For all folks going on rants for the "good ol' days" where the videogames where not "half baked or rushed" repeat with me: we don't need perfect (aka "perfect") designed and overpolished experiences. We need pure quirky, amateurish stuff that is filled with so much love, desire and soul that

Ham Ham Human Instrumentality Project

Decided to spread love for some cool games too!

Music from "Real Mahjong Adventure Umi e ~Summer Waltz~" (Saturn) Track: Examining Waves (Aya's Theme) [リアル麻雀]

this pc-98 cover i did didn't get nearly enough eyes on it. link to full thing below 💚

!!!

Super underrated game! to change the side characters and use their special moves is really a fun loop and the whole visuals are top notch. :3 pure cozy

"Touhou Project's oldest Windows game" excuse my while I have an existential crisis and contemplate the relentless forward march of time

really crazy to see a game of vanillaware on pcs o.o But really happy for those who didn't experience Muramasa yet. Also, new Atelier seems pretty cool! :3

anyway, one of these days i'll lay that past life completely to rest when i write that essay about why social links in persona are irreconcilably at odds with their dating and raising sim inspirations and why the success of those games has erased literal decades of design progress and genre literacy

Been following this one for so much time and extremely excited for the news! Such a gorgeous project!

By far one of the most exciting games releasing this year! :) Make sure to not miss it. We all need more of this deliciously cute pop gba flavor in our lives!

Just started playing Sentimental Graffiti and like, this thing is so so so beautiful that make me want to cry ngl. The overall vibe of these ps1 classics is so intense ;-; Emiru is so fun :3 Deciding on where and how you wanna go was such a great design idea for the game!

One of my all time favorites ;-;

If you're an artist, or you feel this deep desire to create, express and materialize something, I urge you to be very careful with the discourse we see out there. There will be just too much people telling you to disregard your dreams and feels, or weird claims about originality and design.

Genuinely, this concern about AI is one of the reasons why I think having friction in video games is good and why it's increasingly important to have games that simply exist instead of catering to our expectations. Reposting this message from Kojima about "pre-digested" art:

No matter how delicious looking, please do not nibble floppy disks. Send this girl your software tho. 💜 📖: Technopolis, July 1993

Still playing around with the YM2608 sound. It is just so delicious to groove #chiptune #PC98 #OPNA

i'm continuing the game music tradition of extremely catchy 1 minute loops for @danchidays.bsky.social! this will be your new favorite staircase song

Ryu Umemoto just hits so hard sometimes (always) ;-; www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-vl...

i'm just saying, when i'm describing why i dislike a dating sim, if i can refrain from appending the word "slop" because i still respect the fact it was made with intention by human hands no matter how detestable the end result is, you can too and you'll have a healthier discoursing life when you do

If you see this you have to post an anime opening from 2000-2005. Such an underrated show!

My life

i think every game should be like cyberblock metal orange and have a tiny catgirl pointing at menu options for you

kissing under the rain

This list may tell you almost everything you need to know about me LMAO XD

Prototyping a cool idea with a bunch of things I always loved and omg ;-; Never ever felt so in love with a project like I'm feeling now. So excited to be able to share soon

sonic . . . . . . . . . please make a Good Future . . . . . . . . . . for all of us

OMG how the hell I didn't knew this existed 😱 Is like a dream game.

Back in the early 2000s a company called Hirameki International Group Inc released a short-lived publication called AnimePlay Magazine where each issue came with an interactive DVD. A while back I uploaded all six DVDs to the Internet Archive. (1/4) archive.org/details/@bow...

Sometimes I think about how Konami took the original Game Boy, a machine designed to run Alleyway and Mario Land, and made it play a feature complete, expanded version of Tokimeki Memorial that still looked recognizably beautiful with only four colors, and I think it's about time you did, too.

Other genre game's parody of a "dating sim": vapid, mocking, self-satisfied Visual novel parody of other genres: affectionate, obsessively-detailed, high quality enough to spinoff into a proper commercially-sold series All I'm saying is that I'd rather play a product of reverence than of disdain

This chrono cross insert disc 2 screen might be one of the most scary, traumatic and formative screens of my entire childhood. 🤕 And right after a boss fight and the whole sea of eden, and NO SAVING OPTION WHATSOEVER. Pure cruelty. Beautiful cruelty.

The Video Game History Foundation's newly digitized GDC 1989 tapes are rad. Talks with Dani Bunten! Trip Hawkins blasting Nintendo's licensing policies! A *retrospective* panel for gaming in 1980! Absolute gold that this stuff survived and is accessible for everyone now.

Hi everyone. Things have been happening in the fan-translation scene and I've been overdue in talking about them. For the first time ever I've made a long writeup. Please read it and feel free to reach out to me with comments.

Just a bunch of animated save points in PS1 RPGs ❤️ Shown here: 1. Chrono Cross 2. Legend of Legaia 3. Tales of Phantasia 4. Final Fantasy 7 5. Final Fantasy 8 6. Final Fantasy 9 7. Parasite Eve 8. Wild Arms 9. Xenogears

Music from "Dora Dora Emotion ~Seihaiden~" (PC-98) [NSFW 18+] Track: BGM 2 This track & 5 others were re-used from the unreleased "NEVER ~Toki no Kanata de Dakishimete~" for PC-98. A re-imagined "NEVER" can be experienced on Ides User's Club Disk Magazine #003 & #004.

I wanna play Dokidoki Memorial 😭

Pow esse template de 9 é crueldade ;-; Poderia mudar maida da metade da lista e ainda assim ser muito muito sincera kkkrying

Cappy and Akari Mizunashi from Aria 💙 They look very cute together 💗

A character sheet for a Game Jam I've thought of participating back in early 2025. In the end I didn't got the time to work on it for real, but I always have fun with this character design sheets. 懐かしい 😭😭 #pixelart #ドット絵 #gamedev

Absolutely agree. That's exactly why I really think that posts scrutinising some else's work in order to find out supposed AI Landmarks should NEVER exist, in absolutely any situation at all. This only weakens our community and produces this paranoid reality. Witch hunting takes us nowhere but

Anyway, my recommendation, as always, is you should play more Japanese adventure games, because the more you do, the more you'll realize there's no need to trip over yourself trying to justify calling every game a VN over superficial similarities. There's plenty of better vocabulary worth embracing.

Finally getting more into Sukeban Deka series. Half the season was gone and is already one of the coolest things I ever watched! The show keeps getting better and better! My only fear is how much I'll miss Yuki Saito's powerful presence in the follow up seasons T-T www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kDT...

New upload! A collection of 7 behind-the-scenes videos recorded in 1999 covering eroge studios from the CD "Bishoujo Wonderland 2" included with "Bishoujo Wonderland Magazine Vol.1 (1999/6)": archive.org/details/maki... Note that most of these videos contain NSFW 18+ content.

2026 already revealed itself as a crazy great year for fan translations! Such a joy to see these titles getting to be accessible after so long.
