cursed with the mental illness of empathy

some shots from various unfinished gameboy games! mostly VNs just because the walking around parts are less interesting lol these have never seen the light of day before!

Three ladies, one Dracula. That's straight porn, as far as I'm concerned. A hundred ladies, one Dracula - straight porn.

neural pathways directly connecting areas of the brain dedicated to Max Payne 2 and Heroes of Might and Magic 3 just because both used the same sample library for their OSTs, so now every time you try to remember one game the other one also automatically pops in your mind

bad times for a nosy bitch who enjoys checking up on everyone's likes but also tries to dodge deltarune spoilers

it uses AES-ECB (lol), no IV; only firmware files from >2020 are encrypted, but those firmwares will *only* accept flashing encrypted firmware. With this, everything to make my own flasher is known, so hopefully soon no more relying on MakeMKV.

proud of myself for having just enough self-control to not impulse buy any games on this year's steam summer sale

Software is alive in 2026 - Redump's homegrown dumping tool "redumper" just got an unoffical cross-platform GUI frontend that allows you to stim during (or instead of) dumping by spinning the disc graphic among other things github.com/Deterous/Red...

Nice to see the full version of the concept cover that they tore into pieces as "screenshots" for the game's entry in an upcoming products brochure, same one where they also said that Deus Ex will use "Quake II Unified Engine Technology" archive.org/details/eido...

Lots of fun things on this one, like higher-quality Anachronox art and assets from the cancelled Saboteur game. Plus higher quality art for Omikron/Nomad Soul too! And of course many others.

As a huge New York Style Hot Dog fan for years, felt compelled to recreate the poster in a high resolution and managed to find the original photo used in the texture Many thanks to folks from VGPC for help with identifying blobs, especially Prominos and TBemme bekoha.github.io/yakuza/New%2...

These Dead Rising DVD covers came up in a conversation again, so I took a thorough look and realized that I actually recognize one of the photos that they used, and when I came to my senses after blanking out for an undetermined length of time this was on my screen

I was looking at fake movie posters from the Yakuza series, and something clicked and I realized that I know exact photos they used for these, and sure enough, those were street photos of head references from www.3d.sk (links to specific photos in the alt text)

This is my absolute favourite spot in all of Half-Life 2. This old stone drainage tunnel intersecting with newer industrial sectors. Couldn't tell you what the place is actually supposed to be, but it's nice and vertical. But, more importantly, it's just a little off and creepy.

getting slightly annoyed every time i see people say "emulation" when they mean "piracy" and specifically sharing roms and piracy is awesome and based actually

our glorious preservation vs their wicked piracy

time to apply a shady crack to my legally bought copy of a primarily-singleplayer game with servers that's been defunct for 10 years because the publisher removed the ability to switch their shitty launcher into offline mode as people with limited internet access do not exist nowadays so fuck me ig

More Inkscape practice for fun, unsolicited logo for @rib.gay's OmniDrive firmware for MT1959-based drives that allows dumping of Nintendo GC/Wii and Xbox/360/One/Series discs on PC among other things

shoutouts to when sega went to make a reprint of Sonic Heroes on PC in 2010 and used a cracked EXE by scene group RELOADED, noticed the signature in a hex editor, and instead of zeroing it to disguise the origin they replaced it with dots since I guess they were just looking at the ASCII view

Happy 30th to Quake 1, the game whose tech continues to power both commercial and free games to this day, be it directly through one of the countless direct engine descendants or less directly through engines that just so happen to look exactly like a derivative at a glance

Happy 30th Anniversary Quake!!! heres one of my fav ads for it lol

In case y'all haven't kept up, Redump now has a new home We're still in the process of getting everything settled, Dolphin and CleanRip and such will have to be updated to fetch the latest dats

redu.mp also exists as a shortlink, <=6 characters maps to a discID, everything else is a search (i.e. hashes, or just anything), I'm still working on adding features like OpenGraph support, if y'all have any requests lmk

did the 9 steam games thingy

Watched Jurassic Park 1993 for the first time in my life and I'm astonished that no one has ever tried to adapt it into either an officially licensed videogame or just merely inspired one

"we used to be a proper society" but it's about the landscape tools they had at their disposal for making Red Faction: Guerrilla in 2008 (video snipped from Kelly Snapka's portfolio)

Love at the first sight, one of the games I replayed in full the most amount of times, probably second only to Half-Life 2. Definitely helped that every contemporary review, formal or informal, advised to turn off the in-game objective markers as the very first thing.

Raphael Colantonio, Harvey Smith and some of the creators of Dishonored have started a series of commentated playthroughs, 14 years after the release! So I decided to try it on Steam Deck. Dishonored was a huge emotional aid at a very difficult point in my life, and for that I’m forever grateful.

none of you people are talking about the fact that you can sorta make custom levels for psychonauts 1 thanks to @jill.scrungus.club

kinda bleh on this one as made it just to get it out of my head and it made negative views, but might as well post for completeness sake
