@limitedrungames.bsky.social You abandon us over here? At least close your account so we don't feel ignored!

@limitedrungames.bsky.social you quit taking anything but credit cards? Your other payment options have me a lot of ways to pay over time with Amazon pay and others. Will affect what I can get for sure!

My very own Brady Bunch! Gameboy Color version.

How many more till I can fill a 5 gallon bucket?

Added my first content to The Cutting Room Floor! Found what I could of this today. Added how to get the PIN from the save file, PIN Recovery, and Display Oddities sections here, for the Nintendo Game Boy Color version: tcrf.net/Mary-Kate_an...

Need someone with the thickest Cockney accent ever just for my coworkers with accents to transfer our (American) customers to who want 'to talk to someone that speaks English'.

Good stuff in the mail today!

We need a service here where we can give it a post ID, and it will drop a well worded PSA about bad Alt Text (not describing the image, but making comments/jokes), without putting ourselves in a confrontation or risk coming across as something other than trying to be helpful.

@limitedrungames.bsky.social Hey, today I got a tracking number for Day of the Tentacle CE and 1 minute later an update saying it wasn't shipping until Q1 of next year. Whats up with it for real?

Lego Batman may well be my favorite Batman movie (though it couldn't exist without the others). I especially love that while it does have Voldemort, he's voiced by a trans person (Suzy Izzard)!

What's up with the trend of commercials from big corps showing someone made up to look like a small town musician jamming at a campfire or in their apartment, but like they just show up and start singing a calm song about 'nationwide is on your side' or some shit... Not new but weird!

So this is what Coleco (current owners suck) think when backers ask for details about mini-arcades they wanted backing for on Kickstarter. They never answered questions and removed some backers who asked. They did normal stuff like huge hidden shipping charges and not updating the project much.

@darthbluesky.bsky.social Hey Darth, my little guy needs some help and I haven't found a job after moving. Could you please share this? He's been fighting his UTI for 2 months now. I'd appreciate it. He's been to the vet 3x now, 3 ultrasounds and needs blood work and more scans. We'd appreciate it.

I watch a lot of classic TV, like 50s-80s, leaning earlier. I find it interesting that even a goofy sitcom, popular with the masses, for example "Car 54, Where are You?" has things like scenes from Pagliacci as dreams, and the common public just got it... Lot of high brow references in goofy stuff.

Can we stop posting screenshots from Twitter of the stuff I came here to get away from just to basically say "Aren't you glad you don't have to look at this anymore?"...

I remember when it was 2 years away from the 40th anniversary of WWII ending and the NES was about to hit the US in 2 years as well (though I didn't know that). Now we're 2 years away from the 40th anniversary of the NES being in the US!

A story that ages you: I used to spend every Thursday night at my best friend's house playing Mario on the NES... In my Mario sweater and matching socks!

@pastaslut.bsky.social Hey lemme know if you got that thing!

@superselena64.bsky.social Not sure who else might know haha - any idea how these worked? Allows PS2 games to work as active-shutter 3D on CRT. Only works with some games, with different levels of how good (kinda like Nvidia 3D did). How do they get a PS2 to do that with no boot disc etc?

Why so much antipasto talk? Provolone is a much healthier mindset.

So a lot of people who are in unstable, abusive, and/or periodically violent living situations keep cell phones hidden for emergencies. If you know anyone in such a situation, make sure they know about FEMA's testing of its Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) system next Wednesday. /1

Not enough people have bought the Psikyo shooting collection for PS4 from @limitedrungames.bsky.social - I should NOT be in the top 100 on any of these games' online leaderboards! I'm not even making it to stage 3 or 4 and hitting leaderboards. Cmon! www.amazon.com/Psikyo-Shoot...

Considering game consoles sold widely at retail in the US - if you ask someone to choose between the last 8-bit console or the first 16-bit console, what do you think most would choose based on that? Ultimately, they are choosing between Turbografx-16 (1989, 8-bit), and Intellivision (1979, 16-bit).

I don't like the behavior of progress bars in general but get they are tricky things to predict. However, ones that go backwards then forward again really piss me off...

Just watched the animated film Nimona. Very awesome story and pretty funny. Very LGBTQ+ friendly, both actual characters and the whole thing being an allegory about it. Best mini quote: "Everyone grows up being told they can become a hero by driving a sword into the heart of anything different."

If the law treated people like corporations, Ted Bundy would’ve just been fined $0.02 for each person he killed.

Ebay just added the ability to respond to feedback in general (not just buyers to complaints etc.). I apologized for my one negative from 23 years ago! I hope they are cool with me now... (it was back when you sent money orders, pre-PayPal, and I took too long)

Some Kickstarters are like "for this much, we can make and distribute a whole-ass physical game with box and book" also "if we raise TWICE that much, we can throw in stickers!"

@limitedrungames.bsky.social Hey I heard there was some update with your Jurrassic Park set. Gonna let us know the details over here as well? I check the bird site about once a week now and saw that. I know some interested are here exclusively now. Copy/paste that post!
