Ever wanted to play SpikeOut but had trouble setting up the emulator for it? I've made a script that all sets it up for you + adds some useful macros and integrates it into your Steam Library, so you can easily launch it via a shortcut.

P.S. ROMs not included

Herbert's review of Rolling Bird | Backloggd
Procedurally generated levels in action games usually bore me to tears, so what makes Rolling Bird compelling to me? The value of traditional level is, in significant part, narrative in function; Supe...

dude the automaton media virtua fighter interviews are like a fucking pure cortisol shot of hopium. every single answer he gives is The Right One

automaton-media.com/en/interview...
—To begin with, VF is known for having a huge number of motions and a high degree of complexity. Yamada: That’s right. As long as that complexity is preserved, I think we can keep experimenting with various approaches to broaden the game’s appeal. That’s why we’re keeping foot positioning, for example. From the perspective of fighting-game players, it’s one of those confusing elements that just adds more stuff to memorize. But for people unfamiliar with fighters, it’s a “Wow, they even care about those kinds of details? That’s awesome” kind of element. The fact that stance affects the number of combos to learn really only matters to players at the top level. So even though it’s technically a complex mechanic, it doesn’t necessarily narrow the game’s entry point as much as you might think. During playtests, we ask people with zero VF experience about such things, and they respond with “That looks fun,” or “I didn’t know it had things like that.” Meanwhile, long-time fans express concern or give feedback, but the “beginner” imagined by veteran players is often nowhere near an actual beginner. We realized that many of the things veterans assume beginners worry about are things beginners aren’t even thinking about. It reminded us that we need to look at things from a more neutral perspective.

Appreciating Sektori for being one of the few roguelites I know of for bringing interesting ideas to the roguelite table instead of just treating the roguelite elements as playtime inflators or dopamine dispensers, as it manages to harmoniously blend roguelite RNG with arcade design

Sorry TGM Fans! According to recent leaks, the Tetris The Grand Master 4 -Absolute Eye- 1.9 update will NOT introduce a large fish block that appears at random intervals to destroy your stack irreparably

A cartoon drawing of a podcast audience in an auditorium. A speech bubble leading off screen reads "we have a segment on this podcast called 'safety third." In the foreground, an anthropomorphic fox wearing a shirt that says "you're boeing to die" side-eyes an anthropomorphic airliner weearing a shirt that reads "I'm boeing to kill you."

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao
screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

I'm reminded of MH Wilds doubling down on making the first 20+ hours an implicit tutorial for newcomers even though Worlds and Rise sold so much and guaranteed Wilds would have an install base of at least seven million experienced players. Not every game can be an entrypoint in a series/genre!

I'll keep saying this over & over - nobody got into shmups to play novice modes. They got into them because they saw Hibachi, Larsa, an Ikaruga double play or something like that. Devs gotta be confident & have a punk attitude & spend less time thinking about novices

Some modern STGs are conscious of possibly being anyone's first arcade scrolling shooter, and bend themselves into knots trying to be an entire genre tutorial before being their own identifiable game.

As ever, make the games/music/videos/writing you'd want to enjoy, and others will enjoy it too.
