Play Shiren the Wanderer, I'm no longer asking.

A random sales shout-out for Horizon's Gate, if you like your RPGs sandboxy. It's like a fusion of Final Fantasy Tactics and Uncharted Waters. Age of sail high-fantasy trading, naval combat, etc. Also a single, ultra-dedicated modder has created a GIGANTIC modular expansion for it. Don't miss it.

Merry Christmas! If you'd like to spend 45 minutes celebrating video game history with me, we're about to debut The Untold Story of the Nintendo Entertainment System. I worked on his ALL YEAR, and I genuinely think it will reshape how we all think about the system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJvp...

Reminder that Ys vs. Trails in the Sky is currently 20% off on ALL platforms! If you've been waiting to hop on, you can grab this deal on your favorite platform and play with your friends, even across platforms! Check the links to each store in the reply 🔽🔽

All children are born knowing how to do this. It is culture that deprives them of this knowledge.

A non trivial issue with how the site works tho is that it auto-suppresses every language except your default unless you specifically opt into them I sort of get why a monolingual English speaker might think this is an OK idea but in practice lol its ethnocentric as fuck

Listen I love you all dearly, but for the love of god don't follow that Slop Detected account, it's literally asking for trouble since they already had to delete something purely for giving "bad vibes" and just reheats old talking points and/or sensationalized articles like they're new discoveries

Simply Having A wonderful

The wheel and I cooked up some Japanese PlayStation games for you. Please respond! Japan Only PS1 Games Vol.17 is out now! youtu.be/A8xvXtoZoqo

A new team has entered the fray! Get ready for the… Crossbell Police Department Special Support Section…?

Curse Crackers: For Whom the Belle Toils is $1.49 on Steam buff.ly/xR0P5xU Deck playable

POV: You are Estelle Bright and you failed to surprise your stealth master boyfriend (Happy birthday Joshua!) (And thank you boyfriend for being my reference model @renlu.bsky.social :p) #art #fanart #trailsinthesky #trails #kiseki #軌跡シリーズ

Not CHEAP even at 30% off, but The Hundred Line is one of the wildest narrative experiences around A collaboration between the Danganronpa and Zero Escape developers. A sprawling visual novel/turn-based tactics hybrid that's completely linear... until 30+ hours in and 100 more story branches unlock

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

The "father of indie games" is a japanese dude who dropped a doujin game that changed the brain chemstry of several people when it got fan translated. Thanks

going a little crazy that people are turning on the Kingdom Come Deliverance guy *now* for this AI Art stance when he's been an openly racist gamergate neo-nazi whose initial groundswell around the Kingdom Come Deliverance kickstarter was based on appealing to gamergate types.

There’s a pretty concerted effort to rehabilitate Blow’s image from people who swear by the mantra of separating the art from the artist, but I will tell you a truth that will get lost in this debate: it’s not like Braid was that good

The God of Wine was also mentioned in Cao Cao's poem Short Song Style:

I got in!! Yay!

Ive deeply missed free available wrestling i only have to half pay attention to.

Everyone is more or less okay with it” dude you make people emigrate to work there because you don’t do remote work, they risk having to change countries if they disagree with it

One take from a former Larian artist, following my interview with Swen Vincke this morning:

People defending this with "But it's just concept art" out themselves as viewing certain artistic output less valuable than others. But that's not even the real danger, as making concessions for "some" genAI means leaving the door open for more intrusive forms later. Give an inch, take a mile etc.

News at ten: CEO who gets a disproportionate amount of credit for his studio's work is dismissive of anti-genAI pushback, "thinks" all the talented people beneath him who actually earned that credit are "more or less OK" with it

Just catching this now. Love the work these folk do.

Please consider donating to the VGHF. This video and their ongoing release of Sega Channel materials/roms is incredible and deserves recognition. It feels like an exciting final chapter on decades of Sega Channel preservation which fascinated me growing up. I even shed a few tears while watching!

The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon acrylic standees! Showcasing Kevin, Swin, Rufus, Rean, and Crow in a bunny waiter attire, happy to assist! A great way to add some extra flair to your Trails collection! Artist: George Ogino. #Falcom #TrailsbeyondtheHorizon

Folks I emphasize as always, if you don't actually show up for the things you want, they stop getting made. Sometimes you gotta be okay with taking a chance on that 7/10 game knowing it's the only way those creators get to keep making the stuff you wanna see

the epic game store giveaway of Hogshits Legacy is Tim Sweeney, a billionaire, donating a nice fat sum to JK Rowling, another billionaire and the financier of anti-trans hate, with Geoff Keighley's "institutional" blessing (given that this shit was announced at TGA and endorsed by it). Moral decay.

forgive me father for I have blogged simulacrum.pika.page/posts/but-th...

Pragmata got me in literally one combat encounter

don't claim it. doesn't matter that it's free. Don't.

around 40 game developers affiliated with @videogameworkers.bsky.social have gathered outside the peacock theater, where the game awards will take place in a few hours, for a “the industry is dead” demonstration

To close off the year… 🧢HEADS WILL ROLL Going live tomorrow at 6PM GMT! Special thanks to Alex Price for helping with the VIRTUAROID cap. A hat only drop, this one will last for longer than usual, ending January 9th 2026 6PM GMT! #mgs3 #rrt4 #mizzurnafalls #flowersunandrain #lsddreamemulator

I will not be watching The Game Awards tonight. I encourage you not to as well. If you'd like to support developers, watch their trailers online and wishlist their games (or pre order!) We do not have to participate in Geoff's love letter to capitalism. You do not "have to hand it to him."
