This about wraps up what I can add musically to streaming services for a while. I've got dozen of plans, and several songs finished (in my head lol), but even then I'll hit up #bandcamp @bandcamp.com first! After 6-12 months, we'll see... youtube.com/channel/UCtx...

#Tenchu 4 (Shadow Assassins) was bold, but 3 (Wrath of Heaven/Return from Darkness) just included so many quality of life improvements that the games needed that make it a masterpiece! I never bothered @fromsoftware_pr or @astargames_en for a revival, but perhaps now it's time!

Absolutely classic late 2000s marketing for a game that was pretty decent fun. That song still floats into my memories from time to time.
I totally forgot the remaster was coming, so that’s my afternoon sorted. I’m going to hear NPCs sing this shit to themselves and get it stuck in my head again.

There's a Sacred 2 remaster out today, and trailers look incredibly bland and generic, especially compared to promotional material at the time, when they got BLIND GUARDIAN to do a song for the game, and they were NPCs in the game who you had to do a quest for to retrieve their lost instruments.

Vicar of Dibley is a good show by the way! The humor can be... unexpected, to say the least.

It's funny I can dislike 99.99% of grunge, but adore shoegaze like it's a completely different animal (despite uncanny similarities). Maybe I'm still bitter about grunge bands not taking metal bands on tour with them despite metal bands letting grunge bands open all the time youtu.be/WSMP2x6v5fI?...

10 Democrats are ready to cave to Trump's demands to end the shutdown. I assume those are the same ones who voted for the last CR and backed many of Trump's nominees. Shaheen and Fetterman backed 11 of Trump's yes-men. Hassan backed 10. If you call Chuck Schumer, call them as well. Apply pressure.

I detect some snark, but like all art (and especially music btw), sometimes you have to dig a bit to find some gold...
Everybody should just pirate everything. Download all the ROMs you can, play old games that Nintendo wants to charge you $60 for the privilege of playing again, anybody who has a problem with this has incurable cop-brain and you shouldn't listen to anything they say
tbh as much as official rereleases are good for accessibility, I also feel like a lot of people just won't play games if they don't have official versions and that's not great for culture. Everyone should be downloading random ROMs until they find that special one that breaks their brain wide open.

Heads up for folx playing Arc Raiders: Embark has openly stated (in an interview with GamesRadar+), that the game uses the same AI voice tech as The Finals, and the CEO has talked about using AI to generate 3D models from YouTube rips.
If you're anti-AI you should not be playing Arc Raiders!

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

The SNES and it's controller are two of the best things in retro gaming... however Nintendo would have saved people a lot of headaches if they put the B button on the left, and the A button on the bottom. With B on the bottom, it's harder to roll your thumb upwards to right A in Super Mario games.

Good digital hygiene update, friends. Look into it.
Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.
