Payday hit & my present from me to me this year ordered! Thank you again @eurothug4000.bsky.social for telling me about this release. As someone who has spent far too long on #EnemyZero 's OG PC port, this is a delight. Hopefully SEGA will release the game digitally in 2026 for the 30th anniversary!

The DVD (1996) is now as old as the original 8-inch floppy disk (1967) was when the DVD came out.

I do love that neither FF & FG, after seeing the Green Party run on left policies to get record votes then the following election got completely wiped out by pivoting right to support them, took any sort of message from that. Or why SF started kicking their ass in polls. Just *zero* introspection.

“If this was, as Harris framed it, a referendum on Ireland’s proud history of better-things-aren’t-possible centrism, then surely he must accept that his conceptualisation of Ireland is actually… wrong.”

This week’s column is about how FG and FF have responded to the election results.

Surrealing in the Years: Sorry Simon, maybe Ireland doesn't want to be a 'centrist' country

Hey, I didn’t make the rules.

Trick question, this is a screencap from the hit horror tv series Goosebumps, specifically the "Haunted Mask" episode

🌸NEW VID🌸

Silent Hill f almost drove me insane with how much there is to talk about. EVERY detail led to a rabbit hole of research, but what I kept coming back to is how it's a game about the curses in our blood... curses both supernatural AND societal.

Halloween is the busiest time of year for emergency services because every time I see someone in costume I get scared and call the police

New video is up - viewer discretion is advised. This game deals with very heavy topics and I talk in depth about them. This is a horror game worth looking at though: youtu.be/HuD-ypEKP4o?...

the problem with modern videogame rpgs is they don't have quests like the one in phantasy star, where you need to bribe a governor with cake, but the only cake shop in the entire solar system is on a different planet, at the bottom of a four-floor dungeon, behind a locked door.

First word is like B0B, P0P, N0N, S0S and then the first letter of each of the next words is the same as the first letter. Second last letter of the second word is T. Second letter of last word is 0 and last letter is T...

But as far as adaptations go? It was fun and felt it overall captured the vibe. Still love Marsters but I enjoyed this.

Vincent Smyth @vjsmyth.bsky.social · 2d

My only complaints with it are sometimes the music feels a little generic Public Domain-y choices (like the potion mixing scene felt like a Looney Tunes cartoon doing an industrial factory manufacturing montage) and sometimes the SFX cues felt a little off (like a punch playing a few seconds early)

I only found out after uploading that Heilwald Loophole is 50% off on Steam right now, an absolute steal! Definitely check it out if you liked the video 💉

Thank you for watching! 💪😌

NEW VIDEO!
Something curious has happened at the Heilwald Clinic: a strange time loophole has been discovered, and now no one is able to die.

The Heilwald Loophole is an eccentric, offbeat and criminally underrated indie horror, and today I'd like to tell you all about it 💉
