#oneaday Day 856: Flurry of activity
As so often happens after I have a day of feeling a bit maudlin, today I had a day where I got a lot done. Six videos, to be exact, including both Atari 8-bit and Atari ST videos. It's good to be getting back into the rhythm of these, and I really enjoyed the games...

#oneaday Day 852: Rotting retro
You know, I have historically thought that out of all the subcommunities of computer and tech enthusiasts, the one which would have more respect for doing things "the hard way" than anyone else would be the retro fans. These are people who, in many cases, grew up seeing genius programmers making limited hardware do things...

#oneaday Day 850: Fuck the Oliver Twins
I don't say this lightly, as I am that rare breed who legitimately, genuinely enjoyed the Dizzy games and believe a lot of their other prior output is excellent -- particularly Firehawk on NES, which is an excellent tactical helicopter shoot 'em up that actually predates Desert Strike! But after seeing their recent output, and...

#oneaday Day 836: Torrent of slop
It feels like pretty much every day for the last few months we've seen a story that claims some game or other has been translated for the first time ever, or ported to PC for the first time ever... and I feel like a good nine times out of every ten of these projects that...

#oneaday Day 808: Terranigma is coming back!
Now, I don't want to say that I caused this by finally getting around to playing it recently (and writing about it... and making a video about it) but it certainly is a pleasant coincidence that not long after I finished doing all these things, Clear River Games confirmed that an official modern rerelease of...

#oneaday Day 792: A goal, complete
Well, I've done it. I've finally gone and played through all three of Quintet's "Heaven and Earth" games on Super NES: Soul Blazer, Illusion of Time and Terranigma. (I've also played through The Granstream Saga twice in my life, as well as Actraiser once, as both of those games can be argued to be tangentially...

#oneaday Day 788: Visco does what Nintencon't... or something
As a pleasant perk of my job, I get copies of all the Evercade cartridges ahead of when they actually release. Consequently, I have been enjoying the two upcoming Visco Arcade collections for a little while now, and, shush, come over here where no-one will overhear -- I think they're my favourite carts this year....

#oneaday Day 786: Lunchtime games
I apparently completely forgot to write anything yesterday. To be fair, I was mildly hungover and thus didn't really want to do much other than play Terranigma, which I made some excellent progress on. I think I'm coming towards the end of that game, so I'll have more to write about it over on MoeGamer...

#oneaday Day 784: Playing a dead game
People in Steam reviews like to declare a game "dead" when the author of said game hasn't updated it for more than about two weeks, but we all know that's just entitled little shits who don't understand that sometimes a creative work is actually finished. However, there absolutely are "dead" games out there, by varying...

#oneaday Day 771: Anachronistic wonderment
A trait I have somehow been able to hold onto over the years -- and which I have no intent of letting go of -- is the ability to be impressed by things which, today, are not actually "impressive" as such, but which would have been impressive back when they were current. To give just...

#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. As always, there were lots of varying definitions, no agreement, and a bunch of people getting in a bit of a flap about it when their definitions of "retro" didn't line...

Playing Final Fantasy XI for the story: Part 1 – The Zilart Saga
I have been meaning to play through Final Fantasy XI's story for literal decades at this point. Ever since I first tried it, shortly after its original English release, I was fascinated by this game, but never managed to make much progress through it. On its original launch, this was down to how deliberately slow...

#oneaday Day 762: Some nice things
I started typing out a post about how shit everything was. I got to about 600 words, and I even found a really good stock image of some horseshit. Then I looked at what I had written and thought, "no, I should not give in to despair, even if it does seem like it has...

#oneaday Day 760: My own feelings on old games
First up, here's a good piece that I read earlier today, and which my resharing a clip of on Bluesky did Numbers to such a degree that I had to mute the thread. I stand by my comment of "fucking preach" about it, however, particularly the paragraph about today's games having their roots in older...

#oneaday Day 755: The lost art of going to buy a game
Yesterday, I talked generally about the impact PlayStation had on me and my friendship group thanks to stone-cold classics like Ridge Racer, Tekken and Final Fantasy VII. Today I want to talk about another aspect of that time which I have fond memories of -- but which hasn't been a thing for some years now,...

#oneaday Day 753: Finding the Fun Factor
As I often do on my regular trips in to the office (when I'm driving, anyway), I listened to a bunch of the Fun Factor podcast over the last couple of days. If you're unfamiliar, this is an excellent show hosted by sports writer Ty Schalter and video game critic Aidan Moher where the pair...

#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...
