I thought it was time to make a Twitch trailer, a selection of the kind of crap that I take on stream, random singing / laughter / bad jokes / banging the keyboard / dying inside.
Plus the song everyone loves.
All this and very much less on www.twitch.tv/thegenesiste...
This is me following up on a years old pitch on one of my favorites Sega Technical Institute games. Finally, The Ooze.
The Ooze, an eccentric late era Genesis title from Sega Technical Institute where you control a large pile of goop. (by @damiano.bsky.social) www.hardcoregaming101.net/ooze-the/

Yesterday I was playing this nice 2002 AGI adventure game for children until it turned... very weird. Using scissors on people started making our main character, an 8-year-old girl, reflect on how to kill her friends and get away with it.
You know... as girls at that age do.

Liking this Italian Microsoft 1995 anti-piracy ad, which basically threatens all kinds of evil and illness if you are using a pirated version of Windows: viruses, "nuclear contamination", data loss, prison, nervous breakdown, etc

Okay if i don't get more Russian distractions, tonight I might actually start on Shannara? But first, more DOS randos.

To "celebrate" 20 years of Like a Dragon, SEGA is... making a whole mess.

So:
-Yakuza 0 DC (new co-op/cutscenes) is 15$ if you own it.
-Yakuza Kiwami is 2$. (new languages and 1 new song).
-Yakuza Kiwami 2 (same as above) is free if you own it already.

Save progress doesn't transfer.

Biorobot's Base is a sort of Russian DOS clone of Another World.
Is it good? No. But for 1995, having been made by one person, it is not *that* bad. I liked the first few levels, but then the game devolves into "try to shoot first or die", which never really becomes fun or interesting.

Immaculate vibes with the Prodigy playing the Atari Jaguar (probably Tempest 2000)

Which "forgotten classic" DOS game is next in my slow descent into mad- eh I mean in Dosember? Well you get to decide, but only on my Discord server. Guaranteed bad Italian memes aplenty.

Dynamic Soccer was a 1970 tabletop game released by Nintendo, which used an air pump and an intricate set of plastic tubes to propel the ball from one player to the next. Basically, a more technologically advanced version of Subbuteo.

There's this thing on Letterboxd of actors or directors reviewing the movie they shot/were in, becoming the most popular reviews that is really irritating.
Especially since they're never reviews but just HEY I'M IN THIS THING.

Sure, you could say the vaggie doors in Prime 4 are significant, but personally, I vibe much more with the non-gender-specific Harvester sphincter doors.

Another day, another assortment of DOS stuff that BEGS to be played (or maybe put out of its misery).
Live in 10 minutes, let's check what this big package is.
