Another bomb from the AVE archives: a Xiao Ma Li evaluation sample crediting C&E, and from 1989! 🤯 Unsurprisingly, AVE rejected the game. Can't blame them for that.

DavidPCM / Demi! @davidpcm.bsky.social · 5h

Illustration of Demi (one of my sonas, a scary-lookin' girl with a Pittsburgh Pirates cap with ripped brim, black t-shirt, striped arm warmers, and spiked bracelets) scaring the viewer. Her hair is pointier than usual. She has her mouth agape to show her tongue and sharp teeth. She yells "BAH!! FEAR ME, MOTHERFUCKER!!!".

This piece started out as some very basic free-form doodling, but eventually ended up with some parallel hatching to shade various parts at different intensities.

lovely machines really. i love how the paper advance motor always works and never seizes up and doesn't do so on three separate checkstands in the same day

yeah we use the version with that function. it's so seldom used nowadays that in my 3 months as a cashier i never once had to do so, but every so often i find bits of paper jammed in the feeder

bro fuck the toshiba 6145 series it is insulting and embarrassing that they consider these pieces of shit a successor to the venerable ibm 4610

i only ever show this tv from one camera angle because it is shoved in the corner and there is a royal mess around it

power player viira @pirategamething.com · 28/09/2026

i also remembered yesterday that this thing does in fact have hdmi output and ran one of those 15ft hdmi cables that i bought along with the cam link. now i can easily play this thing without shoving myself into my little tv corner

i really oughtta get a retrotink of some sort at some point. i know it won't pull miracles when it comes to composite but i would like to get at least marginally better footage than my shitty av2hdmi upscaler

power player viira @pirategamething.com · 28/09/2026

life would be so much easier if my trinitron had s-video but it'll only do rf, composite or component. i know we got rid of a couple CRTs that *did* have s-video back in the tragic crt purge

power player viira @pirategamething.com · 28/09/2026

i understand why people get obsessed with rgb modding all of their consoles because playing games i've only played in composite or emulated feels magical on my mister over component

currently i can't do both AV/HDMI capture and camera capture simultaneously because the camera gets plugged into my XR1 Lite capture card

power player viira @pirategamething.com · 26/09/2026

i ordered an elgato cam link so maybe i can do more with that overhead camera setup

power player viira @pirategamething.com · 26/09/2026

that last bit is definitely a large contributor to why i tend to not care for these projects lol. by their own merits they're neat for sure!

150

power player viira @pirategamething.com · 26/09/2026

and people tend to be so. annoying. about. these. YES i know an improvement hack exists but i am(/was/whatever) a youtuber who talks about the original versions and the improvements aren't *so* important to the game's legacy that they demand a mention

140

power player viira @pirategamething.com · 26/09/2026

i'd rather just play the actual original game if i don't want the bootleg jank

power player viira @pirategamething.com · 26/09/2026

sonic nes improvement just kinda goes buck wild. on one hand, it's neat! on the other? once they start stripping away the original identity and aim for the goal of "port of original game, but on nes", the flaws that can't be ironed out become more obvious.

130

power player viira @pirategamething.com · 26/09/2026

let me preface this by saying: i recognize that these are fan projects made purely for fun and nothing i say should detract from this BUT i personally don't have too much interest in such 'improvement' hacks. they often feel like they don't have an identity

power player viira @pirategamething.com · 26/09/2026

oh i certainly have Thoughts about these

power player viira @pirategamething.com · 25/09/2026

i even have a different dev branch from march where i hardly made any progress. all i did was separate the product page into a component (which i ended up doing again for the final version)

The modal popups were like the main thing missing from the old pory-based frontend and it was so trivial to add that I feel kind of silly that I hadn't landed on this solution sooner LMAO

power player viira @pirategamething.com · 25/09/2026

Just dropped a new Unauthorizon frontend update that includes: - Modal popups for smoother and quicker browsing - 'Fuzzy searching', which removes spaces and special characters to increase the chance of finding what you're looking for (Products only) - General reduced jankiness unauthorizon.org

Search screenshot demonstrating that the search term "z-dog" still returns the entry for "ZDog", where this would previously not return anything
