A “collector’s retirement” sale of 55 sample and prototype Super Famicom ROMs sold on Yahoo for ¥2.3 million, or about $15,400 US. That averages out to around $281 per ROM. page.auctions.yahoo....

Going live on Twitch! It's PSO Saturday! While we wait for Episode 3 to come in the mail, let's briefly dip our toes into Ultimate difficulty and try our best not to get our shit pushed in! See you there! www.twitch.tv/mattobii

George Zimmerman and Kyle Rittenhouse are walking free! They're doing fucking speaking tours!

Me going to the fridge at 3 am but its empty.

so many people look at persona, make up what they think a dating sim is, and then announce their subversion of it; something the genre itself did in 1999 bsky.app/profile/vixi...

Dude replies to shit like this all the time, kvetching about DEI, black people, gays, etc, and when you push him in it, he plays dumb and does a version of the "I'm just a liberal asking questions" routine before going on to defend Grimes. I do not buy Udon books anymore.

i love the comments on the youtube of this. dozens of Japanese people in their 30s-50s, in total shock to see the new animation and the original cast. some are vaguely aware of Samurai Pizza Cats; others are like "is this a miracle?? why this, why now???"

this is the dumbest take because Street Fighter is entirely about diversity, since the damn beginning

WHY WOULD THEY CALL IT THAT

So true, NiGHTS.

If there's any Ponyoke regulars who were present last week when we kept getting harassed by bigots, and especially if you managed to snag any photos of them as they kept driving by, please reach out to [email protected] www.capitolhillseattle.com/2025/02/spd-...

BREAKING: The Associated Press sues three Trump administration officials over access to presidential events, citing the First Amendment.

100% and I need everyone to understand right now that there is only one solution: people need to start getting their asses kicked in public again

Keep destroying. Keep making good trouble. Make them waste enough money on this pointless bullshit and they'll acquiesce. Keep fighting.

This is your state on Republican meth.

Don't forget racist/homophobic comments made by HD Retrovision. Makes me think a lot of retro YouTubers are either unintentionally unaware of the scummy stuff, or they know, but can't do anything about it due to how much of a presence said company has in the retro game circle

Collecting always starts out as fun and affordable with friendly enthusiasts willing to help and playfully commiserate, before it gets oversaturated by grifters who bring in the Collector Types that everyone rightfully stereotypes as being dweebs. It will come for your hobby too, no matter how niche

lmao Hopefully Iron Galaxy can do well by it, sucks we couldn't have this with the same Vicarious staff but oh well

Now 100% convinced that the reason games take 5+ years now has literally nothing to do with anything in the actual material world but is purely that management is too incompetent bsky.app/profile/nesb...

The news about LRG selling defective cartridges that will blow up your NES, followed by the discovery that Retro-Bit is just stealing fan translations for some of their games, y'all I'm beginning to think maybe this retro game collector enthusiast aftermarket is one big grift.

i’m gonna be real if you see someone working on an .ai file and your first instinct is that they’re working on something AI generated you have no business talking about technology, art, and should probably consult a doctor before tying your shoelaces

I'm glad the City of the Wolves writers were willing to let martial arts research scientist Preecha be an awkward weirdo.

So we can point at *this guy specifically* for what happened to Ouka? And it's all but fated to happen to Nagoshi Studio too as their game is sent out to die.

oh so this gaming crash will be complete and global afterall. Cool. bsky.app/profile/ceci...

Students have to lead because the self-proclaimed leadership of U.S. science--NAS, AAAS, HHMI, universities--are cowering under their desks.

Remember when Pence got called out at a performance of Hamilton and Kavanaugh had to leave out the back of a Morton's Steakhouse because protesters were screaming at him outside because of Roe v Wade? Let's make life unpleasant and humiliating for these motherfuckers.

seeing that polling on congressional dems and thinking about the steadily growing impact of blue wave emoji types learning, hands on, that the "how dare you speak to me" attitude from elected dems is in fact not reserved exclusively for lefties, youth, and minorities

Im tied to a chair in some damp basement somewhere in the american midwest. The cop slides another Meta Neuroreader headset on me. I immediately fry it by visualizing Karl Franz's warhammer wiki page in a weaponized shotgun blast of autism, wasting $12,000. This is the third time I've done this.

I'm not usually a CRT filter person, but this is seriously impressive, and there's like a zillion different parameters you can tweak and adjust as seen here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWOc.... Lots of fun possible applications outside of just gaming.

Wow, finally a fighting game villain for our modern times.

by the way these are literally the exact same dumbass motherfuckers, not like them, the literal exact same fucking guys, saying government is inefficient and you should cancel it to give them all the governments money so they can provide you services instead

Even if I don't get in, I've still got my copy of Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii coming in tomorrow, so either way, Sega's got my ass.

ALERT: PocketStation development kit available on itch.io. The pocketstation's time has finally come!!!!!!!! orionsoft.itch.io/pocketstatio...

Holy shit, Blast Zero is actually doing all the animation for the Samurai Pizza Cats game on paper.
