.... in isometric 3D!! #Moonchild #Art #Sonic3D

Hey howdy everyone, hope y'all are doing well! My latest @hg101.bsky.social article is up on the website today, looking at the rad arcade-style jumping shooter HOP TOP! www.hardcoregaming101.net/hop-top/ (Also, this is the 100th review for the site, which is wild.)

Moon Child began life as an Amiga AGA title before shifting to PC, where it finally saw release in 1997. A fascinating glimpse into a project caught between two eras. More here: www.gamesthatwerent.com/2026/04/moon...

The BROK Deluxe Bundle is selling particularly well these days! I have added the new comic book to it. store.steampowered.com/bundle/27484...

📣 CELSIUS STRAYS Announced! 📣 "Banished. Hunted. Yet, we endure." 🐀🐀🐀 Become the Chief of the Squealers and lead your people through a futuristic wasteland fraught with danger where every choice is about survival. TIME LIMITED DEMO AVAILABLE ⬇️🎮

had a thought today about Ken Macklin, the artist for the old Bubsy games. He used to do the cover art for rando issues of furry anthology comics like Critters and Albedo, and I got the idea to turn one of his Bubsy pieces into a Critters-style cover. Sorry to everyone ever.

hey howdy y'all, I just posted a blog talking about a bunch of Looney Tunes shorts starring foxes, including the likes of Tex Avery's Of Fox and Hounds, Chuck Jones' Fox Pop and Art Davis' The Foxy Duckling. All fox & toon lovers should get a kick outta this! : ) cartoonmilk.com/fox-looney-t...

Hey howdy, I forget to post about @hg101.bsky.social's Top 47k games podcast whenever I'm on it, so let's amend that lol! @kaly.blackskycomra.de @taxowlbear.bsky.social and I kick off this week's ep by talking about the amazing/annoying Trespasser! www.hardcoregaming101.net/podcasts/top...

Caught in the rain in The Frasier Companion (PC, 1995)

Leons vacation to Spain didn't quite go according to plan. First his caravan breaks down, then he gets caught in a storm, and now he seeks shelter in a village, only to discover that it is in fact a football night. Resident Evil 4 Remake (2023/PS5)

Hey howdy everyone, my latest @hg101.bsky.social article is now up on the site! It looks at Packy & Marlon, a well-intentioned but ultimately middling educational platformer about diabetic elephants. (That's not a sentence you read very often) www.hardcoregaming101.net/packy-marlon/

Talking about StarCraft alongside @mercurycdx.bsky.social and @bonuslizard.bsky.social @frankiesamba.bsky.social hardcoregaming101.libsyn.com/starcraft-an...

hey howdy everyone, I wrote an animation blog for the first time in a bit, talking about the early 70s cartoon musical Shinbone Alley. Interesting film but I don't like it very much sadly cartoonmilk.com/shinbone-all...

Be careful playing this because sometimes the dialogue will randomly become super loud and jumpscare the hell out of you. That's probably not even the worst technical issue with this thing!

also also, another @hg101.bsky.social article I did came up during the week, for Tequila & Boom Boom! It's an attractive-looking spaghetti western point-and-click adventure starring animal people, but it's sadly unfinished in a bunch of ways. One for the 90s furry adventure game fans, at least?

hey howdy everybody! I've got a new @hg101.bsky.social article up on the site today, looking at the spiritual successor to those cool Marble Blast games from the early 00s, Marble It Up! If you like momentum-based marble rolling with good tunes, here you go! www.hardcoregaming101.net/marble-it-up/

Tequila & Boom Boom, a late 90s point-and-click adventure taking place in the American Wild West but featuring cartoony anthropomorphic animals. www.hardcoregaming101.net/tequila-boom...

Feck it, have this drawing I did a couple weeks ago of Bubsy as Heather Mason from Silent Hill 3.

Hullo howdy y'all! Today's my 30th birthday, and I decided to mark the occasion by putting out what turned out to be my 20th album of music! It was made rather quickly and hastily, but I hope there'll be something okay in it. Give it a listen! jimsjams.bandcamp.com/album/20-goi...

@spacecaptsteve.bsky.social Hullow howdy, I've been on a bit of a Ty the Tasmanian Tiger kick over the last month, playing a bunch of the games and reading the pretty awesome artbooks. Have you considered doing an artbook for Ty 3 and talking about its development?

Hello, Big Mac.

Finally getting round to playing Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 3, and came face to face with the most 2005 thing anyone could put in a kids' game.

The secret is out – my authorised biography of Sir Roy Clarke (Last of the Summer Wine, Keeping Up Appearances, Open All Hours) is to be published by Ten Acre Books in 2026. Getting to know Roy over the years has been a joy and it's a honour to be entrusted with telling his story. Watch this space.
