Vector cores like Empire Strikes Back look really great on MisterFPGA now.

I had no idea there was an Ice Cream based sequel to Burgertime. youtube.com/shorts/qI83J... It's awful, though.

OMG MEMORY UNLOCKIED! Totally forgot about this game!!!

This kind of wrecked the game for me--I ended up scanning the map for encounters with guaranteed winning odds and then anim-skipping through those battles. It just became pointless. Absolutely gorgeous game, though.

The popup Sonic museum in LA is tiny but has some nice artifacts.

I finally got kicked of the cool list and didn’t get a Meta Connect invite this year. Granted, I didn’t try very hard to get one.

The new Onimusha is super hard. First boss may be a shelf moment for me. Absolutely gorgeous game, though.

Yeah but they closed again June 8 www.egyptiantheatre.com/film/egyptia... Maybe these new fixes are done? I wasn’t sure what the issue was because the 2023 remodel was great. I’m going to get tix for your new one here!

Also I think they could make a cool feudal Japanese gothic horror / action movie out of the first game.

Finally getting around to playing the Onimusha series in order to prepare for the new one. I never liked the games back in the day--finished the PS4 remaster of the original. A fun, tight little game. It is funny to think how cutting edge it was at the time. It's so simplistic now. Just started 2.

Yeah I saw a poorly rated F2P MMO on Steam. A waste. A $70 AAA Uncharted Waters Origins would kill.

Ralph Barbagallo @flarb.com · 19/08/2026

Why haven’t they given Uncharted Waters the Dynasty Warriors Origin treatment? Especially with the success of Black Flag, a proper next gen new entry would blow up.

@deltaemulator.com can you make an option to have the file browser on an opaque background with white text instead of the emulator semitransparent behind a frosted panel? It’s impossible to read.
