This should happen all the time, like I love that GG Aleste 3 is genuinely a Game Gear game to be played on a Game Gear and just happens to have a digital version. Changeable Guardian Estique is an NES game first. More of this, these systems have plenty to offer in the present!

hello. me and my friend, who have been raising a cat together for 14 years, need some help. our baby is fighting bladder cancer and needs an expensive surgery and some additional care to get her back to a good quality of life. if you'd like to help, we're running a little fundraiser. thank you!

arcade games are like if someone invented jazz to sell gumballs

the only video worth rescuing from my deleted twtter

New — I spoke to parents whose kids are former patients of NYU Langone's trans youth health care program about the Texas criminal subpoena for their private health records. "I was furious. I was in disbelief. I was scared for my child's well-being." Read my full report:

i lied, i don't have a switch 2. take off your shoes, we are playing armed police batrider

... and fixing the bug in the bullet collision detection also helps, apparently.

Reminder that there's no better time than the present to get into vintage computing. The c64, the msx, the amiga, the apple II, the zx spectrum, the atari st? They'll all run on a potato. And they boot up into basic prompts, not into ChatGPT

in one of my classic “uh actually good thing bad” moves, I don’t love that everyone goes into “games are art!” mode when a specific kind of artsy game comes along (that I really want to play btw) only to see that vanish when it’s like ty the tasmanian tiger 5

I really believe when we went from "watching randos play at the local arcade" to "watching the best playing on twitch" the way people interact with arcadey games was completely distorted unrealistic expectations and impossible standards of performance started being set and such.

hey guys - still freaked out about this, still looking. if you hear of something for may 1st or june 1st let me know.

Hey, did you know Haruomi Hosono scored a soundtrack for an obscure rail shooter for the PlayStation? And that the audio is fully playable if you put the game disc in your CD player? Here's the story of a hidden gem by one third Yellow Magic Orchestra. 🚀 www.shy.center/p/lattice-20...

hey guys - i'm in a pretty dire housing situation right now. i have to move at the end of the month (lease expires) but prior plans w/ people completely fell apart & i'm back to square one. i'm looking for a room in Brooklyn, trans friendly, 1100 a month max, not a temporary sublet. plz let me know.

We're rolling out our new feature RoboBully, which lets tech bros with god complexes rapidly scrub through all the data on our website in search of new victims to harass. No, no, no you don't understand, you imbecile. This is good actually. You're just too stupid to comprehend that, you cretin.

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

People don't seem to be having good faith responses to my "Does calling someone a bad person make YOU a bad person?" Substack post today

Somebody said millennials usually use their television (instead of smartphones) for major viewings, including watching movies. I can't stop thinking about this.

so for those playing anti-trans op-ed & news bingo, apparently today's entry is "Matt Yglesias" in the "New York Times" with the "Democrats should throw trans people under the bus"... juliaserano.medium.com/anti-trans-o...

Grigori Kozintsev’s Hamlet (1964) boasts the greatest depiction of the Ghost I’ve seen, on screen or stage. A disembodied suit of armor moving like slow-motion clockwork, billowing cape rolling and rippling like the black ocean or the rumbling storm clouds overhead, wheezing with a dead whisper.

With every season School Spirits strengthens its claim to be the best show on TV and makes the five people who watch it feel insane when they tell their friends that that Paramount+ exclusive about the spirits in the school that's fucking titled "School Spirits" is the best show since Mad Men

As always, fascinated by the current Christian Right's stunning ignorance of basic, Sunday school level, millennia old Christian doctrine

Every trans woman I know has had "why not be an effeminate man?" shoved in our faces for ages and yet thus piece suggests that even once suggesting an effeminate boy might be trans is some sort of crime against humanity. This is transphobia.

This is what I need cis folks to understand. It's been a decade. Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

This effectively forces every trans person in the state to out themselves while applying for a job, renting an apartment, or being stopped by police. It's part of the same law that allows anyone to sue anyone else they suspect of being trans and using the "wrong" bathroom.

just juxtaposing the idea that caring about trans people’s safety & dignity isn’t “culturally normal” with: • 401,000 people fleeing homes • “if the gender/sex…on the face of your current credential does not match your sex assigned at birth, you are directed to surrender your current credential”

The 1st time the nyt leadership engaged me on trans issues, in 2021, they asked my opinion of a Jesse Singal review of a book by the transphobic writer Helen Joyce. The piece had been assigned by Pamela Paul 🧵

Here's the thing I will continue saying every time this came up: Kamala Harris did not mention trans people in her campaign. She went out of her way to avoid it. She dodged every question on trans rights. And then she still lost. So what Newsom wants is *open hostility* to trans rights

Guys being Dudes

Still can't get over Donna Summer MacArthur Park as the music choice. No notes, etc.

Qud on Switch is Qud on Switch. Some slowdown in chaotic spots like CtA but for the most part plays just like it does on PC. Really excited to have a portable way to play one of the best games ever made

I come out on the Nintendo Switch tomorrow. Buy my ass to support www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

Happy Valentine's Day from Caves of Qud!

Happy Fri Feb 13, aka Armed Police Batrider Day! Next one isn't until 2032 so make sure you get some runs in this year to tide you over

Hello. For my newsletter, I wrote an essay about the compilation that got me into Japanese new wave. Tokyo Mobile Music is an imperfect package with a spotty history surrounding it, so I went ahead and filled in the gaps and wrote some liner notes for you myself. www.shy.center/p/tokyo-mobi...

And I hope Newsom can maybe read the God damn Bible

Hey girls. It's my birthday, it's new year's eve, but most importantly: it's buddy list day. For the fourth time, here's my annual tradition where I invite my friends to take up some space on my newsletter and talk about how they spent their year. Thanks for reading. 💜 www.shy.center/p/buddy-list...
