I play a LOOOOT of video games :: She/Her :: 26yo :: Fav Game Super Metroid :: Certified Kyodai :: CBM Fan :: I MISS GRAVITY RUSH 🐈‍⬛ ::

Definitely think Splatoon Raiders is a GoTY contender for me lol. At the very least, it'll probs end up being my favorite non-remake Nintendo game this year by a landslide lol. Praying Nintendo continues this formula and improves on it in future entries.

I don’t want this point to be lost in the discourse. Going digital-only means inequity for people who cannot afford internet or constantly purchasing new games. Libraries provide opportunities for people to experience games they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford, and that will be lost.

My child loves going to the library and checking out a new video game every week. Going digital only eliminates libraries as a way people can access games.

Fucking bullshit. An industry where you can put out a well respected game and still get your studio shuttered is a deeply broken and corrupt industry. Remember back then tons of ppl were huffing BS abt Microsoft giving these devs financial stability such utter horseshit.

Xbox Is Planning To Shutter Peabody Award-Winning Compulsion Games https://kotaku.com/xbox-shuttering-south-of-midnight-peabody-award-compulsion-games-2000706065

The way people cheer for and celebrate this corporation, not the developers, the brand itself, has really turned me off from some creators. The BDS list, the dangerous levels of consolidation, the mass layoffs, and people still treat it as their favourite sports team.

Sorry, maybe I shouldn't say this but ahahah. I am very angry. So I went to Xbox's Fan Fest event to attend a preview event. And it was the most flagrant display of wealth imaginable. Five stories filled with caterers and hundreds of smiling faces there to assure me of the brand's strength.

I would love a return to exclusives for Xbox, but imo I think putting their first party games Day 1 on Games Pass is something they should seriously change. Releasing games to other platforms imo always felt like a way to compensate for the Games Pass loss in sales for certain games.

Everything abt the snow area in Mina seriously blew me away. The setpieces, the mini boss fights, the platforming, the atmosphere and the AMAZING final boss in the area. To think I stumbled into this level completely accidentally lol. It rlly feels like I found my standout level.

This can’t be a logical way to run a gaming division, by being surface-level reactionary to your biggest fanboys and stuffing a lollipop in their mouths whenever they cry out.

I learned that if I'm scrolling youtube and I see a track from some random ass Sega arcade game from the 90s appear on my feed, I'm about to listen to the most raw shit imaginable.

I've always wanted to see Rahul Kohli in more media and I'm super happy this dude is in like a real ass video gamey ass video game like if I was an actor who wanted to be in a game w my likeness, this is the fucking one honestly.
