Also, there was supposed to be both HuCard and CD versions of Pit Fighter. But so far I haven't seen any footage or pictures that give any indication of how far along those got.

Footage of several other PC Engine games by Tengen that were canceled can be found on the account of the director Jun Amanai. Marble Madness, Off the Wall, Peter Pack Rat & Popils. They were for sale, I'm not sure what happened with that.

The gulf between “normal” and “hard” on VF5REVO’s World Stage mode is absurd. Normal is brain-numbing easy, hard features optimal wall combo-using Laus from stage one and 3rd dan Akiras good enough to be executing frame-precise knee combos

I love having an attentive partner. “Hey, is something wrong? You haven’t talked about Vanessa at all this morning”
(I’m just in an RSD funk, it’ll pass like it has before, but worrying all day if everyone hates me is never a great experience)

One of the best Saturday Night Live sketches is “Toonces: the Cat who could drive a car” where a cat puppet drives a car off a cliff and that’s the beginning and end of the joke but they went with it for five years and it worked because really that’s all you need to do

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

This article’s causing a stir among Japanese retrogamers. It’s critical of the Metal Slime grind of classic DQ, but the real point of contention is that the author admits to using mods to make the grind easier, which a lot of folks view very negatively. Quite a contrast to the Western view of mods

Wikis: Taito invented Body Sonic when they made Darius in 1986
AI: The term Body Sonic refers to a haptic feedback system developed by the Japanese video game company Taito
Reality: Body Sonic was released by Pioneer in 1980 & Namco had deluxe Pole Position 2's using it in 1982

I needed to reach out to an old buddy a couple days ago. I had no idea if he was on social media or Discord, so the *only* way I could still reach him was through a PSN friend contact from almost 15 years ago, and there’s something kinda neat about that

Been trying out more online play on PS5 VF5REVO this weekend since some folks are swearing it’s the overall best version now.
…Did Sega just outright remove the ability to rank up through room matches? Please don’t force me into Ranked mode low-frame-delay-setting hell

I wonder how much of my generation’s gaming tastes were defined by “whatever the local rental place had available that weekend”
(Did anyone else’s local gas stations and grocery stores have VHS and game rentals)

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.
