An insane video game-related Lost Media find has quietly popped up on YouTube. Two episodes of "Say Powww!", a 1979 game show about video games that only aired in some markets. People in studio and over the phone played Intellivision (!!) games. Predates Starcade!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=29tJ...

NINTENDO DIRECT ENGLISH V/O: *low register* In a world ruled by dragon blood, a hero must rise and slay Wyverniax… NINTENDO DIRECT ENGLISH V/O: *next slide, in high register* Return to Stinktown with your buddies as you wield the new Megaplunger! But watch out…something reeks!!

this is such BS even while I try to keep my complaining-about-life down because I don't have it as bad as a lot of other people, I *still* occasionally talk about how rough things are right now I haven't had a great couple years, and a lot of people have had it even worse we all admit to struggle

On social media, a broad consensus is that you can’t admit to struggle — at least not while you’re struggling. Doing so represents a failure so profound it’s almost existential. How did it become mandatory to demonstrate perpetual growth and progress online?

every single nintendo direct is written like its advertising the first video game ever made. in this “game of strategy” you can choose to attack with swords [8 second clip of a guy attacking with a sword] or with spells [8 second clip of a guy attacking with a spell]
