Sand Shower Zone was a tileset developed by Brenda Cook for 'Sonic 2', but was not used in the final game. The Video Game History Foundation digitized her VHS portpholio, which included an animated visual for the stage.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Growing concerned that Boo Boo might be the world's most photogenic kitten.

Concept artwork of the Ifrit Golem, from 'Sonic & The Secret Rings'. The entry in the game reads: "The ifrit is mixed with discarded machinery. Look closely in the cauldron and you'll see a rubber ducky!"

完璧なゲーミングマシン🕹️

The last time I was at a studio with a layoff, a meeting was derailed because the director asked, with increasing irritation, which engineer was supposed to design a feature that underpinned the whole game. That engineer had been laid off 2 days prior, and no one else knew how to do it.

yeah no this is genuinely like, a really bad mark on gaming fandom in general but even today people laugh it off and try to frame it like they brought it on themselves because "sonic fans are just sooooo weird" even now people feel enabled to go way too far at a whim

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

I hadn't heard of Qzilla, the production company behind Crunchyroll's Sekiro anime. The trailer okay, but something felt kind of off. Looked them up on MAL and they didn't seem to have much motion in terms of the thirteen things its produced. Checked the company website and lo and behold.

Microsoft employees occupy headquarters in protest of Israel contracts. The protest encampment started today, and it’s the biggest escalation of the protests at Microsoft so far www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Time to make a new series of calls...

The fog of war is lifting What we are learning is that these two parties are responsible for all of the censorship going on. Banks working with PayPal / Stripe, and card networks like MasterCard

Ha, cute. There's a Deltarune character mod for Sonic Robo Blast 2 that has dialogue and cutscenes and everything. You tag-team between all three main characters, and they even do something fun with the special stages. mb.srb2.org/addons/delta...

if smash bros brawl came out today it would be 90 dollars

over 20% of the global game dev force was laid of on the last 3 years and absolutely none of it was because of piracy

Sonic did it better anyways

I don't want my chat client to give me pop-ups telling me to "earn orbs" by "completing quests." Just shut the fuck up and send the messages.

20 years ago today, July 14, 2005, I created "Link finds a WTF" on YTMND, later becoming better known today on the Internet after it took on a life of its own as "WTF BOOM!". To commemorate this 20th anniversary, I've remastered my original WTF BOOM! YTMND in 4k. #ytmnd #wtfboom

Hey thanks for letting me know that you misread a word in my post and thought it was about something completely different for a second. That would have been quite wacky.
