The fact we only have the Sonic OVA soundtrack because some guy thought "maybe I can look through the credits & just ask each person who worked on it politely" is really funny to me.

Here's a little vid of the screensaver in action, plus a blast of Priss and the Replicants goodness <3

These were also available on VHS then, and watching them in a tiny window isn't the best way to experience them. But it would have still felt pretty damn cool to do so on your Win 3.1 PC or Mac.

A quick thread digging into Software Sculptors' Bubblegum Crisis: The Screensaver from 1994.

At 34.99, the screensaver is a bit flimsy, being simply a gallery of short gif-like clips (vid clip below), but floofing it out, in value are the music vids from Hurricane Live 2032/3.

A snap of the 'video screen saver' menu box window open in Windows 98 where you can arrange the vid clips or make your own using them or other bmps.

The PC-9801 can produce mind-boggling effects.

I want floppy games with floppy graphics made by floppy people who are paid more to flop floppily and I'm not kidding.

PSA: Twitch partner support is just chat GPT now

Also do NOT use the /warn command EVER

As a moderator you can't remove a warning given on your chat through any means so if the user is on mobile and can't click the popup they are functionally shadowbanned.

This is absolutely fucking ridiculous

Surface level "video essay" on why the 1928 copyright date in Friday the 13th on NES is actually an indictment of capitalism and turns the entire horror genre on it's head, solemnly overanalyzing before the narratory cheerfully calls out "HEY GUYS! If you liked this video SMASH- THAT- LIKE- BELL"

Sometimes, you see a piece of art that speaks directly to your soul.

"the hell are you talking about" i don't know either, man, just look at this shit

... also, this game stores most of its text in the graphics ROMs.

This week in 1988: 1,000+ ACT UP demonstrators shut down the FDA headquarters, demanding (and eventually winning) action on developing HIV/AIDS treatments. ACT UP's militant and creative actions always included powerful visual artwork, and paved the way for movements in the decades to come.

A photograph from the 1988 ACT UP demonstration outside the FDA. Many people are participating in a die-in on the front steps, holding mock tombstones with messages like "RIP - killed by the FDA" and "Dead from lack of drugs." A line of police officers (some with classic 80s mustaches) wearing riot helmets stands between them and the building; one cop wearing white gloves is walking through the demonstrators. Affixed to the 2nd story windows of the building is a series of posters and a large blank banner reading Silence = Death.
