Found this cool hack that combines both NES Contra and Super C into one massive game with some novelties (like stacking two of the same weapon for increased firepower). Really cool stuff for Contra fans! www.romhacking.net/hacks/9150/

Pretty sure this is a nice reference to The Shining in episode 5 of Majo to Yajuu (The Witch and The Beast).

Finished #RAGE2 on #PlayStation5 (PS4 back compatibility). Fun game, with decent shooting/driving mechanics, and a ton of crap to explore and blow up. The story is pretty forgettable though, and the weapon selection is also kinda lacking. Liked the first one better.

A SCPH-3000 PlayStation model spotted in Black Lagoon: Roberta's Blood Trail.

The artwork of #MarvelVsCapcom 3 by Kinu Nishimura. This seems to be a promotional poster which would look much better than the cover art we got. Source was really clean so just a simple upscale with some retouching applied was needed.

Finished #ShinobiArtOfVengeance on #PlayStation5. Really good game with solid combat and gorgeous visuals! It has some BS moments, especially those Ankou Rifts and some secret sections but other than that, I enjoyed it. 100% all locations and defeated the Shadow Master clone.

Reposting this as @alzandah.bsky.social makes amazing art and I feel it needs more reach. Not just Metal Gear but other stuff as well (Metroid❤️ for instance). I'd love to see his art on an official game release some day.

I'm gonna tell my kids this is Naruto.

And #ShinobiArtofVengeance for the #PlayStation5 has arrived at its destination!🥷
