Overclockworked now has a mirror! Kindly hosted by my friends at the Cleft of Dimensions MUD. Aside from simply being a backup, it's my intention to eventually get this mirror of the site Classilla/Mac OS 9 compatible, though it's not QUITE working 100% on OS 9 just yet. For everyone using modern web browsers though, no issues! https://overclockworked.cleftofdimensions.net

To further clarify, the Neocities version of the site will continue to be updated alongside the Cleft version, and I'll remain active on this site and on these activity feeds.

Working on something big for the site! It'll be a while before it's ready, but my next shrine is well underway for an arcade game I've been dedicating myself to practising for the past few weeks; Metal Slug 1. I hope to provide similarly obsessive attention to detail as I have with the Blood shrine with this!

I started playing Metal Slug as a way to unwind on hiatus (because I'm a freak and practising 1CC runs of really hard arcade games is how I relax) and then it turned into the next project for the site ahaha. Still, a change of pace!

Thanks for the follow! Just read your review on Golf Story partially because the intro resonates with me (Mini Golf is SO much more interesting and less of an ecological nightmare) though I have also guiltily enjoyed a few golf games myself despite thinking the sport irl is blegh. Everybody's Golf on PSP was my main one, ahaha. Really enjoyed your review!

Creative burn-out is kicking in, so I think it's time to take a hiatus for a bit and unwind. Thanks for reading all, will be back when inspiration hits again!

Immediately smiled at the use of Realmz music on the main page. Loving the vibe here! DROD incidentally is on my to-play list, I'm big into those kinds of puzzle games (Lemmings addict)

Hahaha thanks! Found the soundtrack from The Obscuritory and loved the hell out of it... Forgot where I heard about DROD though, but good lord I'm sad it seems so obscure, especially since it's a 30+ year old series that's still getting games.

New blog update, sharing my thoughts on generative AI (I don't like it): https://overclockworked.neocities.org/blog/2026/18-1/

As I mentioned in the post itself, this is a bit dryer and more cynical than my usual stuff. If you're not feeling yet another AI rant, you might want to skip this. A new review is in the works and nearly finished, so more fun content is on the way soon!

I agree with this review a lot, I hate how people are misusing AI to replace rather than its intended purpose, which I still would not use because I don't wanna. I do want a petition to call AI "artists" AI commissioners because their way of making their "art" is more similar to commissioning an artist (the only difference is that the "artist" is GenAI) than drawing.

pixelglade's avatar pixelglade 2 months ago

I agree with this. I also hate how genAI and AI are bundled together. A lot of old machine learning algorithms that don't pirate people's data are lumped in there. It doesn't help that genAI users claim things like "technology is always advancing art like photoshop, there's just an adjustment period" like they are in any way equivalent in terms of how they work.

@pixelglade There's a Taiko no Tatsujin game on Steam that has an AI content disclaimer because it uses Vocaloid songs, and it was when I first saw that that I realised just what a mess this whole AI terminology has become, since Miku is harmless!

I used those robots.txt files from Neocities since htey were available but Google still has me (but says I provide guided meditations based on games which... actually now I really want to do). My question is why are those people writing/arting/whatever if the computer is doing the creative bit. Literally the whole point is that is your unique voice! Oh well.

overclockworked's avatar overclockworked 2 months ago

@p7uen Yeah, seems Google also still has AI summaries of me last time I checked after adding robots.txt. It's minor, but my main objection is the emphasis of the AI summary to emphasise nostalgia when summarising my site. I consciously try to avoid getting hung up on nostalgia when writing for my site, plus most of the games I review I'm playing for the first time! Ah well.

@p7uen I have become numb to Egg, I can handle it now. I give Fantasy World Dizzy a Not Treasure Island Dizzy out of 10.

I'm too weak for shmups, but I did learn about euro shooters, I didn't know about that sub-genre!

overclockworked's avatar overclockworked 2 months ago

@p7uen They're an intimidating genre for sure! My love of arcade games has made me a fan however, if a somewhat casual one. Sometimes practicing a tough arcade game for better high scores is weirdly comforting to me, in spite of the difficulty.

Additionally, I have added a couple of links to two previous posts that a mutual linked me on Discord, both relevant to subjects covered on this site. First off is a beta source port of Realmz ( https://github.com/Realmz-Castle/realmz ) and secondly is an article about gaming history across the world in different regions ( https://felipepepe.medium.com/the-gentrification-of-video-game-history-dfe11f1e08ae )

Great stuff, I remember playing this a bit back in the day. Were the soft locks just a way of making the game 'harder' and extending the play time

Thank you for your writing and for the fun collab this year. I can see now that I missed so many of your posts at the beginning of the year so I have some great lunch break reading to look forward to in 2026. Happy new year!

Updates may slow for a while. I ordered a RAM expansion for my Amiga for Christmas and I'm most likely going to want to wait until that arrives before I extensively play more Amiga stuff. My poor 600 is struggling with 2MB of RAM, which isn't really enough to run most HD installed games!

Top Tip: This Christmas, avoid the extortionately high RAM prices by buying RAM from 30 years ago!
