Mankind knew that they cannot change society. So instead of reflecting on themselves, they blamed immigrants and trans people. Heaven or Hell Duel 1 LET'S ROCK!

It's always lesbian day when you're into anime. Anyway, watch Love Live.

"I love you" one of them says.

I'm also on PC, but I have a 12 year old slightly defective screenless drawing tablet that I use...

Michirin @michirin.bsky.social · 20h

And since I had that extra Pro license sitting around doing nothing, I activated it on my old Win7 PC as a backup, and I can use them both forever!

In my opinion, CSP is WAAAAY More Intuitive and easier to use than Krita... But I bought the Pro version thinking I could do animation on it, nope, can't do that, so I ended up double-dipping and buying EX so I could do it, and... I've yet to publish any hand-drawn animations >w>';

I thought us Millennials had killed nightlife a decade ago...

It also left me wanting an anime about cute girls playing rhythm games... Wouldn't THAT Be Cool?! That said, if this show Really Was made Specifically For Me, the girls would be at least a decade older, they'd be playing Asuka 120% or Arcana Heart, and the OP would be electronic instead of rock...

Just finished watching Young Ladies don't play Fighting Games. It was Really Fun! It felt like it was made *Specifically For Me* (aside from all the random blood) and I was Lapping It All Up!! I want more of it now... May have to seek out the manga...

I’m not technically a cis man, but I am thought of as one to most people outside of queer communities, and I do this whenever I can. It really does work. If you get pushback, just ask the person to explain why they think the joke is funny. It works. It’s easy. Please do this.

Imma have to like... Go on a job hunt when I'm finally something resembling recovered again... I wonder if the local arcade hires autistic queer women with a game design degree...

I'm shocked I live in a world where Arcana Heart 3 got rollback before USF4...

Well, thank goodness PSP emulation was already in such a good place... Shame it turned out like this...

I just wanted this image to exist.

Low effort edit I made of E-Honda from Street Fighter 2 using his Hundred Hand Slap move on the Maimai arcade machine.

I don't mean to like, advertise my suffering, but let's just say I won the illness lottery this year, and if I didn't have access to "free"(*) public healthcare I might not be here right now... But also, damn, this past month has been the worst of my life... Just to put it out there...

I was always perplexed by all the rebrands, but then again, I got into Bomberman with the Super Nintendo games, not the computer ports... And also, I wasn't born yet, when I was first playing the games they were already almost a decade old...

Here we go, a MUCH more reasonable take on the mess AI grifters are making out of the retro gaming scene, and also a few examples of legitimate recomp projects that are actually worth playing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uw9p...

Recomps and Decomps have taken over retro gaming...

"Play ALL The Recomps" No thanks, I'll just keep on emulating the originals like always. As for fan-translations, frankly, I'm already learning Japanese anyway, so I'll just cut off the middle-man...

The attitude of simply playing everything available to you, regardless of how it was produced or whether it’s even accurate to the real experience, is driving us up the fucking wall. Mindless, uncritical consumption is how we get Palmer Luckey releasing Game Boys built with murder drone parts.

Israel wiped Gaza from the face of the earth. Everyone knew exactly what they were doing! A crime more confessed to as it happened than any other in history. A crime more documented as it happened than any other in history. There are no excuses. None at all

2D games never REALLY stopped being made, like, the GBA existed, low-budget 2D PC games kept being made, Flash games were a whole thing, 2D fighting games found a niche and managed to survive that entire time, and then mobile games happened, many of which were entirely 2D, and I could keep going...

Game Boy: "Am I a joke to you?" I've always found that most of the games media can have a pretty narrow view of what a video game can or should be like... Everyone and their mums talks about how 2D games "died in the late 90s" but I was playing 2D games that entire time, I preferred them in fact...

The latter then, I assume... Uhh... Flighting games lol

Umm... Which Touhou vs games? The first two-ish, or the one where the characters just fly around everywhere? (Also, unsure if they made more Touhou fighters since I last checked in 2014)

I've lost count of how many people I've unfollowed or stopped watching on YT recently over AI nonsense... Even a game engine I was looking forward to development on, I spotted Claude on their github commits and just felt a black hole in my stomach...

Castlevania The Adventure Rebirth: Battle Of The Holy (UNUSED)

But I also gotta shout-out the Wiiware Exclusive, Castlevania The Adventure Rebirth by M2, it's legit one of the best games on the entire Wii, and HOLY MOTHER OF SOUNDTRACKS it's gotta be one of the best-sounding games in the series! It's an Absolute Must Play! Get it any way you can ;3

My first one is Castlevania Vampire's Kiss on Super Nintendo, AKA Dracula X, or the "worse version of Rondo of Blood" (even though they're completely different games) I beat it for the first time last year, 21 years after first playing it, and I still hold it in VERY High regard today!

It's the PAL version of Dracula X on Super Nintendo.

Finally played Muse Dash, it was on sale for a totally unfair price... I like it! I'll get the DLC later, when I have some cash to spare...
