Thanks, I also bought it for that reasoning! (So cheap as well!)

I have a plaster on the end of my finger and it feels like a really simple hacking tool. Suddenly I can't use my phone, my tablet, even my mouse is touch sensitive.

These are Cirrocumulus clouds. They’re very pretty. But I’m sorry cirrocumulus clouds, I will never draw you. We all want the poster-boy cumulus clouds.

Grind Square could do with the pink and green colour scheme to make it a tad easier…!

Yay for (presumably) stock sound effects! I could remember those sounds as soon as I saw the headline

Bitmap Book's Fatal Fury Ultimate History is lovely, as expected. I love seeing the behind-the-scenes sketches. And check out the barcode!
Cardboard sleeve for the book. If you press the characters they shout out one of their moves! If you press Mary she says "Touch me", of course.Early concept sketches for the original Fatal FurySketches of game mechanics for Real Bout Fatal Fury, possibly used in the manual? And sketches of the stages.A little Terry Bogard rushing forward with lines coming out behind him to form the Barcode

The fuck-knows-why Charlie Brown comics... Something about that generation + AI = Charlie Brown??

With the NeoGeo AES+ coming out, they're apparently looking for new NeoGeo games from Indies... so, obviously, if there are any NeoGeo devs looking for pixelart let me know! (From this interview video at TGS) www.youtube.com/watch?v=ks2I...

Wondering if this is regarding gaming news or personal news? 🤔 Hope you’re good anyway!

I suspect the long form videos are from non-dev creators, talking about their favourite games or lists

I really hope it ISN’T this

I’m thinking this is the right answer!

That’s fair. Pffft video games anyway, who likes those? Plus there’s no maraoke!

I’ve always wondered… When the lift goes out of view, does it rotate to match the curve, or stay upright? Asking the important questions.

It had one unique track as well didn’t it? I always felt annoyed that it wasn’t on the Saturn version

A good selection! Never seen After Burner Climax in the arcades. A neat game :)

Are people that dumb? Are they really falling for this? "We're the only ones who can save you from our terrible creation, so please keep sending us money"
BBC News headline of "OpenAI boss says world 'right to be afraid' but should trust AI firms"

What’s impressive is that first shot! Gotta love some Neo Turf Masters

I hate that on Instagram. Posting a single picture will never be seen by anyone, so you have to make a short video with a song and a dance… it’s just so not worth it

I think "CNT" for Closed Network Test is a brilliant acronym and whoever decided that was good deserves a raise. Anyway, the Crazy Taxi CNT was not great. I won't be buying it.

I was lucky enough to work on a tiny MegaDrive prototype once. I should get back on it... but it was really satisfying! It's super cool stuff that it can be done relatively easily these days.

First (and last) for incest-y bosses too. Yay!

I would add the Sega arcade game of Lost World. Love that game, can’t even remember the film!

The real question is: why aren’t we all making Saturn games now? There’s apparently no money in games anyway, so might as well have some fun ;)

I think I cheesed my way through that puzzle just using the ultra hand and lots of careful walking, rather than trying to get something to work! I love that there so many ways to do it

Woah, that video! But yeah, basing it on AI output I don't ever see it being fit for purpose

Tom Waterhouse @2dforever.com · 10/09/2026
Yeah, people fall for gimmicks I guess… “if it’s tanking the frame rate it must be good!”

I've seen so many "X game with DLSS5 enabled" videos and I'm always surprised at how excited people are for it?! It genuinely looks awful on every example, it feels like proper gas lighting. Like, can't they see the AI muddy faces? Inconsistencies? Destroying the art direction? Whinge over.

You can feel the anger rising as the “review” goes on… then they mention DEI and then you realise it’s just an angry fascist (again)

Pocket Fighter did it best. I loved the different mechanics and all the silly costumes!

Would have been so much better if Nintendo didn't have a direct today! Great collection though :) Here in Europe we had the less exciting launch date of 14th October 1999. Not quite the same ring to it, but it was a good day!

Now don't get me wrong I love me some Kirby, but let's not lie the best game is still the SNES game. (The golf game Kirby's Dream Course, obviously)
