This has been my pinned tweet for years but it's as true here as it was there: the highlight of my #gamedev career to date was this spectacular bug from #StarWarsBattlefront Elite Squadron on the #PSP.

Horses doesn't sound like something I would ever play but that doesn't matter. That's not the point.
seeing people being like "ehhh Idkkkkk horses DOES sound kinda icky, I get why it was banned" like barely 2 months after a bunch of people kicked up the wildest possible hostile campagn against _itch_ makes me feel like I'm losing my mind lol

Right, I've finally managed to get it to stop looking like Bungle's taken a dump in it. Keys seem nice - mercifully not clicky but still quite noisy. Not convinced about the keycaps but I guess those can be changed if I feel like it.

You don't have to like the Epic Store but monopolies are bad, mmkay?

Was looking for another file and found this thing I'd forgotten I'd made.
It was a mistake to ever allow me near video editing software.

In the original arcade version of Final Fight, there's a third button whose function is to escape grabs. It's not wired by default in arcade machines, but was left in the game code and can be accessed via emulation. Here, I tested it via MiSTerFPGA. It was probably used by the devs during QA.

So this one time in Germany my dad insisted on buying this fish paste in a tube. Like, a metal toothpaste tube. It looked utterly unappetising to the rest of us but he was unrepentant. He always had a thing for stinky fish-based stuff and this was no different. 1/

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".
PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.
