My site is currently 583MB and the very likely reality that I'm going to run out of storage space soon unless I stop using excessive gifs of gameplay footage in my reviews is killing me hfhdghfjhkj

Don't stop the signal! I use https://ezgif.com/video-to-gif as a really quick and dirty way to resize and reduce quality and file size.

Host your images somewhere else. I've been sing imgbb. Back in the day anytime I ran out of space on geocities I would just register a new account. Alternatively I think you could get away with using archive.org to host images for free. I use archive.org to host a ton of mp3 files for my purposes.

If you want an offline option for GIF optimisation (might be hard to do since it's footage), I recommend gifsicle. For editing the video before turning it into a GIF (like reducing the frame rate or something else) ffmpeg can do that (also offline). Also as jerryscoolpage mentioned, you can host videos on another platform and link to them (YouTube, PeerTube, somewhere else)

Thanks for suggestions everyone! I'm hesitant to host elsewhere since I don't want to run into issues if the image hosting platform goes down or changes hotlinking policies, but I'lll see what options are available if it comes to that. I actually use ezgif already @p7uen!

I don't know how this happened but I always thought I knew what Cave Story was, it turns out I was thinking of a game called Knytt this whole time. Great review!

Knytt is very much of that same era of freeware indies, so makes sense! It's something I need to play through myself some time.

Casually changing contact damage for an entire game seems like a crazy decision to make.

@p7uen Yeah, that summarises why Master System Shinobi feels so odd to me. Level design and enemy design clearly tailored for mechanics that this version of the game doesn't have feels... odd.

I would hazard a guess that the rice paddies were removed because they were too unfamiliar for western audiences, especially in those days.

Thank you! I found you through Jaggiescrapper, another Neocities user I follow, commenting on your page, and I agree with much of their sentiments ahaha

Found you through the Willy Wombat page. Looking at the rest of your site, looks like we share quite a few gaming favourites too! (Klonoa, Sonic, Treasure, etc) Your collections are really impressive

I only just realised that the screenshots I took for Toejam & Earl and Wonder Boy in Monster World through OBS had the video source resolution incorrectly set to 720x576 INSTEAD of the correct 640x480 and that's why the screenshots for those two reviews are so garbage and low quality, because they're badly scaled up to 576p by OBS and scaled back down to 480p, I am so sorry and so mad at myself jhgfkjhgkhjgfuj

Next time I play through both of those games on my own time I'll grab new screenshots to replace the crappy ones (but the gifs will remain untouched)

50 hours of playing Metal Slug. Quite possibly just as much time researching, writing and editing the shrine, if not more. 29 A4 pages of analysis in LibreOffice documents. The Metal Slug Shrine is finally up! https://overclockworked.neocities.org/mslug/

As a result of the size of this update, there may be errors throughout that I missed, as well as things that generally could just use a visual touch-up. Either way, I'm happy to finally be able to share this!

This might be the last update for a while as burn-out is kicking in again. The problem with reviewing Mega Drive games is that they often take just a couple of hours to play through and then I spent an entire day or two writing and coding the review page which gets exhausting fast ahaha. See you all when inspiration next hits!
I love Shinobi! Shinobi X is the game I used to test my saturn with the OSSC
@cartridgeconfidential I'm intending to play through the entire series for Overclockworked up to Shinobi X and I'm really excited to get to that one. The cutscenes are so fun, I don't even consider them "so bad they're good", they're just fun.
Also yes, playing the entire series up to Shinobi X also includes the weird Master System exclusive titles, Alex Kidd in Shinobi World, the Game Gear Shinobi games, and hell, probably also the Amiga conversions. Ninjas are cool, they're worth it.
Alex Kidd in Shinobi world is so good!
I feel like I know so much about Joe Mushashi now. Also unsolicitied advice: I had a go with some of your gifs and if you're willing to sacrifice a little quality, the easiest reduction was to half the size on ezgif and then optimise (use the default setting but bump it up to 50) and they go from 6mb to 1mb. Then we can enjoy 6x more of your gifs!
@p7uen If I can have the gifs be 50% size but then get scaled up by the html code on the website, that would likely work! I'll have to try it out later
