I won't be explicit about what it is but I'll say the source material has turned / will turn 21 this week.14 Jul 2026 22:27 +0000at://did:plc:sd5imma5dwmodbpe75ixc2k4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqnavdmyzc2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/bloxedretro.bsky.social/post/3mpyt52qmuc2tYou know I saw people saying a video game crash was gonna happen again as hyperbolic sensationalism but... I mean if there's this many cuts, layoffs, sales, and whatever... Christ on a Bike. There may be a push to at least maybe make gaming more a niche not any old company can enter again.

Europe was basically like today's PC scene for example.13 May 2026 10:57 +0000at://did:plc:sd5imma5dwmodbpe75ixc2k4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlq5gy2wjs2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/bloxedretro.bsky.social/post/3ml3vcvtwqc2mWoody becomes Pussy [contains quote post or other embedded content]05 May 2026 09:39 +0000at://did:plc:sd5imma5dwmodbpe75ixc2k4/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml3vcvtwqc2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/bloxedretro.bsky.social/post/3mksm6um5qk2qSo I played the Bubsy 4D demo on Switch 2 a few days ago and I have… interesting thoughts. The game feels very weird to me, it somehow feels both faithful to Bubsy but also one of those cases where an indie just slaps an IP on some game, like much of Atari’s output.

It's not like Mario 64, Super Metroid, whatever where movement options and skill open up different possibilities and thus the lack of difficulty on top of a very open direction that is segmented into stages feels just very empty to me outside smashing.14 Mar 2026 00:40 +0000at://did:plc:sd5imma5dwmodbpe75ixc2k4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgy6x5jzbc22https://bsky.app/profile/bloxedretro.bsky.social/post/3mgqfrf4kr22zhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9GBLVRPeaE10 Mar 2026 22:20 +0000at://did:plc:sd5imma5dwmodbpe75ixc2k4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgqfrf4kr22zhttps://bsky.app/profile/bloxedretro.bsky.social/post/3mgnrvkjhhk2xhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTXa89aVQqY09 Mar 2026 21:19 +0000at://did:plc:sd5imma5dwmodbpe75ixc2k4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgnrvkjhhk2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/bloxedretro.bsky.social/post/3mgnrdgrdik2xWart is back after, like, 35 years and he's voiced by Ricardo Diaz from Vice City.

Feels way too gimmicky imo, and it doesn't have the interesting mechanics imo 3 does to justify time spent. Why is it considered the best in the trilogy, or one of, if not the, greatest platformers by some?08 Mar 2026 01:58 +0000at://did:plc:sd5imma5dwmodbpe75ixc2k4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgjajy6x522jhttps://bsky.app/profile/bloxedretro.bsky.social/post/3mcfmzp6u622qhttps://x.com/Prod_JJL/status/201131879672916419414 Jan 2026 17:50 +0000at://did:plc:sd5imma5dwmodbpe75ixc2k4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mcfmzp6u622qhttps://bsky.app/profile/bloxedretro.bsky.social/post/3mbd5bwt2u226Happy New Year all!!01 Jan 2026 00:38 +0000at://did:plc:sd5imma5dwmodbpe75ixc2k4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mbd5bwt2u226https://bsky.app/profile/bloxedretro.bsky.social/post/3m3qf6igm2s2lThe fact that the future was 10 years ago today, almost to the minute of writing this it I’m not mistaken, is crazy.
