Everyone should play Lurruna's EX mode btw, it massively ramps up enemy counts, respawning enemies, enemy speeds & boss attacks making the game truly feel like a run n gun Can unlock it if you hold left + press charge bomb, then by holding charge bomb in the main menu
I knew I was correct in being excited for this game but also this is fucked up
The bar is quickly established as an important hub for work and leisure time, but the game (or fan TL) doesn't pass up an opportunity to poke a bit of fun at its own expense.
Note to self: play Pikmin. I know it features a pretty robust time management/attrition mechanic, so I can't help but wonder, although he doesn't explicitly mention MM next to OoT, if the timer system piqued his interest... ...also something something karma scoring, I guess.
Finished replaying the N64 Zeldas this month. Me and Ocarina still don't get along, it's just one of those things. Majora's first 2 dungeons remain wonderful, then the padding kills it. Still, interesting how seemingly influential it was on my fav video game. Weird this one hadn't hit me earlier:
Microsoft should exit the gaming industry and preferably my plane of existence. If BDS was not enough to convince sideliners, what MS did to id is unforgivable. Perhaps the most important western gaming studio in existence - a historied house of culture and art with genre defining talent.

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

One of the most consistently damaging thought patterns among players is treating skill level as static and games as exams rather than something more like instruments. You walk in with whatever skills you had, you get tested & graded and you walk out. It leads to *a lot* of negative trends
Jude's first original skill in Wild Arms 4 is supposed to be called "Phantom Line", but the US release left out the P by mistake, leaving us with "hantom Line". You can actually fix this yourself since the game lets you rename original skills, but I find hantom Line too amusing to change
THIS IS A BACKSTORY OF THIS SMT3 SHITPOST I'VE DRAWN IN 2 MINUTES AFTER
im literally wheeze laughing look at this picture irina sent. you just know everyone in this pic was 5 seconds from getting their shit rocked
i rly admired 3's story mode's aesthetic. the narrative of the story being that it takes place in the last bunker of humanity, so in order to preserve their culture, they recreated all these nostalgic vistas. but it's melted into architectural-absurdism where none of it logically carries meaning

So they hid the fact he worked on this game for months. Then people pieced it together through gameplay flow, design principles, and information not obvious to the public. Then the devs swore he was a networking guy, THEN it turns out hes THE DIRECTOR. This is Diesel Legacy 2. The same play as that
not only did mike z work on avatar, he had a director role, huh

the "Sonic 1 is actually bad" discourse is a good reminder that "Sega fans" and "Sonic fans" are two distinct circles that have a relatively small degree of overlap

i really hope that the takeaway people have from this is either "no organization is perfect" or "we need to hold GDQ, as a community-based event, to a higher standard" and not We Need To Dismantle The Org That Raises $5 Milion A Year For Charity
