New Secret Area Entry: We talk about them Mountain Dew Game Fuel flavors.
After a brief hiatus, they brought them back. In typical fashion, I decided to go back to the well once more.
And yes, the master chief is in the soda.

New Secret Area post: It's Blood of the Werewolf.
There haven't been very many great werewolf video games out there. Does this game break that curse?

Hey, remember when I was talking about wanting a cat fursona?
Well, thanks to a picrew, and a friend who was willing to help, it's now a reality.

HOVER.ICO - Transport, Paths &

Reading Major Dudes: A Steely Dan Companion got me to give their 2000 album Two Against Nature another try.
It's not anywhere near the classics like Pretzel Logic and Aja, but it's definitely a solid Steely Dan Record.
dang seasonal depression kinda sucks

video games were invented in 1975 by video kojima when he tried to make a movie and accidentally added buttons

the reason you think tv was better in the 90s is that because of the way it was distributed weekly along with other programming in a non-on-demand medium they were developed episodically meaning you could miss an episode and pick back up on the next without missing a beat but today entire seasons are made to be binged in a single night like one big long movie instead so you can't pick and choose episodes anymore you only have the big overarching plot rather than a beginning and an end

i'm trying to think of ways that i can play ds games and stream them while still being able to play them with the original controls. best i've come up with is using an emulator on PC and something that streams the emulator video to the DS and the touch and buttons back to the emulator but nobody seems to have made that yet. does anyone know of anything else like that
y'all heard about game show music?
it's good

I am feeling called out by the top half of this @actuallyautistic
After spending countless months, frustration and grinding without spending any cash, I beat the last campaign level of Mighty Doom.
It's a mobile-ass mobile game, with the typical system of buying premium currency and battle passes.
It's not really worth playing.

I have some good advice for folks on this here world wide web:
It's better to have your stuff on a personal website or blog, than only using someone else's site as the place to post your work.
Cause you never know when that site's gonna disappear. And we always need backups and mirrors.
midnight thoughts:
I try my best to remember something from a game I've played. An exciting moment, a good tune, a funny bug.
If I can't really think a specific moment and only go through the broad strokes, then the game was forgettable to me.
Which is kind of a bummer tbh
computer/controller gripes
For a while I wanted to use my 360 pad's guide button as a screenshot button, so I didn't have to take my hand off the controller.
While Steam was running, it would move the mouse cursor down. Turning off some controller settings fixed this, but then the button would activate Steam's Big Picture Mode.
After fixing *that*, with the help of AntiMicroX, I can now use the guide button to take screenshots with ShareX by hitting Print Screen.
This was quite an ordeal!

you know that quote that's often (erroneously) attributed to Shigeru Miyamoto -- "a late game is late until it releases, a rushed game is bad forever"?
well. turns out a trans woman game dev was the one who said it. huh.
