New pinned post! I put together a Linktree, linktr.ee/turboshawn, so people can easily find all my stuff in one, up-to-date place. I'm also *finally* making use of my own domain: turboshawn.com now sends you there as well! 😊

Hey gang, I had to step out for a bit, did I miss anything?

I haven't been able to finish it or do proper review coverage yet due to timing, but I've been playing Phantom Blade Zero and having a fantastic time. So far, it's been the character action game that sickos like me have been waiting for. You'll hear my full thoughts on it on the Bombcast this week.

On today's stream, I learned to never underestimate my opponent. 🙂

Time for more Castlevania: Belmont's Curse! www.twitch.tv/turboshawn

in a world of AI slop its goated to see real people go out there and say "im going to add larry the cucumber to shovelware smash bros"

Alright. Let's see how Cursed this Belmont really is. www.twitch.tv/turboshawn

I have been meaning to write about this for a month or so now but it breaks my heart. AI has infected every hobby. Everything is noise. It's hurting existing communities and trudging through the slop is exhausting.

I had to go on Twitter to confirm this was real because Ship Awesome Games In A Weekend having a hand with six fingers was so on the nose I was about to pass out

[metroid] a wish she wrote about when she was a kid

See now we're fucking talking One of the only weapons we wield in this fight is our money and attendance, and if everyone involved with an event says "I'm not going unless you stop using AI" there's only two outcomes: *No AI or No Convention* Conventions are made by and for the community

I am SO fucking tired of techbro assholes writing puff pieces about Asha Sharma. Every time, it's just them taking her "Don't worry, everything's gonna be great! Eventually!" attitude and using it to somehow glaze the awful things Microsoft has done to their employees and this industry.

Well you see, he’s CAPtain COMmando… CAP COM… Like Capcom.

Add “being fucking snitches” to the ever-growing list of reasons to hate the ESA.

I shit you not, every single day I read about retro video games and discover the names of 5 more video games I've never heard of that the mere description threatens to rip my fucking face off. I'm set for life. If the AAA industry wants to burn to the ground, I couldn't possibly give less of a shit.

Actual pic of me having loads of spooky ideas but being too busy with work stuff to draw them.

The only Christopher Columbus you should be celebrating today is the one who made Home Alone and Mrs Doubtfire. And even then you should probably only count the stuff he did in the 20th century

NEW VIDEO We're delivering pizza, we're watching a baby getting eaten by a fish, and we're watching me losing the will to live. It's a fun time! Obscure & Forgotten PS1 Games Vol.18 is out now! youtu.be/CKbJ5bFixRE

Okay, so far I've learned that Soma Cruz is a high school kid who rules over monsters but still gets stuck in a castle with topless spider ladies shooting him with machine gun boobs and literal Death wanting to chop his punk-ass head off, let's see how this plays out: www.twitch.tv/turboshawn

The Igavania Castlevanias are a huge gaming blind spot for me, and the Metroidvania fans in my life tell me is the best one. Let's continue the spooky month streams with a first-time playthrough of Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow! 🙂 www.twitch.tv/turboshawn

this is the face I'm make when Jan, Mike, and Chuck give me three different poses for the one pose I am supposed to pass on to Jerf.

Hey Mat why are fewer younger and less affluent households investing in consoles or buying $80 video games right now? Idk man call Sherlock Holmes cuz it's a real gd mystery.

Sega is like your friend who struggles from time to time. yeah they mess up but ultimately you support them and celebrate their success when you can SNK is some stranger who is wearing your friends face. They talk about the good ol' days and try to fit in but deep down you know something is wrong

I love Galactic Racer's cuck cam!

If you leave short story-sized comments in your code, it should be to explain something so messed up that you need to leave a message to yourself, Memento-style See: the first half of a comment block I left in the weapon code of Reelism 2

Oh yeah Titanfall 2 is on mega sale right now on PC if you don’t have it.

Took him long enough.

M-M-M-MAAARIOOOOO!!! www.twitch.tv/turboshawn

today marks a whopper of an anniversary as we released the very first episode of Retronauts on October 4, 2006. Twenty years of podcasts! Thank you for listening for two entire decades. What's your favorite episode or Retronauts memory?

Heads-up on PPSSPP. Info in the thread on the last versions that don't contain it. The dev has gone off the deep end into Claude is my best friend territory.

SPOOKY MONTH IS HERE! Let's start it off right with the spookiest of Metroid games 👻 www.twitch.tv/turboshawn

Jacob Geller is no longer a part of MinnMax. He won't be on content moving forward and we won't be publicly airing this week's episode of The MinnMax Show. We're in shock and deeply hurt. Thank you for your patience during this sensitive time.
