A broken, blue heart

A broken, blue heart

With a broken Blue Bomber heart, I am no longer the voice of Mega Man.

I was asked to return for Mega Man: Dual Override, but only on the condition I work without the protections of a union contract.

Honestly, even if LRG doesn’t dramatically improve, I’m just happy to see the old guy forced out. Even beyond his company sucking ass, *he* apparently sucked ass to work for

It is not often I am proud of the Sonic fanbase in the modern day, but effectively forcing out LRG’s sack of shit CEO through sheer fury is a beautiful moment in this fandom’s history

Finally bit the bullet and ordered a replacement GBC screen… after all that it’s not even a solder heavy install or anything lmao

Yeah, but to be honest I’m wondering if it’s even proper flux - it’s more like a Vaseline-esque paste than the liquid-y looking stuff I see in videos. I was having a lot of issues dissolving solder to remove stuff too, but I just wasn’t lifting up the components enough - my solder sucker sucks tho

Yeah, I’d definitely say so. I just follow some guides roughly and so far I’ve been able to fix the batteries in my GC and two GB games without any issues. I do have a tiny bit of previous soldering experience, but that was high school 15 years ago

So far I’m having trouble getting my solder to look clean and blobby, it does come out looking a bit rough… might just be using a shit iron/solder, but at least it works

Ayyy, my copy of PokΓ©mon Silver lives once again

GameCube battery replacement was a success! And just as I finished it, my SD2SP2 showed up too, handy stuff

Alright, batteries showed up, time to fix my GameCube

Everyone pray for me that I don’t somehow botch this

NetEase to Stop Funding Nagoshi Studio as It Cuts Back on Gaming NetEase Inc. will cut off funding to the studio led by Yakuza franchise creator Toshihiro Nagoshi, the latest to be affected by the Chinese company’s broader strategy to shrink game development activi...

Via Bloomberg: NetEase are cutting Nagoshi Studio’s funding in May, after learning Gang of Dragon would still require another $44 million to finish

As it stands it’s unlikely the game will actually get released

Commission time!

It's Haruka (765Pro) and Touma (Jupiter)! My SideM knowledge is extremely limited so it was fun to branch out a bit. Many thanks to the client for understanding my need to litter any and all im@s art I draw with Namco nods #TTDArt

Soldering kit arrived today! I think I’ll try something simple like a GB cartridge battery replacement tomorrow, then I’ll finally replace my damn GameCube battery…

Another one of these... keeping this down to 9 was hard.

Decided on only one Sonic game to keep things balanced, and having to trim Pac-Land and Daytona 2 broke my heart...
but still, I feel this is a representative selection of my favourite stuff.

We want to share an important update regarding the next Sonic Con UK. Unfortunately, there will not be a Sonic Con UK in 2026.

Work gave me like Β£30 in Amazon credit for resisting the urge to tear customers limb from limb or something, so I could pick up a basic soldering starter kit for basically free... hm

On the verge of finally buying a soldering iron, because I'm tired of my Gamecube complaining about its battery

This is the best kind of site - a lovely deep-dive into a game that'll make you care immensely about it, even if you've never played the game in question!

Check it out!

I almost gave CD the nod over Mania! I've definitely played CD a lot in recent years, and it's very much my comfort game - but Mania is just so ridiculously good and a very special game

SA1 would've been my 3D pick

For Ridge Racer, I was stuck between R4, RR6 and RR2 PSP. I gave the nod to 2PSP since it's essentially a 'best of' - I'm one of the few Ridge Racer fans who loves the nitrous stuff in the later games

Fighting Vipers 2 is another that barely missed out, or even the original

Had a quick read through while grabbing some lunch… I can’t believe this comic caused such a firestorm on the other site (just from the previews…), it was a very fun read

Lots of lovely art on display too, I enjoy it when they do these issues that jump between artists as the setting changes

New Sonic comic day! I do love me some Crossworlds so I figured I should grab this one. Surprised I found the RI cover so easily!

Speak of the devil: SEGA's published March's Crossworlds calendar for March, with a *mystery* festival.

Mega Man? The next free character? Who knows!?
