I need someone smarter than me to figure out how to take those "choose your own adventure" YouTube series like A Heist with Markiplier and put them on the Sega CD. They're basically FMV games

I really hope Mega Man Dual Override has an optional 8-Bit soundtrack just for fun. I'm really surprised they never ended up doing that for 11

Separate my brain and teach one half to do hard stuff like taxes while the other remains blissfully unaware (but seriously though this sounds like a huge discovery if it holds true)

With games media imploding atm, I've been trying my best to get as many original features/news items on Time Extension as possible (reaching out to cool people/working with fantastic translators to contact Japanese devs). If you think that's something worth supporting, lend me your eyeballs!

I've seen a lot of debate on the Zelda remake adding a feature telling you where to go. Honestly I like the change. Not because I don't know where to go in the moment, but because I always would forget if I put the game down for longer than a few days lol

I still want to know if Nintendo is going to do anything with their "scroll wheel as shoulder buttons" patent. That had to be from when they were playing around with the Joycon mouse idea originally, right?

Ryan @retrorynn.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

I always think it'd be neat to own a random piece of game dev hardware. Even if it doesn't have anything on it, just a blank cart that was used back in the day for development stuff or something that was already dumped. Super cool for the history.

I still think it's absolutely criminal that we had to wait for homebrew devs to bring Virtual Boy games to 3DS. Literally the only system ever able to improve on the experience out the gate and they never made it happen themselves

This is actually ridiculous. I've seen this dev fighting for ages to stop some group that's been literally taking his game and reuploading it to HUGE storefronts claiming it's theirs. How on earth is this allowed?

I'm glad to see Dragon Hopper and Zero Racers finally out. After the leaks happened in 2020 and they weren't there, I was almost sure we'd never see D-Hopper again, and I honestly thought Zero Racers was just a tech demo till now lol. Love to see that Nintendo hangs on to unreleased stuff like this.

Every time I open social media I see someone with a new Pal that I didn't know existed. I feel like I've found them all but apparently I've only even seen less than half lol

Ryan @retrorynn.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

I've been playing Palworld now that it's in 1.0. When it first came out the whole "It's Pokemon but with guns and you can butcher them for resources!" really put me off it. Luckily, it seems like the butchering thing is a minor and optional part (as far as I can tell anyways)

For those that were wondering about the Wallpaper Engine Malware scare a while ago: store.steampowered.com/news/app/431... In short, they're removing the option for Application Wallpapers (the source of the problem) and the scale of the outbreak was overblown due to safeguards already in place.

Just saying, physical games were a godsend during the first while that I had the Switch 2. The micro sd express restriction meant I had to downgrade my storage size compared to the Switch 1. Luckily, the physical cards didn't take up space internally other than save data. Came in clutch

So, with the PS3 storefront going away, there's no way to purchase Sonic the Fighters now right? Other than Gems Collection of Gamecube of course.

Im seeing the folks that got their Steam Machines start sharing what they were able to get quality wise on their games, which is nice cause I feel like early reviewers all used the same games that I dont have so I had no point of reference. From what I read so far seems like a capable little machine

Kinda neat that if you play Area 6 with the new mouse aiming thing, it's basically that unused "Great Fox" mode from the original SF64's code.

I've seen some folks saying the new Star Fox doesnt communicate hits on bosses to the player well. I cant judge since Ive played 64 so many times it's instinct, but I let my brother play who's never touched it and he seemed to get it fine. A few "Am I hurting it?" before the bar showed but that's it

Ryan @retrorynn.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

Just to be clear, I'm a massive Star Fox fan and I'm enjoying the new game. Anything I nitpick is just cause 64 is maybe my favorite game ever, and I never say anything meant to disparage anyone who worked on ANY game. Ever. Devs, actors, artists are all amazing and have made more games than me lol

Another piece of evidence showing Miyu and Fay's sleeveless vests instead of jackets! At this point, I'm pretty certain the final artwork overlooked that detail since it was made 20 years later.

Is it just me, or is the xylophone sound when he turns red from Yooka-Laylee?

Ryan @retrorynn.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

Actually, now that I look, Fay may have had a sleeveless vest too! Her fur color is white so it's less noticeable, but there's a line on her pilot select and comms portrait that seems to indicate it. The end of her pilot select animation shows it pretty clearly. #starfox

The end of Fay's pilot select animation from Star Fox 2. Looking at her shoulder shows a clear line defining a sleeveless vest rather than a jacket.

Fay's artwork from Star Fox 2's box. She is wearing a normal jacket, red scarf, and purple gloves despite her in game sprites showing a sleeveless vest and white gloves (or possibly bare hands as her fur is also white). Her red scarf is correct, though her sprites indicate less of a scarf and more of a v-neck shirt of some kind.

Ryan @retrorynn.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

Something that seems to have been missed 20 years later in Star Fox 2; I think Miyu is meant to have a sleeveless or short sleeved vest rather than a jacket? Her pilot select picture seems to have no sleeves and it's not her seatbelts since those are in the same spot as Fay. #starfox

Slippy, Miyu, and Fay's pilot select sprites from Star Fox 2. Note that Miyu's fur color is seen after what seems to be short or missing sleeves on her vest.

Miyu's artwork from Star Fox 2's digital box art. This has her in a normal jacket rather than sleeveless.

Star Fox remake demo is very good. The graphics are great and the music is great. Still think I prefer the 3DS version at the moment, mainly due to the dialogue and the character designs. And they NEED the option to remap buttons! It plays much more naturally on the NSO 64 controller imo

Joke's aside, this clip right here is why I always tell people to play Star Fox 2's higher difficulties. Normal is the tutorial. Hard is the real game. At LEAST play that. Expert is exhilarating, just an absolute test both of your skills in the ship and your ability to think on the fly. It's peak.

So, I know this is to stop anyone other than select people with codes from getting the game early, but like... what if I just blow $2K on it? Can I actually buy the game?

The idea of Sonic Underground airing when Adventure had released is insane to me. For some reason that felt like it would have already been off the air by the time we had 3D Sonic around

If this is really the reason I'm extremely glad Nintendo went through it with the Wii U lol Not only did we get two super cool mini consoles AND other companies made their own minis but this might be the only reason we got Star Fox 2. Maybe wed get it later on Switch Classics but I'm really not sure
