Phantasy Star IV turned 30 years old in North America this month, so, for @pastemagazine.bsky.social, I wrote about why it didn't end up a hit like the classic contemporaries it was just as good as, and that plot twist it therefore doesn't get enough credit for. Unlike the megahit Final Fantasy VII.

This press solicitation email I just received for Toy Fair is off-putting. It starts off seeming like they are familiar with me, going as far as attributing a quote to me. I'd love to know when/where I said that. I suspect AI made up a quote and attributed it to me. If so, gross.

Made this video solely to defend a dev who had their game stolen, discovered a whole ass rabbit hole regarding a giant game publishing scam. WILD. youtu.be/slI30AhW00A

There was indeed a time when you had to make your own custom-made Mario shirt. Also, after his legendary exploits on NES, Mark would later go on to develop a famous voice/text chat application, named after him. (that's a joke)

Power got knocked out thanks to a wind storm last night and it may not be fixed for a day or two. Could use a couple comms so I can work on my comms at a cafe and make sure my devices are charged up~ 🙏🏻💕

It is well-known that most Bowsers in Super Mario Bros. are fake, being enemies like Goombas wearing Bowser disguises. However, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe suggests that the Fake Bowser's fireballs are also fake, secretly being Cheep Cheeps.

We're working on a video about controllers and because of this we pulled out everything from Retro-Bit. Until I know for certain that other material from them wasn't stolen we won't be talking about their products.

And as usual, not one mention of the fact they were bought out by private equity in 2010. This leaves Michael's and (gag) Hobby Lobby as the main remaining craft chains in the US.

Shutting down Monolith Productions might be one of the stupidest moves any higher up has ever made. That is like shutting down Valve or ID Software. They have an incredible legacy and catalog of games. Warner Bros. has no clue.

They’re not called Rare Earth Metals because they’re scarce, but because as a group of elements they took a long time to isolate. It’s an antiquated English use of rare meaning “widely distributed or isolated” that died in Victorian times.

Lone Star Steakhouse & Saloon (1989-2019): A chain of casual dining steakhouses with a western "roadhouse" aesthetic. At it's peak, there were 267 locations, including in Australia. Currently, one independently operating location exists in Guam.

Help her out if you can.

Stardroids... nothing but Staaaaaaardroids...! Saturday night, @nadiaoxford.bsky.social & I are back to Mega Bust some more heads in Mega Man World 5 DX -- in color! Come join the fun and chat with us while we play on twitch.tv/Nyteworks!

WORD UP, my husband @lbdnytetrayn.bsky.social wrote the script for the Mega Man Legends comic that’s coming soon! So you’d better read it or I’ll eat that dancing monkey.

For years, this was my 1UP.com blog's header image. We used to be a proper society.

The slogan that launched a console war.

Reminder to play the game I helped localize! And to give me more work!!

I am proud to announce I am buying Canada’s GameStop/EB Games locations. I plan to bring the chain back to its 1996 glory days by looping the Wild ARMs attract mode on a CRT placed in each display window. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Aq8E...

Coleco Power Cycles from the '80s, including Knight Rider, Popples, Transformers and The Real Ghostbusters. (I had the Knight Rider one as a kid. It was the last time I felt cool.)

I just realized that next year the Wii (and therefore Virtual Console) will be the same age the NES was when the Wii came out and I need to just crumble into dust.

Hey thanks a lot. That makes it all worthwhile

Balls. 🤙

It's Morphin' Time again! Sunday at 6pm EST on www.twitch.tv/nyteworks, @nadiaoxford.bsky.social and I are going Green with Evil as we try to knock out the back half of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind. Will we be able to turn Tommy to the side of good? Tune in and find out!

More like a frequent dialogue between @lbdnytetrayn.bsky.social and I: “I’m going to [describes a task].” “Do I have to do anything?” “No.” “Then knock yourself out.”

I have a 2nd bandcamp account,separate from the covers,where I put all my composition: bgo2.bandcamp.com You can follow it to be notified when I post sth new there as it doesn't all make it to the channel as I do a lot of commissions and compo work as well as run the channel.

I hope the next time @nintendousa.bsky.social releases an #AnimalCrossing game, they make it easier to tell if you have an item already. Just wasted 24K bells on a crane game I already had because the colors looked different in the store than on the Nook app. 😾

I really should get some work done. But Muffin has other plans for me. Muffin wins.

To me, these are just new Changeables. Which we've been in need of.
