Man, this has been a year of pure hell so far. Every time I start to feel a bit better, a new awful thing happens. I know I overreact (thanks, autism!) but god-damn do I feel the anxiety acutely. It's debilitating. Can't function.

I play video game- oh god dammit!

I've been reading through old issues of NGamer (I don't have much else going on) and I was surprised to see a Frank Black shout-out! How nice.

Extremely cool name for a giant fuckin' sword, too!

I'm finally feeling well enough to start playing games again, and I'm starting right where I left off in Trails Beyond the Horizon.

Did you know that 'Chrono Trigger' initially started life as 'Chrono Tigger'? Long before Kingdom Hearts, Square and Disney planned t- ah forget it this is going nowhere.

I almost bought Superman 64 when it came out, but decided against it at the last second. Like a week later the latest N64 Magazine issue came out, and I realised what a bullet I'd just dodged!

Man I wish we'd gotten a proper 3D Sonic game on the Saturn. Those aesthetics were peak Sonic.

PN03 fan art in 2026! Underrated little oddball gem of a game.

The weak should fear the strong

The 32X makes more appearances in anime that you might think! i.e. more than zero.

Does it smell like mint? It looks like it smells like mint.

I really miss NGC Magazine.

You know, an Antiques Roadshow based entirely around old video games might be a cool idea for a show.

This is what you see when you die IRL. At least in my religion.

General Game User was a decorated officer in the console wars.

A shop that sells copies of Pro Evolution Soccer is technically called a PES dispenser.

Guess how old I am! Go ahead, guess!

I wonder if he's related to the fish boss in Burning Rangers.

Tank controls are fine you’re all babies.

The new Ghost in the Shell anime looks so good it almost makes me want to forgive Science Saru for not making Eizouken season 2.

I can't get over how amazing this is. N64 optimisation has come a long way! ... so, who's going to be the first homebrew dev to try and make an N64 Final Fantasy VII port?

Tears of the Kingdom is the best game Nintendo has ever made and Skyward Sword in the worst.

I refuse to play another Mario sports game until they bring back Plum!

Who wore it best?

Just give me a well-designed and fun Star Fox game with no gimmicks or bullshit. That's all I want.

FYI - The SEGA Saturn hasn't changed price at all.

This is absolutely stunning.

I'm still tickled that Elvis Costello is an Eizouken fan.

Just add some colour and I'll be satisfied.

This is what Tom Servo's parents look like.

It would be funny to replace Yoshi with this and give it to a kid you don't like.

"I think we can improve on the greatest controller of all time" - SEGA of America. It's like me saying "I think I can improve Michelangelo's David."

A new Patlabor game?!

People forget that SEGA Saturn Chris Redfield had a cameo on The Simpsons.

Akihabara,1992

I was reliably informed in the mid 2000s that Chuck Norris could never die.

the things I do for l̶o̶v̶e̶ Shenmue

This is so legit dude, like I always see people fondly remember what a "huge leap" the PS2 or GameCube were, but as one of 12 Dreamcast owners, I'd been playing games with that kind of fidelity for years.

Managed to play an hour or so of Trails Beyond the Horizon last night before my anxiety started getting really bad again. I know it doesn't sound like much, but it was kind of an achievement for me 😅 Also, it was nice to be reminded of how the Calvard games have the best cast in any Trails.

"Henshin-A-Go-Go, baby!" - Mark Twain (I'm pretty sure)

Did you know that the average man thinks about Viewtiful Joe every 7 seconds?

A ball of string.

I think this DLSS 5 stuff looks great! What's your problem?
