Just finished mastering every Sesame Street game on RetroAchievements, because why the hell not? #retroachievements #retrogaming

I'm coming out of my shell to give this brief statement: If you can't get a hold of Kitasan Black, go for Sakura Bakushin O. She's about as equal ̷(̷A̷ ̷b̷i̷t̷ ̷s̷t̷r̷o̷n̷g̷e̷r̷ ̷a̷c̷t̷u̷a̷l̷l̷y̷)̷ in power as Kitasan Black. Thank you for your time. #umamusume #gacha #gambling

I found this small snippet of DDR in one of my old game design books from college (sometime between 2004 and 2005). I've been addicted to this amusing diversion for over 20 years!

I'm always online, but that's because nobody will talk to me regardless of my status 🙃

Man, it's been 23 days since I last posted. Here's what I've been up to. Completing every Beatmania game on RetroAchievements (so far). #retro #rhythmgaming #retroachievements #beatmania

I was only 3 when I first started picking up the controller, and the limited AI wasn't a bother for me either. We didn't have any sports games outside maybe some racing games. We mostly had arcade ports such as Asteroids, Donkey Kong, Jungle Hunt, Jr. Pac-Man, and a few others.

I was born just before the NES was released. My parents already had a 2600, Intellivision and VIC-20 which I played with in the meantime. I haven't played on anything older, but wouldn't be afraid to try them out at a retro convention or event sometime!

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 20/01/2025

Everyone knows the NES, and a few less know of the Atari 2600. Then there's me who is aware of the oddities like the Magnavox Odyssey, MSX, Amiga, C64, and The Vectrex!

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 20/01/2025

And little did they know 25 years later, the game would appear on a Nintendo console!

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 20/01/2025

I miss the days when normies were not on the internet.

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 20/01/2025

When I saw this for the first time it made me so mad they didn't turn the whole game into an HD-2D remaster. All the other games were fine, but FFVI should've been the conclusive modern remaster that nobody expected.

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

I went with the 8BitDo Pro 2 to give me an actual Switch controller that doesn't drift, but I might consider getting the SN30 Pro for the retro gaming.

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

I can already see the story: You "purposefully" stomped on a little kids foot, breaking all their toes! Karen's going to assume that you will take responsibility and paying all of her child's medical bills as they will no longer be able to walk thanks to your unprovoked aggressiveness! 😠

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

Too bad the game is shut down. I really enjoyed playing it. 😭

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

It is very possible, I assure you. But emulation in rhythm games is not 100% accurate. You can't afford hardly any frame delay when it comes to full comboing songs. The PS1 games especially are brutal with the already tight windows. That's why it's safer just to use controller. 😅

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 18/01/2025

After a grueling grind for the final achievement in Oha Suta, I have officially Hardcore Mastered every DDR on the PS1. #retroachievements #retrogaming #rhythmgaming #ddr #dancedancerevolution

Hopefully, they will make more use of it than they did with the IR camera/sensor.

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 17/01/2025

GBA ports of SNES games were both made easier but also expanded upon with extra features not found in their original versions.

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 17/01/2025

Hey now, I'm still waiting on Super Mario 128. Don't be dragging in Mario Kart 128 just yet!

100

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 16/01/2025

I'm almost sure it's games like Ring Fit Adventure which require additional peripherals to be used that won't be compatible with Switch 2 joycons.

010

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 16/01/2025

It'll probably release April 2nd and blow up the entire community in excitement.

010

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 16/01/2025

Mind you, I'm not doubting a new console will be revealed on that date. I just highly doubt it's called the "Switch 2" and looks nothing more than a souped up Switch (and some casual new Mario Kart announcement?). Sure I could be wrong, but if I know Nintendo, they're really good at hiding things...

000

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 16/01/2025

So hear me out for a second...Nintendo Switch 2 trailer is out, and it's basically everything we've heard about it on social media. The most interesting bit is the Direct on April 2nd... April 2nd is after April Fools... Could Nintendo be fking with us right now and we saw a false made-up trailer?

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

It might be a DDR thing. It uses those buttons for controller, which should pretty much correspond to the notes of guitar hero with the exception of one extra note. Pump It Up uses all triggers on that game, with X being used as the center note.

010

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

You can't just use face buttons/d-pad and a trigger?

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

Reminds me of this remix of Tsugaru that I found many years ago that I can't simply stop listening to the moment I start. Really makes me wish it was an official song! www.youtube.com/watch?v=1d8J...

I luckily don't see it so often with my mutuals, but I also try to be careful in who I follow so as to limit my exposure to that stuff. I'm here to avoid it, not have it follow me! lol

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

You know what's going to happen next, right? The next Fortnite live event is going to be an in-game concert featuring Hatsune Miku and the rest of the Vocaloid gang. I'm calling it right now!

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

I can't be the only one that's seeing a kid Yamcha.

I have to say the dimples add that extra touch of cuteness to your cosplay!

110

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

I recently discovered the reason you see that stuff is because it's a post that has 50k+ likes. In turn, "this post is popular and you NEED to see it!" Isn't it strange the people that are diehard into that stuff get way more followers and interaction than us small fry nerds? Shame.

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 14/01/2025

They could have at least offered you a bigger TV so everyone could see where they were on screen. lol

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

I've been on a DDR push lately. I'll probably eventually finish all the PS1 titles soon (still have 3 more games) and then I've got one Game Boy, one N64, and one GameCube game before the mother load that is the PS2 games... #retroachievements #retrogaming #ddr #dancedancerevolution #rhythmgames

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

It's crazy that I'd much rather talk to someone face-to-face than....call them 🥶

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

Either way, it's all about having fun in the end!🎉

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

Shoutouts to Spring Yard's COPE! Can't wait to see the final product!

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

It's pretty sad considering it was the #1 "meme" game for quite a long while. I remember ALL the big content creators were playing it and even when co-op mode was released, people jumped back in on it. But ya know, TikTok brains and forgetting what you played after just 1 year. It happens. 😂

100

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

There are beginner friendly charts for all the songs of course. Never be afraid to try the game out for yourself! There's more beginners to the game than you realize. Of course there's a lot of experts as well, but those are the people that have been playing rhythm games for years!

010

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

Two-Mix got their big break from the anime Gundam Wing as quite a few of their songs were featured. These include Just Communication, Rhythm Emotion, and White Reflection (My personal favorites). A few other favorites of mine include: True Navigation Time Distortion Love Revolution 37°C 〜微熱戦記〜

000

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

Two-Mix will always be one of my top favorite duos. You can always tell its them just by the unique upbeat approach they bring to their music.

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

Project Sekai is probably one of the bigger ones that I'm surprised wasn't listed.

000

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

There's a lot of titles not listed here, but that just goes to show you how big the genre is, especially in the mobile department.

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 11/01/2025

Just be glad you're not trying to do this on the console version...that code is just a disgusting mess. lol

010

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

Ew, nvm then. I'd rather see them in places that care. lol

Gamingnerd @gamingnerd.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

Touhou and Vocaloid are on there
