By Shepton on September 23, 2024 in Blogé

Alright so I ain’t dead yet or anythin’. Site may as well be though given how little I ever do with it. Costs too much to even keep the electricity on in this bitch but whatcha gonna do. Still playing Street Fighter, though I take way too long of breaks between sessions and I’m always […]

Shepton’s thoughts on Street Fighter 6

By Shepton on October 24, 2023 in Blogé

Alright alright fine I’m doing a thing. Fighting games have been my dopamine delivery mechanism of choice ever since SF2 HDR came out back in the Xbox 360 times and Renegade introduced me to it. I guess prior to that, Smash was kind of a gateway drug. But Smash isn’t a fighting game, it’s a […]

By Shepton on May 22, 2023 in Sheptro

‘sup chochachos. Since I finally got that upscaler I’m doin’ a thing. I’m playing one of my absolute all time favorite games, 1992’s Desert Strike on the Sega Mega Drive. This game’s fuckin’ FUN and I love playing it. This is one of those games I go back to and play every couple years. The […]

Retrotink 5X Upscaler

By Shepton on April 30, 2023 in Sheptro

Hey what up I’m still not dead. So I picked up a Retrotink 5X and got it hooked up to my TV with a pretty wide array of consoles connected to it via component cables. It does what it do. No complaints. I spoke last year about how I wanted to pick up an OSSC […]

(Shepton’s) Scathing Accuracy Awards 2022

By Shepton on December 30, 2022 in Blogé

Alright so I figured I had to post SOMETHING else before the end of the year. Which is a great feeling, feeling obligated to do a thing nobody gives a shit about just because. No good reason. Anyway, here it goes. Didn’t Release This Year Award Winner: Disco Elysium Clever, dark and introspective in just […]

Sinden Lightgun – p. tite as it stands

By Shepton on October 15, 2022 in Sheptro

There was a period of my childhood when I had a Namco Guncon and played a ton of Time Crisis and Point Blank on PS1. Today, sucking on the comfortable tit of nostalgia, I want to revisit those games. Trouble is, those old lightguns don’t work on modern screens, they only work on CRTs, and […]

Taking a fat dump

By Shepton on October 2, 2022 in Sheptro

First and foremost: Game preservation is super important. As old hardware inevitably dies off, so too does the original and intended way of playing a game produced for that hardware. Emulation is fantastic and extremely necessary as a means of preserving the software and allowing it to be enjoyed in a way that’s at least […]

What it is in the main

By Shepton on October 2, 2022 in Sheptro

‘sup. When rebuilding the site I couldn’t help but notice just how fucking much I ramble on about bullshit and go off on tangents when I write anything. It was kind of a running joke. But I also think it can get pretty annoying when trying to read. So I’ma try an’ cut to the […]

RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE

By Shepton on September 29, 2022 in Bloge

From the charred and useless ashes of our past, the body is restored once more. Like the phoenix of legend we rise again. Okay but I just spent an insane amount of man hours fully and completely restoring this site from nothing. I pulled off several straight up science miracles rescuing this shit from what […]
