Panel de Pon single credit clear w/ no character deaths… but accidentally selected hard instead of very hard. It’s been years since I’ve played so maybe that was for the best… I did alright at least, heh heh.

Enjoyed RE4make! I had only played Mercenaries in high school so it was nice to enjoy the actual game. I’m interested in going back to the original RE4 at some point.

Included with 1993 point 'n' click adventure game Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers is a neat 'Making Of' video showcasing its Hollywood voice cast. Behind the scenes at Sierra On-Line HQ where we get some prime Tim Curry being, well, Tim Curry at his smoothest. #VideoBytes

Got credits roll in Pokopia the other night and forgot to post here. This is definitely the kind of game that steals all my time even after I “beat” it lol.

Final Fantasy 1 complete. Definitely an old game but glad I pushed through. Felt I was over leveled until the final boss (took a few tries and understanding temper stacks lol).

A deadly encounter on the streets of 21st Century Kyoto in the wake of devastation from an earthquake that also unleashed a horde of demons - and magic back into the world. A point-and-click and RPG hybrid that received an English translation in 2019. 📺: Makyouden, Nihon-Create, 1992 (PC-9801)

thinking about the funniest joke ever put into a video game again

vertical shmups have names like "Understated Sadness" and sidescrolling shmups have names like "Glorbian"

2025 game completion recap: Yume Nikki Passed MAX 300 Gabriel Knight 3 (group) Split Fiction A Lively Haunt (group) Resident Evil 2make Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Slay the Princess Save the Date Little gaming outside of Saturday nights this year as a good chunk of my free time went to game dev.

Group Dragonsweeper playthrough tonight. Excellent little game!

Friend threw me a short adventure vn called Save the Date! and I played through it today. I can see why it left an impression on him. It seems it was a finalist for a couple different awards years ago but I wonder how well known it is these days.

Friend got his Analogue 3D in the mail today and promptly sent this to the group discord @quest64official.bsky.social

Got both endings for Act 2 and started Act 3. I did basically everything I could before the final fight on the recommendation of a couple different friends. I… now understand why lol.

If you're at PRGE, stop by booth #1107 and say hi to me and my bro! We've got a lot of random things for sale from retro to current video games, anime, cute stuff, BL things (??), some of my art, and more! You can also just let me talk your ear off about Zonda, if you're into that, too! #PRGE2025

My partner and I will be at the Portland Retro Game Expo this Sunday showing off a little Archipelago supported Pico-8 bumpRPG we made last summer. Swing by to check out The Forged Curse at the @pigsquad.com booth! chairodactyl.itch.io/the-forged-c...

Slay the Princess was a fun time. One of the folks sitting in had played before and the routes were nearly all different to his experience. Sidenote, been listening to The Magnus Archives for the first time so unexpected Jonathan Sims jump scare. His va work here was fantastic as expected.

And Expedition 33 complete! What a game.

Finally beat a Resident Evil with RE2make. Excellent game. Glad I finally got to it. Leon hits a lot of notes in terms of characters I enjoy so that was a good bonus. I over saved because I could, heh heh

Fun group play through of A Lively Haunt!

Beat Split Fiction last night. Story and characters were kinda shallow but it was still a fun play through.

Friends…

I was blessed with a levitating guy in the intro to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

ALRIGHT! I'm just gonna lay it out. I don't have health insurance and my anatomy has chosen to betray me once again. So! I need a mammogram and that's gonna run me $650 dollars. I also need an ultrasound, but I think I can at least cover that one on my own. www.twitch.tv/enthuseconfuse #stream

Sometimes you bug friends for years to help you hack a dream game, but then as a twist hitomi2500 comes from another project and drops the whole script in my lap! We're finally translating Airs Adventure!! This game is such a beautiful adventure full of nonsense, I'm excited~

I loved @anhdangerous.bsky.social 's original artwork so much that I had to make it myself. It houses an OEM PsOne, with a handful of mods, including a functional (but not comfortable) Claw Based controller.

I’m normally a no bar player but I caved and used the bar but finally technically passed MAX300. Only took me like 20 years lmao

That struggle of posting art online.

Gabriel Knight 3 has been unintentionally hilarious so far. We also solved the infamously bad puzzle, but we knew a bit about it already (it involved a cat).

I’ve attempted to get through Yume Nikki a few times over the years but with the urging of my partner, I finally did it. I’m surprised I was not spoiled on the ending.

Some perfect little wheeled things for your timeline

[Fanart/Animation] SQUEEEEEEEEESH #Bravern

Playing Robot Alchemic Drive and thinking about Eva put this image in my head, and I had to draw it. How's Nanao gonna get a job now?!

I got a lightly used Steam Deck for Christmas and I’m genuinely impressed by its build quality and how good the controller and buttons feel. While it’s not as smooth a system as the Switch as far “it just works” goes, everything else blows it out of the water. Nintendo, take note.

Had a great day celebrating @enthuseconfuse.bsky.social’s birthday today!! I also got to be the cool partner that won the claw machine toys for my babe (who does not have a bsky)

This year’s gardening adventures will be growing some interesting peppers from seed. None of these are in the superhot category (e.g. ghost pepper, reapers, etc) and should have variety of spice levels. I like a good spicy pepper but the superhots scare me.

fun fact: the PS5's popped collar was designed as a tribute to Chad Warden

My 2024 games beat list: - Mario Wonder - Alan Wake II - Lookouts - Buckshot Roulette - Final Fantasy VII Rebirth - Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers - Gato Roboto - Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree - Lyle in Cube Sector - Balatro - The Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight Story - Mouthwashing

So I know that GF stands for "Guardian Force" in FFVIII but little me couldn't help think of it being anything other than "Girlfriend". Wouldn't it be cool to tell people that Ifrit's your girlfriend? Hmm? Hmmm?

HAPPY ALMOST CHRISTMAS

December 20, 2004 saw the release of Doukutsu Monogatari, AKA Cave Story, a free game that was quickly translated into English and became the talk of the Internet. It's hard to estimate the impact it had on the indie scene and on the resurgence of 2D outside handheld consoles.

Going to the movies by yourself is one of life’s hidden pleasures. Just you and a large popcorn and some sour patch kids and all of your big goblin energy alone in the dark where nobody can see your shame. Priceless.
