There should be a Street Fighter stage set in Newtown, Sydney, Australia, with the the connection being that Sagat's Aussie cousin owns a Thai restaurant on King Street. That would be iconic.

Can't wait mate, I'm sure it will be a killer even if it isn't blessed by the algorithm gods

I thoroughly enjoyed this, seemed like a fun mix of Hitman Absolution and Blood Stone to me. The music especially stood out to me - absolutely fantastic!

This is great stuff, mate! I think your take on Silo is my favourite so far 👍

Prediction time - I think this is going to be quite good and surprise a lot of people. The trailer is charming as hell!

I love that the 8bitdo arcade stick fits right in with all those carts. I have one myself and I love it

I'm thinking that it may just not be appropriate for smaller channels like mine to use it. It's disappointing, as the drop-off since I started using them this year has been massive. I try not to get hung up on 'views', but it was nice to see my videos getting served to a wider audience last year.

Blast Processing @blastprocshow.bsky.social · Aug 14

I'm curious whether other #YouTube creators think of the built-in thumbnail A/B testing tool. I've used it for all my videos this year - not only does it end 'without a conclusive result', but overall video visibility over time seems to take a massive hit resulting in much lower view counts

I'm testing a few thumbnails this time, trying to break my usual mould. I feel like I unintentionally channeled Dankpods with this one 🙃

Sonic Blast on Game Gear wanted to be handheld Sonic & Knuckles with pre-rendered graphics, but it was not to be.

Awkward level design and physics, mixed with an art style that was rough to say the least!

The footage from the New Virtua Fighter Project at #Evo2025 was absolutely ridiculous. The closer you look, the more you notice. The facial expressions in particular stand out to me - seeing characters grimace in pain or look surprised really helps sell the combat.

Catching up on the MvC2 matches from today. First match on the stream has a Spider-Man team, you know this year is going to be good #Evo2025

Tough one! For multiplayer, always hard to go past UT99 for me, great maps and fantastic music. Single player? I'm all in for No One Lives Forever 2, it's criminal that it is locked behind a wall of lawyers and corporate types!

Up early on a Saturday just in time to see Ryan Hart pull out a tight match in SF6 at #Evo2025 - that's what I like to see! Love seeing old school players doing well on the big stage.

Finding out about The Games Factory was a highlight of my early teens

Sucks to hear about the Xbox layoffs today. Particularly devastated to hear about the Perfect Dark cancellation - I loved the original and thought the vertical slice for the reboot looked great! So much good work from devs over years just up in smoke...

I genuinely can't believe how quickly after watching the Bananza footage I have gone from "I think I can wait on a Switch 2 for a bit" to "How can I explain to people that I need to drop the best part of $1000 to play a Donkey Kong game"

I thought I was more disciplined than this

I appreciated this one because the angle is less about the prices being high, but more using that for context about why prices shot up during COVID and may be coming back to earth now, as well as how inflated prices may be impacting long-term preservation efforts

Interesting to see this story pop up on the ABC, nice to see this information from an Aussie perspective: www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

'Nostalgia-fuelled binge': How the $US2 million retro video game bubble burst

Not so long ago, old video games and consoles were the kind of thing you found in hard rubbish — or maybe at a garage sale. Now, they're collectibles. Sometimes extremely valuable ones.

@slopesgameroom.bsky.social Glad to hear that this one is all sorted. Definitely some good advice in here for everyone to learn from, though I wish it hadn't come at the near expense of your sanity over the past week!
