Kindan no Ketsuzoku (1993, PC-98)

This is the kind of thing that literally drives people crazy. Whoever put this there is basically testing the limits of people's civility.

I joined Ron of Ron's Computer Videos to talk about Big Box PC Games. Just a fun, casual conversation about collecting games with a bit of story telling. Give it a watch! www.youtube.com/watch?v=fz3P...

I WAS ONLY JOKING ABOUT THE CHEAT MODE BACK THERE, THAT WOULD BE MAKING IT JUST A BIT TOO EASY... THIS TEXT IS HERE PURELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THOSE WHO GAIN PLEASURE FROM SNOOPING AROUND OTHER PEOPLES CODE IN THE HOPE OF FINDING SOMETHING INTERESTING OR INCRIMINATING.

The FCC is looking to take control of the voluntary TV ratings system to banish transgender and non-binary subject matter, hijack the TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board, and go on a censorship spree in the name of “protecting children.” docs.fcc.gov/public/attac...

Chronicles of Riddick might be the most media-agnostic mainstream I.P I can think of. Sometimes it's a feature length movie, sometimes it's a video game, sometimes its an anime, but it remains consistent and moving forward in each form. That's pretty cool.

Hi I wrote about the making of classic platformerChuckie Egg and talked to its creator Nigel Alderton. Please give it a read as I want to show there’s an audience for this gaming history stuff 🙏 www.theguardian.com/games/2026/a...

The Wild Gunman ‘74 news keeps going wider. I hope @74xx.bsky.social’s repro unit shows up at a con I’m also at one day, so I can get a chance to play it myself. tech.yahoo.com/gaming/artic...

A very good price on an amazing puzzler. If Void Stranger or Blue Prince got their hooks into you, this one's a must-have. Starts out as a simple Sokoban-esque block pusher. Grows into a non-linear five-dimensional puzzle tesseract where you'll often be looking at 2-3 more puzzles and not know it.

One of my favorite bits from the pages of Creative Computing (June 1981) is this article about how Alan Sutcliffe created the computer display for the Nostromo landing sequence in the film Alien.

really happy about this, still need to play this game, BUT 'new intellectual property' is such a fucking cursed award name

Absolutely insane numbers on data center buildout. I haven’t vetted these by they’re about right based on memory/back of the envelope.
