the word quincunx looks like it should mean something lewd but actually it just means a ⁙

Boktai has been completed! That was not as hard as we remembered it being.

I think I'll be streaming Ys next, take a bit of a break from Boktai. I will do the full Boktai series eventually though! We have Boktai 2, and a fan translation of Boktai 3, ready to play whenever.

Probably? won't be doing Lunar Knights though.

But anyway, get ready for the next stream to be something entirely different!

Stream starts in five minutes!

Last time, we took down Carmilla in Sol City, the terribly-designed city in the sky--and lost our favorite floatbuddy in the process. Now it's time to move forward and find out just what Sabata is up to, and what he wants from us. And, perhaps, who he is as well?

Continuing Boktai: The Sun is in Your Hand at 10:30 CDT (UTC-5)! That's fifty minutes from the time of this posting.

that's not to say the hardware had nothing going for it at all though. it's maybe 30% hardware and 70% great composers

A lot of people really like C64 music, and for good reason

but I feel like that reason is less because of the hardware and more because there were just a lot of *really good composers* writing music for C64 games

Thinking I might stream more boktai today, anyone interested?

I say floating in place, but they don't ahve to be in place at all, they could be all over the place

thinking about being an umbreon-mightyena taur

hind legs, heads (one mightyena-style and one umbreon-style), and hands (four) floating in place, not attached, Forelegs *are* attached, though

I wonder if we'll ever see another controller with a rotary bit like the Atari paddle controllers? it seems like the industry has settled on a design so that may be unlikely but hey, would be interesting to see

I haven't posted much about it yet because we are kinda trying not to think about it too much but also finding it not *super* stressful (for a mix of reasons largely to do with distance, honestly--most of our friends and acquaintances are in low-risk groups, and those who aren't seem to be doing the isolation thing well, meaning they're unlikely to get sick) but

I sincerely hope that everyone can make it through this okay. I don't want any more people to die from this than already have

and I sincerely hope that the things that are happening in response to this catalyze the people to action about important issues like healthcare and capitalism being Bad

we can weather this storm, and come out stronger for it.

before using it for super metroid, we hadn't really liked the super nintendo's non-square face button layout

but when playing super metroid, and seeing how easy this layout makes it to hold B and press X at the same time, I definitely have more respect for it now

i think

for games that make heavy use of the dpad, and especially games originally on the snes, the 8bitdo SN30 pro+ might just be the best controller on the market

the added grips, replaceable battery, and analog shoulder buttons really improved it over the SN30 pro

but for games that use mostly the left analog stick, secondarily the right analog stick, and don't need much in the way of d-pad controls, the gamecube controller is still superior

i specifically chose french-mexican instead of french-spanish because the latter would be less of a terrible idea, probably

french-mexican fusion restaurant called cafe olé

i'm curious whether the internet in general (and especially fedi, where people are more security-conscious) thinks this is a good or a bad thing

apparently GOG galaxy lets you connect a steam/fortnight-store account now... interesting.

understandable if so. cats are very good.
