You have died of dysentery.

The handheld is just a few years old, but the game... I first played it on a Commodore PET computer in 1979.

aside from Linux compatability or genuine hardware issues it's a little bit funny seeing people complain that certain games run bad on the steam deck. because it's like.....well you sure as hell wouldn't expect this to run on the switch would you lol? why would you expect this to work on a handheld device this game is like 300GB

games played in january (thoughts under the cut):

- the melting apartment by flowerstudio - opossum country by benjelter - poltersprite by inkusalters

people are still making gameboy games. isn’t that a delightful sentence. people are, in fact, writing short-form speculative horror fiction via the medium of gameboy games. should you have the time & gumption, you could create working cartridges using these roms and play them on an actual gameboy. i did not do that. i played them via emulator like a common rube. but i had an excellent time doing so

the melting apartment (the game which led me down this rabbit hole) is described as ‘a moody and surreal horror adventure game inspired by italian giallo movies and junji ito’. i love the idea of a gba game, of all things, inspired by giallo movies and junji ito. that’s perfect. that’s what art is all about. those influences make themselves apparent immediately: sickly limited colour palettes, dreamy gorey visuals, eerie oppressive soundscapes. also, multiple endings! which i think is a lovely touch for a story so self-contained. it's like a little puzzle box or rubik's cube, but with added viscera

opossum country is more of a one-and-done deal - which it uses to its advantage. there is one ending and you cannot escape it. even though i knew this i found myself replaying anyway, hoping for a secret easter egg ending to reveal itself to me (nothing more powerful than the human instinct of There Must Be Something I Can Do). no dice, but still fun. there’s some wonderfully unsettling artwork tucked away in the final cutscenes and the twist reminded me of strange fairy tales. tam lin, the six swans…

poltersprite is the most straightforwardly 'game-like' offering here -- the other two are more like visual novels, whereas this one has an actual gameplay loop. with MECHANICS! and ITEMS! and PHANTOMS! NASTY LITTLE GHOULIES! this genuinely scratched an itch for me, like microdosing on phasmophobia. surprisingly addictive. exceedingly replayable. felt like something i would have played the shit out of waaaay past my bedtime in 2006

bonus I Haven’t Played It Yet But Looks Interesting list:

- cryohazard

- demon fish dead ahead

- synthfall: bug byte

all these games are free (!) on itch and worth a peek. if u dare...

there's something so Smile-inducing about seeing people whose simblrs I've on and off come across and liked and that made me smile in the notes of my ts2 fanart it's like omg... you are visiting my b(l)og... I once extirpated myself from its still nasty waters and dragged algea and hoof marks all over your beautiful home and now you pay me a visit. you shouldn't have. but you are welcomed and loved as a guest. Smiles so sweetly

'Tony Hawk's Underground 2: World Destruction Tour - E3 2004 Trailer'

[MULTI] [USA] [VIDEO, TRAILER] [2004]

"Some sources claim that June Carter had seen the words "Love is like a burning ring of fire" underlined in an Elizabethan poetry book owned by her uncle A. P. Carter. She worked with Merle Kilgore on writing a song inspired by this imagery, as she had seen her uncle do in the past. In her words: "There is no way to be in that kind of hell, no way to extinguish a flame that burns, burns, burns". ("Ring of Fire") was originally recorded by June's sister, Anita Carter, on her Mercury Records album Folk Songs Old and New (1963) as "(Love's) Ring of Fire". Mercury released Anita's version as a single and it was a featured "pick hit" in Billboard magazine. After hearing Anita's version, Johnny Cash claimed he had a dream where he heard the song accompanied by "Mexican horns". The mariachi horn sound had recently been popularized on American radio with 1962 hit song "The Lonely Bull" by Herb Alpert. Cash said, "[...] I'll give you about five or six more months, and if you don't hit with it, I'm gonna record it the way I feel it." Cash noted that adding trumpets was a change to his basic sound. When the song failed to become a major hit for Anita, Cash recorded it his own way, adding the mariachi-style horns from his dream. This sound was later used in the song "It Ain't Me Babe", which was recorded around the same time. Mother Maybelle and the Carter Sisters are prominently featured in the Cash recording singing harmony. Cash tinkered with a few of the original phrases in Anita Carter's version of the song. Cash's daughter Rosanne said, "The song is about the transformative power of love and that's what it has always meant to me and that's what it will always mean to the Cash children." ~Wikipedia

Considering how it's hinted that Susie ethier lives in poverty, has an abusive parent(s)/guardian(s), is homeless, or some combination of the above, what were the circumstances for her to have played/know about Dragon Blazers 2?
