it's coming tonight!!!

I am obsessed with his tokimeki memorial video I've gotten a few friends to watch it even though it's 6 hours long

Is the new one still Cyberpunk? I feel like I remember him saying it'd be out, like, last January lmao. no shame, his shit is good, I'm sure it takes a ton of work

Hey thanks for noticing and telling me - however late, I still fixed the link. Amps are a true pestilence of modern internet.

Non-amp link.

For a supposedly meaningless game, it had such a delightfully bonkers narrative that really ends up being more memorable than the vast majority of game stories.

Dang I just bought that like a month ago. P fun

control is one of my favorite games of the past few years

what an epic megagame

dang I'm sad I missed this

I will buy this and then probably never use any of them thank you

i don't know if i'm ever actually going to make a game but spritestack looks extremely interesting to me

Oh yea! I skimmed the article to the end originally and I realize I came off as more negative than I intended lol

I appreciate the input the author has too. For historical appreciation of videogames, I really think it's important people know that emulation and media like these restorations aren't true to the source.

E.g. I love Shovel Knight and The Messenger and all the modern pixel-art aesthetic but they aren't replicating the real look of pixels blasted onto a CRT. I have a strong memory of being surprised by the realism of the hand in SNES clue. The dithering looks different when it's a tad fuzzy. I know this is a lukewarm take but I'm excited for if indie devs experimentally regress in technology, and are releasing experimental games for specialized hardware with shitty displays (or whatnot). Like Panic's 'PlayDate' with a monochrome display and a hand-crank.

i think i agree fully with this set of tweets i saw about how someone felt about this article: https://twitter.com/afewbruises/status/1359228036659355651

Did you read to the end?

This is the first I heard of this trend and I'm binging these once I'm out of this meeting. I see what the author is going for but I am excited nonetheless

it's still interesting to hear though

I've about 50% forgotten what this product was again.

rip in peace ascii art shader

hmm maybe i should give freeciv (basically a civ 2 clone) a spin

I'm in awe.

Sid Meier's better title for his memoir

wooah i had this and think about it a lot, i cant remember if it was good but i dont think it was, there was a king of the hill game too

I would simply pet the camel instead of letting it explode
