@philsalv.bsky.social almost took out one of the Australian museum games curators in 2024. I like to think that Denny’s morphed my stomach into something other now that is in combination with my IBS.

And I’ll say it again. You better care about preservation

Thank you Chris for letting me spiral about game preservation! A great read on the whole DLSS 5 debacle

It's been offline for a couple of months due to hosting issues, but the Video Game Soda Machine Project archive is back online again. If you've ever wanted to browse through more than 3,000 screenshots of soda machines from video games dating back as far as 1983, this is the site for you.

Please someone make a videogame where you have a puzzle minigame to reveal if a character is evil or not, the main baddy waddy, and the answer is just “Guy Sux”

Zucked in and Zucked off

I gave myself anxiety thinking about if people actually start using the NVIDIA DLSS 5 and how adds another layer of complexity to games preservation which is already complex. But it’s ok no one is gonna actually use it.

Guys I’m in a games funk, a slumpy. Please tell me some games that I can play, to free me from my slump hole.
