If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/cop...

When doing reverse engineering, it’s good find code that does something you understand. That’s why I search binaries for naughty words. Why? Many games prevent you from entering SEX or XXX on high score screens. I've now catalogued various types of censorship... 32bits.substack.com/p/what-you-c...

Our friend Mr. Frederickson lost his battle with terminal cancer over the weekend. He'd worked for a year to translate the sequel to his favorite Sega Saturn RPG "Mystaria: The Realms of Lore" but passed it to others in his final days. His story: www.segasaturnshiro.com/2026/01/19/f...

ZONE (yes, that ZONE) ported Daytona USA to VRChat! I take a look at this love letter to SEGA fans — and ZONE talks with me about the long journey of making this happen. www.segasaturnshiro.com/2026/01/02/z...

Sega Saturn alert!! Someone casually spent five years making a complete first-person shooter for the Saturn and basically shadowdropped the thing more than a month ago. The Saturn scene is just now finding out about it. Looks incredible!! Vigilant Paradise from Playnautic! youtu.be/lXw2VcJDEVU?...

Join me at 0400 UTC (2100 MST) as I work on a very late Christmas game. www.twitch.tv/emeraldnovag... #GameDev #SegaSaturn #homebrew #gaming #retrogaming

Our friend and well-known Sega Saturn community member Mr. Frederickson could use help with his medical bills. He's been terminally diagnosed with stage 4 synovial sarcoma, a rare type of cancer. Please consider supporting the GoFundMe that his family and friends set up: gofund.me/fa589a248

I implemented a circular buffer on the second SH2, allowing me to queue procedures that the second CPU processes one after another without my intervention. Here it was previously running at 20 FPS. Video recorded on a stock Saturn #indiedev #segasaturn #retrogaming

Why are 90% of video game "analysis" videos just summarizing the events of the game with some lady jokes peppered in for an hour?

We have started a fundraiser to help our brother & friend Mel (Sega Lord X) & his family. Mel's sister is battling cancer again, and his mom has gone broke doing all she can to fight it. He did NOT ask us to do this, but we have to help our brother out! ♥ www.paypal.com/donate?campa...

"In a landmark study, OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limits." www.computerworld.com/article/4059...

The quest generation algorithm can now also send the player to fetch items from dungeons 🦇 #gamedev #indiegame #rpg #roguelike #madewithunity

We are looking for new games to try out and possibly review. We would love to meet new developers who are creating video games for platforms such as PlayStation One, Dreamcast, and Sega Saturn, in order to test demos and discover what’s out there in the Indie Retro Games world.

Hey, BlueSky has bookmarks now, so bookmark this post with a link to our website! We keep up with all the latest news about the Sega Saturn, plus we have up-to-date resources on NetLink online play, a translation patch index, cheat codes and more! www.segasaturnshiro.com #sega #saturn #segasaturn

reminder that MasterCard and VISA are very okay with processing payments for guns and bullets, just not a video game where two fictional people fuck.

If you're tired of corporate and all of its abuse, bring clippy as a friendly reminder to fuck off. Put the sign in their face and make it your profile picture; I'm tired of corporate molesting our rights.

Didn't know Zone was cool like that.

Itch's new content policy is: 1. We can't tell you what violates the rules. 2. If you violate the rules, we take all your money. Not just the money from that work, ALL your money from EVERYTHING you've ever made. I don't care how much of a smol bean Itch is, this is not a viable platform.

New Fenrir (Sega Saturn ODE) is up on pre order and it’s only 50€ shop.fenrir-ode.fr/product/fenr...

Tale as old as time: *Three different names in three regions *Average review scores *Early in a system's life when it was starved for RPGs *Still has lots of people who love it because average games are for normal people 🙂

I’ll leave my 02/13/25 warning right here and say it again. IF you aren’t up to date on ALL vaccines, get them NOW! With Measles still raging, you can add, get titers if you had your MMR in the early 60’s. Not all vaccines had live strains back then.

XCX:DE, probably never again.

Please join me as I review each entry to this year's SegaXtreme Saturn Homebrew Contest!! Live premiere starts at 1:00pm EDT. Thank you to all who submitted entries, and to Dr. Emerald Nova for hosting the contest. The "secret entry" will be revealed in this video. youtu.be/rRsrGok_JNU

Newly scanned from us: an ad from the trade magazine Videogame Advisor (November 1995), which has Sega vainly telling retailers not to support PlayStation, right after the PS1 famously undercut the Sega Saturn Basically the game industry version of "please don't put in the newspaper that I got mad"

Just finished Xenoblade Chronicles X DE. The ending feels a bit forced/unearned. I get they are trying to tie in the same high level plot and themes from the main trilogy, but it comes at the expense of the stuff they built up in the original game.

Hey. I'm gonna be real. To all the rich VAs saying "this strike needs to end" because your bottom line is starting to hurt: Suck it up. Those of us at the bottom who have a hell of a lot more to lose are running Uber Eats etc to make it through this. The strike will end when we get our deal.

I am aroace. I am not aQuest 64. There's a clear winner here.

This whole week online
