I wrote a long article about Rieko Kodama, her career at Sega, the evolution of her company, the games she worked on (including some canceled games and/or games for which she is not credited), the status of women and working conditions in the video game industry, etc.

Fun little site I stumbled on.
SNES Random does what it says on the tin: it gives you a random SNES game you should play, with a little preview video of the game.

Maybe this is a radical thought but LGBT games and anime boob games both have the right to exist and be purchased

While I do think that aiming the games at a western release will almost definitely limit the series that can appear due to licensing costs/issues, I'm happy that the last attempts seem to have sold well enough to continue.

That's probably my only real issue with foobar. It's so very utilitarian.
I can't download a zip file that turns the ui into a picture of Belldandy, with the controls being reskinned animated sparkles.

WINAMP REALLY WHIPPED THE LLAMA’S ASS!

Life was better when apps were tools designed to organize and execute a simple well-defined function (ie. play music) rather than storefronts disguised as tools.

I mean, sure. Junji art on a shirt is amazing, but why are all Uniqlo design choices kind of underwhelming?

Give me a song, any song, any genre. I'll listen to it and respond with something I liked about it.
I don't have a huge amount of followers, but I'm always interested in hearing new music, and practicing being positive about things.

My PC e-homies, trust me, for $1, you can play one of the best 16-bit RPGs out there and it deserves to stand proudly next to Chrono Trigger & Final Fantasy IV/VI. #PhantasyStar IV, imo, is #SEGA's best of the best RPG of the 16-bit era. It'll be delisted on 12/6, get it!
