My top 100 PCE game thread officially wrapped up yesterday! Thank you to everyone who followed along and for the kind comments along the way!
It's nothing special, but I decided to revive my website so it could have a more permanent home there:

So who am I anyway, and why do I have opinions on emulation-vs-FPGA anyway ? Some people may not have heard my name before.
I've been following the PC Engine since 1989.
I made the Kisado adapter to play import games on TG-16 after comparing the PCBs of TG16 and PCE in late 1989.

AIライザの件、「使い方次第」とか「可能性はあるんだから良いやり方をスタンダードにすれば世界は変わってくれる」みたいな楽観的な考えを、
もの作りの仕事に関わる人全員が捨てられる切欠になったらいいですね。
AIライザで起きてる事と同じことは、実は何年も前から起きてるんです。
それがまた起こっただけです。
そして、いつまでも生成AIそのものが抱えてる権利問題から目を背けていたら、同じことが今度は別のコンテンツやリアルの人間に対しても起きます。
そろそろ現実を見よう。

It’s a brand new ep with a whole lot of old: two lost Virtual Boy games, a recap of Quintet’s SNES hits, and a return trip to Halo with Campaign Evolved. How many Gabes does it take to wreck a Warthog? The answer won’t surprise you. Plus week-old news! 8-4.jp/podcasts/202...

Happy World International 8-4 Day! We applaud Nintendo in choosing to release two previously unreleased Virtual Boy games today in honor of this momentous occasion. But if you’d rather kick it old(er)-school, why not revisit the OG that inspired it all?

I guess that's that then, huh? The end of buying games for PlayStation for me - at least, for the most part. I guess I'll still play some games from time to time but talk about destroying interest in a platform. Only Nintendo remains but for how long?
