TIL the name of this game is Sektori and not Sekitori like I thought bc I’m too sumo-pilled…

Sektori is one of the best games I’ve played all year. Design perfection, a fantastic soundtrack, it’s almost impossible for me to put down. I need every sicko reading this to play it. For @aftermath.site aftermath.site/sektori-shoo...

I need every sicko reading this to play Sektori right now.

Terrible weekend but I did play some Air Riders. Weird and chaotic and confusing so naturally I like it.
Flower petals drift in a beautiful blue sky. Kirby on the Warp Star machine, looking back at the player and waving as a huge fiery explosion occurs in the background. Text in the top right reads, “Success! You defeated a faraway foe!” A screen from the road trip mode in Kirby Air Riders. Rick the hamster is on screen with boxy pink car to his right. A screen full of sweets — doughnuts, lollipops, square cookies, circle cookies, wrapped candies, twisty things. Text in the top right reads, “New paths may open up depending on the friends you've encountered!”

I’d like to have the 3DS home menu as the main way to emulate and run 3DS games on the Thor, but in practice it’s a little annoying / inefficient. Plus if you want to play games from different regions you have to have two emulators set up…it looks super cool, though.
A Japanese 3DS home menu on the Ayn Thor. The menu theme is Snoopy and friends from Peanuts. A U.S. 3DS home menu on the Ayn Thor. Picross e6 is onscreen in present form. The menu theme is the Animal Crossing falling leaves one.

A tour de force of minimalist design! Absolute marvelous exercise in the power of ellipsis! Also? Just really fun!

Cannot recommend this game enough to anyone who wants to see some of the best JRPG designers narrow the genre down to the very core pieces. Amazing, amazing, amazing.

If you haven't seen Ran, The Human Condition trilogy, Harakiri, or any of the various movies he did with Kurosawa you owe it to yourself to do so. This man is a legend.

Aaaaand just finished Ys Origin over my lunch break! A bit less story forward than Earthbound, let’s say 😅 but a nice action game that goes down quite smoothly!
A screenshot from Ys Origin. A large green tree stands under a dark sky before a line of cliffs. In the background on the right there is a tall, skinny tower. A picture of Dalles from Ys Origin. Dalles is a man with long, white hair, red eyes, and a large four-bladed scepter with a big red oval jewel at the top. He’s wearing a red, black, and blue outfit with a wide black collar and gold trim. The text box reads, “Dalles: I lead the Darklings in their noble pursuits.” A screenshot from Ys Origin. A young woman runs up a sort of floating staircase in a cavernous, darkened room. The landings are lit with purple light. You can see further down the room; there are more lights and staircases and rings of light below. A screenshot from Ys Origin. Two women with white hair sit slumped holding a large blue sphere. A group of people look on.

I finished Earthbound on Tuesday!!! Wooooo! What a fantastic game.
A screenshot from Earthbound. Ness, Paula, Jeff, and Poo stand facing a cave wall spotted in dots of light. Some of the dots form words: “I’ll be…” A screenshot from Earthbound. A black and white bedroom with a crib in the middle. The crib is shinier and a bit more defined than the rest of the room. The text box reads, “rich or famous… but I want him to be a thoughtful, strong boy.” A screenshot from Earthbound. Ness stands in a purple lake before a horned, golden, sparkling statue. The lake has three pointy pink and green rocks sticking up out of it in a triangle. A screenshot from Earthbound. Gerardo Montague, Dr. Andonuts, Apple Kid, and five Mr. Saturns stand next to the Phase Distorter in Saturn Valley. The text box reads, “and they all started praying for the safety of Ness and his friends.)”

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...

It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.

Please share :)
The Video Game History Expansion Pack – Pitch your story
Today I’m putting my money where my mouth is and launching a new project — a book focused on game history outside of the usual North American perspectives.

A THRILLING package from Alligator’s Mouth in England came yesterday!! Can’t wait to crack into the Harrison, but I’m going to have to reread all of His Dark Materials before I get to Rose Field 😅
A stack of four books on top of bright orange fabric. Two are Philip Pullman’s Rose Field, and the two on top are paperback copies of M. John Harrison’s The Course of the Heart.

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.

Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.

If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.
