UPDATE: I just got off the phone with the bank, and to get my car back, I need to pay the entire remaining balance, which is a little over $5K. I feel awful asking for any more after how overwhelmingly powerful the response has been so far(!), but unfortunately we aren't quite out of the woods yet.

I've had one regret with Oyaji Hunter Mahjong, one lingering task left undone. And now, today, I can finally say... I'VE BROKEN INTO KENJI ENO'S STAFF ROOM!!! Wooo!!! (this took like 2 days of decompilation, enjoy my struggles in blog post form~ PHEW~~) (also Oyaji Hunter v1.1 English patch)

Great video that also contains some amazing editing

not sure what the big deal is, it's just the classic picture of kirby

Honestly more games should be Ace Combat... youtu.be/yqtlcMOSMzg?...

in 2026 we're making websites again AND we're putting in those wacky html tags that are only readable by the dreamcast web browser to make the controller rumble and messages pop up on the vmu

Post a random picture of The Ooze. Or else.

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

UPDATE: WHAT I picked a round number based on overdue bills and the continued lack of employment for at least the very near future, and it's... Been met?? Somehow?? I can't believe what I'm looking at, I don't even know how to begin thanking all of you. This is staggering. Thank you so, so much.

So much of games history has been framed as toy nostalgia by default, often even below the iceberg tips of pop culture. Art history through a lens of consumption as opposed to one of creation. But the history of our craft is so much larger than whatever I grew up with.

My children have started their new school year after a long break due to the genocide.💔 We need £375 for month's school fees to make sure they can continue their education without worry.🙏🥹 Please, your support means stability and learning for them!😓

Been a while since I've actually pulled a truly random game off the shelf for #RandomGameSaturday, so here's a totally cromulent PS1 off-road racing game!

We are, again, dumbstruck by the response we've received so far. This is helpful beyond words right now and that means the entire world. I truly cannot thank you all enough. Hoping and praying that I can find something at least semi-stable in the new year, with any luck.

This is incredibly painful for me. I have never asked for help like this before. But I have had people reach out to me asking if they can help, so I am sharing my story and finally asking for help. I've been lucky to have a lovely group of followers here, please share if you can, anything helps <3

listen to this soundtrack! imagine how hard the music for your game could go if you hired Andrew satellitesound.bandcamp.com/album/silver...

Andrew did the logo-design work for my Twitch channel after I realized he was the one who made my favorite emblem in Destiny 2. He delivered phenomenal work beyond anything I ever expected, he was affordable, and now my channel looks way better than it has any right to. Such a pleasure to work with!

I am so deeply sorry to be in the position to have to pull this lever again, but I just watched my car get towed away and I don't really know what else to do anymore. More details in the update & description, but if you're able to help out or share, we would be grateful beyond words.

You couldn't make Tom & Jerry today. Tom or Jerry perhaps, but definitely not both.

One episode of Tom & Jerry would make ~70% of the users on this website disintegrate on contact

Critical Reflex got accused of some serious mismanagement issues from a former community manager. - Never got the contract they got promised - Paid less than minimum wage - No HR - Got sexualized by founder and former producer youtu.be/aB6jrARl_jA?...

will say fair play to outlets who accept they should've done this sooner and say so in clear terms.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

me: maybe I was being a bit hyperbolic when I referred to it as "the Genocide Game Boy" ModRetro: We are now producing a Limited Genocide™ Edition of the ModRetro Chromatic! Made from the real drones we really use to help the US Government and Israel commit genocide!

Patch day for Blast Rush LS on Steam and Switch! Highlights: - Improved loading in some spots, esp. on Switch/Switch 2 - Control remap in pause menu - Menu nav wrapping in Library pages ICYMI I shipped this game this year after a lot of hard work! Also it’s on sale! store.indie.io/blast-rush-ls

I recently traveled to Middenmeer in North Holland to visit a data centre belonging to Microsoft. These buildings, we now know thanks to reporting from the Guardian, +972 magazine and Local Call, were used by the IDF to store **hundreds of millions** of phone calls made by the people of Palestine.

on a completely unrelated note to lrt, i think there has never been a better time for a certain publisher who is hoarding the ip to said doujin game to be relentlessly and collectively bullied into returning it to its rightful owner a gross historic wrong they robbed it from him in the first place

Some of my favorite games of the last decade are in here

This is the case for me too. I’m rarely angry and am pretty even keeled/ jokey in general. But 2 years out of work and seeing the news this week hits such a sore point. Struggling in life and finances along with the state of everything creates this perfect storm that makes it difficult to stay calm

Indie Games were invented during the 2008 XBLA Summer Of Arcade, featuring Galaga™️ Legions, available now!

Eliza is 50% off. It’s a fully-voiced visual novel about an AI therapy app. It was released in 2019, years before the idea of AI became what it is now. How much did it get right? What did it get wrong? Play it for yourself (play the whole thing) and decide. store.steampowered.com/app/716500/E...

Seeing devs share more stories of horrible experiences they've endured in AAA under abusive ego monsters and sex pests, and while I understand why sympathetic people reach for the "boycott this studio" lever, the rot is unfortunately so much deeper and wider than that. There is much work to be done.

while we're on the topic of what's the correct way to implement placeholders in your game, here is an excerpt of unfinished dialogue from the april 2000 prototype of spyro 3

My private equity owned dentist does things a little differently. I pay a monthly fee to keep the teeth I already have, and if I unsubscribe they send a guy to knock them out

Any time you see a ton of people tripping and falling over each other to declare some guy The Special Genius Birthday Boy, you should be _extremely_ suspect.

Like a healthy games media would regularly put the screws to everyone, no matter how generally well-liked they are, because that's what the press is meant to do.

The year is 2035. There are three game studios left. Each one produces a game every 10 years, killing 250+ developers in the process. They all accidentally make the same game because they used genAI in preproduction. They sell 500 million units each, missing quarterly targets. Everyone is laid off.

Most of us did not choose to write or draw or design so that we could put products on the shelf. We chose to do it because it’s a set of skills we enjoy exercising, that give us fulfillment. It’s like asking a pro pitcher to just let a machine pitch for them. Fuck off and give me the ball.

Tecmo's Deception, Drake's Deception... Kinda weird franchise if you ask me but I guess if they wanna let him prance around laying traps and killing people in his haunted mansion, who am I to judge
