@retroblast.bsky.social Watched The Simpsons on my flight and it warms my heart that Lenny is playing some Nintendo 64.

That's amazing! I love when they do little callbacks like that.

The classic Konami code for Contra.

Not because it made me invincible or anything like that,

But because of how many lives I had, it actually made me better at the game.

What's the one moment in a Retro Game that made you feel ABSOLUTELY UNSTOPPABLE?

Just a pure, unforgettable power moment.

Felt cathartic after everything Majora put you through for the whole game.

Oh, good ol' @drdoak.bsky.social making sure we're always on our toes! 😆

Oh MY GOD THIS! My neighborhood friend and I got that level down to a science to do it because we wanted invincibility so bad. I remember doing the head down with diagonal walking to go slightly faster!

This room made me panic so bad omg

Retro Blast 🎃 @retroblast.bsky.social · 1d

Silent Hill games were so effectively creepy because many scares happened in an unexpected way.

SH3's storeroom, for example. No music swells, no monsters jumping out — It just goes dead silent as bizarre events keep unfolding while you're trying to wrap your brain around it all.

Pure masterclass.

I agree.

AI as a TOOL to assist you is okay with me. Need to ask it how to punctuate your sentence better? Or do a quick calculation? Whatever, cool.

Using it as a tool seems reasonable, but creating whole images or movies with it entirely without even a base you created yourself? Pass.

You have to love how X enters into this series as a Punisher-like psychopath instead of a peace-loving but conflicted Hunter forced to fight Mavericks out of necessity.

Roll: who is that bot?!

Mega Man: idk but he's on our side!

X: *blows up the city instantly*

That's some serious SH3 dedication, but I understand it very well, haha. I think 4 might be slightly scarier than 3, but it's pretty close.

I wasn't personally bothered by those instances, but I get that. I think the overall package of Silent Hill 3 as a horror game is just phenomenal and incredibly creepy.

Those ghosts still haunt my nightmares, they were relentless and sent chills up my spine.
