The world is becoming harsher for transgender people right now. Darkness stretches before and behind them, and the pain is growing. Their wish remains simple — to love who they love and live true to themselves🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 This is why we must join hands and change the world with compassion.

Well, nevermind that! I Just BEAT Gradius Advance!! (A.K.A. Gradius Generations/Gradius Galaxies) Now, granted, it WAS on easy mode, but it's Gradius, it was still painfully difficult, but it feels like it was designed in a way that you can keep going even when you lose all your powerups!

The Gradius games are SO GOOD but doggammit I just can't get past the 3rd stage...

What if Sakura, but gay? That's basically Nanoha (2004) for you. The early 2000s didn't have a lot of non-straight girly shows, but Nanoha is (barely) one of them. Btw, this was my anime of the year 2024. Feel free to post one if you want...

I think they just wanted to make a movie... That's the impression I got at least...

Played Crash 1 today, Toxic Waste was worse than Road to Nowere and The High Road. I think I'll finally beat this sooner than later.

Why do I only ever get to Shin Akuma (or God Rugal) when I'm too tired...

Wait, Hudson is trending? *clicks* WRONG HUDSOOOON! xD

I wrote a big ol' blog post that's effectively a review of the R36S handheld based on my own experience with one for a little under a year: ko-fi.com/Post/Emulati... Spoiler alert, It's not very good =w=';

It's so mesmerising... www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYbU...

Just finished Little Witch Nobeta! I played through most of it last year and stopped just shy of the final boss and didn't know... Welp, I picked it back up just now and cleared that. Sad vibes all around, but I like where they went with the ending, it made it all worth it! Very good game!

Finished watching Sora yori mo tooi basho (A.K.A. A place further than the universe) yesterday-ish~ The darling of the anime fandom back in 2018, and rightly so as I've found out, I've been meaning to get around to it since then, but it took me until just recently to finally watch it...

Beating the game as Lilica feels like an accomplishment in and of itself since she's not exactly the easiest character to play, but beating Mildred in particular in so few attempts really was exhillerating!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KANON!!!! #唐可可 #ラブライブ #lovelive #Liella #澁谷かのん生誕祭2026 #澁谷かのん誕生祭2026

They shoulda gone with "Maccas"

More than a year later, and I'm still getting better at this game... But my gosh these latter cups are ridiculous...

Most anime-licensed fighting games feel like they're made for people who don't like fighting games... Even all the way back in Super Butouden, my gosh, what a clunker, but we all played it because it was Dragon Ball... The likes of Gundam Wing Endless Duel and Bleach Dark Souls are rare...

Here's the thing about BlazBlue right... It has great single player, great online, it looks Really Good, it's Really Well Made... I don't care for the characters... There's like, legit, only 1.5 characters who I even find appealing, and even then I don't feel that strongly about them...

Beat Alpha 2, arcade version, as Chun Li. Honestly, I think she kinda sucks in the Alpha games compared to 3rd Strike and CVS2... Either that, or I just don't know how to play her here... Well, I always did gravitate more towards Sakura in my youth, and Rose and Maki in my adulthood...

I'm not really into enhancing my retro games, I like them just the way they are, but y'know, I'm happy for them! Welcome back ZSNES! www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5tw...

First time beating the original NES version of Super Mario Bros. 3! Of course I beat it countless times on Super Nintendo and Especially GBA, and my gosh, I've played these levels to death, but welp, I beat every version now. No warp whistles btw! I did it legit! But no, I didn't do every level.

I went to the arcade yesterday, it was wonderful! I even got a 2nd player! My legs are a bit sore from playing Pump It Up xD Yeah, I think the arcade is my third place now.

I yelped with excitement upon defeating Mildred (the final boss) in my FIRST ATTEMPT! Like, holy $#!t that never happens... I LOVE this game~❤️

It's honestly kinda shocking how often this happens considering British mainstream news media are the 2nd worst in the world...

I pretty much knew it was gonna happen, but yeah, she's getting her OG design as a costume, and MY GOSH It Looks SOOOOO Much Better it makes the weird facial proportions look Bordeline Acceptable xD www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ypq5...

One of the really cool things about emulators is that you can map L and R to R1 and R2 on SNES, PSP and Dreamcast, and L and R to Y and X on GBA and have a much better time playing fighting games that way. And also play the Game Cube version of CVS2 with a MUCH more appropriate controller.

Because I can't control myself, I did it again, and my gosh, they put a reverse dramatic battle at the end of Chun-Li's arcade run! Well, before the Bison fight that is... I STILL Beat Bison first try though! But I used 8 continues this time... At least half of which against Ingrid xD

Default difficulty, only 2 continues, and I beat both Guy and Bison on my first attempt... Folks, am I getting better?!?!

Playing fighting games back-to-back on my new handheld and on the PC REALLY puts into perspective something I already knew but was ignoring for the longest time... My controller's D-Pad is $#!t! I do spinning-bird-kicks, double QCFs and HCBFs SO Much More Consistently on the handheld...

I love these kinds of old games where I'm supposed to beat them in one sitting, but I don't cuz they're hard... Like, for one, they don't feel like a commitment to boot up, I just play as much as I feel like, and for two, when I DO beat them it feels like an accomplishment!

FINALLY Beat Cratermaze! I dunno why I never beat it before... Was it because I was bad at it? Or was it because I never put in the time to sit through it properly? I dunno, but this game is delightful! The music in particular is absolutely lovely~❤️ But it may overstay its welcome a bit...

A quick heads up; The UK government is currently holding a consultation on the Online Safety Act. The consultation lasts until the end of next month. Please fill it out if you live in the UK and/or share it around to get more eyes on it. www.gov.uk/government/c...

Yeah, this looks A LOT more appealing imo...

This is about America, not alpha kids worldwide... Here's the thing right... A scary number of US adults are illiterate, or barely literate... And they're homeschooling their kids... And that's Bush and Reagan's fault btw.

Y'know... If you REALLY Need a dedicated piece of hardware to play Neo Geo games THAT Badly, just go on AliExpress and get whichever Pandora's Box you fancy for much cheaper, all while not giving your money to the Saudi regime... Otherwise, you can emulate all that $#!t on a potato...

Was in the mood, for reasons...

I do what I can...

Was experimenting a bit with shaders, turns out shaders add noticeable input lag, so I went back to good ol' filters, voila! I can get scanlines and LCD grids with no noticeable added lag! Now I just wanna put the "Game Boy Advance" words beneath the game image to fill out the 4:3 screen...

I foolishly thought for but a moment this was over what he's doing in-and-around Iran, but no, of course not, it's over a slop image he posted... Siiiiigh... America needs to end... www.youtube.com/watch?v=obEr...

Back in my day (lol) no mainstream news media would EVER dare airing an article like this... It was always all about how "Vidja Gaymes are RUUUUINING Them Kids!!" Welp, nice to see them not slagging on my autistic special interest for once... www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4Qu...

Cool stuff! Did one for rhythm games: Where's the rhythm game fans on this bloody site?!?!

This is Bomberman Kart DX btw...

Btw, the modretro guy is a paedo.

"You've been charged with being cool as shit. How do you plead?" "Guilty, your honor." "Bailiff, give this man a Baja Blast and drop him off at the nearest arcade with a cup full of whatever coins we in Ireland put in arcade games."

There's not very many feelings in gaming more satisfying than figuring out the patterns of a really difficult boss and using that knowledge to beat them~ I just felt that BIG TIME with 3rd Strike just now! Not a game I play often, but that feeling of personal improvement is Tangible here!

Battle Fantasia at 60 FPS on a T820 device? It's more likely than you think! Yeah, it's running at half resolution, but on a screen this size, honestly, you can barely tell...

I FIGURED IT OUT!! I got GOF2 working with Game Native on the 476H >u<

Is anyone even surprised about this? Honestly, it just helps illustrate why I've been all Disney'd out for ages now...
