Super Mario Bros. - Peach's Adventure is a straightforward mash-up of all-things classic Mario. The art-direction is clearly inspired by SMB1, and there are frequent references to other titles like SMB3 and SML2. Besides utilizing its engine as well as some of its… ## [Arcade Appreciation - Monster Maulers](https://pepsimanvsjoe.blogspot.com/2026/08/arcade-appreciation-monster-maulers.html) _2026-08-20 · PepsimanVsJoe · PepsimanVsJoe's videogame blog_ The criminal organization Happy Droppers has bombarded Earth with psycho-mutation orbs! From this bizarre assault on nature rose six behemoths. Indestructible by conventional means, these gigantic creatures are poised to wreak havoc. They're so strange and powerful! The planet we call home teeters on the brink of annihilation! Is there anyone who can answer the call of heroism?! Well... yeah, of… ## [Super Nintendo Look - Cotton 100%](https://pepsimanvsjoe.blogspot.com/2026/08/super-nintendo-look-cotton-100.html) _2026-08-19 · PepsimanVsJoe · PepsimanVsJoe's videogame blog_ Life isn't easy for Cotton. She just wants to relax and eat willow candies, yet disaster follows her like a shadow. In Märchen Land there exists the wondrous willow grass, the main ingredient in a delicacy that has no equal. That's right! I'm talking about the Rainbow Drop. Without a doubt, a candy this tasty is reason enough to challenge seven stages of projectile-laden mayhem. Besides, it's not… ## [Everything you’ve been told about being a “good mother” is wrong](https://matriarchyreport.substack.com/p/everything-youve-been-told-about-5b1) _2026-08-19 · Lane Anderson · Matriarchy Report_ The contentious history of motherhood, with scholar Nancy Reddy ## [Super Nintendo Look - Dragon View](https://pepsimanvsjoe.blogspot.com/2026/08/super-nintendo-look-dragon-view.html) _2026-08-15 · PepsimanVsJoe · PepsimanVsJoe's videogame blog_ In the minutes leading up to this review, I brainstormed and discarded a half-dozen introductions. Among the refuse was a brief history of Kemco, a once-held belief that a belt-scrolling Action RPG would be the coolest thing ever, and existential crisis #2,194. Ultimately, I settled for what I believe best summarizes Dragon View's place in history. It's a derivative product designed in a lab to… ## [Turbografx-16 Look - Magical Chase](https://pepsimanvsjoe.blogspot.com/2026/08/turbografx-16-look-magical-chase.html) _2026-08-14 · PepsimanVsJoe · PepsimanVsJoe's videogame blog_ Once again, predictable as always, I'm trapped beneath the blinding light of a blank screen. My eyes dart in every direction, hoping to settle upon a sight that isn't the definition of futility. Something has to be typed out. "If it sucks, it sucks." is the only encouragement I can offer myself. The days of a finished review meaning anything besides a miniscule sense of accomplishment are so far… ## [On having a summer of joie de vivre](https://matriarchyreport.substack.com/p/on-having-a-summer-of-joie-de-vivre) _2026-08-12 · Lane Anderson · Matriarchy Report_ Accessing summer joy, 2026 edition. ## [Game Boy Color Look - Blade](https://pepsimanvsjoe.blogspot.com/2026/08/game-boy-color-look-blade.html) _2026-08-10 · PepsimanVsJoe · PepsimanVsJoe's videogame blog_ Blade is exactly what I like to see from a licensed game. A competent developer puts their expertise to work and delivers a unique product that's enjoyable to play. Yes, I just stumbled onto this Game Boy Color brawler a few days ago, but I'll be damned if I don't make it the center of attention for a hot minute. For those out there who haven't already checked Mobygames , today's Daywalker… ## [Zelda II Randomizer ~ Help! I can't quit this freaking game!](https://pepsimanvsjoe.blogspot.com/2026/08/zelda-ii-randomizer-help-i-cant-quit.html) _2026-08-10 · PepsimanVsJoe · PepsimanVsJoe's videogame blog_ This is the page that I've dedicated to my Zelda II: Link is Adventuresome Randomizer playthroughs. Run #1 - Basic random options. This took about four and a half hours to complete. Run #2 - More advanced options. This took just under four hours. Ignore the first 20 minutes. It's from a failed run. Run #3 - This time I got the ALLKEY earlier and was able to save a ton of time. There's still plenty… ## [Super Nintendo Look - Super Adventure Island](https://pepsimanvsjoe.blogspot.com/2026/08/super-nintendo-look-super-adventure.html) _2026-08-08 · PepsimanVsJoe · PepsimanVsJoe's videogame blog_ It's Friday night and I'm on my usual bullshit: playing Zelda II randomizers. Either inspiration strikes, or my brain numbs itself into slush. After two or twelve hours, it finally dawns on me that I can throw down some words on an inoffensive game. Super Adventure Island is a spice-free and forgettable take on Hudson Soft's hop & toss series. Most gamers remember it for the funky Yuzo Koshiro… ## [Web Coding With AI, Live (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/sELNp23picRf) _2026-08-08 · **Sponsored**_ Collaborative screen sharing with simultaneous remote control, open source. ## [Book discussion: Famesick](https://matriarchyreport.substack.com/p/book-discussion-famesick) _2026-08-05 · Lane Anderson · Matriarchy Report_ Lena Dunham's memoir reminds us that a woman can become famous for being brilliant, honest, and real, but not without a cost. ## [2026 Special - Zelda II: Link is Adventuresome](https://pepsimanvsjoe.blogspot.com/2026/08/2026-special-zelda-ii-link-is.html) _2026-08-03 · PepsimanVsJoe · PepsimanVsJoe's videogame blog_ You know something is very wrong when I'm writing about a Nintendo game. Well, technically it's a remaster of a Nintendo game with added content, but let's not distract ourselves with details just yet. Mainly, I'm under the (hopefully mistaken) impression that people aren't recognizing Zelda II: The Adventures of Link as the greatest side-scrolling Action-RPG on 8-bit hardware, and it's… ## ["Wisdom is the slow education of the self"](https://matriarchyreport.substack.com/p/wisdom-is-the-slow-education-of-the) _2026-07-29 · Allison Lichter · Matriarchy Report_ Debbie Millman on using AI after 40.

No disrespect intended towards Infinity Co., Ltd. After all, this was one of their earliest games. We all had to start somewhere. Besides, I wouldn't be surprised if Yukio Horimoto or his wife Reiko were interviewed and a Zelda II-like steeped in Greek mythology was their intention all along. The so-called black sheep… ## [Steam Look - Lurruna: The Island of Towering Automatons](https://pepsimanvsjoe.blogspot.com/2026/07/steam-look-lurruna-island-of-towering.html) _2026-07-25 · PepsimanVsJoe · PepsimanVsJoe's videogame blog_ While the rest of the planet sizzles like pork fat on a greasy skillet, Verlegrove sits at the front door of the next Ice Age. What could've brought a once-in-an-eternity blizzard to this Florida city? It has to be the Bermuda Triangle! Why, just the other day somebody reported a heat swell emanating from an uncharted isle located somewhere in that dastardly region. Intrepid explorer, pilot, and… ## [What would happen if we centered life?

Eventually, I came across Override, a title that caught my attention because it was developed by Sting. You probably know them from such classics as Psycho Chaser, Melfand Stories , and The Jetsons: Invasion of the Planet Pirates. After a couple playthroughs, I came away… ## [What Does It Really Mean to be "Equal"?](https://matriarchyreport.substack.com/p/what-does-it-really-mean-to-be-equal) _2026-07-15 · Allison Lichter · Matriarchy Report_ As in: “I don’t want to do more around the house just because I was born with a vagina.” ## [TV has a male narcissism problem.
