happy pride month, friends!! 🏳️‍🌈❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🏳️‍🌈

Seed of Might releases include at least two kinds of subtitle tracks: Subtitles and Dubtitles. But what are "Dubtitles" and why do we include both? There is often a significant difference between these two tracks. 🧵

Listen, if you're famous and you're going to make any statement about Israel's genocide, unless it is a fully unconditional condemnation of Israel's genocide, apartheid, and war crimes, just shut up. You don't want to be known as the "genocide and apartheid are bad, but..."-person.

Did you know you can limit searches on YouTube to only before a certain year? bring me to life before:2008 Copy and paste that to see all surviving AMV’s with that song that were uploaded in 2005, 2006, and 2007. Literal time capsules! This is what YouTube used to be!

Major advancement in i-mode game emulation! In just one month, GuyPerfect created a Yamaha MA-2/3 audio implementation system, allowing us to listen to #Gradius NEO/NEO Imperial's soundtrack as it sounded on original hardware. Both games now have near-perfect sound emulation... (1/2)

I ruined my sleep schedule it's 5:30 AM and I can't sleep so now I will talk about more Ys. I don't remember how but I decided to look into the Sharp X68000 version of Ys 1 that was developed by Dempa.

Here it is! I had a lot of fun bringing this brilliant post to life!

I don’t know man, what could it possibly be?

After years of hard work, our retro-inspired shooter Earthion finally has its own home online. Dive into the world, watch the new trailer, and hear a track made entirely with the Megadrive’s YM2612 sound chip. Now viewable in English and Portuguese: earthiongame.com

I hate seeing folks i agree with using gAI to make propaganda-style posters for things I support. Y’all. You cannot use the enemy’s tools to fight them. ESPECIALLY if you are arguing against capitalist overreach or for environmental issues. Come ON.

You only have one week left to go to fill out our Nintendo Switch Retrospective poll! Ahead of the Switch 2 launch, we want to hear from you about everything you loved (or didn't love) about the original Nintendo Switch. Fill out the survey now so you don't forget! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Per @amy.fruitbasket.gay, if you didn't already assume it: the Sonic 4 source code has unused Sonic Rush functions that are commented out and non-functional. Sonic 4 really is just Sonic Rush with the boost turned off.

Before anyone loses their shit, this is just the OLD VERIFICATION system on Twitter. This ain't going to be a thing where assholes can buy a blue check mark.

Update: Andy's surgery went well, but sadly, he has to stay at the vet's for another day. Apparently, he has kidney damage according to the blood test results. Please wish him the best, and please share the GoFundMe so we can afford the bill for Andy's surgery and blood test.

Today's big discovery is a Sonic 4 Episode 2 prototype leak where the only difference is the full "To be continued" cutscene to set up Ep 3. We've had audio for this since 2012, but no visuals. Shoutouts to LunarCryptik and NukelEdge for uploading this footage.

people really like this sprite of Ys 5 PS2 Dogi so here it is (ive already figured out the game's graphics formats so ill rip these later)

Update: I wanted to remind people about my special deal on commissions. The value of any donation X2 will be treated as payment for commission(s). DM me with proof of donation, and we can talk from there. 🧵(1/3) Update on Andy below

This isn't something that I usually post, but this is really important to me. My cat Andy has a bladder infection and is bleeding. We don't know how long he'll be here if he doesn't get the surgery. I'm also doing a special deal on commissions. More info in replies www.gofundme.com/f/gmhju3-sav...

Before ChatGPT: "Trust, but verify." After ChatGPT: "Verify."

The narrative shifted because new things happened: - Nintendo moves large part of production of Switch 2 from China to Vietnam to avoid most tariffs - Existing tariffs still make Switch 2 expensive - Trump puts 46% tariff on Vietnam 2 days ago - Switch 2 preorders delayed, price hike likely

DELTARUNE Chapters 1-4 will be released on June 5th as a launch title for Nintendo Switch 2! It's also coming to Steam, Switch, PS4, and PS5 the same day! www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDzg...
