I also know someone else who was recently banned for no reason & it was implied to both of us to that the key to account longevity was a blue check, LULZ
Funny enough, said threat has motivated me to keep going, while I still can, cuz Twitter remains THE place for game culture…
… Even tho TBH I first found out about @okumofzdd over at Bluesky; hope mentioning that place doesn't get me banned! Along with how I plan on featuring their handiwork in a future FORT90 BROADCAST SYSTEM transmission, once Halloween is over with (see wonderville.nyc/events/the-f…)
Another account of mine, focused on my livestreams, was just nuked cuz apparently retweeting yourself is against the TOS re: "Inauthentic Accounts" (meanwhile this place is now overrun by bots), so am not very happy with Twitter atm, yet this pic reminds me why I can never leave
… Literally the last thing I could have expected was to even consider returning to Xbox, yet here we are xitter.cf/HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN/status…
Actually, I just realized what everyone was talking about during this year's #DreamcastDay instead
How I've spent my Friday night, which also happens to be 9/11: looking over tweets posted on 9/9 & being dismayed by the lack of Dreamcast chatter among those I follow, save this
(I was too busy getting CachyOS up & running, to play Rez actually, so yes, the Steam version)
Rezのエリア1のボス戦の曲をBreak Beatsに🥁倒した時によく聴こえるシンセの1フレーズを切り取ってド派手に仕上げました。
9/22・23と出演するThe Tenth Mosaicの初日は、Rez25周年を祝うべく1時間Rezのサントラ縛りによるライブをします🔥
#rez #fiegerdrumming #remix
… But yes, am now another Linux convert who has discovered that it does indeed play Windows games better than the intended hardware
Next I will try to tackle Atomiswave games (since I'm losing faith that @terraonion's MODE will ever be restocked) xitter.cf/timeproofgames/status/…
For anyone curious about this account's lack of activity compared to the past: the oft cited lack of bandwidth is further exacerbated by how resource intensive it is to focus almost exclusively on game culture outside of America, cuz just look at this bullshit in one's backyard…

… It also shouldn't be a shocker to hear that my primary focus atm is the FORT90 BROADCAST SYSTEM, which is currently being revamped cuz of reasons pertaining to why there's no VOD of the last broadcast, which would have included this banger (via youtu.be/hb2gdA4btgc)
Tonight I will state once again "if you see a video you like, download it ASAP, cuz it might not be there next time" to intro the following, which is in place of a YouTube upload of a Capcom Friendly Club VHS I failed to nab in time; maybe it's somewhere elsewhere on Twitter?

Another fun fact: said IRL screening was also the one & only time I tried to bridge both my Attract Mode and @wondervillenyc pursuits, given that said movie touches upon game culture & all (see wonderville.nyc/events/cinev…)

For those not familiar, I've played them both during past FORT90 TV broadcasts, and this tweet is motivation enough for repeat showings later tonight (for those who missed it the first time, see wonderville.nyc/events/the-f…)
This is Gamer Girls, part of this year's @NYAFF, which is about "Hong Kong’s first all-female esports team"; I'll be showing several other trailers during tonight's FORT90 TV (see wonderville.nyc/events/the-f…) as well as discuss why HK cinema ain't what it used to be
And here's a look at the inside of said original @BEEP_akihabara location, via a music video
A look at the outside of the original or should I say old @BEEP_akihabara? Am still not sure if the new location is an expansion or a replacement (paging @alexfkraus, and for everyone else, a related question: is it just me or is Twitter's translation tool kinda crap as of late?)
For those still livid at Sony for killing physical games (as we all should be), behold the S-tier hater that all other haters need to take cues from (even if 'm not so sure about the mass-banning thing in this particular example, but hey, that's just how the game is played)…
BREAKING 🚨 Sony is mass-banning fans in their own streams for saying “support physical games.”
These greedy, soul-sucking parasites are purging anyone who threatens their plan to turn you into a locked-in, price-gouged digital slave.
You’re not a customer.
You’re not a gamer.
You’re livestock.
A walking wallet to be farmed, milked, and discarded. The second you resist their monopoly scam, they silence you like dogs.
This is Monopoly War! #PhysicalGamesMatter
Tho for the most part, you’ll see nothing but absolute stone cold truths about the future, and the future continues to look fucked… xitter.cf/jnlgame/status/2076023…
… BTW/FYI, @jnlgame remains my all-time fave game shop in NYC, which I wrote about when I contributed to @Kotaku for a hot sec (see kotaku.com/the-last-great-ga…), tho the many changes in site’s design have eaten up the photos that accompanied my piece; thankfully I save everything
