i cant imagine being anti-emulation, like soooooo so many games would have already been fully lost to the passage of time if we didnt have emulation and the people that preserve all of these games and systems for it!! 90% of my favorite games would be like fully unavailable to me lmao

My tiny little YT channel is officially two years old! 🥳 I think this calls for a celebratory cup of tea and a sweet treat! Chocolate cake definitely wouldn't go amiss, but maybe I'll make brownies instead... 😋 What's your dessert of choice?

One of the comments on my PowerPoint game mentioned creating a game with HTML/JS... I am incredibly tempted by the idea.

When I was younger, I used to create little text adventures in PowerPoint. I completely forgot I used to do this until the other week. I remember how to do it! And I've put together a guide so you can make one too: gamingcompanion.substack.com/p/creating-a...

A brown bear from the game Vintage Story, it looks very cute and fluffy.

Rowan @rowanisgaming.bsky.social · 01/04/2026

They should just rename Vintage Story "the bear jumpscare game" at this point

YouTube really needs to decide how it feels about live streaming. It would be great if it offered half the functionality of Twitch. Like proper raids, or even a better clip function would be a start.

It's funny how before gen ai we never used to see placeholder assets left in released games. It's almost like the gen ai stuff isn't actually placeholder and these devs just hoped no one would notice or care....

Every AI "prototype" I have seen looks like a full-scale render — why? Surely it's harder to create something unique from something that looks "finished." "It's just a placeholder! It will be replaced!" I don't believe replacing it is ever the intention, it's just a post-discovery excuse.

You do not need AI to protoype anything in video games. You do not need AI for placeholders in video games. This is a flat lie.

I’ve been playing a lot of #pokopia and I had the idea of drawing myself as a Ditto because it seemed like a fun idea. BOY WAS I RIGHT!! Look at that, it just makes me giggle so much!! #Art #SelfPortrait #DigitalArt #Gaming #Cute

Digital illustration: a self portrait of me as a ditto, in the style of Pokopia. The character is sitting on a block of dirt covered with grass and a couple of flowers. His right arm flopped to the side, his left arm held up, a Rowlet chilling on a finger. The character is looking up at the bird Pokémon, a super deeply look on his face. He is wearing a pink shirt with white flowers and white bottoms featuring ditto faces, his hair is blonde, with a mullet hairstyle.

Maybe I'm just getting braver, but my latest attempt at R.E.P.O (after several months not playing) was nowhere near as scary as the first.

Sonic in the first Sonic Adventure was a bit of a jerk. (especially to Tails, after witnessing his bad crash landing: "What are we going to do with you, Tails?" 🤨) Poor fella seems utterly bamboozled in Adventure 2 in comparison.
