I'm Victor Hunter.

I sing. I dance.
I act on stage and behind the mic.
I podcast.
I love old video games.

Website w/ demos, resume, studio specs, and agent info are probably in my bio?
Finding this was high priority while in Japan.
@mrn0093.bsky.social has been such a huge inspiration for me and this book is worth it for the sketches alone. Incredible fashion, gorgeous shapes, gorgeous absence of shapes. I feel inspired just thinking about it.

Compile released more games than what went to major consoles or retail. They also put out a whole bunch of smaller games for their subscription disk magazine, Disc Station. Like Carbuncle Pi, a variant of Compile's Nyanpi "action-puzzle" game featuring their mascot, which is now part of EggConsole
Past meets present: Carbuncle Pi
D4's ProjectEgg is adding Compile's Disc Station games to its library, so now you can solve platforming puzzles with Carbuncle.

Everything that appeases capitalism eventually pivots to nostalgia to minimize risk. In gaming, that means a feedback loop of remakes that slowly cannibalizes the very creativity that built the industry.

Matsubara got us all to stand up and play rock paper scissors against him as a group. When you lost a hand you sat down. When 4 were left they all named their favourite character and whoever won between them determined who Matsubara would draw.
I was cheering for the woman who picked Lobelia.

Square Enix has released printable paper pieces of Final Fantasy Tactics characters. Fans can download and print them for use in board games or display. When combined with the pop-up art included in the Final Fantasy Tactics Collector’s Box, the pieces allow scenes from the game to be recreated.

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish.

2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

"Dreamcast", a haiku

Each day he rises.
Asks me, "Is it still launch day?"
"Yes," I lie. "Always."

Naughty Dog has the best talent in the industry and works them half to death creating what will probably be the best work of their careers. And to what end?
To render a zionist hate fantasy in harrowing detail for a game that spends 30+ hours making a point that any sane-person already understood.
core gameplay systems are good, insane technical art in there, even some compelling story beats; but its such a bloated mess, structurally and pace-wise makes no sense, and then everything is permeated with neil's endless zionist drivel. its nauseating at best, and is so unfocused to no point

A lot of people are struggling right now (myself included), but if you’re someone who happens to be in a place where you can afford to donate, a reminder that I have both a Patreon and a Gofundme. More funds go straight to me via the latter, while the former provides stability.
I guess everyone's plugging again on more bad news, so here we go. Trans video essayist, forgotten video game history, a little too obsessed with Metroid. Sub on Patreon or one-time donation on GoFundMe.

It's hard to know what to say or whether it's even worth adding to the doom - what I will say is buy your trans friends' weird zine, their album, their art game - buy them a beer or a soda or a meal - give them some ko-fi money for doing absolutely nothing. We gotta protect trans kids and adults.
