The Criminal

Doodle of an orange cat with a piece of crumpled plastic in his mouth. He is running away quickly, wide-eyed. There is text from someone shouting "WHO IS EATING PLASTIC!!!"

Shadow of the colossus is one of my favorite games of all time. Joe & I were just recently talking about Parappa & Gitaroo man. Gravity Rush 1 & 2 were fantastic. I just have to face reality, the Sony of today will never be what I loved back then. PS4 was great though, just fell off a cliff smh

My biggest takeaway now that we've browsed the Next Fest offerings is that there is a lot of AI slop, and maybe 75% of these are using AI art for their store banners even if they're not disclosing any other use. It really makes things run together and looks awful.

As a lifelong Sony & Nintendo gamer. PS5 gave me buyer's remorse Year 1. All the things I loved were mostly Sony japan studio's works along with insomniac & naughty dog in previous eras. Astor Bot is the only thing left but I will most likely never buy a PS6. As a PC user, I'm better of waiting.

Both PS6 and the next Xbox are planned for a 2027 release, according to separate reports.

Bad Game Hall of Fame @bghof.com · 1d

'Duke Nukem 3D' on the Sega Mega Drive released on this day in 1998.

Tec Toy's "conversion" of Duke 3D to the Mega Drive is nothing short of a technical marvel. Unfortunately; it is also frustratingly clunky, notoriously difficult, and challenging to even visually parse.

In a parallel universe, or thanks to a bit of miscommunication through a dodgy telephone line to Japan, Aerith was instead...

A snippet from PlayStation Power's late 1996 feature on FF7, where 'Ealis' is described.

OverClocked ReMix (We ♥ video game music!) 🎮🎵 @ocremix.org · 1d

25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop.

We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts.

Recent comment: "This A.I. music is as fake as 🏈 🦇."

In this case, this is human-made. (3 of our judges panel are also involved as collaborators on it: jnWake, pixelseph, and paradiddlesjosh.)

We explicitly do NOT accept any music made with generative A.I. There are tools out there that help identify genAI music. If music involving genAI is ever unknowingly let on, it will be removed if it's discovered.

Definitely considering volunteering next year. I know I have the skills to contribute so I'll definitely be back to RetrogameCon one way or another next year!

After Party kicked ass last night too! Arkadian was an awesome opener but the highlight was seeing Powerglove live! Listened to their work years ago on YouTube back in 2008. I couldn't believe my eyes & ears but they still got it! Metal & nostalgia combined

Also been a lifelong dream to meet one of my inspirations from early YouTube: Brentalfloss! His concert was great & attended his game show panel too. Dude is super humble. Still funny & just happy to let him know his love of games & music theatre combined makes his unique passion still shine!

Last few before taking off. No socials but really impressed by everyone this year. Definitely gotta try my hand next year. Already got some ideas of who to cosplay. Just need to execute it. Everyone looks so cool I regret not doing it every year. Fantastic stuff! #cosplay #RetrogameCon

Now for some Day 2 cosplay photos! Fantastic Gau by my lovely, awesome friend @zeldamomoe.bsky.social. Sadly no socials for the others but love seeing deltarunen, Expedition 33 & Final Fantasy share the love from fans all over. The passion is undeniable! #cosplay #RetrogameCon

Couldn't resist this wonderful pair of canvas prints of Bowser & Peach portraits from Mario 64 by RetroFools LLC. I'll never forget falling for that first trap door as a little kid into the bowser stage. Good times!

Was also happy to stop by Aetherix again for their wonderful art. Got some great FFXIV prints last year but we spent a good few minutes just gushing about E33 & Ben Starr. Check out their carrd for links! aetherixart.carrd.co
