I always ride for Team Reptile because they are tapped into the culture in a way other things that do "street culture pastiche" aren't. I grew up with street dance so the authenticity gets bonus points from me. The director Dion Koster does some of the dance mocap himself

I thought about how Mecha Vallak from EDF 2017 has one of my favorite boss intros. Only the walk-on is cinematic. Then they spawn you like a mile away and you get to see it do an atomic breath style laser sweep across the skyline. EDF excels at scale, which is naturally cinematic

Sanvein on PS1 has a presentation I can only describe as "peak cyber bullshit". So much stuff on the screen but it's all coordinated really nicely.

Dope character select screen. Got everything I like. Spinning mech renders, holographic projection style diagrams, cyber UI with all kinds of tiny text labels, hexagons

Unironically, I think ASCII has tons of potential as a graphic style, especially given how much the core techniques have evolved beyond just "one character, one tile". I've actually made a number of small game prototypes that use purely text graphics (not textmode, tho)

some trivia: this guy is a international level bboy named Atsuki from Naruto Japan and Real Akiba Boyz. He hosts Akibaccano--underground dance battles where they dance to anime songs. If you're a Miku fan, you will recognize him as breakdancing Miku from that old viral video

Today I'm listening to Fantastic Plastic Machine's debut self-titled. It's '97, so a fusion of lounge, bossa nova, electronic and hip-hop (aka. shibuya-kei). The most striking track, "First Class 77", has a phased synth loop that sounds like it was ripped straight out a PS1 game

Even games as bright and child-coded as Sub Culture have some of this. There is literally no reason for this stark of a tonal shift just going into a cave unless you wanna scare the shit out of some kid lmao

One of the great pleasures of exploring 6/10 and lower games is discovering games that are bad in almost every regard except one person (usually the composer or artist) putting both feet in it like they need the job

Reminder: there is a Winamp Skin Museum where you can see 80,000 archived Winamp skins (and use them). There was an era of Y2k hyper-maximalist design, before Apple mandated minimalism in everything. UI design had a lot more room for self-expression. It's art.

JP indie game from 2019 called Shift Breaker. Look, I know the "I love spinning robots" thing sounds like a gimmick but let me be real. If you have a spinning robot in your mech game, you "get it". If your garage theme is jazz or new jack swing, you extra get it. You understand.

I fuck w/ it. I know what this is. It's giving French house, disco house. It's giving Cassius. Martin Solveig. Spiller. I hate how kneejerk "le video game music" fans are when it comes to genre experimentation as if 2000's jazz fusion and hip hop OSTs weren't also experiments

Flying thru the lowpoly megastructures of Crime Cities which, by name, sounds like one of those crappy mobile GTA clones, but is actually an urban hovercraft combat game from 2000. That genre was popular in the tail end of the "6DoF" craze (G-Police, BHunter, etc.)

Revisiting an old freeware mech game from 2003 called Second Age. The systems are well designed and very intuitive, but it was sadly abandoned. There are a ton of clearly finished characters in this "trial" version but you tediously must use the "random" option to play them lol

I enjoy jazz, but I'm not huge on 10 min smooth jazz session bands and not read enough on theory to do much avant garde. My tempo is more Afro-Latin stuff that makes you feel like you're robbing a train. So today I'm listening to Candido's Beautiful. Track: "I'm On My Way"

One year of drawing mechs, 2025 A lot of stuff in here I never posted. Also a lot of stuff I did do not included (pixel art, animations, many style studies, etc.) What will 2026 look like, I wonder
