I keep thinking he's gonna scissor his arm off with his legs...

Jesus fucking Christ, even Action 52 gave you more bang for your buck than this.

まもるクンはまた呪われてしまった！

Got one for my 6th birthday. Battery life was never really much of an issue, since I rarely took it with me on the go to begin with and always had it plugged into the wall. Hell, I had the battery pack for it, and even then it was just a glorified extension cable for the most part.

Today, we're taking care of this lovely Japanese Master System (MK-2000). Follow along below for a look at the journey to full restoration. 👇 #MasterSystem #Sega

Finally got this all finished up. It's a decently lengthy read about basically just me taking steps to use my phone less, but I touch on some other stuff, too. gensakudan.com/en/blog/mode...

Party like it's 1284 AW

Actually pretty endearing, as far as shmups go. Impossible to recover if you die at any point after stage 1, though. Would've been neat if this had gotten a standalone release on Sega Card.

To me, this has always looked like a dude in a nightgown, with his eyelids pulled way up and fastened with duct tape.

Having been a huge Tails fan as a kid, finding out that he had his own game on the Game Gear was like a dream come true. Don't even remember *how* I got it, but it was absolutely one of my favorites.

Oh yeah, guess who's sick. I had a really productive weekend. Unfortunately, summer decided to come back that very same weekend, so the weather might've sapped a bit too much of my energy after I already put my back into a bunch of stuff.

Man, early 2000s' game reviews really were something else.

Hey, if you're reading this: Don't. ESPECIALLY if you're queer. Not only is this not how you hit Bluesky where it hurts, us going quiet is exactly what they want, too. If you're seriously thinking of joining this blackout, ask yourself where your queer pride is.

Oh, I see Sega Retro has implemented Anubis. Hopefully that means the site's gonna be a lot faster, going forward.

Probably Depeche Mode or ATB.

Managed to Lunatic-1cc Touhou 20 two days ago! youtu.be/Uq-ZzQhzCs8

I remember this game confounding me as a kid because there are always three doors in view, yet you only have two trigger buttons. Took a while before I found out that Up on the d-pad aims at the left door.

Oh shit, Mukai Project 7th anniversary tomorrow. And it's the middle of the week, so not only do I not have anything planned, I don't even have the time for a stream.

Absolutely hellish difficulty level. I managed to beat the Game Gear port as a kid because it has passwords, but this version continues to be beyond me. It's just so hard to reliably shoot anything, even stationary targets.

Something about this particular version having no music during gameplay is oddly soothing. Just the best approximation of engine sounds that square waves can provide.

Slightly diminish a band: In Moderation

Oh shit, I had this for my Game Gear! The Game Over theme was pretty iconic.

Usb-C mod successfully installed! So, technically, this a solar powered Game Gear! #sega #retrogaming

Wasted two hours of my life trying and failing to retroactively install the I/O shield into my PC in a bid to get rid of EMI coming from my SD-20.

The SEGA Master System's 3D glasses have always been out of my price range. Especially today.

LRPs making me feel pretty nostalgic again...

Enemies 'Alex Kidd in Miracle World' SEGA Master System

One understated job benefit is having access to LambdaTest, allowing me to actually test my website on Safari... and oh boy, the trailing icons for links look like shit on there. Fortunately, I figured out what to do after some experimentation, but I don't have the time to fix them just yet.

Man, I completely forgot how fun it can be to just surf the web, 90s-style. Just circling through a webring, seeing what wacky sites you end up coming across, finding more webrings to follow and maybe consider applying for in the future...

Finally got around to fixing some bugs with the audio player and the game download tables that had been an issue since the relaunch back in May. The audio player also now has some tooltips on hover, regarding keyboard controls.

I think I need to go back to keeping my phone in another room. Had it on my bedside table for a while, and it's starting to consistently prevent me from taking naps again.

On that note, I didn't find out until *after* I started browsing through said webrings that it's not exactly frowned upon to just design your own widgets. I might consider doing that if the number of webrings I join starts increasing.

Officially part of both of these now as of today. Once again, thanks for telling me about 'em!

Happy 35th anniversary to the SEGA Mega Drive! 🎉 Mark the occasion with Sega Mega Drive / Genesis: Ultimate Works, the definitive retrospective of one of gaming’s most iconic consoles. This edition is packed with 1,200+ visuals, development documents, and exclusive interviews with SEGA legends 💙

Anyone else having an issue with the Bluesky app where it sometimes just doesn't register button presses? I swear, every time I write up a post, I have to tap the "Post" button at least twice before it actually works.

Yesterday I made a feed for people talking about Sega's 8-bit systems, if that's something you'd like to see more of. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Posting in a way that engages other people (without feeling like blatant engagement farming) is a skill I've regretfully never been able to cultivate. All I know how to do is yap about myself and my hyperfixations.

A Game Gear with a TV tuner playing the local weather channel in the park at sunset. This took a level of jankiness to accomplish that I think @actionretro.bsky.social would appreciate.

Only 30 days until The #History of #SEGA arrives! You can still pre-order it from the publisher at a £6 discount. See the pinned post on my profile for all the info! 😎 #videogames #MegaDrive #MasterSystem #SegaSaturn #Dreamcast #gamegear #segagenesis #SonicTheHedgehog #videogames #retrogaming

New blog post! The Unique High-Tech Computer... all this time and I've never taken a look at a *proper* famiclone, let's fix that now. nicole.express/2025/a-compu...

I feel like Touhou has been flirting with its own conclusion pretty much ever since Mystic Square. There originally wasn't gonna be an EoSD. There originally wasn't gonna be a MoF. It's not unlikely that there won't be a Touhou 21, either.

And thus, even ZUN got hit by the enshittification of Windows.

Oh, so that's why only the stage 2 boss and stage 3 themes have ZUNpets in them.

Oh fuck, Mukai Project 7th anniversary in roughly 2.5 weeks.

I had a Game Gear growing up. Got it as a present from my parents on my 6th birthday. We've pretty much always been a Sega family.
