Goooodnight lovelies! Headed off to sleep, I'm so, so tired. But besides the save loss stuff, it's been a chill day, which is good at the very least :) I hope you all have the most lovely Thursday! 🩷

The Japanese commercial for 'Revive' on the Dreamcast.

People say "bluesky is dying" - oh yeah? Where else can you ask about a prototype of a pc engine game and get three correct answers within 2 mins of posting about it?

My Dragon Quest VII Reimagined article's now live on @pcgamer.com! After decades (!!) of being put off by the game's infamous length, I was not just grateful for, but also thoroughly enjoyed, this more streamlined new take: www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/im...

So I went to check out that new horizons update, and learned that my world just up and vanished. No backups, nothing. And emailing nintendo just came up with "sorry, you never had a save"... What? I literally have photos, and your damn app has registered me + I paid for your backup service.

Friendly reminder that Xbox is still a BDS boycott target! It's important, and it has been moving the needle!

Good morning, lovelies! I'm on *checks time* 4 hours of sleep, but for some reason I feel even more awake than I usually do 😅 Anyway, I'm going to do some website updates and stuff, and then continue playing Trails! I hope you've been safe, and well 🩷

Wave Race 64 (N64) (1996) 1/2

Another full year. Another peak climbed. My stream is officially 3 years old so it's time for my yearly tradition: Celeste, the first game I streamed. I love this time to reflect on everything (and be silly) 💜💜💜 LIVE NOW!! www.twitch.tv/timpaniumbra #TimpaniConcert #Streamer #PNGTuber

The announcement of Virtual Console as a headline feature for the Nintendo Wii (still titled Revolution) during E3 2005. For Iwata, it would redefine backward capability as not just hardware but also as software: multiple prior generations of console games all in one machine. #VideoBytes

Goodnight lovelies~ Also good morning too, I guess I forgot to post, which is odd; I thought I did... Oh well~ Anyways, I had a nice day playing some more stuff, and staying out of the heat. T'was nice! I hope y'all have a great Wednesday, also you look cute today 🩷

So many fall into the trap that for you to like something, it has to be good, especially if say a greedy corporation that weaponizs nostalgia makes you pay €100 to justify it. You start rationalizing, rather than facing the reality that video games can be bad and also still be entertaining

New blog post time! This week's game is Elfmania, an Amiga-exclusive fighting game with impressive visuals and some of the weirdest gameplay ideas I've seen in the genre. Playing solo probably isn't going to end well, but put this in your mystery tournament or something and you're cooking with gas!

A big deal for Mixx Entertainment, who would morph into Tokyopop as the year 2000 turned: Graduation for Windows 95. (1997) A life sim that casts you as five students' homeroom teacher during their last year of high school as they consider their lifepaths and further education.

Goodnight lovelies~ Got all the errands done, even gamed quite a bit today, that was fun; and now it's time for me to get some rest haha I hope y'all have a wonderful day ahead 🩷

G'morning lovelies~ Fully rested, and I'll take it easy today, don't want to burn out lol Got some errands I gotta do, and then I'll unwind with some gaems! I hope you've all been well, and taking even a little time for yourself, cause I think we all need it. 🩷🩷

Highway to a PC-98 Crime Zone! I hit the road with SystemSoft's tactical RPG that puts you in command not of knights and wizards nor of mecha, tanks, or aircraft, but instead crime-busting armoured ladies on sleek Kawasaki bikes and in compact police cars. Hope you enjoy checking it out. 💜

For @unwinnable.com's February issue of Exploits, I wrote a short piece on practical effects in The Vourdalak and Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess which became a treatise of sorts on puppetry.

Goodnight lovelies~ Goodness I'm so tired, I really didn't sleep last night, so I'm getting an early one to fix that I hope y'all have a wonderful start to your week! 🩷

Stop playing games when you're done with them, whenever that may be: "Although there are plenty of 'good' reasons for dropping a game[...]I’m also allowed to put a game down for no reason beyond simply having had my fill of it." kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2026/02/02/l...

Hey, so I conducted my first interview in years? On TikTok, a person who goes out in a superhero outfit in real life has gone viral for their work, by the name of Skyline. We talk work, fame and the video games that inspired them! Sharing is caring, thank you 💜 medium.com/@daavpuke/an...

Good morning, lovelies; and happy black history month! I hope all my black folk know that your existence is the defiance of a system that profits from our erasure. Hold your heads high, protect your peace, and love the beautiful skin you’re in. I see you, and I love you. 🩷

BLACK GAME DEVELOPERS, WRITERS, ARTISTS AND CREATIVES AT LARGE I NEED YOU TO BE LOUD THIS MONTH*. I NEED YOU TO SHARE YOUR WORK LIKE YOU WILL DIE OTHERWISE, DO NOT BE PRECIOUS ABOUT ABOUT IT *This message also applies to every other month of the year, but the extra attention should be leveraged

Oh awesome! Thank you 👏🏾

Good morning loveliea~ It's really hot over here and I'm out, so it's a swimming day! ^_^ Going to be a perfect thing to bet the heat~ I hope you're all good 🩷

People really don't respect gaming as a medium of art, and this is one of those reasons.

Goodnight, lovelies~ Just got back home, it's been a very long 14 hours, 6 of them driving to work and back... so you can probably guess how tired I am 🫠 I shall see y'all tomorrow, after a very long sleep! I hope you have a wonderful start to your weekend 🩷

so much of Harvestella is just your character listening to kids, and respecting kids' choices and opinions, and being an advocate for kids. seeing kids as people, in other words.
