Gonna be the oldest person at Underscores tonight lfg

I should be recording episode 054 but instead I went out and recorded episode 055.

We, the proud few, the Zelda Notes stans ✊

This Week in Videogames - TWIV@thisweekinvideogames.com · 6d ago

Over a decade since Nintendo tried to second-screen its games with the Wii U, @omgmorejames.bsky.social finds small joys in the frivolous fun of Zelda Notes, a mobile app that tracks your Ocarina of Time remake playthrough and encourages deeper exploration of its gorgeous world.

I talked about Yokai and Japanese ghost towns in my episode on PMA, but this (OBVIOUSLY) is much better. Go read!

NEW STOP CARING ESSAY IS LIVE! @percypropa.bsky.social joins the site to write about Promise Mascot Agency, yokai, and what happens when the mundane meets the paranormal/weird. Would be so kind of you to read and share. www.stopcar.ing/promised-yok...

Many things can be true at once

Listen to this to ease my anxiety at having still not finished writing 054

Weird that this is the first time I’ve laid eyes on this in nearly 30 years

I’m sure some people will be down on the voice acting but now we finally know the canonical pronunciation of this

What is Roman Sands RE:Build, and what does @arbitrarymetric.bsky.social’s version of the end of the world look like? A clip from episode 053 of Dialogue Tree, featuring developer @jessiscah23.bsky.social on the vision behind their game. LISTEN ⬇️

Aura farming. Face five Space Ninjas who battle and devour warriors for their power in Metroid Ravenous, available Jan 28 on Nintendo Switch 2.

Walked to my local game store. Sound on.

Like a year after I picked it up I’m finally playing Motion Rec and I’m in love

Yeah definitely pal except a hammer doesn’t kill the earth to make nor does the act of making the hammer drive the price of hammer parts into the sky

Andy Weir, the author of The Martian and Project Hail Mary, has spoken out about AI, saying, "If I give you a hammer, you can build a house or you can murder someone. It's not the tool that's the issue; it's the user." https://bit.ly/4iUN2SN

Check me in. Fetch my pills. Examine these organs. A trailer for episode 053 of Dialogue Tree, a feature on Roman Sands RE:Build and interview with one of the creators, @jessiscah23.bsky.social.

I thought this one was the opposite of digestible, but I’ll take the compliment. Go watch Static Canvas: youtube.com/@buliaros18-...

Just listened to this episode, a great brief history on Musashi Miyamoto and some wider thoughts on Capcom's latest demon slaying samurai romp, all packaged in a brilliantly digestible format

Happy halloween, weirdos. If you want to get freaky today, you could do worse than treating yourself to this @arbitrarymetric.bsky.social double bill bundle of horrors: store.steampowered.com/bundle/88517... Paratopic is a queasy nightmare. Roman Sands is a psychedelic fever dream. Sleep well.

Few new followers in the last 24 hours, who I can only assume are a kind of curious weirdo (complimentary) enticed in by the coverage of Roman Sands RE:Build. Hi there! Want more of this on a manageable amount of other platforms? Sure you do. Instagram YouTube Your eyes and ears are appreciated.

Various work and life things prevented me from putting as much time into this episode as I wanted, but I don't think it mattered, all because of @jessiscah23.bsky.social.

Trapped in paradise. No exit. Roman Sands RE:Build, the genre hopping service industry nightmare sim built on a broken vaporwave dream engine from @arbitrarymetric.bsky.social, is funny, fraught and terrifying. On episode 053, I talk to director and programmer @jessiscah23.bsky.social all about it.

It's the Dialogue Tree version of a Halloween episode tomorrow. No monsters, no gore, just existential crises and inevitable entropy wrapped in a collapsing vaporwave dreamscape, and a cool interview with a cool person. A few things to think about: youtu.be/VSpaAUmey88?...

Highly recommend checking this out podcast. We recently covered Onimusha and some of its cultural context around Toshiro Mifune's depiction of Miyomoto Musashi. But Dialogue Tree gets deep into the weeds of Musashi's past here, part media critique, part history lesson.

The lone samurai, and the road to Reigandō. Episode 052 of Dialogue Tree is about Capcom's Onimusha: Way of the Sword. But really, it's about the protagonist of that game, what the developer doesn't tell you about him, and what that says about them and their games. Two blades, two sides. LISTEN ⬇️
