Remember that time when I played through all of Metal Gear Solid in Japanese? You don't? Ah, maybe you should head over to my Youtube channel then, it was a trip. But meanwhile enjoy a picture of some strategically placed action figures as well as a memory card with MGS stickers from Japan.

Jeff out here doing the work of the gaming gods. My 1988 Mega Drive came in from Japan with some janky video output issues, and he got her patched up and running like brand new hardware. Domo arigato, Jeff-san.

This behemoth of a video was a major production for me, however I am quite pleased with the results. A massive super tribute to Daytona USA intersected my variety talk show, Retro Lunacy 2019, and with their powers combined we got "Save the Daytona!" youtu.be/H5Vruub-EN8 #daytonausa #rollingstart

The Dreamcast's true birthday is its Japanese launch, but even so it is 9/9, so make sure you hug the nearest Dreamcast and give it a play.

(1/2)It has now been two years since I began my Youtube channel. Weirdly, year one was way more successful in terms of viewership and growth. Getting shadowblocked on the algorithm is no joke. Year three will be a lot different. After a break I'm trying different kinds of videos...

To those of you outside the United States, don't get complacent or allow what is going on here to ever settle into "the new normal." Keep boycotting us, stop doing business with American companies when you can, tear down the notion that the world revolves around America. All empires must end.

The most fictional thing about Independence Day is not an alien invasion, city-destroying spaceships, or Goldblum viruses, but a United States led by someone with compassion, empathy, who can take a joke at their expense and is brave enough to fight with those whom they lead. Total. Fiction.

I refuse to celebrate the United States today; its birthday can get right in the bin. I am ashamed to live here, whatever was once worth being proud of has been trampled by those leading the US government and guiding its zeitgeist.

Even as I finish my project of deleting my other legacy social media accounts and profiles I had on various misc websites, I still run afoul of people I once respected or listened to to some extent, fully unmasking their bigotry for the world. It fills me with disgusted rage.

Cisgender, heterosexual people's opinion on Pride Month, well, they're allowed to have one, but it is worth less than the clearance bin at a homogenous supermarket. If they are conservative then the opinion is worth as much as the discontinued penny.

Full power Mega Drive tracks, over footage from my final SEGA Saturn variety stream (Pride Month 2025). The quality was too low to use as a proper episode, but regardless I'm grateful for the memory and for the raids/visits by @gtothenextlevel.com and @hystericmoon.bsky.social youtu.be/8FHUMw7KXUk

Trying out a Bandai-Namco game after forgetting about the fiasco I had with Tekken 7... having to agree to an abusive, one-sided lease contract (a rental agreement in so many words) to play a single player game offline is absurd. How'd we let it get here? And people wonder why retro has such appeal.

People writing or those voting in favor of legislation to "protect kids" with age verification and other measures are 30 years too late to stop the damage the internet can cause to a whole generation. If lawmakers are only just now catching up to 1996, what else are they behind on? Hmmm...

I know this wrecks some people's minds, but all video game consoles are computers. The PC vs. console debate was always moronic. Preferences either way are valid, but I do think a big swath of the PC community refuses to get why some of us only see these PCs as tools, not a place to be for fun.

If anyone ports the Sonic Triple Trouble 16-bit or 2D Blast fan projects to Mega Drive or Dreamcast, let me know. I was interested but playing them on a home computer is a hard pass.

The Super Mario Galaxy movie is great! I am willing to admit that Nintendo is doing better by Mario theatrically than SEGA is with Sonic. It doesn't need to be some deep, meaningful avant garde film festival tosh, it's okay for a movie to be lighthearted, silly, and *gasp* fun.

"Save your kids from playing Fortnite, play Streets of Rage 3 with them instead." Mark said it eight years ago (or fifty-nine years from now, whichever), and sadly it's still necessary advice.

I suppose I should thank people for putting terms like "TAS" and "any%" in their video titles, it's like a free filter to tell me what garbage isn't worth watching.

Even if Grand Theft Auto: Vice City weren't over twenty years old, I'd still call it retro. After all, the notion of Rockstar delivering a complete GTA game to the public is an old fashioned idea.

Ten years ago, when I started my serious novel writing journey, I leaned heavily into working while listening to synthwave mixes. Not only is finding those old mixes now a chore, but I have to question every. single. music video. I come across as to whether it's ai slop garbage. The future sucks.
