Sadly adding a new tickmark to a whiteboard labeled "Halloween seasons with no Arise 5"

Haro Gundam be like

Another Android update, another three shit ass mobile games it tried to sneak in. Not today, fuckface

Back when I played a lot of PangYa with the boys, sometimes I'd listen to the soundtrack from this when I really needed to lock in

They're all the TempleOS guy now

It's not truly a complete collection until they add Pyst

I prefer to think that @slowbeef.bsky.social is somehow responsible for the Elvira games being added to this.

Can H.R. Giger biomechanoids be considered badniks?

Just remembered these vampires from 1973's Vault of Horror whose fangs look like rolled up tissue paper.

This is 3rd in a series I call “hey wouldn’t it be fun to do Castlevania covers with some Mignola flavor”

ALL NEW ART! PSWAP #82 - SUPER CASTLEVANIA IV (1991, SNES) art and concept by your pal Rusty

When you get a chance to put Retsuprae in a museum exhibit, you put Retsuprae in a museum exhibit. Thanks for signing our Dark Seed all those years ago, @slowbeef.bsky.social!

I wonder how the real life Mike Dawson is doing these days

Don't mess with this guy

Shawn Attacks confirmed

Yearly reminder that you can still play complete versions of both the Caverns Game and Castle Quest from Caverns of Blood here: bloodycaverns.net

Wow, The Protomen Act III is being released. I was starting to think I'd never see the day

listen i love curry throwing skeletons, skeletons on motorcycles, skeletons that rider kick and so on just as much but skeleton jump rope is something i want to give more attention to

"Jimmy Fallon? The only thing he should host is a parasite." -Mike Stoklasa, 2016

The Deus Ex Remaster instantly calls to mind @kayin.moe's post on the "toyification" of remaster graphics.

Still lowkey annoyed that Arika went with Fighting EX Layer instead of Fighting Layer EX. They really threw having FLEX as their acronym into the trash for no reason.

Hey @diabetus.bsky.social and I are now romancing

Two 80s icons united by their hatred for balls

"Manosphere"... you mean this thing?

All these retro revivals and still no Captain Novolin: Re-Dosed by Nightdive Studios announcement...

Me: "Boy, this semi-obscure game sure is hard, and there's not a lot of information out there on it. Oh, maybe if I check the GameFAQs board for it!" The only topic: "I claim this board!"

I begrudgingly acknowledge why ads have to exist, but why do they have to be so cringe? Is anyone in the universe fooled by those fake ass ads that pretend to be influencer videos where they tell you about some worthless product?

I'm so smurfed up

Crunchyroll started as a piracy website that would steal the work of fansub groups and lock it behind paywalls, which caused Fansub groups to literally encode messages during the "Brought to you in part by these sponsors" segments, warning viewers that if you paid for the subs, you got scammed

When Simon Belmont knows about the critical hit bug

Can't help but wonder if the Owl Knight and Waiter Skeletons in Castlevania are cheeky little references to the NES Castlevania clone 8 Eyes. Most likely coincidences, but you never know.

Even though I do know what Cold Fear is, I still can't help but always picture it as an alternate version of Deep Fear where you throw warm grenades instead of air grenades.

I was trying to find a video demoing an old chess computer recently, and one of the most viewed videos of the topic was from a chess-specific ASMR channel where he just kept rubbing the board.

Zillion mentioned

Probably Colossal Cave Adventure? I've played older games, but that's probably the oldest one that actually has an ending that I've gotten to.

Might've been Ecco: The Tides of Time. The first game had a very gradual buildup to the aliens, but I didn't have that one at first, so it startled the hell out of me when the sequel just dumps one on you in one of the first levels.

Good to hear they're not going to just throw the old release in the trash, as so often happens.

My groggy brain read this as just "The next Tales of Game's..." and thought that there was somehow a Barkley Gaiden announcement

A common response to this that always baffles me is, "But there's so many! It's so confuuusing" as though you can't just look it up on Wikipedia in five seconds lol

I wonder how difficult it'd be to edit a bunch of Smurfs footage from the 80s cartoon into a spoof of the 28 Years Later trailer using the reading of that "Boots" poem...

Getting caught by Nintendo emulating an obscure NES release and being sentenced to 10,000 years of listening to Nintendo YouTubers try to pronounce Japanese names.

I have never been more targeted in my entire fucking life
