John Hurst Is Probably Sleeping Zzzzzzzz
@johannhat.bsky.social
I do things! Make music/comedy, co-host the Video Death Loop podcast, Scruffy City FGC Production & Commentator. MostIy talk of butts. Also is Risky Sweep. He/Him.
Haven't done a weight update in a while because, uh, I've basically gained most of it back. :| I'm a little frustrated, no lie!

Going to blame being lax during winter and get back to it (already started before the new year), but it sucks feeling stuck in the same cycle over and over again.

Realized during my last session playing Dragon Quest 1 HD that the best healing spell was in a bookshelf I thought I checked four hours before. I had been Wild Side-ing Midheals to keep up with the HP thinking surely Moreheal would be there on the next level up! NOPE!

I am very slightly miffed.

Honestly kind of hurts a little to see how much effort I put into something over the years only people to go "Who?"

Not sure what else I can do there that I am not already doing.

Haven't done this in a while, but if you're in a fix and need a warm body on a podcast talking about video games (retro, rpg, fighting, everything in between), comedy things or beyond, hit me up!

We're about to hit 10 years of Video Death Loop also this year! I'm not sure how to feel about that!

There's a North American Granblue Fantasy Versus online awards for the year happening and I was pleased to learn I'm on the list under the Best Commentator category for it! I'm glad people like me yapping enough to make it memorable for the year! Genuine thanks to everyone who enjoys the work.

Not too surprising but the "Primer of Duel" how to play files in the Daemon Bride port are just pngs.

Nice to be able to easily mod it into a a potentially translated version though!

Since 2012, Arthur O'Dwyer has had an updating web page called The Search for LONG0751 about a lost version of Adventure that was playable on Compuserve. It has long been one of the top early "missing" games.

It is now found and playable:

LONG0751 has been found!
Back in 2021 I announced the rediscovery of a text adventure named Castlequest (Mike Holtzman and Mark Kershenblatt, 1980). This month another “lost game” has been found: David Long’s 751-point Advent...

"You can be sure there's going to be 10 or 15 Mais." - Someone's remark about Capcom Cup and also my dreams circa 1998.

My greatest accomplishment in 2025 was revenge against @thornghost.bsky.social over the course of two months, where every time it was my turn to host the Video Death Loop podcast I chose videos that had a potential thumbnail of a single panel of Loss.
Slight aside: Aaron loves to prank a few of us in a discord with random "loss" images and I got my revenge by making the small thumbnails i have been using as a test in my last four hosted episodes of the podcast into one elaborate loss for him to only realize this week. My revenge was sweet.

I have a Cook-Out and a Whattaburger within 10 minutes of me, yet this is all for naught as I'm still not any closer to Heaven (Pal's Sudden Service)

Sometimes putting a random anime on leads me to just yelling nonsense at the screen. Like, "WHERE IS YOUR MOUTH, DUDE?!?!" For 20 minutes

As required in the legally binding curse given to me by the Holiday Ghost, here is the video for this year.

I wrote up a post on this new event that I seriously hope people will join in - not right now though, holidays and all.

See you in January for Fighting Layer:

Love the desire people have to making websites again, but are they prepared to make three updates and only post six months later about how they're sorry for the lack of updates and more are coming REALLY soon?

Actually sort of messed up Little Mac has to only win two fights before he is in a match for a title belt. Clear favoritism from the World Video Boxing Association.

Been playing Dragon Quest I HD this weekend and I'm pretty happy that despite the extra story beats they still allow you to do my favorite thing which is "You are definitely not supposed to be here, but you walked all this way so uh, good luck with all that."

Everyone leaving the Game Awards: Don't forget to pick up your gift bag and abandoned baby that you will take care of as you become a true warrior against an onslaught of enemies.

My one worry: Dual Override on the Mega Man title makes me think more dual gear stuff from Mega Man 11 and... Man, I hope not! I found myself more annoyed using the mechanic in that one than anything else.

Time will tell though!
