Talkin' about old games, mostly Sega. They let me talk on the HG101 Podcast sometimes by mistake. He/him/they/them, these are all fine.

Making a reminder note that I'm using Mastodon a bit more in the event shit gets worse here than it already is. Do I expect folks to migrate over? No, but as I've mentioned, backup plans. Probably also shouldn't be on mastodon dot social but hopefully it is temporary.

It is as though they heard my complaints regarding Mejiro Ryan’s design compared to her character and had to play catch up.

New Cinderella Gray chapter dropped in Young Jump, and something tells me people are going to be very normal about Mejiro Ryan's redesign.

If you are willing to throw away entire groups of people to protect your insular strategy that will only protect you instead of protecting everyone then I don’t want your leaders and I sure as hell don’t want to be associated with you.

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

Whoever they could license for the otherwise generic sports games (except Ozaki Naomichi no Super Masters, in which case they just replaced Ozaki Naomichi with Arnold Palmer).

Final Blow getting localized and published by Sega is wild when you consider it was a Taito game. Double licensing.

Game Informer wasn't any kinder, describing the game as "A Depressing Mid-Life Crisis" and scoring a 6.5, on a page where Karaoke Revolution, Ultra Bust-A-Move, and DDR Ultramix 2 all outscored it. 😞
Game Informer magazine issue #140 Page 183 showing a review of SEGA's Outrun 2 for Microsoft Xbox, with a score of 6.5 out of 10.

I’ve never forgiven EGM for their OutRun 2 review scores… 👀

Also, OutRun 3 is late… 🚘

My rent is paid, so October starts now for my finances.

Of course, disability pretty much runs out immediately once rent is paid, so I'm going into the month on the ropes.

Plus, it's my birthday month. (The 8th!)

So here's the fundraising.

If my sources looked like this for my senior thesis, they would've printed out my BA History diploma only to set it on fire in front of me. But apparently this is good enough to get a book published and sold for real money.

He was probably in Konnan's faction at the time.

See to me that's just La Parka doing his thing.

I watched a lot of WCW back in the 90s and let me tell you that Cody Rhodes burning Disco Inferno on Twitter is the only thing I remember about Disco Inferno's career.

Yeah, he's mostly a Snake Pliskin reference but with a bit of Ash Williams from Evil Dead peppered in.

Even if they're not into AEW, it's never been easier to watch literally any other pro wrestling promotion.

Hell, there was a good stretch of time where I was only watching NJPW and CMLL because ROH was dying and AEW didn't exist yet.

Probably just fans of WWE specifically and not pro wrestling in general. Which, I can't imagine being that kind of person.
