The chintzy-looking M64 clone console of the N64 by a company named ModRetro has been released, I think, I don't pay attention that closely to shit. But as the great @frankcifaldi.bsky.social posted before, it is our civic duty to push back against this company and shun ANYONE who doesn't.

Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.

you already know what's up (steam sale rec thread is what's up) as always, i focus primarily on older, more obscure, and just plain weirder games, as big name titles don't need the help. with that said, onwards!

an edited screenshot of the titlescreen to ducktales for the NES, with 'Ducktales' replaced by 'Spacetwinks Rec Thread', with my pink kangaroo fursona's head sandwiched inbetween.

underneath, it reads:

Fucked up we didn't get an RPG based on Ducktales 2017

There's a reason Rez Infinite is one of the best games of all time, and it's only $7.49. Incredible on a small flat screen, mindblowing on a big fancy screen, existentially uplifting in virtual reality. Why not give Rez a trance. store.steampowered.com/app/636450/R...

Lost so much respect for them over this. Seems completely antithetical to the way John has spoken about aesthetics and artistry in games for his entire tenure with the team.

I think it's weird for people who are nominally journalists to say things like "We should have waited to see what people think." The issue isn't that you lost the coin flip of public opinion; the issue was that you gave into astonishment. The problem is that the keyjingling got you at all!

The real issue is that DLSS (and all upscalers) had already inadvertently encouraged devs to stop bothering with optimisation. DLSS5 seems to encourage them to stop bothering with art direction too. Proper death of games stuff.

I really hope you're pushing back on this one John - it seems completely antithetical to what DF have always strived to champion. Genuinely shocked to see Rich and Oliver gushing over it.

Chris T. Etris @chashodges.bsky.social · 17/03/2026

I can only assume DF are taking massive under the table payments here because the coverage is beyond pathetic. Expected so much more from this team.

Chris T. Etris @chashodges.bsky.social · 17/03/2026

I think it should default on with the ability to toggle off per game - the visual upgrade is too big not to preference for me at least. Text and pixel art actually looking crisp is massive.

Chris T. Etris @chashodges.bsky.social · 17/03/2026

This is MASSIVE. Genuinely never thought Nintendo would bother. This improves the visual clarity of EVERY SINGLE SWITCH 1 TITLE in handheld. Only downside (I assume) are that you'd lose handheld specific options like touch input with this toggle on.
