This story is infinitely more important than GTA getting delayed. Don't let me catch you moaning about waiting longer for a video game if you're not mad about why it happened.

CAPCOM「STREET FIGHTER Ⅱ アーケード販促カタログ」其のニ カタログの中身はコントロール系の解説とプレイアブルキャラクターの紹介です。 ザンギエフのキャラ紹介の出身国の項目「ソ連」になっているのがお分かり頂けるでしょうか？ソビエト連邦が崩壊し、ロシアに国名を改めたのがSTREET FIGHTER Ⅱが登場した1991年。 このカタログ制作中はまだロシアでは無くソビエト連邦だったんですね(※スーファミ版からロシア表記になっています)。 最早カタログ自体に世界史が閉じ込められている貴重品。 1991年 業界関係者向け販促配布品 #ゲームグッズ＃GAMEGOODS

CAPCOM「STREET FIGHTER Ⅱ アーケード販促カタログ」其の一 「ソビエト連邦の崩壊」「湾岸戦争勃発」「バルト三国独立」「長崎県・雲仙普賢岳大噴火」等、世界が揺れに揺れた1991年。その年ゲーム業界にスペースインベーダー(TAITO)以来の激震が走る事になります。 ＿「STREET FIGHTER Ⅱ」リリース。 伝説の始まり。 それまでのゲームの楽しみ方「独り黙々とハイスコアを目指す」「ALLクリアを目指す」といったスタイルに「直接プレイヤー同士がぶつかり競い合う」が加わった瞬間でした。 1991年 業界関係者向け販促配布品 #ゲームグッズ＃GAMEGOODS

Whole lotta good stuff in this sale

My OKTROLLBERFEST game, Cyber Punk Janitor, is ready to play! It's an adventure game/visual novel and the troll conceit is that everything is trying to kill you. 12 endings and only one of them is non-lethal! whydoisay.itch.io/cyberpunkjan... 🧵 #indiegames #cyberpunk #videogames #scifi

Stop sharing AI slop. It's one thing if you don't know or just made a mistake. No need to breathe down someones neck b/c its harder to tell nowadays. But if you do know (ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO KNOW) even if you're posting it to make fun of it or sharing it unironically... consider not doing that.

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.

"I don't understand how [Japanese series] gets made. They're just weird over there lmao." Dude, unless you're Dragon Quest or Momotaro Dentetsu, almost no big Japanese game breaks even from domestic sales anymore and needs foreign sales. So if stuff keeps getting made, it's global demand. Simple. 🤷

Hear about the NES US launch 40 years ago from the people that made it happen: Gail Tilden, Bruce Lowry and Lance Barr with @frankcifaldi.bsky.social from the @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social moderating! Panel recording at youtu.be/f2WDfsiLiRA #prge #prge2025 #retrogaming #VGHF

Tourists to… well, anywhere really need to understand that the cities they visit aren’t theme parks made to entertain on serve, they’re real places where people live and work and do essential life stuff. You’re basically being allowed into someone else’s home. Don’t be an asshole.

How are you gonna tease the old logo like that and then have *none of the items actually use it.* What are you even doing @sega.jp …?

good labeler to tag the real freaks here bsky.app/profile/stec...

I credit playing VF with boosting my social skills immensely

Anything from cultivating a personal routine, interacting with strangers, managing frustration, all kinds of stuff that can be awkward to practice in other parts of your life. Getting into fighting games can give you a place to grind being a full human among people who are doing the same.

Tomorrow marks 7 years since Overkill's the Walking Dead came out. A game I also worked on and that the team managed to ship in effectively a year and half due to swapping engines extremely late. I have a lot of war stories, but the main thing I want to share is "Fuck Skybound."

I made FREE "no ai" and " do not reproduce" watermarks for you guys to download in my ko-fi shop! ko-fi.com/s/36a4e24165 Also having a 50% off sale on my VGen CMs, and a Month of the Dead SPECIAL! vgen.co/fllamjr Thank you for your support!

Normal people are just sick to fucking death of the cruelty and meanness

Time to see which millionaires actually put their Manhattan condos up for sale and leave

[in a way I haven't truly meant it all year] nice

I truly can't stress this enough: No one's art is good enough to justify them being miserable to work with. Almost everyone I've worked with has been wonderful, but the handful of folks that weren't brought the whole team down by being egotistical, sexist, condescending, etc.

The combination of daylight savings clock change and Pacific Northwest rainy/overcast season has me in a perpetual state of mild headache and wanting to nap

Beat em ups, character action games, musou, fighting games, shmups, all these (largely japanese-developer-led) genres that largely dont receive major published reviews from people who at least *know* their histories or are willing to engage with them in good faith

It is genuinely less an issue of being mad about someone who doesnt like musou reviewing the new hyrule warriors and more that its part of a pattern of entire genres with extensive decades-long histories always receiving the same surface level critique from american reviewers

Since this is (allegedly) a professional-facing account, I don’t generally post or repost blatantly NSFW stuff, but I *will* follow and repost SFW stuff from 18+ artists and give them plenty of support. If you click on a person’s profile and get mad seeing 🔞, that’s a *you* problem

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/

Why were there gender-balanced teams at Sega in the late 80s, and why was this never the case again afterwards? I also provide a chronology of the industry's pioneers in Japan, while addressing the issue of gender discrimination, before discussing working conditions more broadly in a later chapter.

A better world is possible and absolutely within reach if we all simply agree as a species and global society to stop posting on LinkedIn for any reason whatsoever.

We gotta normalize responding to bullshit with "dude who fucking cares"

I really think most JP companies are okay with some localization changes/embellishment if it means they get social media meme fodder on the level of "Let's play goo goo babies"

Watching gamers get angry at union representatives because somehow, fighting back might affect the output of a large AAA title, is the most pathetic thing I've ever seen. None of ya'll deserve the games made by these developers. It's embarassing.

I just remembered that I saw a car with a “Fortnite Mom” bumper sticker yesterday at WinCo and I still feel very confused

Got these signed by Masami Obari. The first pic was given away at the event. The second piece I've had for almost 30 years. Had it sealed the entire time til yesterday when we cracked it open for him to sign.

Happy Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O World Stage release week, everyone! Hopefully everyone else is having as much fun grinding through the single player mode as I am. Wanted to get out a drawing of my main girl Vanessa Lewis for the occasion 🥰

why are there missing children posters coded into Mini Golf and other Bally Sente arcade cabinets? for @endlessmode.bsky.social, I tried to get to the bottom of it.
