I've been looking at the Metal Slug 1-3 A LOT over the years and noticed this at the end of MS3 stage 2.

1) Crop of the bg just before the boss comes in.
2) Crop with a sprite that was overlayed removed.
3) Just that sprite.
4) Generic smoke puff animation the sprite was taken from.

We've really gotta stop calling new adaptations "remakes".

Eg- There's a new Alice in Wonderland coming out by not Disney- it is not a "remake" of the cartoon, it's an adaptation of the source material. The new Running Man movie is not a "remake" of the film, it's a new adaptation of the book. etc

I'll admit, while I think this is a good thing, I have never, ever, had any good luck navigating Microsoft's Xbox docs lol It's like the documentation is for *everything* Microsoft related, and not just Xbox, and in order to ask questions, you (seemingly) need to pay for their support services.
Microsoft drops NDAs and publishes Xbox Game Publishing Guide public, NDA-free and accessible to everyone

makes planning and launching games on Xbox consoles and PC easier for Indie Developers.

Are Metroid Prime fans the new Rick and Morty fans...?

I posted a very mild opinion saying "this game isn't for me" and people are Rick and Morty'ing in the silliest ways lol

Final Fantasy 2 is a bit better than 1, I think- but it's very obtuse and empty ;-;

29 long years have passed since I founded the emulation archive, Zophar's Domain, on 11.9.96. To this very day, the site still stands as a testament to an era that never actually disappeared but continues to live in the hearts of retrogamers all over the word. Emulation Forever!

The worst part about making games and being very open about the process is that it's insufferable when people constantly bring up a game that you have said ad nauseum is on hold for a bit because of other things

Nobody is entitled to my time and energy folks, especially when it's my sacrifice lol

Francis Ford Coppola has never been the kind of broke where he's had a doctor tell him that if he keeps eating dollar store ramen cups for every meal every single day for months on end his heart will actively explode and it shows.
