I write and make music but I mostly just talk about videogames too much. Pansexual, he/him.
Hilarious that the game awards are about to give fighting game of the year to 2XKO, another free to play online only beta just like Multiversus.
My vote goes to Virtua Fighter 5 REVO World Stage, but honestly Fatal Fuey probably deserves it more.

Just finished Dragon Quest 1 HD-2D Remake. The most astonishing thing they were able to accomplish was making the combat so engaging while not giving the hero a party. The new story additions are great, it looks beautiful, and the orchestrated score is incredible. Immediately starting DQ2 now!

I was there on day 1 mostly for the packed in Final Fantasy XII demo, which is a weird thing to say these days with all demos just being online. It was my first DQ game and I fell in love with the series so hard that I now have only one tattoo and its a slime!
I also ended up loving FFXII.

'Dragon Quest VIII' was released on the PlayStation 2 20 years ago today in the US.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI art slop, because your $70 means nothing anymore
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI generated artwork which makes the $70 feel like a complete rip-off.

I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

At a fancy jazz club and before the performers came out a voice over just came over the speaker to talk about house etiquette and it was 100% AI.

Shinobi is 100% completed and I'm currently working on Kung Fu-Trained next. So far, I found names such as @battleathlete.bsky.social @trickyeileen.bsky.social @drscottnik.bsky.social and @calebkinkaid.bsky.social under the Kung Fu-Trained section.
I began overhauling the original spreadsheet with a new look. This will take some time since I got to get through the game but as of right now, I have all of the Knuckleheads done. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Just bought Dragon Quest IX on the Walmart app for $15. A game that regularly sells for $50+ on eBay. Is it real? I'll find out in about a week!

From standing awestruck in front of an arcade machine at Cedar Point at 11 years old to having my name in the game 32 years later... it doesn't get much cooler than this. #VirtuaFighter

New favorite podcast just dropped. DF Retro is already one of my favorite things on YouTube so I'll definitely be highly anticipating each new episode of the podcast.
When Digital Foundry went independent, one of the new things we wanted to do was a brand-new retro podcast. Thanks to the massive efforts of John and his friends, the DF Retro Super Show goes live today, revisiting the launch of PlayStation 2. youtu.be/DqtLH0MOkgI

Virtua Fighter 5 is maybe the greatest fighting game ever made and Eileen is the most fun fighting game character I've ever played. Being able to play this game online now makes me wonder if I'll ever be able to be seriously dedicated to another fighting game ever again.
