heard this unused version of "pulse", youtu.be/kZho6pBbAhc?... -- immediately fell back in love with the payday 2 assault wave tracks. absolutely undefeated

early last year i made a silly web game, scrandle.com -- the process really annoyed me and i didnt have the heart to self-promote it, particularly at the time i wrote it off as a failure but it seems to have got some traffic? the domain was going to lapse but i'll look at maintaining it a bit

one thing i realised is that i love driving games but dont really care for like, lap-based time-attacks or vs-other-drivers stuff. i love a crazy taxi i love a blast corps i love such things as these

(increasingly frustrated) won't SOMEONE!!!!!! let me craft powerful synergies!!!!

if there's one problem with cirqus voltaire as a pinball table, it's that the boom balloon is not nearly as amazing as the announcer seems to think it is

very disappointed to hear you won't be attending your birthday party, we've festooned the room and everything

it must feel so good to be a clickable ui element in an early disc-based game. your ass sitting there at 65% brightness and then when the mouse hovers over you, up you go to the full 100%, increase in size and rotate slightly. just a totally different way of life man

parappa 2 starting difficulty: up the ramps we go all the way c'mon now we ain't got all day parappa 2 max difficulty: the ramps the ramps the ramps ramps ramps ramps ramps the ramps we ain't got the ramps

the world is a vampire

surely worth it to get access to awesome features like discovery queue (which, as a user, is usually a carousel of those AAA games getting sweetheart deals -- yes, valve, i actually have heard of the latest FIFA game)

store.steampowered.com/tags/en/Char... you simply cannot leave metadata up to the userbase

the game preservation crisis only applies to games people already know about (that have a second-hand market), the stuff people are working on right now are obviously non-games that should be actively suppressed

potpourri is a crazy concept

everyones always looking for stunning wallpapers these days, but i for one dont want to be stunned for 1.35s every time i minimize a window

been back in my own country for about 7 hours and already i want onigiri

really surprising for cho ren sha 68k to get an autofire option... to me that's a game that's all about rhythm, and the fairly slow tap tap tap to keep your shot going felt like part of that. but it's not a huge advantage like darius gaiden autofire, so in this case, it probably is just an option.

given how many bugs she kills, i'm starting to think that reco being known as the bug princess is something of a de facto position

i've finally updated this

suddenly have an urge to go to comiket despite having made no preparation

can't describe why but i think the funniest thing in the video "Can I Beat Halo Before The Rubber Bands Crush My TV?" is the word "the" in the title

I'm having my birthday today

Why can't I change my goddamned name da-don

it's a real meeting of the minds if you ask me

The egg baby cafe in Okachimachi is all I dreamed of and more.

Spent all my money on quick & crash. Please buy our game I think it's on sale

Saw your dad at the games shop asking if they have Tales of Arse

got a ketsui 1-ALL at game center wai wai. i guess a ketsui 1cc is my holiday tradition now?

i'm on holiday in tokyo to celebrate BRDA. please recommend me some STG game centers. i've seen taito hey and mikado. thanks! BRDAを祝うために東京で休暇を過ごしている。STGゲームセンターを推薦してください!Taito HEYとミカドは知っている。ありがとう!

rats are known for being neophobic :- a trait shared with many rodents, as well as Agent Smith

1.52 is now live! Highlights: Leaderboards 2.0, XP-Mode replays/leaderboards, Val/Dee-Cluster changes, some more fixes and small tweaks danboland.net/DA_FINAL_CHA... Leaderboards have been reset! Can you beat the current #1 Plasma Lancer player...?

really miss when americans thought british people were all like austin powers, before all the "chewsday innit" crap. it's better to live in a dream than in a nightmare.

a lot of people are namedropping me specifically when talking about the BRDA update / the game as a whole. but my design/code work would be totally worthless without the hard work of @woofycakes.bsky.social , exemia, hagane and everyone else. so please make sure to follow+support them!

Note: 1.52 is going to reset leaderboards. This should hopefully be the last time this happens -- likely early next week. In exchange, you get a leaderboard filter system!
