@JazRignall Fiendish Freddy's Big Top O' Fun. Summer 1994. The cartridge version that came with the C64 GS that also had International Soccer, Flimbo's Quest, and the game that it was time for in the 90s...

Klax.

I was trying to remember the name of that PS2 game about Nina Williams and tried to search for "Tekken Nil By Mouth".

Turns out it's Death By Degrees.

So, for years, a lot of people have told me how they struggled with impostor syndrome. I did too; even when I looked back at my work and could say "yeah, it's good work," I didn't feel good enough.

But then I figured out how to fix it.

This might help. https://t.co/UD2p7t58QU

I've been playing Crimson Dragon on my Xbox.

... guess Panzer Dragoon Zwei/Orta is hard to top. Those games nailed the controls and combat so well.

Okay, thinking about the Super Mario Bros movie more, why did A-Ha's 'Take On Me' play in that one scene!? Because the music video also had people driving?!

[Ellen J Miller @EllenJMiller]

Got around to watching the Mario movie.

Fun, but every time licensed music started playing my brain had to take a moment to adjust.

[Ellen J Miller @EllenJMiller]

I often wondered if there was the reverse of pan-and-scan—butchering films by showing them in a reduced aspect ratio with someone else deciding where the focus should be in the scenes—and there is! It's getting AI to try and fudge what's outside the frame of a piece of art.

@Stealth40k If only! I'd also accept a three pack of Dreamcast 3D fighting games: Tech Romancer/Project Justice/Plasma Sword.

@V1_OSW He deserves all the high fives, self- and otherwise. (Well done to you too!)

[Ellen J Miller @EllenJMiller]

@goji_guy Do you think it's a streaming service availability thing, or a change in retail tastes at conventions?

Hard to think Xenoblade Definitive Edition + Future Connected is 3 today! #XenobladeDE_fes23

Loved the addition of expert mode, wish 2 and 3 had that kind of level control on the fly during first playthroughs, and it meant all three titles are on one system.

Happy Tokimeki Memorial Day to all.

They missed a trick by calling it Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity instead of Age of the Calamity. Then there'd be:
Breath of the Wild
Age of the Calamity
Tears of the Kingdom.

[Ellen J Miller @EllenJMiller]

@docsquiddy Started replaying Prototype recently. Traversal always feels so fun in that game.

As does dropkicking a helecopter.

[Ellen J Miller @EllenJMiller]

Tears of the Kingdom is an improvement on BotW in every regard. Hyrule feels a lot more characteful and lived in, the addition of wells/caves and the Depths/Sky make it feel like such a bigger adventure (though I do miss bomb runes)

[Ellen J Miller @EllenJMiller]

Today's activity: Wait for the post to arrive to experience some Tears (of the Kingdom)

[Ellen J Miller @EllenJMiller]

@docsquiddy @GaryHebertPSD Getting a SD2Vita and modding mine is one of the best things I ever did.

[Ellen J Miller @EllenJMiller]

@Alex_Olney I like to imagine that my shiny Xatu looks the way it does because of artist spite.

[Ellen J Miller @EllenJMiller]

The Adventures of Stevie V released "Dirty Cash (Money Talks)", but what did The Adventures of Stevie I-IV ever do?
