For all my fellow sIop haters out there! There's a Chrome/Firefox extension you guys can download an extension called "Al Warning For Steam" that will warn you on your browser if you're about to click on a sIop game before even clicking on it. No more awkward moments Stay safe and FUCK THE MACHINE

Does anyone have a N64 Delta overclock mod with an Everdrive 64 (not X series)? I've heard rumor that they're incompatible, but not sure if that's fully true or just true if overclocked too high.

Kamaitachi no Yoru is simply one of the most important Japanese games in history, period. In the historical trajectory of novel games, if Otogirisou, Chunsoft's previous gane, is Pac-Land, this is Super Mario Brothers. It is that foundational in the storytelling and design paradigms it codified.
