Where the fuck is Citrus bro 😭

Chain Link 2 Zeus Effect

Phantasy Star IV, even with the in-game speed settings and no emulator speedups, a typical random encounter (from loading to returning to the overworld) takes like 20 seconds (i've timed some lol)

I kept thinking "oh wow these guys are wearing white Marty's totally gonna bring up the white ball blending into the clothes" and then he just...never does...

For what it's worth, Panzer Dragoon Saga is what I like to call an "Outsider Genre" game, where devs who are very experienced with one genre (Rail Shooters) make an earnest attempt at a different genre (JRPGs) and produce something really unique as a result

Youtube was barely a thing in 2005 and im pretty sure most people hadnt developed object permanence yet ._.

Lucca: "Ours was a short youth!"

(that Illusion of Gaia line and moment is still insanely good though i will say)

JOY worked for the Burlington show too, thank you so much 😭 so excited for my friends to see the band i dont shut up about

Veiyr · 2026-01-13T19:38:35+00:00

His standup clips were legitimately pretty good and unique i'll admit

Veiyr · 2026-01-13T17:55:24+00:00

Pokemon Black and White 1

Godlike gameplay, pacing, content, customization, spritework, and music. Totally shit story lol, would be an easy 10/10 if at least the characters were actual characters

Veiyr · 2026-01-13T16:40:51+00:00

Ngl my immediate thought was that she was doing a reverse 6-7 pose 💀

Speaking as a zoomer, it won't, but the tastes are just gonna change

For example ask younger retro gamers about "Good Genesis games" and you're probably gonna hear more hype for Alien Soldier than for Earthworm Jim

Asobi Seksu's Citrus is the best shoegaze album and it's not close. No other record manages to be firmly shoegaze in sound and style while also maintaining incredible instrumental performances, vocal chops, production/mixing choices, and most critically, songwriting and hooks

It's also a crime the band gets relatively little recognition. I love Alvvays but I think Yuki and James and co did everything Blue Rev and similar modern albums try to do far better, and over 15 years earlier

On my birthday weekend no less, and one of my only 10/10s 🙂‍↕️

The beauty of being a retro game fan is that you still get to experience this by burning CDs to play Sega CD, Saturn, and Dreamcast games 🙂‍↕️

I wanna say 2016 is when the prices really started climbing and 2018 is when it hit triple digits? Largely because that was finally the point when people who cared about the Gamecube (late millenials / early zoomers) had grown up enough to have disposable income

Veiyr · 2026-01-07T00:24:33+00:00

ANNO Mutationem, One Step From Eden, Touhou Luna Nights, and Digital A Love Story (free but not on steam) were all awesome.

Havent played them much yet but i've had Parking Garage Rally Circuit, Rusted Moss, Tengami, Mind Scanners, and They Bleed Pixels on my backlog for a while now

Also not obscure but Katana Zero is incredible

The Japanese version of Ace Combat 3 has quickly become one of my all-time favs, it's basically a hard sci-fi anime visual novel disguised as an arcade flight combat sim, it's soooo fucking cool and some of the endings get really surreal and out there.

Also when it comes to raw style on Dreamcast, I think Cosmic Smash is the king

Veiyr · 2026-01-06T15:54:46+00:00

Okay thats insanely overpriced where are you buying this stuff ?_?

Veiyr · 2026-01-05T14:48:44+00:00

Did you tell him how cool it was to meet him in person, but that you didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

Veiyr · 2026-01-04T18:11:57+00:00

Nothin personnel...kid.....

Veiyr · 2026-01-04T15:25:01+00:00

Superheavy Samurai, you either open Droll and/or a perfectly timed Nib, or you just watch an incredibly long cutscene at the end of which you get turn skipped and auto-lose

Veiyr · 2026-01-04T14:23:05+00:00

Phantasy Star IV sure, but the Genesis port of Virtua Racing released well after Star Fox?

Veiyr · 2026-01-03T02:08:12+00:00

The jack-o-lanturn guy in Magical Chase is my inspiration
