@DanClem033 まさにその通りだね。最強のブランド、 “ネオジオ”！！！

途中経過🫡 下段の書籍類の整理と一旦ガンダムをアウト👌 久々のソフト引っ張り出しスタイル🤔 ROMが目立って良いね🤞

@StoicViking2025 Life is about balance especially now more than ever in a complex fast evolving world. Master that and you master your life. Thank you for serving our country.

Why I Left Special Forces and a Tier 1 Unit After 13 Years 13 years in Special Operations, including a Tier 1 unit. I thought I was chasing purpose, but I was losing everything else. One conversation forced me to see it. This is about tradeoffs, and deciding what your life is really worth. Have you faced that choice? #SpecialForces #Tier1 #Military

@basemntbrothers @chocomaximusmax I mean I am just buying to have fun/enjoy life why is everything online gotta be negative.

@chocomaximusmax So does the Spanish Neo Geo community only post rage bait, I mean "uncomfortable truths"? Because that's all I've been getting

Verdades incomodas? O verdades como puños? 🤭 nunca entendí ese afán por NeoGeo cuando hasta ahora nadie parecía prestarle atención…

@MrWrightWays Man I found the game company stores are kinda weak at least in terms of stuff I am interested in buying but they have good decor to take pics of. You visiting the SNK store?

The Dragonball Store in Tokyo wasn’t that impressive at all. Just a cool store with Dragonball stuff to buy.

@stepperatsuo O man great pickup!!!

本日の購入品‼️ レプトンでネオジオROM月華の剣士を 49800円でGET‼️ 値札98000でしたがよく見ると第二幕で店員さんに確認したら値付け間違いとの事で49800だったので即GET😊 爆安‼️ 元からこの値段だったらもう売り切れてましたね💦 状態も美品でした‼️ ポイントも3倍でお得🉐

@jack_po_rt_ea_ Nice collection!!!

一旦コレでOkay！ AES＋のソフト10本が着弾することが確定しているので、ネオジオゾーン3段目を整頓術で無理矢理創造🫡🔥 加えて、ネオジオソフトを棚の先頭にして見やすくしたらめっちゃエモいじゃあないか❗️あー！早く来ないかなー！！！

@MrWrightWays Services across the board seem to just work very well in Japan from the people to the gadgets. It makes life pleasant doesn't it.

I love how a lot of Apps take advantage of the Dynamic Island on iPhone, it’s a HUGE HELP while traveling on the train or bus here in Japan

@BitmapBureau @MrWrightWays Awesome. Let us know when is in USA can have it shipped as currently it won’t let me purchase

Some good news: Final Vendetta Neo Geo started final checks & tests! More details: bitmapbureau.com/post/retro-dev… From today, we’re gonna do a fortnightly blog post to keep you updated on the FV Neo Geo programming, assembly & distribution steps, right up until you receive your copy.

@MrWrightWays Enjoy your trip!! I just got back from 2 1/2 months vaca there it is a great place to relax, geek out, eat, and enjoy a honorable culture.

Wheels up.. next stop Tokyo

@DRolandAnderson @DrPippaM Could happen in my lifetime but more likely short term is what Dr. P is noticing that CN may start to leverage NK more than has in past. They have some large mineral reserves that will become increasing valuable as others are tapped out other places.

@DanClem033 @DrPippaM I didn’t even think about that. I should have. In the current timeline, I don’t think it’s a crazy idea.

I went up to the North Korean border because a lot is happening there. Headlines are noisy. When it comes to North Korea, the silence is deafening. China is co-opting N Korea into its economy. The Xi-Trump Summit has more ambitious objectives than we realize. The Hermit Kingdom is being plugged back into the world economy. There's more. Much more.... open.substack.com/pub/drpippa/p/… Video open.substack.com/pub/drpippa/p/…

You cannot buy a new gas turbine until 2030. Order books at GE, Siemens, and Mitsubishi stretch to 2029. Turbine prices have nearly tripled since 2019. Every AI data center needs power and every gas plant needs a turbine. And every turbine has one part that bottlenecks the entire industry: The blade. It has to survive in gas 500°C above the melting point of the metal it's made from and spin at up to 20,000 RPM under 10,000 g of centrifugal force. Each blade is grown as a single crystal of nickel superalloy, pulled through a vacuum furnace at 3 mm per minute. A set of blades costs $600,000 and takes 90 weeks to grow. The same metallurgy powers modern jet engines. Only 3 companies on Earth can build one. China spent $42 billion trying to catch up. They bought a Russian fighter engine, took it apart, and copied every part. Their copy ran 30 hours between overhauls versus 400 for the original. Modern Western engines run 4,000. You can reverse engineer the shape of a turbine blade. You cannot reverse engineer 60 years of metallurgy.

@RetroRGB @topapate Awesome I hope what this does is spur more new HQ games to be made for the AES by having a large enough user base to support.

Looks like @topapate just clarified a LOT about the new #NeoGeo AES+ and it's pretty exciting. Links and more info in the post: retrorgb.com/jotego-confirm…

@akio_1963 Yes playing it for the first time a few years ago I thought it was brilliant. Fun things like this is what make some games so fun.

【共闘】 『METAL SLUG２』のラスト、モーデン軍に加担していたかに見えた宇宙人は、突如としてトラクタービームでモーデンを拘束し、正規軍もろともモーデン軍を攻撃し始めました。 共通の敵を前に、先ほどまで熾烈な戦いを繰り広げていた両軍は即座に共闘を選択し、正規軍とモーデン軍は、宇宙人の巨大UFO『シティ・デストロイヤー』に対し、総攻撃を開始する。 このストーリーは、『METAL SLUG 2』の企画を私が担当する以前からずっと温めていた、いつか実現しようと思っていたとっておきのアイデアだったんです。 プレイヤーの状態異常であるミイラ化、デブ化、そしてクライマックスでモーデン軍との共闘という３本柱があったからこそ、『METAL SLUG 2』で大きくテイストを変えることに躊躇はありませんでした。 この３つのアイデアを思いついた時は、必ずMETAL SLUGファンを驚かせることができると興奮していたんです。 シリーズの中でも、「このシーンが一番感動する！」というコメントをたくさん頂き、この手応えに、ただただ感謝しかありません。 [Unexpected Alliance] At the end of Metal Slug 2, the aliens, who appear to be cooperating with Morden’s Army, suddenly turn on them, capturing Morden with a tractor beam and attacking both forces. Faced with a common enemy, the two sides, who had been locked in a fierce battle just moments before, immediately join forces. The Regular Army and Morden’s Army launch a full-scale assault on the massive alien UFO, the “City Destroyer.” This storyline was a special idea I had been nurturing long before I took charge of planning for Metal Slug 2. It was something I had always hoped to bring to life. Because the game was built around three core pillars, including player transformations like becoming a mummy or turning “fat,” as well as the climactic alliance with Morden’s Army, I had no hesitation in taking the game’s tone in a bold new direction. When I first came up with these ideas, I was genuinely excited and convinced they would surprise fans of the series. Even now, I receive many comments saying, “This is the most emotional scene in the entire series!” I’m simply grateful for that response. #MetalSlug30th #メタスラ30th

@gamer_lafan Yes will be interesting to see if they release 2 or X and the overclock system. X is my fav of the slugs I have 1cc that bad boy before.

Metal Slug 2 is a game I really enjoyed because, unlike the more serious tone of its predecessor, it leans heavily into comedic elements. The graphics were significantly improved, and the increased density of backgrounds and enemies gave it a quality that feels almost like watching an animated film. However, due to poor optimization, the game often suffers from heavy slowdown, to the point where it can be difficult to play properly. This becomes especially noticeable in the later stages, where large numbers of enemies appear—just firing your weapon can turn the game into slow motion. Because of this, a short time later, an optimized version of Metal Slug 2, known as Metal Slug X, was released. With the upcoming Neo Geo AES+, which is said to include an overclocking feature, I’m really curious to see whether Metal Slug 2 will run more smoothly on it.

@basemntbrothers should be DanielClem or DanClem I think. dont wanna put my email here public

@DanClem033 What's your username? I'll try asking.

As cool as this would be, SSRPG was designed as a CD game from the ground up. It would be quite a monumental effort to pull it apart and make it work as a cartridge game. And the NeoSD Pro plays it basically as an ODE. So unless they're making a $90 ODE that can play the ISO...

@basemntbrothers Ok. No I wasn't sure is why I asked before I tried it out or use my time for other games. Man btw no one ever approved my neo-geo forum request the one I mentioned to you on reddit when I was in Japan hmph.

@DanClem033 No, it doesn't work right. The sound will glitch early on and it won't come back. I'm sorry if someone gave you the impression this works.

@CWWbDhz4cqsHe3F Yes having NG AES carts is the ultimate for ROM cart era.

開けてファミコンカセットと比べてみても、大きい あと持ってみたら、重たいので ジワジワとネオジオROM買ったんだなぁと、充実感でてきた 💪😅🧣💦👍 #レトロコンシューマー愛好会
