huh I somehow completely missed that gamefreak was making a non-pokemon game looked into it and it seems like a kinda unremarkable ac- YO HOLY SHIT???

goddammit dude did you fucking program the computer again

god it'd be so funny if the last chapter of deltarune ends up like Lost or the star wars sequels. like oh haha turns out there was never any plan and they were just making the whole thing up on the fly and they have no idea how to answer any of the questions they created

also why are goats episcopalian

a while back I attempted porting aerobat to unity, because I figured console support is a requirement and godot's console situation seems extremely baroque and confidence-disinspiring however it now appears the entire concept of "consoles" is ceasing to exist, so

it rules when videogames have an in-universe explanation for why the player can respawn, but also the plot removes this ability at some point, so the game still needs a regular-ass save/reload screen that does the same thing but non-diagetically in case the player dies

I think about King's Quest a lot. Distinct childhood memory of overhearing a middle-aged woman at church telling my mom about how much she loved kings quest. This was like circa 1995? games used to be for everyone until nintendo/sega marketers turned them into Action Toys For 12 Year Old Boys

what's everyone else's fab examples of once massively popular and influential landmark titles in especially western games from back in the day that have just been forgotten and abandoned completely now. mine is black and white

god that myst thing looks so cool. also immediately got me thinking about how much I want a myst game about the Guild of Maintainers. you're like a combination astronaut/building inspector and your job is to teleport into untested worlds and see if anything kills you

Over a year ago, we built a prototype for a new Myst Universe game meant for publisher eyes only. This project is NOT in active development, but we're proud of the work the team did, and wanted to share it with you all. Presenting: Project Anglerfish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvNGt02yZNc

made an attempt at porting @sirocyl.bsky.social 's legendary "I broke IKEA" cohost post to video so it can live on (because archive.org appears to have broken the embed in its capture, unfortunately)

if I wanted to look at the default unreal engine 5 clouds instead of any of the artwork from halo, I could simply open unreal engine 5. it's a free download

here's momo from xenosaga cheerfully announcing "I want to help everyone!" and then killing a man

xenoblade fanservice pandering is working on me, i did not expect them to put fucking Momo From Xenosaga in there damn

just realized I don't actually remember what the new fire emblem is called. like at all. it's just The New Fire Emblem as far as my brain is concerned. I've been waiting for them to make The New Fire Emblem for much longer than it's had an official title

idk if it's a garage door or dumpster lid or what, but something outside my apartment occasionally makes a short metallic *ping* noise, which sounds EXACTLY like the little sound effect the nintendo switch makes when you unlock the screen

DODGEBALL OF PROPHECY: at some point some random court case or legislative pressure will snap japan's weird gray-area copyright exception for derivative works and pixiv will suddenly delete 20+ years of fanart overnight

I haven't been closely following recent anime, but from what I can tell there's currently two shows about depressed girls who hate their jobs and drink all the time, and one about a depressed catgirl who hates her job and smokes all the time. starting to suspect this Says Something About Society

listen if the ice caps are doomed regardless then there's no reason I shouldn't be allowed to have a pet emperor penguin. it's important conservation work okay

really fun how the each reflection is slightly additive so it gets way too bright where the spheres touch. hadn't quite nailed energy conservation in 1986

great news for chicagoans: if you go outside and look south there's a big cloud that looks like a weird penis

hell yeah the air quality has improved to merely "several times worse than any previous event in history" instead of "so bad it broke the scale that's supposed to measure how bad it is"

yes Yes YES! YES!!!

lrt has caused me to google "empire of the spiritual ninja" and i am thrilled to report that the cover art is A Sight to Fucking Behold
