If you've never checked out the retro gaming zine Between the Scanlines, you're missing out on something incredible, dude. Very good content for your brain space.

New pinned post and info sheet!

I'm curious and passionate about a whole bunch of nerdy and cool stuff! I also publish a fortnightly retro gaming and anime 'zine and write on several blogs:

Scanlines zine: betweenthescanlines.itch.io
Main blog: scanlineartifacts.wordpress.com

A pixel campfire themed info sheet giving an introduction about how I'm a self-employed freelance writer, a zine publisher, a collector and enthusiast of older games and computer/console hardware and also run a racing competition, and very much into 90s and 2000s anime!

Passionate about PS1, Amiga, Wii, and Mega Drive in particular!

doctors hate this quick dopamine fix for adhd addled brains

playing old games on new systems will rectify your brain chemistry: a case for the importance of handheld emulation (the act, not the scene)

Not to shamelessly self promote, but if you're into what this article has to say and you like video games, we write about neurodivergence in gaming. Check us out! (Excellent article btw, thank you for this <3)

Love seeing journalists for big outlets examining what we examine what we over here at gAmeDHD are all about.

"One commenter captured what I was worried about: 'This is the same rhetoric used when people say that “everyone is queer these days'."

🧠 "Neuroqueering is a response that puts the individual - not cultural norms - first."

What can we learn from ‘neuroqueer’ theory?

Increasing rates of neurodiversity are no more a trend than the higher proportion of people coming out - but there are some parallels between neurodiversity and queerness

I finally got caught up on Season 2 of the Playdate, and boy-howdy is it a doozy. Each of the first three weeks have offered up some primo game-ature for your little yellow handheld (not to mention Blipo+). The ADHD Console reigns supreme yet again. Stay tuned to Blipo+ and gAmeDHD. Love you!

playdate: season2

3. I don't know shit 'bout nothin', but there has been a contingency of writers who have given me a few keys to the kingdom, and I'm beyond grateful.

gAmeDHD.com @gamedhd.bsky.social · Jun 9

2. Games journalists and critics are the hardiest and sturdiest and most resourceful set of creatives out there. As a group *and* as individuals. They don't know what "can't" means.

1. It is an impossible task to accurately and concisely encapsulate the entirety of the current landscape. This was a fool's errand.

I've spent about 45 days researching and preparing this expansive look at games media from an outsider freak's perspective, and I've really only learned three things thus far:

Will the Man Get Frog?

@marechalbanane.bsky.social strikes hard.

@marechalbanane.bsky.social 's game "Will the Man Get Frog" will force you to sound smart. I built a handheld pico8 machine, and this is all me and @pastaslut3000.bsky.social are stuck playing.

It's 3 for me, but I can totally see why it would be 2. That system rips in a different way. Damn now I wanna play 2 again.

And that's not even touching on the whole "eat the ruling class" part of Xenoblade 3's ethos. Plus it gives you the most fun class system since FF Tactics. Absolute perfection, no notes.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is *peak* societal critique and commentary. If you thought it was, what I've seen described as "popcorn anime bullshit"... I just can't connect with you. Xenoblade proves that everyone has worth. The fact that that's foundational knowledge some ppl lack is, like, super spooky.

There's something magical about seeing a #UFO50 game level fully compiled into one image. I love being able to see the intention behind entries in my overall favorite game of all time (tied with FFXIV). Very cool stuff!

Even if the OG translation was probably "kusoge," doesn't change the fact that sometimes a boring game is exactly what your brain craves/needs sometimes.
