Here's another round of my Pop'n Music inspired sticker series! his round features Eliza from Tekken, Honey/Candy from Fighting Vipers, Kyosuke and Edge from Rival Schools, and the first batch of Arika's characters as they appeared in Street Fighter EX: Blair, Hokuto, C. Jack, & D.Dark! #fgcartist

This is something that I feel people don't talk about. The packaging for Lunar is one of the most stellar things about the game; they made the release feel like it deserved all the time they spent making it, and it's a huge part of why people go to bat for them (justifiedly or not) to this day.

I don't agree with all of this, but I think it's an important thing to be thinking about. I see it already happening in games where people are slowly recognizing that the AAA space just feeds us slop - I hope we can realize it for all culture soon.

If any one of you pays for this I am never letting you live it down. We gotta get those viewership numbers down as much as humanly possible.

Tobal No. THREE???!!!

This is how it feels to play Quest 64 on a handheld

Since May, I've handed out 64 CDs to Sailor Moon tournament winners. I'm finally running dry, and I have one more after today's batch. Come play Sailor Moon tonight to win part of the last two batches in Music Lucky Dip!

in this house we stand for the pledge, believe in the "under God" and salute the flag

Never thought I would feel fortunate to *not* own a house, but it's definitely keeping me from spending $1260 on that Stegosaurus right now.

Therapist: right to left katakana isn't real, it can't hurt you Right to left katakana:

ahead of every tournament, I always say- remember why you play. play because it's fun. play out of love. it's the best thing for our souls, so try to remember it as much as you can.

Okay not going to wrap this into the other thread but OH MY GOD THANK YOU'VE BEEN FUCKIN SAYING THIS lol in like 2010 we were getting think pieces like "Should games even have bosses? Are bosses jusr ARCHAIC DESIGN??" and now somehow they're the only parts of the game people think are real.

pros of rhythm games: fun cons: you will become insufferable about framerate stability and input polling frequency for the rest of your life

The ultimate Sega Nomad - the box From 家電のケンちゃん

Got like 30 gigs left of space on the MiSTer. Give me good Saturn games. I know and trust that the people who follow me know what those are.

The Super Mario 64 source code lists names for Mario's footstep sounds. The list starts off normal but becomes poetic with names like "Footsteps in the Fallen Leaves" and "More Than Anyone Else in the World". It turns out the names are actually taken from a 1994 dating simulator.

This passed almost entirely without notice, but the 1978 arcade game Block Fever was preserved for the first time and added to MAME. This was Nintendo's second arcade video game, and as far as I can tell the only Nintendo game that had not previously been preserved www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaWr...

Remember when UE4 just had ~4 frames of input lag baked in as a treat, Epic didn't notice for years, and everyone blamed Capcom and Bamco for it?

thinking about this screenshot from Columbo that makes it look like a 90s point-and-click adventure game

My 16-bit video chronologies are now fully represented (at least until we hit 1991) with the arrival of Turbo Works, a series that will operate under a single unifying premise: "This system was so good, and it sure got totally tripped up by every imaginable setback in the U.S." youtu.be/4s9SVjnsyn8

back at it again

People pointing out that this is flawed are sort of missing the point, and sort of not. This is the first definition I've seen for games categorization that is *not* vibes-based. Is it an abusable and sometimes meaningless metric? Sure. But it's based on data, not ~vibes~.

Amazing: This Miyamoto is considered an Essential Worker

special cancelable C buttons are insane apparently

I had never seen DragonGod before and I am definitely impressed by this Shuutai. Praying for the rollback rain to fall on us so we can have even better sets.

What a dominant reset! DragonGodDM69 is your champion for Koihime Enbu at Vortex Gallery Online 2025. Congrats! #VGON25

I'm commentating #VGON25 Koihime with @omnirabbit.bsky.social, hop in! Expect footsies and loud gong noises. twitch.tv/vinushika

Going live with Koihime Enbu now on twitch.tv/vinushika! The gong will ring, but will it ring for you?

This is the core of Super Mario Strikers.

Development files for Yoshi's Island reveal that Yoshi was originally meant to have a human voice. Lines for transforming into his various forms, including unused ones like Tree Yoshi, have been found.

Ricki does it again! Reception of work is so often *just* out of your control, but you gotta make the stuff you like anyway. Weird smut, horror stories, embarrassing sculptures, cringe music, just do it anyway. Maybe you'll find an audience, maybe you won't, but you're doing it for you, right?

After years of struggle, Stephen King became Stephen King™. Unsure if his success was a fluke, he made up a guy to see if lightning would strike twice. New post is up about Richard Bachman, the struggle to feel like you're good enough and my own experience getting struck by lighting.

I was so happy to see this grand finals. Two players that have devoted their life to this game finally seeing it pay off thanks to quality netplay. What a beautiful game. Thank you everyone for sharing this time with us.

happy 20th anniversary, samurai shodown 6

Guilty Gear: Victorious featuring the Green Roman Cancel, coming 2028

....was Guilty Gear Xrd called that because there was three colors of Roman Cancel (RRC, PRC, YRC), and then Strive had four (BRC, PRC, YRC, RRC?). And, wait, XX had two when GGX only had one....... My brain is exploding right now
