wanted to do a post with all my fully released #GBStudio #GameBoy games in an easy-to-find thread. it'll update as new things come out, but only with complete games- so nothing unfinished or just a demo. you can always find those projects (and my other game stuff) over at:

The original Let It Die was famous for its absolutely amazing soundtrack. Akira Yamaoka went and got in touch with a HUNDRED of his favourite indie bands and commissioned each to do a track named 'let it die'. The result was borderline mystical.

They're AI-generating the music here.

Fuck that.
The Let it Die sequel - Let it Die: Inferno - which is coming out next week (4th December), seems to have been built using a considerable amount of generative AI. https://bit.ly/4ol7lIA

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

every time. it never fails.
God I hate remaster/remake culture. Losing my mind at how many reviews/comments I've seen that complain about the vertex jitter in the new version of R-Type Delta.

"Wobbly polygons" are part of the charm, aesthetic, and visual identity of PS1 games.

Old games are *supposed to look old*.

You're probably familiar with "gamblification", the increasing presence of gambling in our lives. Well, have you heard that comic books are getting gamblified too?
In 2025, blind bags became a huge hit for the comic industry: playingps2.xyz/comics/blind...
Comic books are getting gamblified now too.
Because of course they are.

It would be extremely cool if a bunch of people called payment processors over Black Friday weekend to ask why they're telling people what they can and can't buy with their own money. This holiday season, give the gift of calling payment processors over Black Friday weekend
Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.

What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

..so it seems the people who made iiSu are trash. Simply avoid it, there's far too much open source emulator related software to be supporting people like this.
They nuked the chats but I was able to save some screenshots of some of the other pretty terrible things in there.

i take frenzy damage every time i see someone go "well i just use it for the boring stuff". what are you TALKING about? if it's boring or unimportant, why are you putting it in? NPC dialogue is fertile ground for worldbuilding, creating verisimilitude, conveying important information, and hijinks!!
Buy a solo indie dev's game because I want to support them.

Find out it uses OpenAI to write "non-important NPC dialogue".

Goddamnit Scishow! First they give HRT advice so bad it could get trans people killed, and now they're lying for AI corps. I can't trust them at all anymore.

I can't wait to see all of my mutuals that play Fortnite regularly to not touch the game for the entirety of the season in solidarity of all of their trans homies! It's so nice knowing so many people that aren't just allies when it's convenient for them! 🙂💖

After publishing this article, I've heard from many that CR seems to be using AI to produce dub CCs. Now, thanks to a slip-up CR had with episode 6 dub of The Banished Court Magician, we can say that with 100% certainty: Crunchyroll is using the AI service Ollang.com for its dub closed captions!

Already seeing folks say, "Well, HORSES isn't YUCKY PORN like other games are, so..." which is super frustrating.

Now is NOT the time to be throwing the hentai games you happen not to like under the bus. Your rage should be directly at payment processors.

It's official. Defenders of the Legacy: A Bloody Roar Fanzine is live and 100% free to download!

Over 150 pages of Bloody Roar art, writing, and... even a couple music tracks I put together. There might be more on that on my YouTube channel later.

Finished version of Cancelled N64 title ‘Viewpoint 2064’ found and dumped online
In 1992, Sammy and SNK released the isometric shmup, Viewpoint, for the Neo-Geo. It was acclaimed at the time for its cutting edge visuals and soundtrack and was to receive a sequel on the Nintendo 64 that was cancelled and seemingly lost to time. An in-progress ROM of the game was found and dumped online in 2020, but a bigger find has happened now.
