Schedule: Wednesday, 12-4pm GMT-6 -> Tecmo's Deception: Invitation to Darkness for the PSX Thursday, 12-4pm GMT-6 -> Evolution: The World of Sacred Device for the Sega Dreamcast Friday, 12-4pm GMT-6 -> Neuromancer for the Commodore 64 Catch me live @ www.twitch.tv/thegamedesig...

Okay, looks like we're preempting Mines of Titan... for some reason the DOS version only supports PC Speaker sound and I'm not going to deal with it. So for October, let's do some Tecmo's Deception: Invitation to Darkness. Schedule will be updated.

I'm feeling a bit exhausted today. Not too bad, but bad enough to where I think I am going to delay the start of Mines of Titan until next week. Starting a new game fresh takes a certain amount of energy and today I don't feel like I have it. Otherwise; have a wonderful Wednesday!

Superhero League of Hoboken has flown their last mission. To replace our Wednesday game we'll be moving on to the IBM/PC version of Mars Saga, which was named Mines of Titan. www.mobygames.com/game/1242/ma...

After finishing Project: Space Station in frustration, we'll be moving on to the video game adaptation of William Gibson's Neuromancer for the Commodore 64 next Friday! www.mobygames.com/game/687/neu...

Schedule: Wednesday, 12-4pm GMT-6 -> Mines of Titan for MSDOS/DOSBox Thursday, 12-4pm GMT-6 -> Evolution: The World of Sacred Device for the Sega Dreamcast Friday, 12-4pm GMT-6 -> Neuromancer for the Commodore 64 Catch me live @ www.twitch.tv/thegamedesig...

Saying you are against anti-fascism is the same as saying you are for fascism. Just saying.

Changing my deep retro PC game. Roadwar 2000 didn't work out, so we're ending it early. The replacement: Project: Space Station from HESWare. Developed by Lawrence Holland of X-Wing fame. www.mobygames.com/game/23319/p...

Schedule: Wednesday, 12-4pm GMT-6 -> Superhero League of Hoboken for DOS Thursday, 12-4pm GMT-6 -> Evolution: The World of Sacred Device for the Sega Dreamcast Friday, 12-4pm GMT-6 -> Project: Space Station for the Commodore 64 Catch me live @ www.twitch.tv/thegamedesig...

You can't 'talk' your way out of someone who thinks they know better trying to exert force over you. You punch them in the jaw and make them know that they might think they know better and you can't change that, but you can make them know that exerting that force will be ... difficult.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-fv... Having just played through Earthbound, I would wholeheartedly agree. Very few soundtracks make you want to just sit back and vibe. This is one.

www.youtube.com/post/UgkxT5V... I hit 300 subs in the last few days. I wanted to say thank you to everyone who watches ... everyone who has been even the smallest part of this community.

I've been spiraling all week. It was my reason for missing yesterday's stream. I will almost certainly not be streaming today. I'll still try to make my Friday Roadwar 2000 stream, but at this time it's impossible to promise anything.

There is no sane reason why I should be told by any 'news' outlet that a company decided to rebrand itself and there are people who are upset over it. That's not news, it's an airborne transmitted lobotomy.

The world if we had all massively adopted the Dreamcast:

Schedule: Wednesday, 12-4pm GMT-6 -> Superhero League of Hoboken for DOS Thursday, 12-4pm GMT-6 -> Evolution: The World of Sacred Device for the Sega Dreamcast Friday, 12-4pm GMT-6 -> Roadwar 2000 for the Commodore Amiga Catch me live @ www.twitch.tv/thegamedesig...

Looks like to replace Phantasie III, we'll be going with the Commodore Amiga version of Roadwar 2000 by Westwood Associates. I thought I'd give the C64 a rest for the next two SSI games. www.mobygames.com/game/1728/ro... Pinned schedule will be updated shortly.

Busy week. We finished Phantasie III, and for space filler that day I played some Realm of Impossibility. Classic C64. Also started two new games, Superhero League of Hoboken, and Evolution: The World of Sacred Device. All released this up comming week on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@thegamedesi...

Today I felt so bad all day that while I was napping, I dreamed that I was getting sick.

One of those rare weeks I have two games end at the same time! Thursday's game will be replaced with ... Evolution: The World of Sacred Device for the Sega Dreamcast! www.mobygames.com/game/9349/ev...

I've decided to go all-in on Retro. Replacing Wednesday's game will be... Superhero League of Hoboken (1994) for DOS www.mobygames.com/game/1559/su...

Schedule: Wednesday, 12-4pm GMT-6 -> Superhero League of Hoboken for DOS Thursday, 12-4pm GMT-6 -> Evolution: The World of Sacred Device for the Sega Dreamcast Friday, 12-4pm GMT-6 -> Phantasie III for the Commodore 64 Catch me live @ www.twitch.tv/thegamedesig...

I took Wednesday and Thursday off due to not feeling great. I will still definitely be streaming today with my normal Phantasie III. I have finally settled on the games that will replace Monster Sanctuary and Earthbound. I'll make separate posts with the information on those...

Can you just imagine? I have brain cramps just thinking about it...

Another week of video processing behind me. For those that missed our new live show of Phantasie III: The Wrath of Nikademus, I strongly suggest catching it as it premiers on our YouTube next week: www.youtube.com/@thegamedesi... I've been excited for weeks to start it and so far it's been great!

Phantasie III is such a different game than I and II. You can tell there were many optimizations made, and mechanic changes that made the experience much more pleasant. That being said, the first couple levels of play were brutal, and I can see why I never made it far with no ability to save scum.

Schedule: Wednesday, 12-4pm GMT-6 -> Monster Sanctuary for PC Thursday, 12-4pm GMT-6 -> Earthbound for SNES Friday, 12-4pm GMT-6 -> Phantasie III for the Commodore 64 Catch me live @ www.twitch.tv/thegamedesig...

Looks like I failed at finishing Phantasie II, and I'll be moving on to Phantasie III this next Friday. If you like retro CRPGs, please join me this Friday and every Friday until we finish or fail. Schedule Updated. www.mobygames.com/game/9548/ph...

I know it's not a lot. People working full-time jobs do well more that I do... But at the end of the week when I get all my video processed and scheduled on YouTube, I feel accomplished.

Pretty sure Stan S. Stanman from the Monkey Island games was greatly influenced by Kurt Russell's character from Used Cars. They even have the same jacket. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtQJ...

I try to keep the bulk of my posts about games and gaming, but given the current climate, I'd feel bad if I didn't share certain types of content that I think is beneficial to the public. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfI9...

I wish I could determine if I am feeling good enough to stream on any given day *before* I wake up. Otherwise, I'd just skip the step of waking up.

Spending the day doing my review of the MAONO PD300X microphone. Should have that done either by the end of the day, or tomorrow. I intended on starting it yesterday, but ADHD and my weekly video rendering/uploading process had other plans.

Forcing myself to work on my first batch of shorts. This is such an affront to my ADHD.

Am I the only one who doesn't get rhubarb? Looks like red celery. Treated like a fruit. Wut?

Updated schedule: Wednesday, 12-4pm GMT-6 -> Monster Sanctuary for PC Thursday, 12-4pm GMT-6 -> Earthbound for SNES Friday, 12-4pm GMT-6 -> Phantasie II for the Commodore 64 Catch me live @ www.twitch.tv/thegamedesig...

www.reddit.com/user/BloodyT... TLDR: The 2000 SciFi production is my favorite. It is the most accessible to those unfamiliar with the source material, and the one that is most story rich. It even has Children of Dune, encompassing the next two books, which you can't do without.

Today: And every Friday until we finish it: Phantasie II for the Commodore 64. Wonderful Strategic Simulations Inc's CRPG. 12PM Noon CST (GMT -6).

Streaming some Earthbound today! 12pm Noon Central!

Okay. Just finished the Mad Max game again. Everyone Max cared about is dead. Anyone who had anything to do with the death of those Max cared about is dead. Everyone who is still alive is f-n miserable. Like any good sit-com the status quo has been restored.

When you're in mid to late game and the tutorial pop-ups tell you not to forget something you've been using all game... Time to turn those tutorial pop-ups off...

I've learned that on BlueSky, when I look at the 'Trending' tags and notice a name that I don't recognize it almost always has something to do with sports. Just an observation.

Playing Monster Sanctuary and I am finally learning that I have to do some learning about the game else I will continue to get my ass handed to me. www.mobygames.com/game/137740/...

I often find that when there's a show that you don't care to watch, but everyone else seems to want to watch it, that it's often more fun to watch the crowd watching the show. I experienced this once at a Phish concert. Now it happened again with the Klein v Piker debate.

www.youtube.com/shorts/qB1en... Workers have the power. Never forget that. And never let the rich forget that.

Not to start off the day with politics, but... Trump is a symptom. Not the disease. Getting rid of Trump without dealing with the actual cause will just mean it's only a matter of time before we have the next, possibly worse 'Trump'. ... and the cycle repeats... until it collapses.
