Myself and (I’m sure) many others would love to fly around this.

On the neck board there is a connector you can remove to disable the blur function.

I naively hoped the Encore series could gauge a new Klonoa or Mr Driller, but at least the recent Project Aces interview suggests AC8 is in the works.

Games are not tech and yet the great people who make them have been owned by Big Tech and are now being discarded en masse, because according to C-suits, tech can replace what they do. It’s a gross miscalculation. Games are art, games need soul. The more we lose talent, the more we’ll lose players.

More established franchises should try an omake structure a la Kirby Super Star. Collection of short campaigns that play with established conventions and structure.

Is this a prototype board?

As someone directly involved in Atomfall’s narrative/LD, I take that as high praise!

Look, I understand the console has a black and white screen, but has anyone just tried sending Jeff Minter the Playdate SDK and seeing what happens?

Atomfall is out! I have absolutely nothing to say about its release. Look at my bloodied cricket bat instead.

I never imagined that SNK would attempt to capture the immaculate mechanics and vibes of Garou, but CotW has it in spades.

The Outrun/Darius game structure is criminally underused. Seems like a perfect fit for any short burst gameplay session that allows for player-driven difficulty selection at any skill level.

And I feel the same about chess terms. We yearn to put players in interesting situations like Zugzwang, but lack the vocab

Hustling - Wikipedia

The Wikipedia page for pool hustling has a trove of terms that deserve to make their way into competitive game design and play.

As someone now living in a PAL territory who wants to play their NTSC-U games, I've learned you can region unlock PS2s entirely through software, as long as it's not one of the early models youtu.be/BzKVcpjugCE?...

Incredible work. Fingers crossed that 3 and 4 get the same treatment as well.
