Tonight on Retro Lunacy 2019: An interview with @zachhighwind.bsky.social ! Then I continue to make fun of fascists and capitalists, get chided by my own Game Gear, then race to the defense of the good timeline's Earth by playing Space Invaders on SEGA Saturn. Be there! At 9pm EST.

@segasaturnshiro.bsky.social @pandamonium.bsky.social do we know what happened to the giant SEGA Saturn and controller prop from the Segata Sanshiro commercials?

Since American Thanksgiving no longer means anything to me (I doubt I'll see any of my family), and because I want to rebel against the fat white ass of Santa and the consumer culture frenzy in his wake, I'm doing Second Halloween. Who's with me?

An alternative thumbnail that almost got used for the Castle of Illusion video. It was fun to be a witch for a night ;)

My review of Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is published: youtu.be/lsn-u1hBGoY

I can't remember who made the joke about trans folk taking over Pennsylvania, and naturally then renaming it Transylvania (it is funny). I was thinking about that today and how much easier it would make it to find a date; cis folk have just been a big ol' disappointment in that area this year.

My next SEGA Genesis conquest for the channel will be Ecco the Dolphin. I hope to join Ed Annunziata's list of peeps who have completed it the old school way.

Mickey Mouse and I return to one of my childhood rentals on Halloween, Castle of Illusion! youtu.be/mnIT4oT-OU8

The latest Xbox Game Pass commercial is a hilariously inept attempt to cast shade on retro gaming: 1. Cartridges have lasted longer and are more reliable than most Xbox hardware 2. Blowing on carts is not how you fix them (don't do it) 3. Playing on a PC in the kitchen? I guess if you hate yourself

Basic meme generators are retro now.

Objection, Birdman! youtu.be/6PAH8SqXilI

Tonight on Retro Lunacy 2019: I play Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law on Nintendo Wii, make fun of Limited Run and Ebay, and continue the explorative time capsule of classic media. Be amazed at the show, where the jokes are old, and so am I! Airing at 9pm EST!

This is like the OutRun 2019 episode I did last year, but on hard mode and with a better angle of my cleavage. Yeah, you're welcome. youtu.be/bjyx87xhCcA

I did take a few photos before filming my Star Trek episode. I will do more in this costume again. Not quite visible in this picture but I did have Trill spots and no they did not stop on my face. ;) I'll try to remember to share others like this, but more will go up on Patreon.

*I'm not going to,* however, it is exceedingly difficult to not give up altogether on sharing my creative work and attempting to build a niche audience. Capitalist upbringing tells me that every project I've ever done has failed, and it's hard to deprogram from that way of thinking.

For those who missed it over the weekend: Activate Vector Disco! youtu.be/OhsK-FB2Ehk

Be prepared for some serious Blast Processing, as this weekend on my channel I'm featuring VectorMan 2 in full 16-bit disco glory. :) Goes live at 9pm EST on SEGA Saturday.

Make #bringbackvectorman trending. @sega-west.bsky.social New Era, New Energy needs some Vector disco!

Spin to win, baby. That's you, a winner, if you watch my channel. Also cute thumbnail for the lesbians out there, I know you still exist. youtu.be/9WlqiaNeuWw

As one of my fellow creators on Youtube once said, "don't tell people you're quitting." As in, no need for drama, if you're leaving a place, just leave. Well, that's I guess the story for me and Twitch. I'm finally disconnecting my home from the internet tomorrow, so that is the end of live streams.

While there's still time, I think it would behoove us to create as many archives/libraries, et cetera as possible that are not connected to the internet and have not been touched by generative AI. *I would like to be wrong,* but I suspect if things continue as they are we will need those libraries.

I'm quite certain I've been algorithmically blacklisted on places like Youtube because of my anti-fascist, capitalist-questioning opinions, and also for being LGBT. I also refuse to be perpetually online. So the viewership and support I do get is appreciated. Keep circulating the tapes.

The cliffhanger is now resolved, and Star Trek TNG on SEGA Genesis is finally conquered, more than three decades since I first played it: youtu.be/havJufjTxP8

Coming next on my channel over the course of October: Retro Lunacy 2019 meets Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law The finale of my Star Trek: TNG SEGA Genesis playthrough, filmed as a lost episode of the TV show A Shinobi: Art of Vengeance review Themed Mega Drive music mixes And more!

Why yes, I did in fact base an episode around a coloring page: youtu.be/ON0CypBQJfA

Melt ICE, not the icecaps.

We're on schedule this time! Retro Lunacy 2019 episode three, "Turtle Power Coloring Time," will premiere tonight at 9pm EST on my Vectrextube channel... Youtube to those of you in the bad timeline. My channel was never meant to be 100% about video games, so those of you cool with that, check it out

More ridiculousness: youtu.be/NZPdQVkMZXM

For those perpetually online justice warriors who like to say "I would have saved Jews during WWII," well, now's your chance, except this time you need to stand for non-white immigrants and transgender people, as in, yesterday. Ready to put your actions where your keystrokes are?

I'm back on the wagon (is that the right use of the term, who can say) with exercise and getting Chun-Li legs. How am I doing? Also yes I may have seen a certain other Street Fighter character do something with a lollipop and thought I'd give it a go. ;)

Did I start my own retro media/talk show/science fiction story? Yes. youtu.be/v4B9uMawnCA

Retro Lunacy 2019 premieres this Sunday at 9pm EST. My country is cooked, my future in this timeline is over, but I can still use my imagination to explore strange new timelines, dimensions, and what should have been, while playing old video games and making art in defiance of the genai culturerot.

In case you missed it on 09/09: youtu.be/gYen7BIvxUQ

I'm not looking at/interacting with any videos, photos, posts, or streams about Metal Gear Delta. Remake culture is toxic, this release's existence is offensive to me. So if I don't watch you play it, it's not personal.

I'm filming a few more videos for Patreon tonight. You can join for as little as a dollar if you want to be in the little community I'm building. With my new job in place, funds from fans who back me is as much to go toward future necessary surgeries for me as it is maintaining the channel's gear.

Xeno Crisis on hard on Mega Drive = done. Next goal is a full no miss clear. Maybe I'll save that for the Dreamcast version.

I've been more active on Patreon and doing more exclusive/early access shenanigans for supporters. I've opened up tiers as low as one dollar. It all gets reinvested in the channel in equipment and cosplay for your entertainment on the show. :3 Please check it out: patreon.com/jessicasretrolunacy

In the good timeline, there is only USB-A, where the U still means Universal. The inventors of other ports all had cats who jumped on their keyboards and deleted the blueprints before they were saved, and then those people went on to solve real problems. Tiny USB ports can go straight to hel.

My friend is back from drydock repairs over at @jeffsretrogaming.com and is ready to get Mega Driven once more. youtu.be/rUoYlB12R64

Another #virtualphotography favorite of mine from the archive, a cute shot of one Commander Jessica Shepard.

Oh look, another extremely unnecessary remake is upon us (Metal Gear triangle). Because you know, the original masterpiece is only available in HD with modern camera controls on every major supported platform. Oh wait. In five years gamers will be crying that Delta isn't in 8K. It's never enough.

Since I got to talking about virtual photography, I went looking through my archive and figured I'd start sharing. I did a lot of shots in Skyrim, this one was a visual ode to Opeth's The Night and the Silent Water.

Powersliding in snow, let's gooooo youtu.be/O_CqFIz1dX8

I like Daytona USA CCE, no I'm not sorry.

Because the images were too high of a quality to use as Youtube thumbnails. Hah! Enjoy the 1995 Celica rally car tearing it up in Gran Turismo 7. Also I used to be a virtual photographer as a hobby but that'll probably be replaced by genai soon too.

Can we do it, folks? Can we rescue Gran Turismo 7 from being drier than a Griswold turkey? youtu.be/l4KsMkqK46M

I went and gave Gran Turismo 7 a bit of personality: youtu.be/Z5_9H3inIYw

1/3 "The internet" for me has been whittled down to: my Youtube channel, my Patreon page, and the occasional moment I spend here. That's all I have the fortitude for. I technically still have my own personal website but it's on ice as I figure out what to do with it or to even keep it at all.

The world is a better place because of MST3K.

@optimstie.bsky.social It wasn't my first time watching it (more like my fifth or so), but viewing "Hercules Vs. the Moon Men" with its extra Deep Hurting last night was good medicine to take while feeling kinda sick. The Bob Villa joke is a sidebuster every time.
