She/her gamer gremlin that should probably log off. I help organize and compete in puzzle and fighting games, and I'm making some video games but very, very slowly

Personally, my experience has been that it's never been better? I can play any retro classic or modern mainline game (there are many) with rollback netcode and play in bracket any day of the week. Most new entries are surprisingly well balanced and have various modern niceties, it's great!!

Did you know that Chunsoft took its name from the main character of a pre-Chunsoft game made by its founder, Koichi Nakamura? And that this game, Door Door, was developed for a contest held by Enix to find programmers and games worth investing in? Even better: the game itself is still great fun.

part of it is not knowing what goes into a whole book. Do I talk about he development of the game? the mechanics? the community? I guess it's time to get reading.

I had a short-lived wordpress that I've been meaning to get back to. Writing about stuff you like is fun!

My holy-grail arcade game has been emulated! Shout outs to the WinSavage project github.com/P3ti/WinSavage

I tried getting this working a while ago, beat me to it.

The installation is not straight forward, so I made this archive:

A quick thanks to all of the viewers for pushing the channel's Red Earth video past 10,000 views. It has now entered the top 10 list for most views on the channel! Hopefully it helped someone in playing Red Earth/Warzard.

We’ve got Hamster Scramble this week, a Puzzle Bobble-like with multiple layers of neutral: do you weigh your risk/reward on clears, prioritize sabotaging your opponents board over the health of your own or just scrap it out on their side of the screen?

His offense requires you to keep things pretty varied and "busy" in a way that might seem a little annoying if you always want the best reward, but I feel like his buttons are so privileged in terms of shape and active frames that your defense is really simple to execute, which is nice.

the fact that this counterpokes and beats a lot of shallow jump ins (not because of its shape, because of its active frames) is really, really strange

I probably would've stayed out longer, but my guide took a pretty bad spill early on and that set the tone for things to come. The heat was definitely an issue; there was no wind or shade when trekking through the burn, and it honestly wasn't much better higher up.

Klax is a falling block match three puzzler from 1990, featuring 100 challenge-based levels. It's one of Atari Games' finest outings, and while it was ported to basically everything in existence for a good decade or so, nowadays, Warner Bros. Interactive mostly seems to have forgotten it exists.

today i'm heading out into the mountains to investigate a year old burn for morels luckily as the area settles in for a heat advisory, i'm pretty sure it'll be mostly in the 60s and 70s at altitude i'll be out of contact until sunday, so have a good weekend friends

We’ve got Magical Tetris Challenge queued up for bracket tomorrow, a game which completely bucks the trend of conventional Tetris damage. You get bigger O shapes, pentaminos, stars, pyramids. So you know, it’s going to be an event to see who can cope the best

so far i've learned that it's usually faster to let them wander out of the trap on their own time rather than trying to force the issue. if you touch them they instinctively grab on to everything within reach and will NOT let go on their own
