oh can I make this count as my #RandomGameSaturday?
New blog post about the rarest video game that I will probably ever own.
I should become a UI designer someday because I'm a firm believer in the idea that if an option makes sense for it to be in multiple places then it should just be in multiple places and I don't think I've ever encountered a UI that actually does that.
While you're here, I would appreciate it if you looked over my old posts, as they've all been updated at least a little bit :3
I've upgraded my blog! now it lives under my custom domain seerofthe.net. I also finally figured out how to make pages actually have a preview image for when I link them here!
hot take maybe but as long as we live under capitalism I am VERY pro-knockoff (as long as it doesn't involve literal plagiarism). what's the matter capitalists, afraid of a little free market?
this sounds fantastic. honestly I've pretty consistantly had issues with the touchscreen across both smartphones I've owned, which is why I'm interested in alternative methods of input
Episode 1 (Panzer Dragoon, Saturn-PS2, Sega Team Andromeda, 1995)
it's not like unique smartphones don't exist, but it's mostly in the form of it being foldable in some way.
there's a company making a phone with a keyboard and the fact that that alone is like "holy shit! how innovative!" speaks to how sad the state of affairs is
Is there a term for like, enshittificatiom that takes place in the form of industry homogenization that removes options from users
I feel like smartphones are the perfect encapsulation of that.
The concept art for Wipeout 2048 by Darren Douglas is something else
How do you define retro? Interesting: GOG is defining "retro" from a marketing angle. Specifically, it's a game where nostalgia can be part of its marketing, even if it's only ~10 years old #GDC2026
one time my touchscreen stopped accepting inputs at all and I had to find a computer and google how to force reset it because of course "just hold down the power button" didn't work.
I actually literally just thought of that, you're right.
add a flip out keyboard and you've got the best phone that ever existed

honestly not owning the Quake II remaster on steam has been the hardest part of the Microsoft/Xbox boycott for me. If only they didn't own id Software :\
just made a correction to this article! I completely missed that Nightdive's remaster of Quake II includes Quake II 64 (thanks @shadowhog.bsky.social)
Hi, thank you, I did not actually know this! I will update the article to reflect this.
hyperspecific video about minecraft where the youtuber feels the need to waste several minutes describing what minecraft is in case you somehow hadnt heard of it
Emil’s body hits the wood, their chin knocked sharp against their skull. Their head is ringing. But they’re quick on the defense: an upward swing, a kick with both legs. A direct hit with the latter sends the shadow scrabbling against crates labeled with older years. The shadow assumed their target clumsier, and was right: but a worse fighter, hardly. Emil has years of combat experience on this stranger, which is clear even as they had to improvise rising to their feet. The atmosphere in here is oppressive, the beat of both hearts as one, heavy breathing. Emil almost wants to shout out, to call for a parley; but before they can say a syllable, the shadow is rising to their feet, crying out furious. A survivor.
Book 1, Chapter 3: "Creak", has been released!

if you're a sicko retro youtuber seeing this you should go ahead and do it
I originally envisioned this silly blog post idea as a youtube video. Unfortunately, I'm not the kind of person who really has any sort of charismatic presence to make youtube work for me. I do think this could use a proper video where someone buys and reviews all the games though.
New blog post, in which I figure out every single Nintendo 64 game you can purchase on Steam, for some reason.
Just putting this out there...
For big companies it's really not even really expensive for them to make a project union.
It's more about agreeing to protection terms for workers and actors that they're avoiding. Not cost.
I had a realization that California is to the rest of the United States the way the United States is to the rest of the world.
In that everything somehow revolves around what goes on in California even if you're on the other side of the country.
