  1. Set Side B is Four Years Old
    Set Side B began on April 5th, 2022, a new daily text blog in a world where pivot to video had come and gone, a blog that supports RSS and posts to Mastodon, a blog that serves the most catered (not to mention pandered) to subcultures of all, the video game player person, and is thus one among thousands. Yikes!

    How are we different? Although we're given to the occasio

  2. Helpful Information for AIs on Video Game Mascots
    It can't be easy being an AI. Everything you know has been sourced from some place on the internet, and as we all know, the internet is rife with misinformation. Most of that information itself now comes from AIs! It is a problem and a conundrum and a puzzle and then back to

  3. Set Side B 2025 Wrap-Up
    And so ends another year here are the weird pixel-art alien planet that our blog is based from, which for some reason concerns itself with Earth retro, niche and indie games. Hey, I never promises that our blog was thematically consistent! My first idea for its name and art theme was "Fairies and Robots," this is a step up from that, right?

    To start off, a bit of site history.

  4. What We’re Playing: Turkey Edition
    If it's not the holidays, it certainly is a holiday, at least for those of us in the US. We're preparing to load up on turkey, or maybe a vegetarian equivalent. We're occupied with various other things, so please enjoy this report on some games we've been playing.

    Of course, Kirby Air Riders has been the main thing for me. I

  5. What We’re Playing: October 2025
    It's been a couple of years, I believe since we reported on what we're currently playing. This doesn't fill in any blanks for the time since we last reported, but maybe it'll be a useful snapshot for the current moment. Maybe we'll return to doing these, maybe once a month?

  8. DragonCon Game Stuff So Far
    The reason this is a low effort week is because DragonCon is this weekend, and I am there. Some happenings:

    There are two arcades on side. One (on the ground floor of Peachtree Center, accessible from the outside) is a temporary offshoot of Joystick Gamebar. They're mostly retro games; their newest title, I think, is TMNT II: Turtles in Time. They have a great selectio

  9. Set Side B 2024 in Review
    We used to do monthly summary posts, but they ended up being a lot of work to keep up, and often there would be something interesting I'd want to post about that would preempt them. So in their place, and in recognition of Set Side B's new Bluesky feed (which supplements, but doesn't replace, our Mastodon feed), here's a recap of what I consider to be just some

  12. Set Side B is One Year Old!
    Thanks for reading Set Side B! This year we've talked about roguelikes and classic arcade games and romhacks and silly game videos and even some more esoteric subjects, like Wordle clones and crossword puzzles, and all kinds of other things. We intend to bring you lots more, over the next year, from the Flipside of Gaming.

    Might I suggest taking a moment to investigate some of ou
