@janochoa.bsky.social thanks for getting my cave voicemail played, it certainly went places I'd not anticipated
@jeffgerstmann.com I've just woken up, at 4 am, with space circus fever music looping in my head. How do I stop this, what is the cure?
@brandon.insertcredit.com I really appreciate the music recommendations on @insertcredit.com Have you discovered psychoangel before? Music | psychoangel share.google/cfPQxb4fMajO...
I honestly don't know how @grubb.wtf is playing this, ignoring the visual puke the controls are some of the worst I've ever encountered
@grubb.wtf @tolkoto.com @danryckert.com thanks to you sickos I fired up sewer shark on 3do today. I was a bit disappointed with the video quality until I watched the latest TITR, it much cleaner. I don't think I like the changes to the higher fidelity music and HUD though. You should check it out.
@jerf.xyz I'm the 8%, I've been experimenting with less knee-jerk doommongering on Xbox and trying to look at it as "the whole platform holder(s) and triple-a scene is fucked, maybe what is needed is for aggressive streamlining from everyone just to survive" Smaller teams, more experimentation
@jeffgerstmann.com what is your scientific plan for N64 games with optional expansion pack support, feels like they often trade resolution for performance. Are you going to try both modes, and how will it affect their positioning?
@jeffgerstmann.com Cruis'n may have birthed pumped up kicks, but more importantly I reckon Buck Bumble led us here youtu.be/EyRE0s-Ofts?...

@grubb.wtf @tolkoto.com delight club at Grubb's / bombathon / extra life?
@danryckert.com @tolkoto.com @grubb.wtf bombathon 2026 goal, you have to try and learn all 600(?) who wants to be a millionaire questions and then speedrun it. Fastest time wins a blight in the bank
@grubb.wtf @tolkoto.com @danryckert.com when I wanted to do this cosplay I used white and yellow chalk to "sun bleach" my dark hair and beard. Blink and you'll miss it
2027, the year of the Linux droptop www.zdnet.com/article/this...
@grubb.wtf That Acclaim snowboarding game is just Dreamcast Trickstyle without the turn of the millennium sci-fi attitude
Riven reminds me of the Scottish island I visited a few years ago that was strewn with mysterious pipework powering some sort of crazy foghorns or something @tolkoto.com @grubb.wtf @janochoa.bsky.social
@grubb.wtf whilst the other two are distracted (or perhaps just plotting your next pain) I'll drop this here. Sewers confirmed

@grubb.wtf @tolkoto.com Dan's had it too easy, and loves the N64, is it time for Romero's return - Ryckertana
@grubb.wtf @danryckert.com @tolkoto.com there's three Bart Simpson games, they're all terrible, there's three people on Blight club, seems to me a season of Bart club should be on the cards. An extra life that's just 24 hours of Simpsons games playthroughs?
@grubb.wtf @tamoorh.com did you ever come to a decision on my question about American dogging?
@grubb.wtf @tolkoto.com @danryckert.com any scope for film n blighties?
@shiftf1podcast.bsky.social fantasy F1 gives you the wake up that you're not as witty/original as you'd hoped, when the team name "How you Doohan?" Is already in use Nabbed my favourite recursive acronym "Haas As A Service" instead
@dark1x.bsky.social @brandon.insertcredit.com the previous owner of my Virtual Boy broke and threw out the stand, so at uni I kept it on the top shelf of my wardrobe and visitors would peer into the red and black worlds behind the doors. I like to think Wario Land is set in Narnia
@grubb.wtf Titus published a Xena Warrior Princess fighting game on N64 (I have it, it's bad). Quest mode could be a good blightning, and Ares or Joxer costumes would be amazing
Hang on, so if I do ever get my hands on rtx 50 series or later, and wish to enjoy some older games, I need to consider a second GPU to live that dedicated (32bit) physx accelerator life. Hey "retro pc" market, start working out which bus-powered cards have enough cuda pls @dachsjaeger.bsky.social
