Supposedly I have 30+ notifications on here but I can't view them because the app is broken trash. At this rate everyone should just go back to personal websites because Bluesky sucks ass.

Every time I update and start using the Ebay app it gets buggier and more unstable. Vibe coders are gonna vibe code I guess.

My copy of Mega Drive Mega CD All Soft Catalogue has unfortunately fallen apart due to the adhesive holding the pages together deteriorating, but I figured this would be a good opportunity to scan it. So here it is available in 600DPI!

Windows 11 is going to shit and Linux doesn't support my industry standard Roland Octa-Capture. I hate computers now.

"Members Only" videos have to be the lamest thing about YouTube nowadays. I've been seeing them more and more recently, and only from people who have small audiences. It seems a bit counter intuitive to building a viewer base imo.

Just bought a couple of CDs from a Discogs seller in Canada. I've been avoiding buying internationally for a while, but lets see how this tariff malarkey works.

Today I'm releasing an early prototype of Nintendo's "Joy Mech Fight" (FC), from over a year before its release! This build, then named "Battle Battle League" (FDS), was created for the 1992 Nintendo-Dentsu Game Seminar. Links are below!

Getting past a toner's DRM by going into the printer's service menu and resetting the value for the toner cartridge's capacity wasn't something I expected to ever do. The future is weird.

I've recently obtained a full loose set of MSX•FAN Magazine floppy disks and scanned them as I haven't seen proper high detail scans (1200DPI) of these on the internet. #01-33 (46 Disks Total) Feel free to use these however you wish but please credit me.

I don't know if there's been a change in mentality in Japan with regard to religious symbols in games, or if Sega was aware that people were going to import its console, but in the JPN version of the MD Mini 2, Shining in the Darkness includes the changes made for the Western ver. ~30 years earlier.

Yes it's entirely in Japanese, and yes you probably need an old computer to run it, but I thought this was cool albeit niche. I've uploaded the IBM WebSphere Studio Homepage Builder V6.5 suite to the Internet Archive, complete with 600DPI scans for whoever wants them.

I swear this is the 3rd time I've gotten a dead/malfunctioning hard drive from a seller on eBay. Nobody seems to know how to ship HDDs. The one that arrived in the mail today was shipped bare in a cardboard box without an anti-static bag or any padding whatsoever.

Reminder to clean the pins on any used game cartridges you get right away. I was wondering why this game wouldn't boot... Nasty!

Pixel artists! 🗣 When posting your art on here, if you don't want it completely mangled, export at 16x the original size (or a multiple of 8) because JPEG processes blocks of 8 pixels. At 16x, the artifacts are very minimal, and similar to JPEG quality of 100%, even with a quality of 20%!

Well, *this* certainly flew under everyone's radars! In 2022, Max Nasikan did an interview with Eurocom programmer Jon Williams and released four demo levels from the unreleased Maui Mallard 2 on PlayStation. I've just created a Hidden Palace article for this here:

I was just browsing games on Yahoo Auctions and saw somebody use the term "Banana Quality" to refer to yellowed out plastic. I think it's way too funny not to use that term from now on.

Oh, okay, cool... I went out to the store for a little bit and it seems Windows decided to restart itself while I wasn't home. The track I was working on in Reaper is gone now. Awesome stuff...

It's Spotify wrapped season! I'm really not too surprised by who my top artists were, but I didn't expect Pop Will Eat Itself to make it to #5. I don't recall listening to them all that much.

For Dinocember, I'll be releasing dumps of the entire Dino Republic series, along with hi-res scans. It appears to be a cute Japanese virtual pet game with extras like trivia and artwork. I'm *pretty* certain this can be considered newly-found "lost media". 🦖👀

I just came across the first music CD in my collection with disk rot. Sucks because otherwise the disc looks immaculate, the fluttering sounds during playback speaks otherwise. 🫠

Finally got around to scanning/dumping this one: The System Install CD for the NEC PC-9821Cb2! Contains some hard-to-find bundled software, tutorial programs, drivers, and more that might be helpful for some PC-98 users overall! (More PC-98 and DOS/V stuff coming soon.)

I really wish YouTube didn't AI upscale old music videos. These "upscales" look absolutely awful. Check out some of these screenshots from Weird Al Yankovic's "Jeopardy".
