after 29 YEARS, Shigeru Miyamoto has finally said something vaguely resembling the infamous "a bad game is bad forever" quote that's constantly misattributed to him.

"Games eventually stop running when newer versions come out, but films remain forever,"

Why is Sony portraying their competitors controllers as if they're unlockable characters in a fighting game?

interestingly, they actually backported this build to the PC version yesterday.
QuByte was even retroactively added as a developer on Steam.

i wonder if the other ScummVM games Night Dive picked up (Starship Titanic, Tony Tough.) will get the same treatment?

this random Vinyl release of a PC-98 game soundtrack finally shipped.

for context on why this took so long, it’s likely because a Bulgarian guy has been falsely claiming music from this game and various other obscure Japanese titles.
this release was approved by the ACTUAL composer.

the original order for Cyberblock Metal Orange EX made on July 14th 2024

fucked up that captialism has gotten to the point where THE ACTUAL GRIM REAPER has somehow managed to lose his job.

they did the same thing with Rosalina in Mario Kart.

though i'm pretty sure it also has a, 𝘶𝘩, not horny explanation like with Susie. (she's supposed to be a giant goddess that rules the cosmos)

funnily enough the worst one wasn't even a "traditional" documentary, it was a comedy about a kid getting a NES for Christmas.

i likely won't be using this site much until the ability to queue posts is added, but here's one thing that i figured i'd transfer off the other site right now.

it's a collection of my thoughts about various gaming shows & films that document history which were made over the years.

this is the best placeholder icon i have ever seen. #PS3share

a "MakeDummy" application that was once uploaded to the Playstation DevNet, the icon randomly depicts ASCII art of a cat using a frying pan.

(For the record, this likely isn't an issue with the proto build itself. But with how i'm loading it on my console. The USB port is quite a bit slower than the disk drive in terms of loading speed.)

IBM had a partnership with Crayola during that timeframe where they made licensed kids games, the booth is likely intended for that.

likely this, i'd imagine. steamdb.info/sub/83209/ap...

Valve created a "Internal First Pass Test" package for SteamVR with a ton of games, likely intended for the press to test out the feature.

i'd imagine anyone who worked on a title included in the package also got access.

i know there's a similar bug that applies to all Steam accounts (though it might have been fixed since then, this was back in April)

if you open the Steam console and enter "download_depot 440 228990 5087715316087945828"

it downloads a random Hentai VN. "My fake goblin wife"

for extra context, depot 228990 is the "DirectX Jun 2010 Redist" package. one of the many common Redistributable packages installed when you download a game that requires it.

the wildest part is that only the header is using stolen Nintendo assets.
the actual screenshots (which are only viewable on the Playstation app and on Console, it's a standard limitation.) show they're just flipping a UE5 asset template.
