Captain EO is a Keita Amemiya film

There is no reality where algorithmically picking projects for maximum shareholder value creates Art like Earth Girls Are Easy

“We don’t have a lot of room at the new place, so please pack only the essentials.” “Say no more.”

gamesoftrobo.ghost.io/yasuomi-umet... "That Mr. Elegance— a man whose goal in life is to collect, imprison, own and ogle cute girls while commanding them to do his bidding— is the most unflattering possible representative of the otaku culture should slap you repeatedly in the face."

this is ALSO why my top advice for younger people is: Remember everything that happened during COVID lockdowns, during the Gaza War, etc. because we are twenty years out from tons of people trying to retcon these things to fit their agenda. Do not let them do that.

In 2003 I marched in protest with millions of other people to try to stop the Iraq war from starting. It was the biggest densest protest I've ever seen. I was in NYC and pop stars came out to play for the protest like it was a concert. It was a huge worldwide news story. And now its just forgotten.

Complete Millenial Victory, we are now in charge of DI band programs

I stopped posting Japanese commercial screens like two weeks into running this account (something like that deserves its own account) but I really need y'all to see how hard the Japanese G.I. Joe logo goes.

this take is likely gonna move across state lines, if not further. tragic level of theft here. please spread as far and wide as you can. GameCenter is as stand-up an arcade preservation group as they come and deserve comeuppance here.

It's always a good show when the guitarists set up a table to play Rock-em Sock-em Robots during the bassist's vocal solo.

a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

I heard the first few notes and reflexively looked up. On a rainy Seattle night, it is briefly summer again.

I'm going to need my fellow nerds to refrain from "oh here's how you fix it" or "you should use Linux" and instead focus on the fact that this is an anti-consumer practice and help raise hell over it.

Joining the ranks of "it me", with mine being Virtual-On OT in the US. The rarity of the machines and home equipment meant that socialization was mandatory. bsky.app/profile/patt...

As Bluesky's general functionality continues to improve, there are times you may find it difficult to search for the content you need. So as a public service announcement here's the video clip you are trying to find to post when discussing the death of Dick Cheney today apnews.com/article/dick...

bluesky staff misexplaining the torment nexus post, a post about how tech people don’t understand the media they read, is going to make me laugh for a long time

Holy shit. @shmuplations.bsky.social translated a massive thread of old tweets from Hideo Yoshizawa that goes deep into the NES Ninja Gaiden's development, including finally confirming the Castlevania influence shmuplations.com/ninjagaiden/

They're calling it the most powerful official Gundam promo art of all time

my most extreme political position is that everyone should have to spend at least 1 year of their working adult life without a car, in order to (1) teach empathy for pedestrians (2) acclimate to sharing public spaces (3) encourage walk/transit-oriented development (4) get people some damn exercise

Virtual-On Leverless Twin Stick is complete! #VirtualOn #バーチャロン

people like Palmer Luckey understand, either explicitly or implicitly, that retro tech and retro games are an accessible pathway to right wing radicalization. the politics of "remember the past when things were simpler and better?" are only a few steps removed from MAGA, unless you're very careful

Backed by the Heritage Foundation and Big Tech, KOSA will force everyone to upload their ID to access the internet. In an age when Palantir has direct ties to ICE, where technofascists are in power and want to eliminate and censor everything, we CANNOT allow KOSA to pass. It NEEDS mass pushback.

can't believe there's a Shinji Aramaki AvP anime that's just been sitting on a shelf somewhere for almost a decade

Finally booted up Asura The Striker after having it in my Steam queue for way too long, and who knew HARRIER PUNCH could be so satisfying??

New Review: SF Shin Seiki Lensman In the 80s, the family of E.E. "Doc" Smith was seemingly on the verge of a big Hollywood deal for the Lensman series... only for Kodansha to already be producing its own adaptation without permission. But is the movie any good? And how about its 2(!) English dubs?

every day i grow more grateful that i never succumbed to the millennial cultural zeitgeist around getting tattoos

The AWS outage today is a good reminder that there is no "cloud", there's just somebody else's computer.

no time to explain get in the spaceship from Flight of the Navigator

look! consequences!! people still care about this stuff no matter how much the oligarchs try to tell us its a brave new racist world

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa

I am happy Rock Box Seattle has MIO so I can sing my heart out to Men of Destiny, but disappointed they don't have the Tekkaman Blade 2nd OP to completely destroy my vocal cords after the Mariners win.

congrats mariners fans

New day, new article! Here's a fresh piece on Dreamcast delight Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram, "...a riot of metal and lasers conveyed via clean lines and vivid colours": ko-fi.com/post/Virtual...

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it? Chiitan forever

Still amazed the R360 was semi-mass-produced, those truly were the glory years for AM2 and Gameworks Seattle briefly had an R360 in its early years. Ironically the 6-seat Virtua Racing installation outlasted it, probably because they were able to convert them to Indy 500.

This is the story of Sega's R360: The legendary arcade cabinet that spun players around and left arcade floors far too early. Exclusive interviews, developer quotes, and more! I'd appreciate not only everyone watching, but also sharing this post and the video! youtu.be/I-LnKFILB5I

I accidentally glitched out an animation I was working on and created a perfect example of what the passage of time feels like to someone with ADHD

Despite all of that, we never did get a Centurions reference in this season of New Panty & Stocking, huh.

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.

It’s funny because it’s true
