Always picking the best games for showcases

excited to see what tonight's exciting new episode of "Oops! Wrong Depot!" brings

when I wake up

One of the weirdest platform differences I've seen

In San Andreas, Maccer appears outside of the cutscenes in Don Peyote, and neither him or Kent Paul have voices beyond the scripted dialogue lines. However, Maccer actually has a set of lines that went unused, since they were not assigned to his model name!

"Hey guys I did a little bit of farming off camera"

HUH

Lumen and the like are all the rave now, but with some effort, you can also have raytracers on the PS1

Tfw you're too slow de-Discordifying your favorite game's modding scene, and a big YTer links to your mod requiring a step you never made a public guide for

really stupid joke i came up with during my Tales of Destiny Director's Cut stream last night

traditional #commission for @jacksolotl.bsky.social 🎨!!

I wonder how that line reads in the german translation, cause the word "glücklich" already works like that, kinda. it transliterates to "lucky", but in most cases it means happy, except when it means lucky

I hate the way he has this weird skin strip between his eyes now.

It seems like Pokémon Pokopia is using really aggressive DLSS or something lol. It's a good looking game, but occasionally, particularly when going into a menu, the resolution drops like fucking crazy like look at how pixelated it is in this screenshot I grabbed.

The game uses this really cool key frame system that makes entities animate at a different rate than the overall framerate, basically like animating on 2s, but it makes the ghosting even more noticeable as Yoshi's position jumps more per frame of animation than TAA solutions are designed to handle.

Using tinyDLSS for a game with manually keyframed animations like this just gives horrible ghosting because due to the animations not updating every frame, there's no continuous motion vectors to reconstruct the image from. So you get super obvious disocclusion artifacting. Baffling decision

Here's some others

Golding this was a complete fluke but I'm really proud of it. This test is evil

Theme of "Nissan Micra"

What does the game actually expect you to do in this mission? There is zero gap to pass so it's like you're *intended* to ram the other car and take the penalty ...And if you can't beat the bigger Mercedes, you can always drive suitably...

He's like if Geronimo Stilton killed guys. "Goodness me!" type guy

WHAT RIDGE RACER FULL SCALE NOT ONLY HAD ITS GRAPHICS ROMSET DUMPED YEARS AGO, BUT SOMEONE'S DOING *THIS* WITH IT

The autocaptions are rough but there's so much cool stuff here. Mentions of cut graffiti textures, the method of deferred texturing, the driver's face in the Full Scale Eunos Roadster being a dev, concept art, working titles being "Texture Drive" (likely before SimDrive) and "Winding Road"...

That picture of the incomplete cabinet design with two Famicom controllers soldered to the board for debug input and a road unseen in the final on the screen is surreal

WOAAAAHH THAAAT'S NOT WHAT I SEARCHED FOR, YOUTUBE... HELLO????????????

Like this

THAT'S why the "Gathers Drider Civic" is called that? *Really*?

No More Heroes 1 Travis is insufferable but it works well for that game. In Desperate Struggle he's just annoying and then NMHIII and TSA Travis is my wibble gagobears.

Old Venturing- Old GhosthOlding (1925)

its always the fucking needle just a few days ago i was having a PTSD episode about the automattic CEO taking over here, and within MINUTES the needle staff appeared in my replies they proudly boasted that inflammatory triggering content gets them "the most clicks". fuck them, do not share

I remember thinking Godfall looked cool. It's got a little Warframey sauce to the armor designs these other games don't have and the environments look cool

nemesis is so funny conceptually. the ultimate bio-weapon. an undefeatable hunter. millions of dollars of research from the most evil corporation on earth. its target? a specific division of a single local midwestern police department

“Yoshi was arrested upon landing in Paris.”

i'll keep you updated as i go. he took one corner pretty fast and was like thats enough speeding for me. my friend being hunted to death will probably be fine

This gets funnier the more I look at it. The "hit" off the water bottle. The "add a degree of urgency." The extreme hydration-weirdo tough-guy specificity into the hilarity of the final image It is perfectly in character and may be the funniest bit of prose ever written

Wait a minute lol...so Sega reused their own art a few years later for this title screen

Shoutouts to its appearance on the little arcade area from House of the Dead Overkill's Carny level; I still remember being "oh shit" when I saw it. (sadly the PS3/PC versions had other games instead)

Arcade space war powered by LASER DISC! A third person rail shooter, Astron Belt (Sega ,1983) was the first laser disc arcade game. After making a splash in Japan, its US release ended up delayed due to hardware and software bugs, leading Dragon's Lair and others to beat it to the punch.

the AVNJ (angry video name jerd)

sigh *installs*

just gave my mono CRT TV stereo headphone output, haha. well.. it's a headphone jack from another TV that gives you a choice between TV sound & routing it directly from source (SCART cable) whenever a 3.5mm jack is plugged in. best to plug that into a sound card or something first. meanwhile:

not all SCART on TVs was RGB. Funai (Sylvania) had SCART in their 20" but ignored the RGB lines, so you'd get composite anyway some companies adopted it more than others: had SCART: Samsung, Philips, Sony, euros no SCART: LG, Sharp, Panasonic (only seen a couple with SCART but i'm not in EU market)

The least shocking thing ever is learning DOGE used chatGPT to identify which grants were “DEI.” It is critical to understand that LLMs are an authoritarian technology meant to win the millennia-long war on critical thinking and art. They are a right wing wet dream.

what are we thinking chat? Mazda RX-8 won from Izzy or the rawr-full Ford Mustang GT?

a shot from Need for Speed Underground 2 on Wii Nintendont, CRT. it's a magazine mission where you need to position your car for a good cover shot. thought it looks as if it could be right out of the game. also, did you know GameCube NFS U2 is the only console version with unlocked framerate?
