Happy Anniversary to Final Fantasy X! πŸŽ‚πŸ₯³πŸŽ‰

Today in North America, it launched on the PlayStation 2 and changed RPGs forever. Spira. Blitzball. The Zanarkand intro. Tidus laughing through the pain. Yuna's quiet strength. A story that still hits hard.

Hironobu Sakaguchi, recently, on his X account, has been posting an absolute treasure trove of design docs and promotional materials from early games. These are early design docs from Final Fantasy 3.

Roughly this time next Sunday, the 2nd public play test build for my Game Boy RPG should go live! It'll be FREE for any and all to check out!

I'll post a link to it here on the time and day. I hope to see you there! πŸ‰

Oakland folks that may be facing food insecurity: the Town Fridge on Bartlett is totally full right now, and we just put some vegetarian meals in there. There's some meat stews and other stuff too.

Ive player both SFC Aretha games and while I enjoyed them, I really wish there was a hack that showed damage numbers in battle

The Video Game History Expansion Pack – Pitch your story Today I’m putting my money where my mouth is and launching a new project β€” a book focused on game history outside of the usual North American perspectives.

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...

It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.

Please share :)

Interesting paper! When you ask people about the most important issue "facing the country," they often say immigration. But when you ask them about issues facing them personally, it doesn't crack the top 10.

This indicates that voters are reacting to media narratives, not their own experience.

Playing Earthbound for the first time ever in 2025 is fascinating, actually. You're just a kid and the world's gone mad. All the adults are useless at best or trying to kill you at worst. Everyone talks like a crazy person. Everything's too expensive. Your next door neighbor wants to be a dictator.

I thought something seemed off about the the image posted below: it's a photo that's been edited and colorized by AI. Please don't do that.

Just read chapter 4 of Sapiens and wow.... I didn't expect to feel this shitty reading a history book while recovering from a twisted ankle. Maybe humans just need to take a little break and reflect...

There are many examples of that happening now and makes me feel that following gaming news is a waste of time that demands too much effort to cut through the noise and find actually interesting things.

I wish gaming sites and social media spent more energy covering older games or cool obscure games than covering new ports of repackaged rereleases of enhancement versions of games that were already released 10 times before on every single system...

We need people to test dev roms and make sure my shoddy programming doesn't break. The only requirements are that:

- you can run an NES emulator
- you've played (and loved!) the NES Dragon Warrior games
- you can spend some time with the test builds and report back on your experience

Send DM!

It's kinda like your game did more than just entertain that person for X hours and they moved on to something else.
