$20B, geez This shit should be illegal

I’d boycott EA, but it seems I’ve already been accidentally boycotting them since 2009

Manic Miner didn't have anything to say about the miners' strike. Ian Stewart and Pete Harrap had an idea: what if it did? New post on the history of the resultant Monty Mole games, and how Monty made it to both the BBC news and the Famicom Disk System: www.superchartisland.com/monty-on-the-run

Ports of this nature are kind of meaningless these days for most people but I gotta say, Rare did some remarkable work with the GBC version of Donkey Kong Country

If only one of us ex-TouchArcaders could make a smooth landing somewhere, I’m glad it was Mikhail. He’s a superstar and RPGSite fits him like a glove. Happy RPGSite Anniversary, buddy!

Cuttin’ stories from DQ7… that ain’t it for me

I finally got someone to pay me to write something about Bananza. This DLC takes a while to grow on you, but once it does… wowza.

"Which is your favorite/definitive version of the original Prince of Persia?" 💾As promised-- after 35 years, here's a proper blog post with my thoughts, and the story behind Prince of Persia's multiple 1990s ports. www.jordanmechner.com/en/latest-ne...

Several months after every other seller shipped them, and two months past the original cited ship date, I finally got my Gold Master trilogy from Limited Run. Here’s the slipcase that presumably held everything up - an unassembled piece of cheap cardboard. Never buying from these guys again.

It's kind of funny how by and large the goriest Wolverine is ever allowed to be is in video games. Even the comics rarely go that hard.

For Patrons: Time to rank more Game Boy games in the Nintendo Switch Online catalog. Today's selection sees us finally hit the Game Boy Color, and with it comes a real heavyweight! - Donkey Kong Land III - Castlevania Legends - Tetris DX - Link's Awakening www.patreon.com/posts/139680...

The second wave of the latest Taito Arcade Archives sale is up (or will be up soon depending on your region), offering 30% until October 8th. I've done my usual write-up on all of the games, noting if you can find them in other ways. Have a look! postgamecontent.com/post/7955402...

You can’t fix autism because autistic people are not broken.

My sister is doing her usual charity walk again this year, so if anyone feels like donating some money to Boston Terrier Rescue Canada to sponsor her, it would be much appreciated! I mean, look at that cute pup! www.canadahelps.org/en/charities...

Perhaps today is a good day to write about every game in the JALECOlle Famicom Vers. line of classic reissues, I told myself. Read if you like Jaleco games. Which should be just about everyone who follows me, right? postgamecontent.com/post/7951134...

I'm starting to get texts about this now so I guess I need to say something: There is a fundraiser going around about a "preservation disaster" raising money right now that I highly advise you to stay very far away from. A particular British tabloid is running with it unquestioningly. Thread:

The difficulty discourse is always tiresome, and I'm not jumping into the latest. What I'll say is that I'm at a point where I know if a game's structure is something I'm going to enjoy or not, and I have no problem walking away from games that don't hit right with me no matter how hyped they are.

The not-so-deluxe version, but another Super Deluxe all the same

I mean, it’s cooked, isn’t it?

Yoda: “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate... leads to suffering.” *the next day* “Yoda has been fired by the Jedi Council for his hateful and divisive rhetoric during a sensitive time.”

Briefly considered doing a ranking of every Mario game ever but my brain reminded me that would be a terrible idea so I guess that’s that

Saw someone ask if a person would pay $70 for a pack with Super Mario Bros 3 and Super Mario World I’m tight on funds so I can’t buy much right now, but if such a world existed where those two games were only sold in that form? I mean, that’s a good $70. Beats most $70 games for sure.

Civility is going to be the end of civilization

If anyone for whatever reason feels like reading up on Virtual Boy games, I’ve once again made my full library ranking on my Patreon site temporarily free to read. www.patreon.com/posts/106294...

I think one thing people are gonna have to get used to in this era of climbing prices is that you do not need the DLC to “complete” your game. If you’re happy with the base, isn’t that fine?

That Direct went right into my veins, loved it So as usual I check the internet and everyone hated it lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Man this last week has just been a “Greatest Hits” of terrible gaming discourse - Difficulty Discourse - Region Focus Discourse - Legal Stuff Most Know Shit All About Discourse What further treasures will the next few days bring us

Somewhat amused that just one day after the latest kerfuffle about gaming history talk being too Americentric, everyone’s celebrating the PS1’s “30th anniversary”

What the fuck did they do to Panzer Zwei

After chipping...I mean breaking away at it almost every single day since launch, here's my Donkey Kong Bananza review: www.patreon.com/posts/donkey...

It’s stunning how many issues between humans stem from being ignorant or unaccepting of the fact that not everyone had the same life experiences as you

“Your last saved pic is your moral philosophy” I wouldn’t have done this if my last saved pic wasn’t this silly

Silksong is not a game for everyone but it is selling like a game for everyone and that is perhaps the most fertile soil from which The Discourse tends to grow Stay safe out there

I like Boulder Dash a lot, so I figured I'd review that new Boulder Dash 40th Anniversary and see how it turned out. And if you want to see how that review turned out, all you have to do is click that little link down there. Yes, that one! postgamecontent.com/post/7939392...

The Discourse has fully arrived I see
