I did get the email that marvel unlimited is going through an app change and unlimited is being discontinued. Still, none of what Marvel is producing right now is worth the per issue price. Marked down trades, possibly.

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.

Fun fact. I have literally started this game and played it for five minutes, get hyped about its intro, and then abruptly stop and forget about it for years and have done so multiple times since the early 2000s. I should really, really, really play Policenauts all the way through sometime.

(I feel like I am leaving a lot off, but feel like this sufficiently covers it, save for me not mentioning a bunch of Contra, Castlevania, Mega Man, TMNT, or even any Mario games.)

I miss making shirts through teepublic and stuff, but the platform's return payout for what they make is so bonkers as shit, its not even worth making stuff on it or trying to promote. And thats before the rise of what i'm sure has becone an unchecked platform of theft and emergent GenAI trash.

Between this and Elevator Action, that's it for the Es in my NES library! There are shockingly few NES games with titles that start with E, just three total in the US! (I'm missing Eliminator Boat Duel, and I doubt I'm going to bother to grab that). Onto the Fs!

Its....more of a slog than I remember. And I want to love it. And am enjoying it based on certain aspects, but I agree wholeheartedly.

Internet Famous Joe Martin @joerocks1981.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

I started an MGAc!d playthrough based on you mentioning yours. Because I loved the first one and never got to 2, despite owning it for decades.

Internet Famous Joe Martin @joerocks1981.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Thank you. I was so excited about this until I saw how they did it.

Internet Famous Joe Martin @joerocks1981.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Okay. I get it now. Yeah. Its zero risk, marginal effort game design on top of an existing idea. And I get why Nintendo would do that because its literally printing money for them just by releasing it. Starfox remake, felt that, too, but I also enjoyed it FWIW. I enjoy 64 with some QoL improvements.

I get everyone's concerns and feelings, naturally. I just dont think it looks as bad as some games that come out can.

Unwarranted counterpoint from someone who, yes, never played or got into the original Ocarina of Time. It looks alright to me? Probably not the game of the century everyone says OoT is, but, its made me actually wanna give it a shot this time. And I havent liked a Zelda since Link to the Past.

Been feeling the need to do some Tactical Espionage Action again soon. A friend on here was playing Metal Gear Ac!d, and it not only made me wanna revisit both of those especially, but just do a playthrough of all of it all over again.

I really am thrilled to be vetting playable Metroid-Power imbued Samus Adventures so soon.

Thats how i originally found and followed Snatcher. And Pulseman. I bet I had seen this there as well and just glossed over it.

Internet Famous Joe Martin @joerocks1981.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Its freaking awesome. I played it on stream a bit ago after discovering it and need to revisit it.

I did give TDA a try but it didnt sink. Maybe now is the time to retry.

Internet Famous Joe Martin @joerocks1981.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

I agree. I felt Eternal was the perfect execution of modern Doom, especially since i've tried playing 2016 a few times and get really bored, and have beaten Eternal a few times.

I'm really amazed what they have done with SA-1 enhancement since they fixed how rough Gradius III was on SNES.

I wish I had more people to socialize with about retro game, old tcgs, and art stuff in person. I'd also be fine if I was better at using discord for things.

Remember: If you buy GTA6, you support union busting and employers who actively go out of their way to hurt their employees. We need to normalize that it's not OK. Please don't buy it. Support indie games instead!

Disappointed after seeing a cute PC/console/handheld repair shop sim on Steam this morning that looked cute, until finding its apparently full of undisclosed garbage GenAI assets and suspicious data collection practices. Oh well. Guess I get to keep ten bucks.

I just read his followup to this on substack, and to be honest. Its not much better. ELLISON SPOKE HIS LAST WORDS ON EARTH TO THIS MAN AND THANKED HIM FOR HIS FRIENDSHIP. And Ellison was notorious for his hotheadness and opinions about being properly compensated and the like. This is a dick move.

Internet Famous Joe Martin @joerocks1981.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

I missed the who this was about and later somehow discovered that it was JMS. Which is very, very, verily incredibly disappointing for a lot of reasons, especially with his close work together with Ellison on making Babylon 5. Im kind of devastated about how flippant and shitty this is.

One of the few good things in this world is that NISEI still exists, continues to be supported as a fan project, is awesome, is mostly free and easily accessible. I should honestly get back into playing it more, because its still truly the most incredible card game on the market of its kind.
