Kimimi rocks and you should read their articles if you have an interest in retro gaming of any kind (and sometimes retro like modern games)

...or you could wade into something spooky with my Resident Evil articles instead! I've covered original games, remakes, Game .com and Famicom demakes, Sweet Home... kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/resident-evi...

UGH I amd vibing with an artist who does covers of old classic game music and I go to their artist page to see more... and EVERY SINGLE ALBUM has AI cover art... fuck off, I will find what I need from someone who cares.

it's really interesting to compare enemy pathing/patrols in classic wow and wow retail, Blizzard was incredibly toxic about this in vanila lol, enemies will patrol so far to ensure you can never go afk, they wanted you locked in all the time

I had the pleasure of reviewing Tokyo Xtreme Racer for @pcgamer.com! Come take a look (then make sure you buy the game) :D www.pcgamer.com/games/racing...

it's still so weird and cool to me that a reletively edgelordish and kind of rubbish game like x-kaliber 2097 and a kind of mediocre band from Canada put together one of hardest soundtracks to ever touch the SNES using and inspired by a remix from one of their EPs, I think I've made this before.

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

Any advice Tom has on making indie games is worth listening to, but I really want to highlight his thoughts on price point - it's well explained. I do think that the movement to get indies to charge more mostly just hurt new indies - with fewer players, fewer/worse reviews, and lower sales.

I don't know who needs to hear this but the reason you do not hear any changes when a DJ presses buttons is not because it's fake, it's because the tracks are on a delay so the DJ can work on the track ahead of time.

that feeling when you see a game that should appeal to you and the people it does appeal to swear its so amazing but when you try said game it is dreadful? like irredeemably bad and you wonder how people can enjoy it?

boo fucking hoo, lets ignore all the dumb shit that is e-waste and focus on the stuff that makes life actually more livable.

Beware: It's GOTY season

it is "Interesting" to see a bunch of smaller tech youtubers suddenly telling people not to buy the 9800X3D for gaming not because its overkill (which can be true) but instead recommending horrible non gaming intel cpus... suspicious.

ok every issue with my account should now be resolved, you can now reply freely.

@kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com are you finally able to reply to this account now? if not just post to me directly outside of this post, but i think it will work now.

I doubt anyone saw it because the events were on my other account @miriya.bsky.social but in an attempt to solve an issue ever since I switched to the blacksky pds with some people not being able to reply to my posts I locked myself out of everything for a couple hours lol.

@rude1.blacksky.team fun fact, in an attempt to furnish the email with the correct information I found the old migration info and password which worked... now I will update all my info rofl.

@catgirlfingies.quest LLM psychologist lol what a joke of a human.

Perhaps an unpopular opion and am absolutely saying it because I see a lot of discussion about it but I am not against AI art because "A human did not create it" I genuine do not care, my issue is art theft and envirnmental, also I dlslike people trying to use capitlism to attack it.

it's very interesting to play classic wow with people who swear retail wow is terrible only for them to whine about a million things that are annoying in classic which is EXACTLY how retail got the way it is, death by a thousand cuts (I like retail btw but it's a different game)

It's interesting to me that people claim they want more high quality adult games but whenever a big studio tries it (regardless of result) they are scrutinized to a MUCH higher degree not just by the haters but the very people asking for it resulting in everyone who would do it pulling their punches

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

Fuck all the way off.

I was adviced to remove the factory feet from my mouse I had just bought to replace with ones for glass with my glass mouse pad but I gotta say the ones I bought are a little on the low side and sometimes I wonder if they might be too short.

seems like all the "Darling" devs are using AI and trying to hide it until after they get their sales and choice awards.

Here's a thought fuckers, maybe don't be fucking awful and you wont have this fucking problem, signed one of these kids. (not literally one mentioned)

ever since they announced the new game I've seen a lot of people talking about how horrible both 11 and the upcoming 12 look and I just don't see it? yeah they lack that charming pixel art style of the past but if you put that aside I think 11 and what we've seen of 12 are quite lovely?

I dismissed this game despite loving Vampire Survivors but this trailer has kind of turned me around on it, love the art style.

I swear Nightreign of all games is one of only a few games I have that mentioned an update to it's unity integration to fix the vulnerability, they only use unity for their external content but a few games I have that do this just silently updated it.

so not only is Silksong one of the best indie games of the last decade getting a dlc next year some time but it's free? damn.

stating the obvious but they had to break search engines so they could sell us something worse.

@docseuss.bsky.social all this is making me wonder what you think of Armored Core?

I have bitched about this in the past on both here and the other place but I "Love" how remastered in music just means someone normalized it to be louder, the enshitification of music is also a thing

Listening to the Shadowrun SNES soundtrack atm for like the 10000th time, it is absolutely a 10/10 soundtrack.

speaking of Steelseries I think they are the only one of the big brands that does a light weight MMO mouse.

Yes the mouse seems fine now, as a result of their bullshit I used a tool to edit the memory only profile and will not be using g hub anymore, was bad enough when they added AI but this is fucking awful.

the geniuses at Logitech updated their already garbage software and now my G502 is seemingly not working at all. I suspect it's running into an issue with SignalRGB but the functions that Signal uses are disabled in the logitech software this issue seems to be from them turning it back on.

What I have learned about Prime 4 is that there is enough of what I want there that I will still happily buy it even if it's now what I would have preferred.

I see the no remake discorse is at it again and I think it misunderstands to fundimental things, some times you have a game with some great stuff that new players could really enjoy with maybe some updates IMO that is great but also we as individuals cannot be the only decider in what games are made

Despite everything I am mildly upset that I forgot Prime 4 was out today and did not budget for it, I hope the people who are hype for it enjoy and I also hope it is not as bad as the people who are not hype for it think it will be.

some people get big mad when you don't like a game they like, especially if it's not the reason they agree with

@kayin.moe oi lol

so first major thing I do not like about the Logitech G502 is that the scroll wheel is inclined to go backwards very easily in the smooth mode and WAY too hard to move in the notched mode, I wonder if it gets easier over time?

saw a thread about this so I thought i'd explain a bit because there is a lot of mixed info about this, if your car does not have a block heater it might struggle to start in the cold but warming it up AFTER it starts serves no purpose unless you are running it at a high rpm.

Unpopular opinion Wow Edition (not a thing) Warriors are absolutely a blast to level in Classic wow people are just bad at it.

12 days to go! :D store.steampowered.com/app/3843520/...

@elementalamber.bsky.social seperately... specifically blue box (Kraft Mac & Cheese over there and Kraft Dinner here) is one of my never changing comfort meals, I have made it so often that apparently I have learned how to make it better than normal lol.

If you're thinking "I'm never going to play this, so what's the point?" - I want to show you something special, and I want you to enjoy your time reading about it too. Come see my sidequest struggles. Let me tell you why the characters are fun and battles are exciting. Let me share this with you.

I am sure someone else has pointed this out but for those who do not know almost all zerg rushes end with the death of the zerglings.
