Everything listed today is Japanese music or music related games. Some of my favorite artists. Cocco, Love Psychedelico, Amuro Namie, Puffy, Asian Kung-Fu Generation. And I am bias, but I think the prices are not bad.

Looks like another stompy mech game, plays like a sci-fi survival adventure. Beltlogger 9 is a real treat:

Beltlogger 9: Storytelling, strafing, and sci-fi

A quick glance gives the impression Beltlogger 9, AKA BRAHMA Force: The Assault on Beltlogger 9 (US) and BRAHMA Force (EU), is yet another slightly clunky ’90s first-person sci-fi shooter wit…

I can easily see more kits being left alone than built :/

Kimimi🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️, but spooky 🦇 @kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com · 15h

That’s a good way of describing it!

Kimimi🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️, but spooky 🦇 @kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com · 16h

Oh absolutely! I'm impressed they dared to make it, even if it doesn't work.

Got a new article for everyone! ZXE-D is an unbelievably ambitious PlayStation fighting game that expects players to ~build their own combatants~

Does it work? Let's find out!

ZXE-D Legend of Plasmatlite: A great idea… from a distance

1996 PlayStation game ZXE-D (pronounced “Zeckseed”) was surely made for me. A one-on-one fighting game filled with robots? That’s already more than enough to make my ears prick up…

Brilliant! I do like being useful :D

Kimimi🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️, but spooky 🦇 @kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com · 16h

Me too! It's always worth hearing someone else's thoughts, even (sometimes especially) when they don't align with your own!

Kimimi🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️, but spooky 🦇 @kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com · 17h

That's exactly what I'm hoping for!
(On a slight tangent: I do feel gaming discussion in general can get too caught up in "being right" in some way - ex: FAQs/skills/technical info/lore-based facts - and could do with a bit more "This is how it made me feel"

The same pressures that have you desperately trying to make a success out of your game are the same pressures that have driven games media into the ground. It's all victim to the same economic crisis. There's no conspiracy, no lack of interest. Everyone is just broke af

Look. I totally get the despair and frustration. But every couple of weeks someone else is asking "where's press coverage for indie games?" and like, have you been under a rock? It's been torn to pieces my dudes! The devastation of games media has been widely talked about!

And thank you for reading them :)

Kimimi🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️, but spooky 🦇 @kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com · 19h

Exactly! Sorry for not spewing out scrapeable ~content~ that can be easily repurposed, I suppose!

Kimimi🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️, but spooky 🦇 @kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com · 20h

I haven't played that in forever! ... I can't remember much now, tbh :S

Kimimi🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️, but spooky 🦇 @kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com · 20h

I'll live :)

Kimimi🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️, but spooky 🦇 @kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com · 20h

Same here!

Kimimi🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️, but spooky 🦇 @kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com · 20h

Not every piece has to be a review. Not every article has to treat you like you're a prospective ~consumer~ of ~content~. Gaming - and our experiences of them - can be more than that.

Kimimi🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️, but spooky 🦇 @kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com · 20h

Imagine if a gaming article could express empathy with previous owners. Explain the physical difficulties involved in using a niche item. Pass on fresh personal experiences. Do more than simply tell you how many levels a game has. Offer something other than wiki-style information.

A cropped reply that says "Wow what a waste of time reading this. I know exactly as much about the game now as I did before reading it lmao."
