News & Gossip VII: For Blood and Headlines

reminds me that Metal Slug is a counterinsurgency game with special forces theory and most of the 4X or RTS games were based on the theory of employ force on a massive basis, where its superiority in firepower and technology.

The Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters just got an update that apparently let you change the font and BGM to the originals. They are also on sale on Steam.

  • A “BGM source” option has been added to the config screen. This allows you to select between the special “arrangement” BGM made for this version of the game or the “original” versions in the style of the original game. In addition, both versions of the music can be listened to from the sound player.
  • A “Font type” option has been added to the config screen. This allows you to select between the “modern” font made for this version of the game or the “classic” font in the style of the original game.

Wow, finally! Better late than never I guess. Hope this doesn’t break all the random font/display mods I’ve installed on my copy of FFVI.

FFX/X-2 on PC still need you to go toggle off DPI scaling in properties seven years later so this is a minor miracle

it’s a good time for it to end. all part of the (ten year) plan

it turns out The Encyclopedia Of Clamps was dumped to archive last year, another perversely sprawling 90s multimedia cdrom in similar vein to Museum Of Anything Goes and Alice: An Interactive Museum but with more of an adbusters art brat sensibility… i’ve been waiting for this one for a while since i first heard about it in the same “game art” exhibition catalog that listed a bunch of suzanne treister paintings and that duke nukem museum mod.
i’m not an emulation wizard or anything but could run this pretty well in compatability mode - the embedded videos didn’t play for me but it wasnt as big a deal as you might think since its one of those bigger on the inside deals (click the top left screw on the clamp encyclopedia menu for a surprise). i’ve only clicked through a little bit of the scenes on display but the interactivity is pretty fun and inventive, weirdly reminded me most of poking around the buried joke menus of the gameboy camera

Silent Hill joining the endless low budget first person corridor horror indies

Silent Hill: The Short Message, free game coming out later today for PS5. Looks kind of goofy but we’ll see. Seems they’re trying to do another PT.

Silent Hill 2 Bloob 2 Furious

SH2 remake looking much less scary than the original, as you’d expect.
