I had no idea that Straczynski's childhood was so fucked up it makes Dickens novels look like fun escapism. www.npr.org/2019/07/23/7...

'Becoming Superman' Chronicles The Life And Career Of J. Michael Straczynski
While the prolific Hollywood writer's career is well-documented, his personal history has been a mystery. His memoir is painful and inspiring, infuriating and full of hope, humorous and depressing.

Hyper 3D Taisen Battle Gebockers (Saturn) (1996) 1/2
Swindled by the promise of 3D in the title and the lack of any attention span, it turned out the game doesn't really have any 3D polygons, just the VDP2 rendered ground plane like this icy floor made out of frozen blocks and shallow water, with 2D sprites for pillars and the characters themselves, the aforementioned Gebockers.

This is a Virtual-On style arena 1v1 shooter between cute little rocket robots with boosters on their butts, floating Rayman hands (I'm on a roll with those lately) and round heads with googly eyes, with the current battle introducing Pal, a blue Gebocker (I'm just assuming the characters are called Gebockers since I don't know the lore, it's all in Japanese and very little can be found online) with a red V on his forehead like some kinda Gundam fella. He's currently fighting Fisher, an almost Minion looking robo with a big exhaust for a mouth and goggles (hence the Minions), rushing around like he's gonna gobble someone up.Dontin is a yellow rocket-shaped thing with short brown hair, googly eyes and a big red smoochy mouth (no visible here), throwing exploding walnuts at a purple monk robot with a cane called Mugen as they zoom around a weird and endless pink horizon with blobs, tendrils and spikes, all gooey and pink, while a pink mountain range with tall neuron-trees rise into the purple skies.An endless ocean with a small arena surrounded by flat orange buoys, enclosing a wavy area with some gray shells and rocks as the pink sexy robot Ray is all electrified, shooting green photon torpedoes at Ein, a gray robot in a sort of floating chair with two guns in front, looking surprised with his googly eyes, either because he's witnessing the endless watery horizon under the orange and purple aurora skies or he just realized he's a floating sentient robot built to kill. Either way, lots to ponder on.Rocketbot Kid, a cowboy with a big hat and a sheriff badge, rootin', tootin' and shootin' his akimbo guns across the desert sands past some yellow rocks as the feline looking Catty, with her big eyes, green hair and cat ears, doing a swooshing side dodge and leaving a trail of semi-transparent Cattys in her wake.

A finished English translation of the PC-98 version was released over a decade ago now with a pre-patched FDI image linked. I gave it a solid bash earlier in the year after first coming across it. It's an old-school early Wizardry style Japanese dungeon crawler, and def recommend checking it out.

I tried to recreate this effect in #GodotEngine a few months back, by rendering a viewport to a texture then adding the texture to a spotlight. Might use it for an options screen or something.

I've heard the argument that video games need to "rebrand" like when comics started calling themselves graphic novels, but I can't think of anything that doesn't sound awful and pretentious like "Interactive Experience."

An adventure of an android child guided by a fairy. It's up to you to guide him on his way in this game that feels like a mix of a point 'n' click adventure and a Creatures-like life sim. All in 16 Nintendo bits and with a wonderful whimsical art style. 📺: Wonder Project J, Super Famicom, 1994

Aggressiion, attack, defence, leg power, expression, kindness, feeling, confidence are just a handful.A gameplay screenie showing the side-view sprite point and click gameplay with a steampunk interface and the android child, default name PinoThe cover for Wonder Project J with a Ghibli-esque boy and village and green cliffs behind.

People don't seem to talk about Coppola's Dracula much and I wonder if that's solely because of Keanu's acting in that film. Seriously, it's so bad I'm surprised it didn't nuke his career. It's like the horror film equivalent of a stain on the Mona Lisa. youtu.be/moaW8LRusak?...

I think I dabbled with fighting game development in the past (MUGEN, Beats of Rage) and found it difficult. Maybe my game would be a "realistic platformer" like Flashback, but with a Guardian Heroes-adjacent visual style, not sure.

JM93 @jm93.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Same, I emulated Guardian Heroes earlier and I love the sprites and 90s anime vibe, but I felt like I was stumbling through it lol. I wish they'd re-release the HD version they made for Xbox Live with the widescreen resolution and stuff.

"Wtf am I looking at?" You may ask. Well clearly it's a robot with a shotgun, a bug-eyed cat dressed as Corto Maltese, and the grotesque sculpture from Warlock: The Armageddon standing together in a dark room with floating planets. IT'S SO OBVIOUS!
