april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 05/09/2026i like six. i havent played much of disco elysium but he is kind of like kim kitsuragi if he could teleport people 020
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 05/09/202626) HEAVEN'S VAULT really fascinating narrative game! it feels quite ambitious and is in some senses bursting at the seams technically, sometimes for the worse, and it has some jank and weird design choices, but i enjoyed a lot of it and it gave me a lot to chew on. 010
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 30/08/2026lol i forgot to add to this for months. anyway: 25) THE SMASH PROS (rewatch) so many jokes in this are the basis of my sense of humour. except for the racist ones i forgot about? that + being a parody of the smash bros doc makes this the most unrecommendable thing ever, even if i like lots of it 110
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 23/08/2026when i was trying to get streetpass working with my partner i installed this app, and i guess its not flagged for being ignored by streetpass lmao 030
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 22/08/2026i was in perth recently and randomly got a streetpass when i was at the shops, at which point i thought "oh damn maybe there is less of a deep spiritual rot in this place than i thought", but i had to rescind that statement when i saw the message 1100
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 29/06/2026im trying to write something about why i love evergrace's soundtrack for a zine, and in researching it i found an upload talking about the cultural appropriative elements of the vocal samples it uses. if only i had a larger word count with which to bring this up... youtu.be/Po4d8sOLRyw 130
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 21/05/202624) DIVINE HAMMER enjoyed it a lot. i love the shot on home video aesthetic and the way it morphs from the dread of its initial premise into something else. i already wanted to make art with my friends of course but this affirms that even more 140
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 18/05/202623) CITIZEN SLEEPER incredible piece of interactive fiction that ill be thinking about for a long time. my favourite moment was, after a huge narrative sigh of relief, sharing a meal with emphis and talking about what my character remembered of their old life. what a beautiful game 140
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 13/05/202622) PIPI & BIBI'S ok mechanically this sucks. but also, erotically it sucks. ive heard of strip mahjong video games, but a strip action platformer ARCADE game is insane. AND its by fucking toaplan?! imagine playing this on an actual arcade cabinet and scrolling past tits in public?!?! 130
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 13/05/202621) 28 DAYS LATER i already consider it great for the kinds of things it tackles and how it tackles them but its also a movie shot on prosumer video equipment and it looks so good. and has this shot in it. what the fuck 120
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 07/05/202620) NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE if he had just asked them to play ps1 instead of n64... incredible movie. theres so many things here where i have no idea how they pulled it off. but with the right person, all things in art are possible :) 140
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 05/05/202619) REDLINE the most hot-blooded movie of all time. actually just the Most movie of all time. theres a kaiju subplot in this racing movie. every background character is probably someones beloved OC and every background detail shows something wild abt the world that we never fully see. what a film! 140
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 05/05/202618) DYKE HARD fun to watch with the people that i did, and incredibly camp! not entirely sure if i would recommend it though. that being said i got a kick out of the fact that scotty (the butch dyke in the center) ends up having some manner of lesbian sex with someone new every 10-15 minutes 110
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 29/04/202617) OBJECT PERSONIFICATION IN AUTISM: THIS PAPER WILL BE VERY SAD IF YOU DON'T READ IT ok i finally read it but right at the end it goes "oh this is so distressing for autistic ppl. our proof is one (1) forum thread." why didnt your study gather data about how autistic people actually perceive it?! 130
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 26/04/202616) SYLVIE RPG: 7 ELF APOCALYPSE a really fun little bumpslash thing that i cant beat the final boss of but is still lovely. really interesting approach to secrets, especially considering they tend to be related to a bunny or kitty or puppy 110
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 19/04/2026NON-MEDIA BONUS ROUND: THAT ONE PUB IN PARRAMATTA THAT USED TO BE A HOOTERS they've changed it so much that you can't even tell any more. how quickly we forget our history. 020
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 15/04/202615) CHUNGKING EXPRESS (4th rewatch) still one of the best movies of all time. in the past it was tempting to call it dreamlike but that implies a kind of unreality. maybe noticing and falling in love with so many elements of the world just makes your life really feel like that. 130
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 10/04/2026shouldn't have drunk that shit, now everything looks like a ps4 launch title 020
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 06/04/2026BONUS ROUND: 10000000 IN 1 UNCHAINED MELODY 95 you will never guess how this unofficial famiclone multicart with the nier replicant remake-ass title manages to fit 10 million games on one cartridge! 110
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 06/04/202614) SONIC ERASER come for the abrasive but actually good FM synthesised music, stay at least a little longer for the "oh my god i got a combo and then my sonic punched their sonic and now im controlling both sides of the board at once?!" 110
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 06/04/202613) SONIC CRACKERS its interesting playing chaotix immediately after this and seeing how much is missing. its always cool playing prototypes like this. i really want to see this transparency effect on a crt. 130
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 06/04/202612) YEAH YEAH BEEBISS II its rly interesting how people have learned to do amazing things with famitracker after many unbroken years of practice, but we dont have that many unbroken years of actually making games for the NES so the gameplay is kinda mid or weird. also its called Yeah Yeah Beebiss 2 131
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 03/04/202611) BINARY LAND honestly there's a cute idea buried in there, with having to control both penguins at once, but i don't think i can vouch for it until they remake it as Nonbinary Land. actually had anyone done that yet 120
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 03/04/202610) SUPER MARIO BROS. i played it for literally 2 seconds and i don't get what all the fuss is about. 120
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 29/03/20269) DRAGON'S HEAVEN a real pervert movie (not necessarily sexual). you can tell because her shoulderpads are huge, and the appendages, and that they blew basically all of the budget on the animatronic that only shows up in the opening (more than worth it). 130
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 29/03/20268) BUZZ! JUNIOR: MONSTER RUMBLE kind of fascinating that there's a game you can play with the buzz controllers that isn't a quiz? but idk what else to say about it. i didn't have the ideal experience because my controller was fucked and the retrotink added latency. and the sun was in my eyes 110
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 24/03/20267) MICROSOFT WINDOWS 98 (NES) uh. does anyone know how to undo installing this over your housemate's already existing windows partition. asking for a friend 110
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 24/03/20266) WITCHES WEED (NES) i loooove to play a NES game that No-Intro hasn't got hashes for & it's interesting to have a 6 digit death counter instead of lives, but unfortunately i could not get past the second screen. so i can't say "she doesn't even smoke weed" because maybe she does at the end! 100
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 19/03/20265) GIRL ZONE you could excavate a really good girls last tour/shimeji simulation-style yuri from this game's premise and unintentionally funny/unsettling bits. sadly it's a shovelware minigame collection by phoenix games that includes a dress up game where each clothing has an objective ranking 130
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 19/03/20264) HACKERS (1995) awesome movie not only because it gets closer to the truth of what fiddling with computers both involves and feels like but also because kate talks about how RISC is the future and she's right. it IS the future 330
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 15/03/20263) CRASH OF THE TITANS i would help my uncle tighten a jack, but i would not help him jack a titan. mostly because it's kinda mid. anyway check out this concept art of the saddest fox skrunkly you've ever seen: 131
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 03/03/2026case in point: this screenshot from the rabbit and steel dlc is a category 1 new profile picture moment for me 020
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 25/02/2026started playing gimmick for the NES. its kinda evil (positive), like, it has a secret area accessible in the first room that requires you to do the games equivalent of launching a koopa shell into the wall and then jumping off of it. also look at this weird little freak 020
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 20/02/2026lol im glad i could recycle that bit on a new site. anyway: 2) TALL TWINS TOWER i like that theres a cute rabbit creature and i like how it plays + you can figure it out even with no english tl. havent done 2P mode yet though. you'd be building 2 towers! what if a plane flies into one of them... 120
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 19/02/20261) KH2FM - SORA BODYGUARDS [REWATCH] its insane that this kh2fm hacking video, from 2008, turned 18 years old this year. it feels like it has loomed eternal over my understanding of games/art, as living, breathing things, because of how we can mod them like this www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJCP... 120
april 👻 @aprilghost.net · 28/08/2025im looking into OVAs and pattern recognition brain strikes again. i cant construct a bit for this one 010
