Finally watched this and it’s fantastic. Alec does a great job as always breaking down a difficult topic and dropping facts. I agree 100%!

I'm gonna give up gaming, man. When I see people raving about stuff like this it feels like I'm out of touch and should just quit. Crafting, multiplayer and survival?!!? I can't think of anything worse.

Man, how the heck did 2K manage to sell their mid-2000s sports games for 20 bucks? NFL 2K5 is still crazy good. I'm genuinely surprised. If they sold that game again today but with better visuals it would be huge.

Randomly sat down and played some Madden 26 and, uh, dang...in my mind we were still at Xbox 360 graphics but this looks positively insane. I suddenly have the urge to play Madden.

I had never played Red Dead Revolver before but, dang, it's actually really cool. Great style, fun gunplay and gorgeous visuals.

Yep, he’s right on. When the console wars were raging it was legitimately stressful to publish anything comparing Xbox and PlayStation. It’s wild how heated that could get.

Latest episode is out! Would be so happy if ya’ll give it a listen!

It’s been a rough month and need strategies to recover! Someone smashed my car, family was sick and we missed the holidays, two months of working out hard (3x per week) yielded nothing, disappearing friends, politics, bad weather, headaches, cancelled visit home for April and zero motivation. Tips?

Surprisingly, Motorstorm is fully playable in 21:9 at 2560x1080 on a base spec Mac Mini. Only at 30 fps but hey. It holds its own in RPCS3.

It's kind of wild just how good and consistent Playground Games has been over the years. Love these guys. Horizon 6 looks great, as expected, and Fable looks amazing as well (and I did not like the original games all that much, so that's saying something).

This trashcan has Captain Qwark vibes

Working on the second part of the Xbox 360 special and having too much fun here with Tiger Woods. My 7ft tall 50 year old golf champion is almost ready.

Didn’t realize that Sonic 3 AIR has an interpolation mode now allowing ultra high frame-rates. Playing S3K in ultrawide at 330 fps is truly wonderful.

Man…this game still feels fresh. 5K, ultra wide, 60 fps, HDR injected MotorStorm. Just amazing to play even today. 20 years old now!

Here we go again...another week, another round of Windows 11 problems overclock3d.net/news/softwar...

What can I say but Fuck Meta. They’re killing so many amazing studios to do what? Focus on making the world an even worse place? Garbage company.

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers

What an era! #pentium2fashionshow1997extremestylecrazyspeedmmx4life

New DF Retro Super Show. @108.bsky.social joins us to discuss, in great detail I might add, the Ape Escape series. Please enjoy.

Older 3D visuals resulted in such a unique and haunting vibe that isn’t easy to recreate in the modern era. I love it.

It’s marketed as an esports display but this is secretly an amazing choice for retro style games on PC and emulation like Mame with variable refresh rates. Very impressive showing.

It’s been a good decade or so but I’ve finished A Link to the Past once again. This time, Kamigami no Triforce. Enjoyed the original, sometimes different script. The game is still a classic and one of the best in the series.

What a film! Thanks Bruce

The Office brand is arguably Microsoft's most important - possibly more than Windows itself. To rename it after this slop generator is staggeringly foolish. Honestly, it's pushed me to spending more and more time in Linux and MacOS lately to escape this Copilot push.

OK, so uake Brutalist Jam III is insanely cool. Any boomer shooter fans need to play this immediately. While based on Quake, it stands as its own thing - the architecture, level design and atmosphere are off the charts. Play it. www.slipseer.com/index.php?re...

They really let any old slop on the eshop these days huh? #hentaiballs3driseofthecurves

Oh man, I remember making this lol Killzone Shadow Fall vs Halo Infinite

I saw this pop-up and, ya know, Austin is kinda right here. The PS4 -is- probably the best deal in gaming right now. The library is huge, it's cheap and consoles are plentiful. PS4 physical games are in that 'nobody wants 'em' phase where they're mostly super cheap! www.youtube.com/shorts/XmZ64...

Rewatched The Matrix Resurrections and I do still quite enjoy what they made. Really fun, fascinating movie. The biggest miss for me remains the lack of Hugo Weaving…which alas, was down to scheduling, I suppose.

I felt like an idiot buying every single revision of the 3DS and 2DS back in the day but I guess it wasn’t the worst idea?

I'm often stunned by just how amazing Need for Speed 2015 looks even today. The visual quality they achieved at the time was truly groundbreaking - especially the integration between FMV and real-time graphics.

The final day

This is good to see. I've been driving a rental the past couple weeks (was in an accident - but just bumper damage, thankfully) and it's a VW with 90% touch driven controls. It's OK enough most of the time but if you need to quickly adjust/check something, it really sucks.

Geez, LG is making a 52" version of their 5K2K ultrawide?! The 45" one that I have is already gigantic on just about any desk. 52" is gonna be wild. The 39" is more interesting for folks, I think - it follows their older 38" ultrawides, which are a great size! www.engadget.com/computing/ac...

It has not been a great week. The wife and son are down with the flu since Monday, so we cancelled all plans - I've managed to dodge it but am looking after them. No celebration this week...and my birthday is this weekend too. Needed a serious break from work and this is not what I envisioned!

Ahh, 90s CGI

Hey, my annual GOTY video is out! This year was tricky as I missed out of a number of games I wanted to play due to travel but I still found some real bangers and perhaps controversial picks.

Oh heck yes! Also, this is just the highlights. Patrons get access to the 12 individual episodes and they're still amazing.

Man, this breaks my heart to see. The employment situation in games is ridiculously difficult right now.

This video took a while to make but it’s finally out! A lot of the capture work for Part 2 is complete as well. I’ll finish that after the holiday! Enjoy.

Really interesting results here. It seems that the largest failure point for modern TVs are LCD backlights. Either complete or partial failures. youtu.be/ot1gr-YypY4?...

Not to say this is a good thing but...does anyone here actually just work 40 hours a week and that's that? I'm not required to do anything extra or anything but it's just kinda naturally what I do. This seems like not so unusual overtime?

This game is indeed pretty darn good. Really surprised me especially considering its origins.

I played a whole lot of Doom games this year. Did a full Nightmare playthrough of Doom Eternal, which was amazing, and went through Dark Ages a couple times.

Thomas has found quite possibly the worst review I've ever read. This is truly next level here.

Can confirm - the game is now awesome on PS5 Pro. Looks like it was just a bug and has been corrected. The game is amazing so do check it out.

GOTY is tough this year because I’ve been on the road so often thus played a lot of Deck and Switch 2 stuff. I’m finally played E33 and like it thus far but no chance I can finish it to determine if I like it enough for the list.

The latest episode of the Super Show is out! Check it out.

Man, I guess I need to find time for Expedition 33. The release timing was bad for me and the reliance on bad quality FMV bothered me a lot but it does seem to be worth playing.

New Mega Man and Ace Combat announced?! Ok, that is very excellent news! Great thing to wake up to!
