In Breath of Fire II, talking to an NPC that's out-of-bounds or inaccessible using a cheat device (such as going to Bow in TownShip as Ryu solo instead of talking to an NPC in Capitan that auto-warps you back to Bow anyway) will produce this dialogue, which calls out the date of the game build.

3 thoughts:
1. I regret never getting very far in Goemon's Great Adventure.
2. It pains me that they removed the intro and Impact vocal themes from the English release.
3. It pains me even more how 1999 was the last time we got a new Goemon game in the West.

This is a fantastic interview on YouTube with Implicit Conversions' CEO that goes over some of the challenges of bringing classic games to modern platforms.
But now I am HUGELY curious about what games/companies were being referenced in some of the anecdotes.

Thanks to our GamePro art CD archiving (https://archive.gamehistory.org/folder/a5823d80-320b-41c9-9e3c-4dc28f79f2a2), VGHF is preserving hi-res versions of, uh, Bruce Willis being a shoot-y CG guy in Neversoft & Activision's Apocalypse.

I'm glad I saw Guillermo del Toro's "Frankenstein" in theaters. Found it very touching, with Jacob Elordi's performance being the best part of the whole thing.
I'm surprised I never actually read the entirety of the book, only excerpts in college. I'll need to rectify that.

Anybody happen to know, after Nintendo updated the SNES app on Switch 2, what the "pixel perfect" and "4:3" display options are measured at resolution-wise in 4K?
I'd check myself but I don't have a 4K display capture device, only 1080p. And the screenshot button is only taking 1080p shots, not 4K.

Finished my first playthrough of Silent Hill f. I've been told that one should do New Game + at least twice to really get a sense of the story, so I'll do my best. A little worried about story-related missables my second time around, though.

Started watching Severance. Only 2 episodes in, but it's been very disturbing and anxiety-inducing.

Was expecting worse tariffs and duties I had to pay for the 8BitMod Dreamcast VMU Pro, but it wasn't TOO bad. It's still dumb though.
