what i have learned about myself this month is that trying to meaningfully engage with the world design, story, dialogue, or atmosphere of a video game is absolutely impossible when playing co-op, which is apparently only suited for fun shenanigans in other words, orbitals so far < part time u.f.o.

wanted to check out some of the new sicko games on nintendo's gba app but instead i've been tearing my way through puzzle league, it is simply too spiritually soothing my eighth panel de pon and it still goes down perfect. and there was even a surprise, vertical mode!

Phonopolis is $18.74 on Steam buff.ly/nlFMcKE Humble buff.ly/pSJVP5O #ad

wondering if this was a break glass in case of an emergency situation for amanita anyways, if you enjoy aesthetic wonderlands and czech voiceovers (recently added!) buy phonopolis right now

not to harp on it but this is a game that I think would've had a much larger footprint (& larger than than of nominally similar, recently-buzzing micom games like Dead of the Brain or Laplace no Ma) if the PCECD version didn't absolutely smother the vibes (to say nothing of recent developments...)

finished panic bomber w through sheer blind luck, which is why i am sharing both representative screens of my skill level elated to have experienced this beautiful perfectly soundtracked fun in english, this was close to being one of the greats, really too bad about the wild racism!

cannot believe that waiting dozens of years for lufia 2 and terranigma has actually paid off in 2027. gimme treasure of the rudras and that's my entire snes dream list sorted, what an absolutely wild time we live in

occultist contemporary horror, faithful mythological demons, COMPUTER interface, and now a moon phase mechanic. this game and i were meant to be together.

an elegant diagetic in-game exhortation to RTFM

bye bye obamerman

and now i am the first person in north america to finish u.f.o. day in the life on switch 2 (lol) my review: this game really needed some moon discs!!! i anticipate that over time, like every lovedelic work, memories of tedium or player hostility will fade and only the magical moments will remain

it's official. i am the only person in the world whose first and only finished virtual boy game is dragon hopper. i dare anyone to challenge this claim.

currently obsessed with the soundtrack, vibe, and whole general deal of onryou senki, thanks eggconsole www.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dn2MJ5pawNMQ&usg=AOvVaw0L4jgP6fI_ei2Q3IBSRCNJ&opi=89978449

panic bomber w in english for the first time out of nowhere and it looks great, konami out here doing it better than anyone lol

When I have two Amiga games in the review queue:

this is the rpg mode of puyo box ps1 for the curious. its good. this is how arle opens doors in it

it took 19 aliens rescued for lens to produce something somewhat sensical, even if it keeps calling this guy ET EF

no that was quite enough, my ff16 journey is in fact, finished.

For @aftermath.site, we're in a boom period for fan translations of unique games that we never made it to the west. I focused on four: Kamaitachi no Yoru, Kowloon's Gate, London Spirit Detectives, and Innocent Tears, and spoke to the people behind the projects. aftermath.site/kamaitachi-n...

yooooo they actually added a czech voiceover and it's perfect which means now phonopolis is perfect store.steampowered.com/news/app/120...

@allcityslopshop.com thank u as always for the must-read round up post i just want to point out that the elthlead write-up amusingly trails off into nothing at the end and that the thumbnail for the gmode game starring a young girl needs to be deleted thx!!

google lens cannot withstand the font or prose of ufo day in the life, even more of a mess than usual all i'm saying is we could stand to get a fifth miracle fan loc this month don't you think

why did i think u.f.o. had a fan translation i think i confused it with l.o.l. oh noooo

For anyone interested, developer Taro Kudo, who apparently usually keeps a very low media profile, will be on Hamster's stream tomorrow to talk about the game's creation

twenty hours into ff16 and so far i would say my favorite accomplishments have been finishing rhythm heaven and denshattack

the europeans keep making jp fetishistic 32-bit homages that unfortunately absolutely rule, shout out to promise mascot agency and denshattack

taking this opportunity to remind the world that the creator of Boku no Natsuyasumi made a modern-gen summer vacation game called Natsu-Mon that you can buy on PC & Switch rn (idk if or to what extent they turned things around but the creator's said that the PC version was a massive bomb...)

next up is continued ff16 drudgery, 10 hours in and i really need that game to go back to being about cool summons looking cool

i am in a long stretch of ff16 that doesn't involve any summons and i have realized that when it comes to this game i am basically only in it for the parts with the summons

picked up a physical bundle of joy concentrate while we still can

hey gamers, pls rise up against sony, thx

Beep21 has just published an interview with Yoji Ishii, Hiro and Masaki Kondoh to mark the 40th anniversary of Fantasy Zone. In it, we learn that it was the late Yoko Kobayashi / 小林陽子, character designer for Alex Kidd and Teddy Boy, who designed Opa Opa and most of the other characters in the game.

it only took two months, but i have achieved the super nintendo maximum

After many years of development, the Kowloon's Gate English Patch is now available.

hit credits in phonopolis. three fewer beam puzzles and one additional czech voiceover away from being a simply perfect game. i will listen to this soundtrack forever. go ahead and treat yourself to it. amanita-design.net/games/phonop...

been carefully portioning out my phonopolis play sessions like precious gems and was rewarded less than an hour in with what may be one of the most beautiful game sequences i have ever experienced holy moly
