#obscurevideogames

About two weeks ago Tumblr silently made an update to "respect" the Windows accessibility settings for disabling animations, and in the process spare themselves from having to automatically load GIFs on the dash. Instead you would see the word "GIF" over the image and have to click on it to play. This did not apply to WEBP files or custom themes, which is why you might see it inconsistently. It took me awhile to figure out all this, and I started needlessly converting a lot of my GIFs to WEBP to get around it.

Anyhow if you're a Windows user, and you're still having the same problem I was, it's a pretty easy fix.

Windows 10: Open Settings > Ease of Access > Display. Turn on the Show animations in Windows option

First of all, the posts are queued up well in advance, so it’s not their fault that it happened to be posted shortly after Ripping Friends creator John K was outed as an ephebophile.

Secondly, you’re allowed to seperate a creator from their work. That is a thing that you are allowed to do. None of their posts about the game made any mention of John K.

Well I've only played the first one.

This year we're going to revisit Capcom's 1997 beat-em-up Battle Circuit which only came out in arcades in Japan and Europe. Its first official home console (and North American) release was in 2018's Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle. That release was six years after I made these amazing GIFs for it:

The Maze of the Kings (Sega - arcade - 2002)  

Fuuun Gokuu Ninden (Aicom - PSX - 1996)

The Adventure of Little Ralph (New Corporation - PSX - 1999)

SD Hiryuu no Ken (Culture Brain - Super Famicom - 1994)

Waxworks (Horrorsoft - Amiga - 1992)
