I’m pretty sure no other game will ever mean as much to me as SF2. 🥲

Thread. (TLDR: the House of Lords DCC report on AI came down hard on the correct side of the debate, rather than siding with industry lobbyists.)

When I dumped the Unreleased Japanese version of Burnout 1 PS2, unaware it never came out in Japan, I left it in my “non-priority” prototype pile for nearly a year When I finally revisited it, I realized it was a important build👇 www.sega-dreamcast-info-games-preservation.com/en/unrelease...

When East meets West. That Bob Wakelin art wins in this case. Those Colours.

Sometimes you just have to go with it…

It costs $0.00 to uninstall that Big Tech browser you’ve always used and switch to a European browser that has no AI and doesn’t collect your data. 🫶🏻

Pretty much everything I ever wanted in a Metroidvania. Spectacular game, and it looks great on CRT. 👀

Happy 26th birthday to the #PlayStation 2! One of the greatest RPG consoles of all time, this insanely popular system sported a wonderful variety of titles with improved graphics and sound capabilities. Which games were your favorite?

A moment please, to appreciate the majesty of the SFC Arkanoid box art. 👀

A bit of Super Tetris 2 last night. Probably not the last word in Tetris but a definite comfort food game for me. 🙂‍↕️

Most of the footage of the famous 2000 "Super Mario 128" tech demo was recorded with handheld cameras by the audience, with the presenter drowning out the game sound. Only 10 seconds of direct feed footage exist, which reveal that the sound was a cacophony of Marios screaming.
