My Color Dreams Experience continues with a game that is genuinely legitimately good, and also with a game that is the single worst thing I have ever seen on the NES. In conclusion, Color Dreams is a land of contrasts: Crystal Mines & Robodemons | NES Works 176 youtu.be/Tb9fXrl6LJ4

I'm being told the action game version of Back to the Future has been undumped for the PC-8801, with all images floating online being the adventure game. With the powers of @mp83.bsky.social's team and me combined, we have now fixed that 😸 archive.org/details/back...

Review: "DIGGER" (2026) www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXwn... SPOILER WARNING! What might have sounded daring on paper unfolds as a tacky mess, the arthouse-blockbuster equivalent of a hack stand-up comic who ends a routine after dropping one punchline and then sticks around for an hour of "crowd-work."

Shogi Shoshinsha Muyo fulfills the obligation of having a shogi game on the PC Engine: no more, no less. Someday I might have to do a video on the concept of the obligatory game: ones that exist to fill a niche on a platform in that moment and have little appeal past that. youtu.be/78ISBhHk-pM

I mean if we're talking 1990 the best we could hope for was a late-era NES game or second year Genesis game? certainly a little early for the 16-bit days, to be sure. wonder what that would have been like!

OH. right! i get it now!

i get why AI is so depressing to me. because covid already shrunk my world to almost nothing, where almost all of my life revolves around socializing and watching videos on the internet (which is being ruined by AI) and creating creative works through coding (which is being ruined by AI), often using open source tools and libraries (which are being ruined by AI)

i already had so little and now even that is being rotted away before my eyes
