NiGHTS was also quite progressive for 1996 as both NiGHTS & Reala are gender neutral characters
"Men or women, we all have dreams, so I thought the residents in the dream world shouldnโt have a gender, rather, the form of the characters should be determined by the person who is dreaming" -Yuji Naka
Easily one of the most unique and charming games Sega put out. A shame they delisted the remaster for no apparent reason.

Various island maps and stages from video games from the 90s and 00s. Beaches, trees, blue ocean, blue skies, and sunshine
Island aesthetic in retro video games from the 90s and 00s is unmatched for me.
Just pure, perfect vibes. ๐๏ธโ๏ธ
Anecdotally speaking, one of my female cousins is married to a man and has two very young kids. Another is a lesbian who has brought her girlfriend to family gatherings. Not once was "that conversation" brought up to my recollection.
They just casually appeared in the same room, kids included.

Video games are important.
Theyโre art, stories, music, challenge, and connection.
They let us explore worlds weโd never see and feel things we might never experience otherwise.
Theyโre one of the only art forms where the story happens with you, not just in front of you ๐
Still one of the best old style Castlevanias, with a haunting atmosphere and one of the best soundtracks in the whole series.
bsky.app/profile/ries... thanks for the space
โSnake, don't worry about it. There's more to being a good person than just having a stereo television. You can do it just the way you are!โ
A pep talk for those with 14" portable CRTs and a mono speaker.
Shaak Ti says: "Poor boy. The Sith always betray one another. But I'm sure you'll learn that soon enough."
This line from Shaak Ti in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed always resonated with me. There's no honor among thieves after all. Always important to pay attention to the character of who you associate with.
THE TIME HAS COME
Ah, yes, the game where Mario whipped candles and ate wall 'shrooms. The red skeletons were reskinned into Dry Bones too.
Grammar and punctuation is important, kids

How i feel when someone blocks me:
The "no games" meme can finally die.
An ad for Neo Geo Pocket Colour with a guy with a stern expression on his face gazing at the reader. A photo of an NGPC is overlaid in a corner in front of him. GAME over, BOY. "The world's new dimension in handheld gaming."

Okay, I see where my friend is coming from. As dire as the situation is, there's WAY too much doomerism on my TL.
Step back from social media for a bit, take time to collect your thoughts, and come back whenever you're ready. It's easier to figure out what to do next when your mind is clear.
Sega has further refined role playing games... Phantasy Star!"
Signing off for the night with a Japanese commercial for the OG Phantasy Star. 4 Megabit plus FM Sound ๐ฅ

I swear certain so-called "gamers" don't actually play video games.
Life is easier when you focus on the things you love instead of the things you hate.
If you know, you know.
This game's animation (both the intro and the fighters' sprites) still hold up remarkably to this day. This and Last Blade.
But the specific way age assurance works (the verification methods, the compliance requirements) is being shaped by legislation already in effect in the UK and Australia, with Brazil quick to follow, and Europe and multiple US states close behind. By building this ourselves, we can show regulators that it's possible to verify age without collecting identity.
This is exactly why it's a "delay" instead of a complete revert: cause at the end of the day, they still have to bend over for legislation
