Also - one thing to note about playing this on Steam. Make sure your audio is set to 48khz output. I was using a DAC at 192khz and it sure does not like that. So if you get garbled sound, that's why.

The first version of Earthion is out. This is one of those games that, if you have any interest in 2D shooters or the Mega Drive, you just buy it. It is an absolute masterpiece. This is among the best 16-bit shooters I've ever played at this point. Seeing 'of the era' devs returning to OG hardware=🔥

Anyone have recommendations for narrow glass display cases for video games? I have a few cool things I'd like to put on display.

Honestly, for me, this feels like the final straw. I get it - Microsoft is there to make money blah blah, but this truly feels like Xbox is over. The Switch 2 already took the spot of the Series X in my setup. I've been using more Linux and MacOS too.

With the help of @dark1x.bsky.social , I finally revamped my console game setup. Got a 55” G4 LG OLED, along with DIY shelves for current gen consoles and a sound bar below, while my complete Biohazard collection sits above. Quite happy with this!
