So last night i played Quake past midnight, checked socials and found.... fans are recreating the snes satallaview broadcast service.

So the Super Nintendo had something called BS-X which was only available in japan was the next project after the original cd addon idea flopped (and inadvertently created the playstation console along with causing the cd-i nintendo games to exist but thats another story). The idea behind it was that periodically subscribers can download limited time games exclusive to the BS-X. Of course it was eventual that the service would discontinue and a lot of those games would be lost until game preservationists manage to recover them for the world to see.

Well, now some folks are recreating that broadcast service and with a snes emulator, you can download any of those BS-X games that are available atm. If you're interested, the git hub page is linked now for y'all to check out

Now onto Quake which i'll be talking about the remaster thats available on consoles and pc. Quake was certainly notable enough to be remembered, just not as much as say Doom was. Doom was a trendsetter that lit up the gaming scene, Quake was just "its doom again but brown and lovecrafty". Honestly the Quake series certainly had issues with consistency which may have hurt its longevity. The first game was dark elder god vibes with the second being sci-fi world war 2 and then 3 was a just a multiplayer shooter and 4 was back to sci-fi again. Its probably part of the reason why Doom has had a resurgence with 2016 and eternal and also the upcoming dark age, while Quake only has Quake Champions. Doom is the older brother that everyone likes and is familiar with while Quake is the little brother, still likeable and has fans but certanly exists in its bigger brothers shadow. Doom is the Mario to Quakes Luigi. At least thats what i think.

I have a personal story where i was young and had a old pc from my uncles family that had Quake and Duke Nukem on it. Of course i then told my parents that i was getting nightmares from playing them and they promptly uninstalled them. Now, heres the thing, im fairly certain I made the whole nightmare thing up? I dont know why i lied about it or if infact i did had nightmares but i have that feeling that it wasnt true. Again, i have no clue, kid me was an asshole.

So the Quake remaster is neat, it has some nice Qol features such as the radial menu with slowdown, makes frantically swapping weapons during combat more doable on a controller. The ogres plain suck to fight on hard mode atleast, those grenades are a pain to dodge at times, they are essentially my least favourite enemy in Quake, the leaper gremlin, the lightning monster are perferable compared to those pricks. Atleast i can get revenge by bouncing grenades off a wall to hit enemies around corners or above and below alcoves. One thing i dont get is that the Quake remaster has a similar addon feature like the recent Doom and Doom 2 ports, where you can download some of the community mappacks and mods that were made. Pointless on pc since you can download them yourself but wonderful on console, you can even download the Nintendo 64 version of Quake to play. Yet heres the thing, the Quake 2 remaster doesnt have that feature. Theres some of the expansions, a new one by the remaster devs and the 64 version of quake 2 but theres no addon feature, no community mods to download on the remaster. Does Quake 2 not have as much a mod following like Quake 1 or did bethesda/zenimax didnt want to bother.

Well thats it for now. See you tomorrow. Feel free to leave some feedback, anons are on atm.

I suppose relevant info to add here is the the ahoy video covering the game and its development more then i can so here

So last night i played super mario sunshine past midnight, check socials and found.. DASHCON TWO IS CONFIRMED!!

So starting with the news, you ever heard of dashcon? That infamous convention about the tumblr community that had the ballpit? Yeah some folks are gonna do a sequel to that.


Seeing this does bring up a point. Dashcons legacy was the underwhelming disappointment of reality compared to what was promised. How exactly do you recreate that for a sequel when the disappointment is expected? I suppose if it ends up being a big scam but thats neither here nor there. We'll just have to wait and see how this develops.

So Super Mario Sunshine... its considered the black sheep of the series and its not my personal fave... but i love this game. I think isle delfino is one of the better mario worlds to explore. The game is summer exemplified with so much sun and water. I mean the island is a tropical vacation resort and that vibe is strong here with all the locales, bright sunny levels and beautiful blue water. Marios moveset also feels good with the fludd backpack, no longjumping but you can spray some h20 and slide on it to cover long distances, walljumping is simplified to one button and spinjumping into a hover feels great.

Whats not great is how you play the game today, im playing on the version for mario 3d allstars, a collection of 3d marios thats been delisted and doesnt include galaxy 2, and for some reason they didnt change the button prompts to match the switch unlike 64 and galaxy. Only way you can play sunshine now is either have the gamecube disc or emulate, nintendo hurry up and put gamecube and wii games on nso, stop doing the odd remaster of them and charge 40 to 60.

So onto some neat facts about sunshine:

1. You fight that goopy plant "boss" way too many times in the early game, 2 before you get to bianco hills and then once more in there. You then fight a dark version of that boss which has a second phase thats the same as the first to get to the harbor and the beach levels.
2. Did you know instead of walking into the durians, you can just spray water to move them and its less forceful? I didnt.....
3. The lil pianta kids, the small version of the big palm tree folk? They kinda sound like neco-arc when you talk to them
4. The fluddless stages you go into for some sprites have a childs playroom look to them. A lot of the objects look kinda like building blocks and toys. The skybox looks like drawings on a kids room wall. Its honestly kinda fitting given who the main antagonist is..
5. The sunflowers at the themepark stage. Especially the big one, the big milfy one?
   
   Someone would...
   Someone...
   Would.....

See you all tomorrow, feedback is appreciated, anons are currently on atm.

I wish to be able to vacation at isle delfino and enjoy the sun and sea. I want to be thrown up into the stratosphere by a local

Republicans nuked KOSA. Its considered DOA and wont be showing up at the house. This is good news certanly but its not entirely over. This bill got bipartisan support back in the senate, dickheads from both sides thought the idea behind kosa was worth doing, its just that the republican party decided to nuke it for reasons im trying to figure out? To try to deny a win for democrats similar to how they stopped a cancer research bill?

Something like kosa will pop up again, kosa itself may just rise from the grave and we'll have to go through this same song and dance so all i can say is stay informed on this type of shit. Inform your senators and reps not to support this shit and if they dont oppose it, vote them out in the next election they're running in.

There are bills that do in fact regulate the internet in a way that helps but also doesnt violate free speech by targeting how data is harvested. Thise bills should be pushed while censorship should die. For now, celebrate this day. KOSA atm is dead, done so in a manner so anticlimatic yet deserving. But be vigilant.

Apparently the reason why thr republican party nuked it was because they wanted the bill to be expanded beyond children and affect adults too. Fuck this bill and anyone who supports it.
