Anytime I think about a few specific late 90s anime or industrial music in general I am hit with a Proust-level flashback of the Manga Video trailer that contains the entirety of KMFDM's Ultra

Fucked up, we all know the correct way to watch Ninja Scroll is late at night on an nth generation VHS bootleg, the volume one notch above mute and your finger on the Source button at all times

US Manga Corps 1990s commercial voice: This IS your parents' cartoons, actually.

I have to credit @emotion-engine.bsky.social for calling it "a modular synthesizer but for text". Anyway here's a craigslist synthesizer ad generator. textubes.paulstarr.dev/s/2o044b0q

Really grappling with what this means for Sonic CD, both in terms of the space optical media gives a soul and how Sonic will cheerfully end his life if the player leaves the controller idle for three minutes, reclaiming his agency and giving the player a Game Over in the process.

Not to Discourse but I spent a huge chunk of yesterday thinking “Oh, it turns out Mewgenics was real after all. Also, uh, they really did stick with that name, huh!” It may be great, but literally the least I can do is never know because I’m not giving someone money for a game called Mewgenics!

It's incredible that both EA and Activision started in no small part to both honor individual contributors to the game development process and expand what people thought was possible in the medium and it took maybe two decades to turn into (waves hands)

Urban legends state there was a purchasable modem. Maybe it plugged in to the weed compartment?

Once again thinking about columbo villains dot com, the only website where you can buy throw pillows and t-shirt dresses with the pictures and last words of the villain from every episode of Columbo

Do you ever think about how much Tolkien, a curmudgeonly conservative career scholar who accidentally invented modern fantasy as an incidental byproduct of his passion for exploring the evolution of language and cultural storytelling, would fucking hate everything that he inspired?

Something you don’t see discussed a lot with American PS2 nostalgia was the absolute stranglehold SOCOM 2 multiplayer had on Gen X dads. If you had opinions on David Lee Roth vs Sammy Hagar, this was your Halo.

11 years ago says da web

people online are always talking about wanting to go back to "PS2 aesthetics" yet I don't think they truly understand that such a desire must inevitably coincide with and include a revival of big beat

It was the girl reading this

Shook to the core by this warning tag I just found on my luggage

I forgot how annoyed Snake looks during Ocelot’s entire Wild West show, just thinking about how he can’t wait to shoot this form with 20-30 tranquilizer darts the entire time like a father checking football scores on his phone during a child’s dance recital

It’s 2001. I am purchasing Dragon Warrior VII day one only to bounce off of it 40 hours in. It’s 2016. I am purchasing Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past day one only to bounce off of it 40 hours in Its 2026. I am purchasing Dragon Quest VII Reimagined day one only to bounce off of

It’s a theme week. Tomorrow Garbage Ape is going to show up with a chest piece that reads BRATTY BOTTOM to the rapturous applause of the alley cats

I updated my methodology and found that despite having almost four times the amount of Goku, Sparking! Zero actually features significantly less Goku Density than Dragon Ball FighterZ, where one out of every four characters has some amount of Goku in them.

A dear friend of mine getting into miniature painting asked me to print him some Star Wars miniatures but neglected to request specific characters. I am unfamiliar with Star Wars outside of the 70s comics and the 25 year old PC games, so I naturally went with what I assume is everyone’s favorites

When the edible has you spending 30 min workshopping a joke about Taizo “Dig Dug” Hori being unsure if he is more mad at his therapist for probing about him being an absentee father or that they used the phrase “let’s dig into that” to do so.

My brain knows there is no way that the Mega Man composer heard an early REM song that was then only available on bootlegs and thought “I am going to make an all-time banger that sounds exactly like this” but my heart wants to believe.

My hobby is finding the most random & cool-looking untranslated RPGs and going "hell yeah!"

New blog post time! This week's game is Elfmania, an Amiga-exclusive fighting game with impressive visuals and some of the weirdest gameplay ideas I've seen in the genre. Playing solo probably isn't going to end well, but put this in your mystery tournament or something and you're cooking with gas!

I made a tool that makes retro anime sound effects. Meet AnimeVox! I made it for a game, but it's free to use. I'm using the forgotten (but popular in 80s japan) Schroeder reverb algo, and some wobble. If you find it useful consider supporting me on itch :) castpixel.itch.io/animevox
