#oneaday Day 805: Quarter-circle forward

I have long been intimidated by fighting games. I'm not sure exactly when this started, and there are still some fighting games I do enjoy -- most notably the Dead or Alive games, which I've always felt have been the closest I've come to genuinely "getting" one of these games. And I would love to...

#oneaday Day 764: Just games

There was yet another round of Tedious Discourse™ today over what the word "retro" really means, if anything, when it comes to video games.

#oneaday Day 754: Late '90s promise

As I absorb the news that Sony is giving up on physical releases of games -- something I have had a good rant about at much more length over on MoeGamer, so please go read that -- I can't help but think back to the time PlayStation hit the scene, and the incredible amount of...

#oneaday Day 745: Cost-effective gaming in 2026

Valve apparently announced the price of their long-awaited Steam Machines today and, unsurprisingly, given the general price of tech right now, they ain't cheap. They're "starting at £879" not cheap, and that only gets you 512GB of storage; they break the £1,000 mark if you want the 2TB model, though both are expandable with microSD...
