Your friendly neighborhood gutter rat with a penchant for trash. Mad about modern video games.
Yeah I think I'm done with #gundamtcg after NTC3 until they do something about Wing and OYW. (Spoiler alert they won't)

Hoo boy, Phantasy Star 1 has not aged well.

Friendly reminder that, in the #gundamtcg, there are other decks you can play that aren't G/W Wing.

Would be nice if Valve drops a public release of SteamOS before October of 2025, just sayin'.

As someone who's looking to commission some OC art but never has before, I have *no* clue where to start.

There is not a single point in any timeline in any universe where Gary Jules' cover of Mad World is in any way even remotely superior to the Tears for Fears original.

Mega CD + Mega Drive is still the best-looking hardware combo of all time. No further questions please

Excited to start #Snatcher for a few reasons. For one, I'll be challenging my biases as, generally, I think Kojima is overrated. Also I have very little experience with VNs, having only played The Nonary Games and a bit of Danganronpa. But Blade Runner meets Terminator? Hello? #retrogames #segacd

So I ended up being closer to the end of #Terranigma than I thought. Ended up finishing it last night. Illusion of Gaia really set the bar high for me, and I can't help but feel a little let down. Overall I think I'm gonna have to give it a 6.5/10. Thoughts in the replies. #snes #retrogaming

Maybe I should do one of those intro posts that seem to be popular around here? I'm just a rat that enjoys the following:

Retro Games
Tabletop Games
Consumer Advocacy
Gundam
Battletech
FMV
CRTs
FPGA

"why do people keep pirating our 20+ year old games?"

Because people keep doing this shit

Game grading is and always will be a fucking scam and is the absolute cancer of the retro gaming market
I'd rather play my games than pay out the ass for someone to seal it in a perspex brick for infinity

Currently working Terranigma. I have high hopes for this one as Illusion of Gaia is one of my favorite games of all time. Solid so far, but haven't really been wowed yet. Reserving final judgment until the end though. #Terranigma #retrogames #snes

So I recently played through Chrono Trigger first time. Kinda mad I waited 29 years but it actually lived up to the hype. What a banger. Focusing on playing more retro games so I can actually enjoy video games again and man did that set the bar awfully high.

Oh boy, time to start screaming into the void about video games.
