Well, sorry, I did my best to trim it. Full version on tumblr www.tumblr.com/compactdisci...

Whoops, that last video I queued up for @cd-i.bsky.social didn't post because bsky is the only one of the three sites it crossposts to that caps videos to 180 seconds. Can I trim this.......

New blog post time! This week's game is Radirgy de Gojaru!, the bite-sized Japan-only 3DS entry that's based on a mode from the Xbox 360-exclusive Radirgy Noa Massive. Such an odd approach didn't earn it any favors at the time, but I found some fun in visiting it now and laying out all the details:

Sorry I've literally only been posting about Cookie's Bustle today. True bustleheads get it

In celebration of Cookie's Bustle Day, I'm breaking the entire protocol I've been setting up behind the scenes and, I suppose, officially launching my VOD channel. Please enjoy a full stream of the English translation for Cookie's Bustle: Mysterious Bombo World. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxKd...

I AM THE MIRACLE GIRL

Cookie's Bustle: Mysterious Bombo World (Rodik, Mac/Windows, 1999)

now seems like a fantastic time to mention that while all of the dmca shit was going down, someone put out a fully playable english translation of cookie's bustle! even runs on modern windows (as long as you install quicktime v6.5.2, which is not what the game comes with)! cookies-bustle.net

Cookie's Bustle: Mysterious Bombo World (Rodik, Mac/Windows, 1999)

BREAKING: We've freed Cookie. Following an investigation by VGHF, Ukie and Web Capio have suspended DMCA takedowns for Cookie's Bustle on behalf of Graceware, SL. More info:

Today's research question: does someone from outside the English-speaking world having an English-language Wikipedia article mean they're actually a known figure, or does it just mean they have a single dedicated fan/did the person write it themselves

It's been 4 years since the release of the original Perfect Tides. I wrote down some feelings about it on my blog: meredithgran.com/perfect-tide...

my political analysis is that many things will happen in vancouver politics this week, but it will likely not involve a councillor calling his opponent a drug dealer, apologizing, the mayor congratulating the apology, only for video to surface of the mayor making the same claim two weeks earlier

Wow, we're finally actually doing it www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/b-c-adopting-year-round-daylight-time-9.7111657

Came across a weird new-to-me kind of object at the thrift store. 45 RPM single with a handwritten label, "take 5" after the song title. I looked it up and it seems this is from a studio that did direct-to-vinyl lathe cut recordings of live performances.

I was reading a Geocities page I found on One Terabyte of Kilobyte Age and stumbled across a review they wrote of a friend’s Klik n Play game from the 90s? It really is a small world out there

Anyway! Segagaga's packed with heart, humour, and humanity. It's a guttering candle in the night. A defiant middle finger. A rebellious peek behind the curtain. A fond farewell. An honest record of mundane troubles. A wonderful game: kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2020/07/25/s...

Most annoying aspect of this site not having an edit feature: if I ask a question, and then get an answer, I can't just edit my post to say it's answered. I can reply but most people won't see it, or I can delete and leave all the replies orphaned. Not ideal.

Whoa, this week's Vibe Consultant was a live set by Tsushimamire?? You *definitely* want to hear this one www.3cr.org.au/vibeconsultant

OK, this is a longshot, but: have you ever run the 90s version of the FirstClass BBS server *or* did you use it back in the day? I'm trying to figure out if something is a standard feature and could use feedback from someone who might know.

While it took a village to make it weird 😜 I’m so grateful to get the opportunity to speak about the Telefantasy aspects of @blippo.plus + the backstory of my studio & collaborators youtu.be/zmvlXIzO9K8?...

The Making of Black Dahlia has just started its premiere. Lots of cool trivia and a lot of shade thrown at Dennis Hopper. 😋 Come watch with us: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjaL...

Das Boot (1981) is a movie about the boot

"The 45-second film, made around 1897, was the first appearance on film of what might be called a robot" HELL. YES.

Sample comments from Virt's My Favorite Thing (1999)

This is an extreme longshot, but if there's anyone out there who owns this physical CD (or any other CD in this series), please reach out. I need your help with something. www.discogs.com/release/3654...

Looks like it's possible to disable the iWork 15 upgrade nags if you want to stick on the pre-subscription versions for now: gist.github.com/Terabyte1385...

Seeing people talk about how overpriced the Pokemon rereleases are and realizing I've absolutely got to sit this one out as someone who paid like $65 for the Dodonpachi Dai-Ou-Jou rerelease. Cautiously eyeing the stones from inside my glass house

Wow, gem.coop just launched a namespaces preview. They’re on a *tear* launching new features! gem.coop/updates/5/

dist 0.31.0 is out! This includes a new feature that lets you specify static file hosts as a file hosting option, along with additional customization options for npm packages and non-Cargo projects. github.com/axodotdev/ca...

I saw blue links on wikipedia looking partially faded, and I was wracking my brain trying to figure out what the heck was going on, until I remembered I had @everest.bsky.social's "Desire Paths for Wikipedia" installed

I'm open for work again! I'm looking for interesting opportunities; want to work with me? My experience includes web archiving and digital preservation, devops, and internal developer tooling. I'd love to put that experience to work for you and your team.

this was a bit of an adventure; have a blog post https://drac.at/posts/2026-02-22-netbeans-and-java-and-distrobox-oh-my/

ROMchip publishes high-quality, scholarly-quality research on game history! Last year, they even commissioned an English translation of a history doujinshi titled "Why Do 2D Games Usually Go to the Right?" (translated by @devilrei.bsky.social and @onemillionpower.com) romchip.org/index.php/ro...

OK I know why peolpe are focusing on Caves of Qud, but the Paranormasight sequel is the #4 top selling download game on the Switch eShop right now? That's *wild*. I know the original did well but this one seems to be doing *really* really well.

I really do enjoy hyperlocal food reporting. This Old Forge-style pizza actually sounds pretty good! Don't think I'm going to Old Forge though uncoveringpa.com/old-forge-pe...

I’m particularly proud of my latest addition to my website about the game Kosmopolska: A complete English translation of the game manual. kosmopolska.neocities.org/ManualEnglish

I feel like if you have to say "standard features of your browser won't work", you've made a mistake in your design and should go back to the drawing board?

New dist release! This contains a few minor bugfixes and also updates some dependencies. Of note: * Fixes multiline scripts in custom build steps * Improves upgrading installs on Windows when installed from inside a POSIX shell github.com/axodotdev/ca...

That digital release was also a very shoddy localizaton that removed most of the game's dialogue. I'm hopeful this is going to be a fresh localization, or at least something that adds back all the missing stuff.

the recent Steam version of Karous must've done well off the rip, because RS34's bringing Radirgy Swag to PC on March 4: $11.99/¥1800 for the game, $6.99/ ¥1000 for the soundtrack https://store.steampowered.com/app/3179820/

Oh my god. I stumbled across people trying to sell Game Doctor SF7s on eBay for like $250+. Are these collectibles now…? Are they worth actual cash money? That's wild.

Such is the life of a librarian...
