I liked Z-A. I thought the ending was weak and the story got in the way of the gameplay, but the gameplay was some of the most fun I've had with Pokemon. I'm interested in going back to Arceus (I know basically nothing about it).

My favorite part of Donkey Kong Bananza has to be the sub plot that every elder quit their day job to become a DJ.

Classic software development.

I'm really enjoying Donkey Kong Bananza, but I can't STAND the word Teeleport and its voice line.

Tonight's game is Freedom Fighters for the GameCube. My brother had it on the PS2 growing up and we quite liked it back then.

So far it's playing great with @darthcloud.blueretro.com's beta BlueRetro firmware that supports the NSO GameCube controller. Feels a lot better than the Exlene controller.

I was able to go to the @sega-west.bsky.social popup in LA's Little Tokyo today and picked up a pretty cool Dreamcast towel. Unfortunately, they were out of Dreamcast t-shirts.

Just release Igir v4.0.0 on GitHub: github.com/emmercm/igir...

The main highlights are a visual overhaul (see gif), and TorrentZip & RVZSTD support.

I'm very proud of the work that's gone into this release; it's a big one, and I'm grateful to those who have contributed to the project in some way.
