with how much folks I follow in games media always harp on games succeeding and failing in terms of providing accessibility options, it's quite disheartening to see basically all of them not even care enough privately to put alt text into their posts online. like, there's no excuse really.

And please also, AGAIN, never forget that they are inherently unethical to use because no one gave permission for their research or writing to be used in it. It is all stolen, and if you're using the plagiarism machine, please keep that in mind.
My friends, I say this with all the love in my heart: Right now might not be the moment for “But we should be TOLERANT and NUANCED about the plagiarism machines!”
Your tolerance and “nuance” will be weaponised by the grifters and their apologists. Please respect yourselves more.

1) Yay Terranigma!
2) Games did not have "release dates" back then. Distribution and availability varied by country and cannot be pinned down to a single date. I distinctly remember finding the box in my parent's closet weeks ahead of Xmas. "December 1996" is as far as you can narrow it down. 1/2

Happy Anniversary to Terranigma! 🎂🥳🎉
Today marks its release in Europe and Australia for the SNES. It was never released in North America after Enix of America closed, reportedly because Soul Blazer and Illusion of Gaia didn’t perform well enough financially.

Larian CEO Swen Vincke says everyone at the Baldur’s Gate 3 studio is “more or less OK” with the way AI is being used on its new game. We’re not so sure about that.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

This is an important video on a lot of levels, but specifically it’s fascinating how the level of global complicity and support required to prop up apartheid has increased in the digital age. And how distributed and diffuse the infrastructure is. youtu.be/Ybj10537yi4?...

So, “Order of the Sinking Star” by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I haven’t been very involved but it’s a great concept and looks cool.

it's so funny that we're now talking about a Thief game having a "Dishonored vibe".
