It took 5 years, but I finished the 2nd run of Ring FIt...and there's a third!!at least I have reasons to keep playing !

Ghaleon Unlimited (Chris Hatala) @ghaleonunlimited.bsky.social · 18h

Yeah,those are ideas! I have a hard time commenting on it without then mentioning some kind of significance of it. I can't see any obvious reason why both espers and Rika would share a symbol like that, myself. I wish a solution would present itself. Maybe in another dev interview !

Ghaleon Unlimited (Chris Hatala) @ghaleonunlimited.bsky.social · 3d

If I come across where exactly I found it I'll let you know and point you to the passage .

Oh good !! Yeah I ve been feeling better & was inspired to work changes I've had for a long time, and I revisited the whole script .

I def never noticed that emblem before! I think I read about it in a dev interview either in Phanta! or the PS Compendium . They didn't elaborate beyond that :(

Ghaleon Unlimited (Chris Hatala) @ghaleonunlimited.bsky.social · 6d

Ah you probably can't tell, but I got a Win7 PC with old GPU working on my Blast City in 640x480 !

Weirdly you have to put windows in 59 hz mode instead of 60 or the picture is scrambled. Why would that be ??

Ghaleon Unlimited (Chris Hatala) @ghaleonunlimited.bsky.social · 6d

I lost my first when I realized my CDZ wasn't keeping saves !

I just started again, have been playing games very infrequently . I decided to re edit my PSIV project which I hadn't done in years, finished that, and after I get through this string of events I'll keep playing Sam sho! Galford

25 years after its release, I def did not ever expect to see a Crazy Taxi shirt at a pumpkin patch an hour outside Cleveland

Thanks ! Yeah, instead of a specific topic maybe we can do like a round table ?

John is on UK time -- do you ever happen to be free around 11 am or noon ET on a weekday ?

If not (understandly ) I can think about what could work . I like the HG101 concept of talking about a game or two in one go

Ghaleon Unlimited (Chris Hatala) @ghaleonunlimited.bsky.social · 12d

Glad you agree! Keep his features coming too !

Chris is 100% right here - John's books will never, *ever* be repeated. He's also one of the best writers working in the world of games right now - so give this a listen!

Ghaleon Unlimited (Chris Hatala) @ghaleonunlimited.bsky.social · 18d

I had a fantastic talk w/ John Szczepaniak, badass author of "The Untold Story of Japanese Game Developer" books: a one-of-a-kind endeavor that'll never be repeated.

Please share his story!

I got mine from CD Japan , super fast shipping and it was the lowest price I could find for the Japanese switch version . Yeah see if they still have any , I bet they do . The history book is pretty nice, will be a while before I could read the whole thing LOL

Ghaleon Unlimited (Chris Hatala) @ghaleonunlimited.bsky.social · Aug 14

@hg101.bsky.social Did you get the Gradius deluxe thing, either US or JP?

The poster is smaller than I hoped , but it's cloth which is pretty sweet and versatile .

Also recommended ! Fun and nice showcase of NES powers.

Protip: Don't freak out if you try it in your NES and it doesn't work lol , just reset a few times and it works properly .

One of the days I've yearned for has arrived ...

I have a Rock n Roll event that I can put my arcade Moonwalker and Revolution X in the quote !!

@hg101.bsky.social Hey do you know anything about the Monster World IV fan transaction VS the official one from the Wii VC?

I just got a cart and have to figure out which translation to transfer onto it

Ghaleon Unlimited (Chris Hatala) @ghaleonunlimited.bsky.social · Jul 19

I know you do, haha, I mean literally do you know anyone who could make use of a $30 computer copy of Ys II with all the shit!

Ghaleon Unlimited (Chris Hatala) @ghaleonunlimited.bsky.social · Jul 18

@hg101.bsky.social also, what would you suggest for really relaxing videogame experiences?

I have a biz conference asking for a relaxation area, and I have some VR experiences obv but I'm not sure about non-typical-videogame relaxing experiences. Like stuff you can pick up and admire scenery/music

I always assumed / hazily remembered that System 16 games were basically the Genesis port with better color or longer stages or something.

Werewolf Hadoukens?!? Blood-curdling-scream samples??

S16 is a treasure trove of SEGA greatness!

Ghaleon Unlimited (Chris Hatala) @ghaleonunlimited.bsky.social · Jul 13

So glad you could play this and talk about it!

So many old games, I just imagine all the work that went into planning and creating them, and just like no one will ever really know the story or maybe even know/care about the game anymore.
