I always got the name of the Skittles game mixed up with FromSoftware's Lost Kingdom, a deckbuilder RPG that came out the same year. It was at least a little better.

got to review Code Vein 2 for PC Gamer! a game I basically like despite how much it babe ruth points to the stands only to swing a strike lol

Depending on the role Sydney Sweeney is playing, the live action Gundam movie has the opportunity to do something very funny to Google search results

Why the hell is Discord sending me push notifications for someone *changing their status*?? In 2026? I'm sorry honey but we are never getting back the golden summer of 2004 MSN Messenger. Evanescence lyrics no longer hold that degree of raw power.

We'll have a review of Code Vein 2 on @pcgamer.com in a couple days, as PC code came in later than PS5. Hoping it's a good port.

Hello! Would you like a long, distracting read about chasing a dream, perfecting analog video, battling AI-driven manufacturing shortages, and sticking to the principle of doing right by the open source MiSTer community? Here's that

It was SO cold but the sense of community was overwhelming. Every corner had people handing out hand warmers, warm drinks, and snacks to protestors. My toes were numb and my lashes were frosty but it's nothing compared to the pain our immigrant neighbors are enduring. MN Strong 💙

NetHack (1987) for roguelikes, though the year's a bit of a cheat since it's been updated many times since then

I’m going to do one of those threads where you can read some good stuff I wrote. Those in the know are calling me “Mr. Articles”

Every day this year I have had to resist spending $1,000 on little treats for myself that I earned by waking up and turning on the computer

The Harbour Masters group behind the Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask and Star Fox decomp PC ports just released their next port: Mario 64! Here's Ghostship 1.0: https://github.com/HarbourMasters/Ghostship/releases

1981 neo noir starring Yūsaku Matsuda that I thought was just pretty good until the last 20 minutes or so, and then, mwah. Wasn't prepared for how comparatively uncool -- almost unrecognizable! -- he was from his '70s flicks. Totally owns it though.

Feeling like we should've all just called it on December 31st tbh. 2025 -- a nice round number to wrap up history with. You're gonna tell me "2026" doesn't sound fake as hell? Let's stop kidding ourselves

Armature was founded by many of the core Retro folks who made Metroid Prime. A shame their one big original game, 2016's ReCore, didn't quite land. I'd love to see the alternate timeline where they got to make their own stuff instead of dying because Meta decided to put its VR money into AI.

Our next big project is live! @lewisgordon.bsky.social spent the past few months tracking down nine people who worked on DICE's innovative 2008 parkour runner.

ah. well, nevertheless

New issue! I have now played Quest 64 in ~HD~, which I'm half convinced only happened because @quest64official.bsky.social shitposted it into existence.
