- Been gathering up Virtual Boy games for a lil VB-kai in the office next week before the NSO thing drops on 2/17
- Nice of this to show up the day after they announce support for the official N64 NSO controllers. Analogue really testing my loyalty with all the terrible timing on 3D-related things lol

- This is so gd hot - I was hoping for unreleased games and here we are
- Reposted by John RicciardiICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

- Reposted by John RicciardiHello! Would you like a long, distracting read about chasing a dream, perfecting analog video, battling AI-driven manufacturing shortages, and sticking to the principle of doing right by the open source MiSTer community? Here's that
- Reposted by John RicciardiI started making games at age 48, and finally finished and released one late last year. I think it's a fun action game, but it hasn't reached the point where many people have noticed it yet. I'd be really happy if you could help spread the word! #10dash #steam store.steampowered.com/app/3322940/
- Gonna eventually turn this into my ultimate rec room but for now, slowly adding the necessary pieces

- Took FF7R for a spin on Switch 2, and man, the opening is still so compelling. Loved Remake and Rebirth (quiet, haters!!) and hope we get some news on the final chapter this year 🖤

- Reposted by John RicciardiYou cannot overstate how startling it is to see a politician just say the thing with clarity and poise. No fearful hemming. No overwrought qualifying down til it’s meaningless. No lingering sense that there is a loyalty to a donor class or an ideology of stasis that they’d never admit to.
- Reposted by John RicciardiHow hard is it to make a good detective video game? The story behind the excellent The Seance of Blake Manor, whose developers were changing integral parts of the design six months before release, might help answer that question.

- HBD to the GOAT
- This made me want to give NES Ninja Gaiden III another shot. I loved the first two games but III came out the same month as the SNES so it took a back seat to SMW and F-Zero. When I got around to playing it, the story seemed way less interesting than II, so I wrote it off…but gameplay looks solid? 🥷
- IDK, maybe I should re-roll…
- Can’t remember who it was but someone somewhere recommended Dragon Ruins as a simple / fun classic-style dungeon crawler and I finally tried it today and I love it haha. Strips away the barriers and complexity but keeps some of the simple hooks that made games like Wizardry so appealing. Diggin’ it
