iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

First pic with the new phone vs last pic with the old phone. Finally, color has been restored to my world!

Someone posted about Deadlock Rat Kings voice lines each naming a different rat and I lost it at 'I brough gumdrop's whole polycule'. 10/10 bit.

Hard to get excited about anything new in retro gaming cause now, like art, ya gotta stop and distinguish if it was artificially generated. Like no thanks, I do not like eating basura from the basura-o-matic even if you try to coat it in nostalgia.

All set to start some October game streaming with one of the few Castlevania games I have never played. And with this, I am finally breaking into PS2 emulation which I have surprisingly held off on until now (despite wanting to replay Tales of Legendia badly).

Playing recomps and decomps was great until how much generative ai usage came to light and it sucks that its use is so pervasive just to put out garbage and frustrate those few who are doing the great work by hand. Can't even get excited for any new project or release atp.

Finding out someone you admired wasn't who you thought they were is painful. I understand the impulse to retreat into cynicism when it happens. However, it hurts because you cared about someone. Going through life being afraid to invest in other people sounds pretty lonely.

Game lineup for spooky season: Castlevania: Lament of Innocence SOTN Randomizer Deadlock (its got dead in the name) Resident Evil 4 Remake Castlevania Belmonts Curse Maybe The Binding of Isaac I think that's sufficiently spooky for stream games.

The attitude of simply playing everything available to you, regardless of how it was produced or whether it’s even accurate to the real experience, is driving us up the fucking wall. Mindless, uncritical consumption is how we get Palmer Luckey releasing Game Boys built with murder drone parts.

Seeing the baseball season ending, the Houston Astros on the verge of getting into the post season and some touching stories just makes me wish dad were still here to see it all. The sound of a baseball game coming from the other room was always on tap each day of the season. Now its just quiet.

Shoutouts to JurassicOri for sitting down with me to go over the MBTL cast to help decide what characters to land on to learn. Helped put a lot of the game into perspective.

Thank you for a warm reception from yesterday. I'm filled with energy to develop a game that gives you happiness🙏During the development, I'll work hard for the most difficult area such as rollback machine, before the full release. For now, a network that I wrote proudly by myself is available freely

Was excited for this one. I worked on ArcSys's Qliphah in Providence's Shadow as editor! Rena's reminiscent of Ragna the Bloodedge (fun for this Blazblue girlie). The VN-like story is eerie but straightforward, the battle system unique, and the presentation stylish. It's also only $25! Check it out!

Hayato and June from Star Gladiator Don’t mind him just giving his girl a ride home after toppling a Nazi space empire #PlasmaSword #StarGladiator #capcom

Hayato and June riding through space on his bike (at least I think, the opening to plasma sword looks like Hayato is riding through space on his bike)

Just a lil tidbit about this piece it’s meant to reference the shrek and frieren bike meme but that’s actually a reference to the 1995 noir flick Fallen Angels….

So Fallen Gladiator

Went back to more FFXI, continuing on the Chains of Promathia story. I have begun to love the ragtag group of characters making up the story squad. The devs started to reach their stride, with the cut scenes and building up the excitement. Too bad we're lvl 99 and the battles are all piss easy lol
