I wonder what that ex-TV guy I used to see blackout drunk at every industry event I went to 20 years ago is up to these days

Found the MAKE file for a lost NES game...but none of the actual data it's looking for. If I have to be teased by references to lost files then so do you.

Alexander wept for there was no more lost media

The last two games I played are MIO, a Hollow-like, and Esoteric Ebb, a Disco-like. I think I'm becoming a "genre reader" like my gramma who only read romance novels.

We do the coolest shit and I have the coolest job

Ok everyone! All together now!

This is the take I keep coming back to. NVIDIA is going to vomit on itself to impress shareholders and that's fine, that's what corporations do, but I'm hurt by how much Digital Foundry has lost my trust over this. It feels like the worst parts of "access journalism," it's PR disguised as reporting.

MISSING! HELP! I am looking for the playing card deck from GDC 2020! It was printed but the show was cancelled. I have heard rumors that they gave them away but I've never seen one and no one on GDC staff has a set. I'm in it and want to complete my set! Let's bring my card home! To me!

Processing a collection and it includes the source code and build tools for "Bubble Bath Babes" on the NES. This feels like something stupid my brain would have come up with in a dream. This shouldn't exist anymore and it shouldn't be on my hard drive and I shouldn't be able to look at it.

dont fucking ask him anything dont tell him anytthing

This year's GDC is what made me become the joker

Adam Baldwin was literally *the* guy who named GamerGate and made it go viral. It was just some loser 4chan/incel YouTuber shit before then. They spammed him to get his attention because they knew he’s also a psycho loser and they wanted to make it go viral, and he did it. And it worked.

I stand by this

I've been saying this for a while: Bullying CORPORATIONS is good and works. Bullying a regular person who bought in - even for a moment - to the LARGEST, MOST AGGRESSIVE MARKETING PUSH IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND is probably going overboard. It sucks. It is likely to suck for some time yet to come.

Gaming Alexandria is our load-bearing pillar for access to Japanese scans and hubz is the hardest-working guy I know in game preservation, so I'd really appreciate it if we didn't destroy him with a dogpile over his vibe coding project please. Show some empathy and grace if you disagree with it.

WE’LL BE LESS ACTIVIST IF YOU BE LESS SHIT

Looks like the opposite to me, right boys

It's Bandcamp Friday and a nice thing you can do even if you haven't kept up on new music is to go buy the soundtracks for recent games you've enjoyed

I can't stop looking at this signature. This is someone who has rejected all of the norms of society and forged their own path.

Sometimes I want to start a "depths of VGHF" account

If you come at us you better come correct

So far we've raised $735.69 for Trans Lifeline! Entering hour four of the mix about to work up to clubbier and bassier stuff. Stream link and donation link in the quoted post!

Trying to actually browse Next Fest makes me feel like I'm about 800 years old, just thrown into a pool of endless white noise I don't understand that makes me want to turn off my computer and read a book. I can't believe this is what the Steam client is actively pushing people to look at.

that’s actually a mistranslation, yoko taro isn’t directing the new evangelion, he’s piloting it

I'm cruising through bad DOS games with a scanline filter on so let's all appreciate this #scanlinesunday shot of Scott "Cyclops" Summers not knowing how to open the door to Murderworld, mere seconds before I changed to a different game

glistening cherries of the week

I need you to know that Sub-Zero shows up in a later routine involving Kung Fu Panda and Deadpool

This is going on now!! Perfect chill hangout on a Saturday.

I don't know where else to post this so I'll just say it here: The two Capcom Disney games in this eBay lot are intentional forgeries of prototypes. They're retail games that have stickers put on them with fake weathering/aging, and product codes that make no sense. I have handled these in person.

I urge you to stop what you're doing and watch Alysa Liu's free skate from yesterday. I have never seen anything like this. I understand why sports writers are born now. I have never seen anyone as free from the burdens of this world as this pierced Oakland girl spinning to Donna Summers.

I need you to know as someone who lives in Oakland that this lady is making all of us beam with local pride

I don't normally comment on stuff like this because I've given up on understanding this business, but I'd have to think the remasters Bluepoint was known for are maybe the closest thing we had left to a predictable business model?? I get that everything is volatile but that part feels pretty safe???

@gdri.bsky.social prototype of Videomation credits Avi Arad?? Do you know anything about this?

"Poison Ivy, the hot woman with no heart" this should be her official tagline

I just got a Batman tomagotchi from the 90s. So far all he does is pace around nervously, do pushups, and think about Batman.

“Get in, loser, we’re going to hell”

Displaying Team USA Olympic figure skater Ilia Malnin on a CRT brings out a lot of the artist-intended details that get lost with pure pixels, this is why so many of us retain vintage hardware

Brand new footage of the Virtual Boy debut in 1995. It would have been cool to include these non-interactive demos in the Switch release! People love squinting at the Super Mario one!

If you haven't been watching the Olympics, this kid dresses like a vampire, wears a practice shirt that says "quad god" because he can do quadruple spins in the air, and the music he skates to has his own voice dubbed on top reading his angst poetry. He's wonderful, I'm really glad he's here.

The clap before he winds up is incredible

Was Blue Prince as good as it was because of our vintage magazine subscriptions, where 100% of the proceeds benefit historical video game preservation? I'm not saying yes, absolutely, but I'm not NOT saying it. the-video-game-history-foundation.myshopify.com/collections/...

Blue Prince creator Tonda Ros subscribes to our retro magazine blind box so I said hi at D.I.C.E. yesterday. He was like "I keep waiting for it to be a Nintendo Power," and then paused and was like "Don't game the system and send me one!" which is just beautiful, that's exactly who I'd hoped he was.

I have this weird habit where I white balance images that come across my timeline, it's a nervous tic, it's like my digital fidget toy
