Beep21 has reported that Hideki Sato, the father of Sega hardware, passed away yesterday at age 71. We planned to publish this article later, but it seems more fitting now to honor Sato's commitment to Sega's quality and legacy. www.sega-16.com/2026/02/clas...

what do you mean "the near-complete source code to Princess Maker 1 and 2 was quietly uploaded to GitHub a few months ago and nobody noticed" github.com/ritsuro/Prin... github.com/ritsuro/Prin...

it's that time of year again

I wish someone had told me that Godzilla: Save the Earth for the PS2 had kaiju space basketball in it, I would've played it a million years ago...

I got multiple, immediate pings on discord and all of them just said "BIRD GAME". Will be playing this lmao

No stream, only doctor >:(

"Teen-by-Default" is such a hilariously grim way to talk about your userbase like, usually companies aren't this up-front about how they think we're all dumb children.

Oh, you're watching the "Big Game" for the ads? How simple-minded of you, how disgustingly consumerist. Hope you enjoy your bitcoin-funded AI soda pop or whatever!! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to this 30-minute Nintendo Partner Direct that concludes with a Fallout 4 port for Switch 2

And one other thing: we’re being told that AI is the only way to make games cheaper and faster, to pull us from this precipice of production nightmares the industry has found itself in. That it’s necessary. We put out roughly 3 motherfucking games a year, not touching the stuff. Skill issue.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

No streams for a few days, I got sick :(

seth's right, this is heat

Happy to have another excuse to write about Final Fantasy 11, which recently broke in the exact right way to force its Games Masters into doing something extremely funny:

Jurassic Park Spitters (1992-1994): A line of tropical fruit-flavored jawbreakers released to promote "Jurassic Park". They were sold with plastic dispensers shaped like dinosaur heads, that would "spit" out the candy.

I love this album, and their last one too. Fantastic band, check them out and show some love if you can!!

Let The Adventures of Batman & Robin's title screen (MD/Gen version) intro loop a few times; that's when you get some extra audio spice from composer Jesper Kyd for its demoscene energy-infused intro.

Mommy covered her face with her hands and now she’s lost media 💔

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

officially time to jump ship. What are our options? Where we migrating to?

saw the cutest road sign a few days ago 🥺🐸 #frog

Sega Saturn alert!! Someone casually spent five years making a complete first-person shooter for the Saturn and basically shadowdropped the thing more than a month ago. The Saturn scene is just now finding out about it. Looks incredible!! Vigilant Paradise from Playnautic! youtu.be/lXw2VcJDEVU?...

Great rundown. Basically, people who think they own a property are going to do whatever they can to scare off others. And there are some details involving long-running characters that have to be navigated.

oh shit it's the first SOULS LIKE game

And on that night, Ebenezer Sega, CEO of Sega, was visited by three spirits: 1. The Ghost of Christmas in America, who recommended they make the 32X 2. The Ghost of Christmas Japan, who recommended they make the Sega Saturn 3. The Ghost of Christmas Brazil, who just wanted more Master System

Reminded today of the greatest video I've ever seen on this website (yet sadly could not find the original link to)

This studio awards-season email is really matching the current mood in a way I’m not sure they intended.

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.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

doing some reading for my continued exploration of licensed games and I have discovered the "Disney Imagicademy – Frozen Early Science Cooking and Animal Care" mobile game by Krome Studios and I don't want to play it, I want to keep how insane it sounds in my imagination forever
