Loki is one of those characters I am so mad got popularized by the MCU because I am sick of him showing up in these competing games and annoying the shit out of me
MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls@marveltokon.bsky.social · 16h agoThink you can outsmart the God of Lies? Loki rewards clever feints, perfectly timed counters, and a sharp eye for your opponent’s habits. But beware! One exposed trick can cost you dearly. Uncover the strategy behind the deception in Loki’s Character Guide. youtu.be/wijKN3P58a8?...
sorry i am still thinking about "go watch gamecenter cx" as an own because it should be illegal to say that to me as someone with an MFA but more importantly a wife
I am depressed they didn't do this. Not even in a scary dream sequence

it was really fun to spar with ken during the beta! I could feel myself quickly learning while we played!!
i’m just ken@shepardcdr.bsky.social · 19h agoMutuals: I’ve got a server for folks playing Marvel Tokon to find rooms and play together if that’s something you’re interested in. hmu. like in a dm or comment. don’t just like the post.
just saying "israel comes to me in my dreams" to make myself laugh
appreciate Johnson calling attention to “language that muddies the waters between interpersonal unpleasantness and structural harm”, how some people that are just jerks that cause social discomfort aren’t actually harmful, and how thinking so limits and impairs what a community can be
I have a lot of thoughts about how people use the word “community” online and this is helping me sort through some of them www.patreon.com/MicaiahJohns...

The first time I fed Sasha she sliced open my hand and bit my leg so hard it bruised. The second time I fed Sasha she hissed and swiped, but

The Fortune's Weave tracks they put out on Nintendo Music just now are great. What a fantastic use case for the app, this should just be a staple part of promoting every Nintendo game imo. Not sure why they only selectively use Nintendo Music in this way
Abram Buehner@abrambuehner.bsky.social · yesterdayOk Fire Emblem looks SERIOUS. Now that's a game that really announces itself. They're calling it the game with the most systems ever. They're calling it the game Abram is most anticipating for the rest of the year. How did they know that
growing increasingly suspicious of HDR as a concept
Is the critical error metacritic prediction order still alive?
Nintendo sent me a copy of Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. A mouthful of a title for a mouthful of a game! Naturally I needed a second mouth to talk about it: youtu.be/O1VWE6m0z0E?...

Couldn’t have prepared for how awesome the finale for Raiders was, even with the enthusiasm among everyone I’m playing with. What a fantastic game. Played for 3 more hours after wrapping and the post-game feels like the real game. Can’t believe Splatoon is one of 2026’s best but it sure is
Jake Steinberg@jakesteinberg.substack.com · 4d agoSplatoon Raiders might have my favorite Nintendo final boss in a long time!!! Really, really fun 🥳
alright how long until I can post openly about Splatoon Raiders spoilers
Don't quote me on this in like 10 years but I think one of the defining issues of the 2020s is "a better world is actually very easy to achieve, the powers that be are just not interested in achieving it."
wishda@wishda.bsky.social · 5d agoThe DSA in Wilmingotn, N.C. has created a "crisis" by putting benches at city bus stops, after literal decades of the city promising and failing to do so.
Yes, hello. Please read my story about how I miss handhelds like the DS and what they did for us, while I also talk to you about lewd games It's, also, an excuse to mention Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood and anthropologist Ashley Montagu Sharing is even more appreciated. Thank you 😌💜
I miss touching my waifu
Handheld games and eroge go hand in hand.

for every decision I love about brand new day there is one and a half decisions I hate, congrats, they did it, they faithfully adapted the experience of reading a spider-man comic
it's instructive to have regular reminders there are people in video game criticism who are allowed to have big, unwieldy, sometimes harsh thoughts about both video games and criticism and those who cannot merely be passionately flawed without also being morally deficient
tangential to Jake’s point here but I think we should stop saying we “beat” games when we finish them. I think games are more dance than contest, although they can appear to be confrontational

once a game goes gold its available for $500 and decreases by $10 every day for like 6 weeks
Abram Buehner@abrambuehner.bsky.social · 5d agoI loved Brand New Day so much I would now pay 250 to have Tokon RIGHT NOW
a writer I really admire gave a shout out to my podcast here 😭😭😭 45:55 🥰🥰🥰 Tevis' work is fundamental to my own citizenship as a critic. I am floored they found something of mine and it resonated. Ahhhh! youtu.be/IhUI-wDVOJc?...
