Alright, batteries showed up, time to fix my GameCube
Everyone pray for me that I don’t somehow botch this
Via Bloomberg: NetEase are cutting Nagoshi Studio’s funding in May, after learning Gang of Dragon would still require another $44 million to finish
As it stands it’s unlikely the game will actually get released

Commission time!
It's Haruka (765Pro) and Touma (Jupiter)! My SideM knowledge is extremely limited so it was fun to branch out a bit. Many thanks to the client for understanding my need to litter any and all im@s art I draw with Namco nods #TTDArt
drew honey from memory, because sometimes you just gotta draw honey
Sonic placed 5th in the "Male Characters You Most Want To Give Valentine's Chocolates To" ranking poll held by Denfaminico!

Soldering kit arrived today! I think I’ll try something simple like a GB cartridge battery replacement tomorrow, then I’ll finally replace my damn GameCube battery…

Another one of these... keeping this down to 9 was hard.
Decided on only one Sonic game to keep things balanced, and having to trim Pac-Land and Daytona 2 broke my heart...
but still, I feel this is a representative selection of my favourite stuff.

We want to share an important update regarding the next Sonic Con UK. Unfortunately, there will not be a Sonic Con UK in 2026.
Work gave me like £30 in Amazon credit for resisting the urge to tear customers limb from limb or something, so I could pick up a basic soldering starter kit for basically free... hm
On the verge of finally buying a soldering iron, because I'm tired of my Gamecube complaining about its battery
thank you for all the love on this!!!!! 🫶🫶🫶 lifelinetheworld
This is the best kind of site - a lovely deep-dive into a game that'll make you care immensely about it, even if you've never played the game in question!
Check it out!
I almost gave CD the nod over Mania! I've definitely played CD a lot in recent years, and it's very much my comfort game - but Mania is just so ridiculously good and a very special game
SA1 would've been my 3D pick
For Ridge Racer, I was stuck between R4, RR6 and RR2 PSP. I gave the nod to 2PSP since it's essentially a 'best of' - I'm one of the few Ridge Racer fans who loves the nitrous stuff in the later games
Fighting Vipers 2 is another that barely missed out, or even the original

Had a quick read through while grabbing some lunch… I can’t believe this comic caused such a firestorm on the other site (just from the previews…), it was a very fun read
Lots of lovely art on display too, I enjoy it when they do these issues that jump between artists as the setting changes
New Sonic comic day! I do love me some Crossworlds so I figured I should grab this one. Surprised I found the RI cover so easily!
Speak of the devil: SEGA's published March's Crossworlds calendar for March, with a *mystery* festival.
Mega Man? The next free character? Who knows!?
ok nvm, the twitter has a teaser and it's Some Dude, wrap it up
bold prediction: New Valkyrie RPG
realistic prediction: video game I do not care about
(SEGA is also yet to release its March roadmap for CW, as far as I'm aware...)
Sudden thought: I wonder if we'll get a release date for Mega Man in Crossworlds here
He is up next, afaik - SEGA recently sent out an email reminding players of such
now seems like a fantastic time to mention that while all of the dmca shit was going down, someone put out a fully playable english translation of cookie's bustle! even runs on modern windows (as long as you install quicktime v6.5.2, which is not what the game comes with)! cookies-bustle.net
BREAKING: We've freed Cookie.
Following an investigation by VGHF, Ukie and Web Capio have suspended DMCA takedowns for Cookie's Bustle on behalf of Graceware, SL.
More info:
extremely minute detail but I appreciate GQ being designed before the final console's release, bc she has the disc window from the early revisions
I’ve got a few of Yoshizaki Mine’s art books featuring this lot… really fun designs
(The Saturn girl showed up in a Magical Drop demo on Saturn, even)
Looking into it, I’m not convinced the generator itself is AI output - apparently it’s run locally and I would think there’d be notable differences between the typeface between generations, which isn’t the case (testing with the ‘O’ glyph). The copy on the site is defo AI though
These pics aren't actually a CRT - the RetroTink5x is just really, really good at simulating one!
This also works for Sonic Mega Collection, which is cool given the games in it were made for 240p
...I have no idea why you'd play Sonic Mega Collection for your Classic Sonic fix in 2026, but it works
