#introductions

Heyo, I'm Jo. I'm a 30-something BSc Computer Science who just happens to be one of them trans (She/Her, btw).

I get (rightfully tbh) angry about the sorry state of today's software, construct things in meatspace (mostly containers and boxes) and dig into game files for fun and profit. Mostly just fun. I also like old computers and consoles. 💻

I also run this little patch of land that is my own personal Masto instance. It's not open for registration, I'm afraid.

Star Trek: DS9 on the Mega Drive is such an unusual game on account of being an action platformer.

And such a fucking annoying game too.

Petition to ban weebs.

Pointless creatures that just get in the fucking way.

LB: what is birb

Related: Seeing Currys charge £50 for a store-brand switch box (Sandstrom) somehow reminded me of when they tried to pass off their Matsui brand as actual Japanese tech. >.>

Okay, how hard is it to design an HDMI switch box with all the bloody sockets at the back, people?

The ports face the back, the switch button faces the front. Not rocket surgery.

Bah, even on Easy, I end up spending credits on the last stage of SoR2.

Doesn't help that the game gives you bosses that are cheaper than most of Mortal Kombat's "AI" combined.

Wait. I just noticed background rotation on the pirate ship in Streets of Rage 2. o.O

Not sure why I dreamed about a charity shop trying to sell me a binder full of IBM-produced floppies full of MIDIs for £80, but whatever, brain.

Shit you wouldn't expect people to make a game from:

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, as in the 90s movie.

For comparison's sake, this is the Western version, which basically just uses the art for Turrican II: The Final Fight.

Today I stumbled across the boxart for the Japanese version of Super Turrican on the SNES and it's... something.

Just saying, a old git filling up his car and noticing he's being tailed by the feds doesn't need to be scored like he's being chased down by a raging T-Rex that hasn't eaten in a million years. >.>

My dad started watching Dominion: The Last Star Warrior, and good grief. The composer for this movie needs to chill the fuck out.

Pitfalls of 8BitDo controllers: Being unable to use them while the charge.
