I had no internet at home for two days, and I cannot see how it isn't classified as a utility yet.

For this week's Tunesday, I was greeted with a few new items at my door. In particular, I am finishing up Retro Game Remix's Level 10, a 2LP compilation of arrangements across the board. some rock, some pop, some jazz. A fun variety to spin from Troggo Studio #VGMVinyl

Okay. 2024, I got 7 more games I beat and will add to the list. I guess last year was a good one to catch through my backlog!
January 1, 2025 at 3:52 PM
Okay, added another 10 games to my pinned "Beat Games of 2024" list - now at 45. Gotta pick up the pace, since I have 10+ more to add right now. And a couple of those are not Switch games :O

When you go shopping these next few days, remember what a perfect parking garage needs: rally racing and ska music. Parking Garage Rally Circuit even has a vinyl soundtrack if you wanna embrace the chaos. #VGMAdvent #VGM theholophonics.bandcamp.com/album/parkin...

@strangescaffold.bsky.social This might sound sudden, but I'm curious. Did Teenage Demon Slayer Society become the TMNT game? Or are they just of the similar cloth?

And if I wanted to go more into the indie space tonight, how about I go into a psychedelic space uterus and grow some plants? Ultros by @ratvaderr.bsky.social is a musical trip that matches well with El Huervo's world. And the Vinyl from @lacedrecords.com is a fun selection, too. #VGMAdvent #VGM

Okay, for today's Video Game Music Selection, I found this soundtrack posted like today. Knight Arms: The Hyblid Framer by Arsys Software. A Sharp X68000 mech shooter. Never saw much of the game, but it sure sounds pretty neato. #VGMAdvent #VGM www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xZx...

Alright, I'm going to get into good trouble for this! For each like and repost I get on this I'll donate $1 dollar to the @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social. I'll keep counting until Monday. @frankcifaldi.bsky.social & @philsalv.bsky.social wish me luck! Hopefully the org gets some decent money from this.
Video game history in action! 2024 was a big year for moving the conversation forward, preserving important artifacts, and building tools that make access easier for everyone. As our annual Winter Fundraiser heats up, let's look back at the year that was: gamehistory.org/our-2024-in-...

🚨 THE SWITCH PATCH IS HERE 🚨

IT'S FINALLY TIME! Every area in the entire game has been significantly optimized, improving framerate in almost every circumstance.

Thank you so so much for your patience, it's been a long time coming!!

Whoops, I almost forgot to do a #vgmadvent along with #tunesday. Today, let's share some love for Arzette, a cdi love letter with stellar music by @buttonmasher.bsky.social. Check it out here or bandcamp or on vinyl! open.spotify.com/album/3Wdrnr...

Today, I would like to call out an indie game soundtrack I really adore. kuso (LOVE 2) is a fast-paced pixel platformer in which you can set your own checkpoints. It also has a banger soundtrack - a track for each stage! The whole series goes in. #VGMAdvent kusothegame.bandcamp.com/album/kuso-o...

Sure, let's see how long I can maintain a VGM Advent Calendar. First, let's try some obscure running racer on PS1: Running High. Thanks to @seanseanson.bsky.social for bringing this game to my attention. Man the soundtracks of that era were something. #VGMAdvent youtu.be/sT44IGXdMTE?...

I've updated my "games I beat this year" list, but because it is a thread I'm not sure people see it. So, I pinned it! 35 down...18 to go (later). I'll sooner or later talk about games I paused or abandoned, too.

29. Trip World DX by @limitedrungames.bsky.social and Sunsoft. This is certainly how I want the Carbon Engine releases to be. Not only do we get an enhanced version of the GB game, but we also get adequate extras and a nice interview with the creator. Short game but with so much in it.

Tail of the Sun by Natsuhiko Shimada (Artdink). Cassetron went out there with this album. The linear notes are only in Japanese, but there are quite the detailed overview and homage to this silly PS1 era game. Also, I have to get used to sound effects between the songs. #Tunesday #VGM #VGMVinyl
