deeply depressing also to see replies to this post saying "well i just want to see pretty lights i dont like getting better at stuff." games as art indeed
Painful review of the Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle on Steam that really highlights how destructive the continue system was to people's perception of arcade games. The beat 'em ups mentioned play wildly different from one another if you're actually trying to survive on 1 credit.

This is another reason why AI losers have gotten into retro decomp/recomp projects. Nobody wants to play AI slop games, so they have to reinforce the value of AI by producing something desirable, which in this case is just repackaging the work of actual talented people.
just wanted to share something i discovered the amount of games released in 2022 compared to this year has increased by 77%. I use 2022 because that marks the last year before AI really took over the internet whats crazy to me is that the amount of games with ZERO REVIEWS has ALMOST TRIPLED. ZERO?
glad to see everyone is still enjoying my tunes in Jinx feel free to download and listen to it any time u want :D funbil.bandcamp.com/track/heaven...

New post! Join me as I gush about the iconic shmup Gradius, psychedelic sci-fi, and the importance of never listening to the internet (except for me, listen to me). Oh and moai. Lots and lots of moai. 🗿🗿🗿 Give it a read, punk!!

New Blog Post: Why I Love Unfair Traps in Arcade Games People usually dislike hard memo traps in arcade games, or at best think they're "not that bad". I love them, though, and I think arcade games would be worse without them. Here's why: duckberet.com/blog/i-like-... (game: Violent Storm)

Replying to @farawaytimes.bsky.social
it's deranged the extent to which people who ostensibly know a lot about videogames dead-ass Cannot Understand that one can both take ten minutes to fully experience and be well-crafted and complete. imagine putting a poem or short story in front of an MFA class and getting "where's the rest of it?"

Because one person demanded it! A bsky exclusive video! As far as I can tell, Alice in Flagland is the first hip-hop song in video games. Here's the song in its entirety! youtu.be/06WdayRfqjE

You can’t even comprehend how important Eien ni Hen’s work is to the fan translation community. Romancing SaGa, Fire Emblem, Sakura Wars, Tear Ring Saga, Glory of Heracles, Dragon Force II, Dark Half, Beyond Oasis, Psi-O-Blade, Arabian Nights, and so much more. What a loss. Rest in peace.
In memory of the translator, Eien ni Hen. May she rest in peace.
