From the old into the… old. Print has long fascinated me. Probably because I’ve spent so much of my lifetime in front of, or otherwise interacting with, a screen of some kind, there’s a level of respite to be found … Continue reading →| LunarLoony
If a skill tree falls in the woods…? There’s a trend in games lately (and by that, I mean since about 2014 or so), and that is the Skill Tree. It’s meant to represent your character learning new… er, skills… … Continue reading →| LunarLoony
Or a lack thereof! I’ve always been pretty good at getting attached to objects, and I’ve always been pretty bad at letting go in general. I remember a lot of instances where, as a child, I was asked if I … Continue reading →| LunarLoony
Crash TwinSanity. Not really an unsolved mystery as such, more a bit of a cautionary tale. TwinSanity has a lot of problems, the main one being that it barely feels like a Crash Bandicoot game, and I seem to recall not being super impressed about it at the time. Despite all this, I actually genuinely love it to bits, and the main reason is that there was probably more material on the cutting room floor than ended up on the final disc. It’s pretty tragic, because it was the first proper effo...| LunarLoony
Game Pass can pound sand. I didn’t get a huge amount of games growing up. We always had systems that were at least one generation older than everyone else had – so while most people spent the early 2000s with … Continue reading →| LunarLoony
Stealing phrases from my wife and using them for my own nefarious purposes! …well, not ‘nefarious’, really. The phrase as seen in the title refers, very specifically, to DIY tasks. Ostensibly those which involve caulk, sealant, or other substance that … Continue reading →| LunarLoony
I didn’t stream today. For many years, I have streamed Mondays and Fridays at 7pm. I’ve committed to this, and aside from when I’ve been ill or away from home, the stream has always run. Before that, I did Sundays … Continue reading →| LunarLoony
I made the mistake of 100%-ing Banjo-Kazooie, which I finished last week, and now my dreams of creating my ultimate 3D platformer have been revitalised. For clarity: Banjo was a fantastic experience. I wrote about it plenty in The Bittersweet Disappointment … Continue reading →| LunarLoony
I’ve been “selfhosting”, or “homelabbing”, or whatever-ya-wanna-call-it for a few years now, and I’ve built up a nice collection of software! This isn’t a proper “top 5” or anything, because how can one truly make a top 5 of software? … Continue reading →| LunarLoony
I’ve mentioned before how, upon hearing a phrase I like the sound of, will try and work it into my vocabulary. Off the top of my head, the phrases “boy howdy” (courtesy of Bloom County), “feeling froggy” (one from my … Continue reading →| LunarLoony
My blog has never been something I’ve particularly kept on top of. I write occasionally, and then leave it for months at a time. So, Blorgust might be a bit of fun! I have plenty to say, don’t get me wrong, and it might be nice to get the thoughts of the things out into a somewhat more corporeal format.| LunarLoony

Mario Kart finally graduates to the heady heights of adventure racing, sort of.| LunarLoony
Last time, we looked at upscalers and switching. Next, it’s time to discuss how – and why! – we would split a signal, and the best ways of doing that.| LunarLoony
Last time, we looked at where the video signal ends up in my retro capture setup. But how does it get there, and by what arcane magicks can I display fuzzy old console signals in crisp 1080p?| LunarLoony
Welcome to my Totally Not Recommended guide to capturing accurate and authentic footage from your consoles. This is how I’ve got things set up, such that I can easily record and stream from real hardware (with all the real problems that brings).| LunarLoony
This is a followup to a previous post, On Soup and Bugs. Give that a read first; this will make a bit more sense.| LunarLoony
