I was born ~2 months premature at around 1lb 3ozs and had to spend the first few months of my life in the hospital
After being allowed to come home with my parents I had to wear a heart monitor vest which I would tear off multiple times a day, terrifying my parents
This is why I like Quest 64

This was my white whale for a long time, but the sourced audio sample during Xenogears' "Blazing Knights" boss fight track was taken from Christian Brando's manslaughter trial in 1990!

Choosing your fighting game input device is a major step forward in your fighting game journey.
Choosing to play on a steering wheel, guitar, or the Hurtbox is a major step as well, but I'm not sure in which direction you're going. (art by @koh.money)

In the original pokemon red and green on the gameboy, all normal attacks have a chance to inflict flinch
this means that shorts kid with his rattata can wipe you spamming quick attack
the western releases of gen 1 that we got were based on the balance patch blue version from japan and removed this

i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

Raijin in FF8 considers himself an honourable ladies' man, & so every time you fight him if there's only women alive in the party, he won't attack & will just stand & take a beating. UNLESS he's been blinded by a spell... & then, because he can't see who he's hitting, he'll attack the girls.

First impressions on the analogue 3D are mostly really positive. It looks really good on modern displays.
I like that you can customize display settings on a game by game basis.
The only big downside so far is that flash carts like the everdrive don't work on it.

Testing out my new toy with some eltale monsters
Gotta see if I prefer this to just playing on regular console.
I don't own a crt so let's see if this is better than an upscaler

Remember when I streamed all those food and drink brand games for a few months in 2024?
MAGFest is officially allowing me to come talk about them! Yippee!

I put together this video over the course of the last couple of months with the supposition that it might be interesting for people to get a newer player's perspective on the character after ~450 hours. I learned a lot.
Please take a look if you'd like!

Finished a 10 episode short story for beginners in Satori Reader today.
It took me a little over a week and multiple re-reads of some chapters to get through it.
I'm already feeling like my reading comprehension has gotten a little bit better.
~two weeks into this service I'm still loving it
