Me asking my discord friend group if they want to play a new game with me (it did not work 😔)

I figured the new Fire Emblem would have another timeskip like Three Houses but this one seems ambitious as hell. I can't wait!
As soon as I figure out how to lower the water level, I’m gonna absolutely destroy whatever’s in the Swamp Dungeon.
In response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. More than 100 games for 10+ bucks! Please share widely and donate generously! itch.io/b/3802/game-...
Deus Ex being left at the side of the road stings man
what's everyone else's fab examples of once massively popular and influential landmark titles in especially western games from back in the day that have just been forgotten and abandoned completely now. mine is black and white
It's insane how many people don't know anything about Myst. Myst is the reason we started used discs for computer games, and the game that made mainstream culture start considering video games to be art. It is like more significant to video game history than any film was to film history.
i think one of the biggest underlinings in just how bad the western industry has been about its own legacy is like. myst isnt just an old game. it was final fantasy vii before final fantasy vii. it was that fucking huge.
Saw the Odyssey, was really good! I think video games could learn a thing or two: if you keep stopping to investigate every location n side quest in an open world game instead of focusing on the main quest, eventually a bunch of suitors think your dead & show up to perv on the princess or something
Toby Fox just wrote another crossover fanfiction in honor of Tenna winning the 2026 Tumblr Sexyman Contest, with Danmeshi, like he did when Sans beat Reigen 😭😭 www.tumblr.com/fwugradiatio...

Are you a developer who has put a fishing minigame inside your non-fishing video game? Or are you considered a connoisseur of fishing minigames? OR do you have knowledge of how real-life fishing works and how it might translate to games? I would love to speak to you for a story please!

It’s kind of neat that 14 years ago when I started work at IGN as a contractor, the first assignment I was given was doing a guide for LEGO Batman by myself. This year I led our guides project for LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight with a robust and amazing team.
it's time for my favorite sporting event: sgdq
I’m not very well versed in this kind of terminology, is this the sort of place you’d go and sit in the corner of the room while you watch someone else eat the tandoori you just ordered?
My favorite tracks from Deltarune Ch 5 in no particular order: 🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅 🍃💃 🚶🏡 🌻👱♂️ 🪴🌱🙏🛌💭
Sony: we are getting rid of game discs forever fuck you Microsoft: our next console cant even read game discs fuck you Nintendo: Samus is BACK and BOY, is she HUNGRY
Happened to see this shared elsewhere to the tune of "did not expect ign to be more interested in exploring the game's themes than half the fandom". I'm usually hidden away doing guides, so it's rare I get to write about things that really resonates with me. To see other people Get It... feels nice!
Deltarune Chapter 5 was a blast, and it's ending was not what I was expecting. I decided to write up my thoughts about the chapter and where things seem to be heading to next www.ign.com/articles/del...
It would be, I dunno, really neat if people who made cool things weren't owned by large corporations that operated around a business model of hating that thing.

Deltarune’s Chapter 5 Has Finally Arrived and Its Not What I Expected at All – but the More I Think About It, the More Brilliant It Becomes
Deltarune Chapter 5 may initially seem like "filler", but dig into its nuanced story beats and you'll find a fantastic, unexpected continuation of Kris and Susie's journey.

officially starting my campaign to get @insaneintherainmusic.com to play sax for their deltarune track onstage at the game awards backed by an orchestra
idk man I feel like if you make a game series that runs as long as it did and was pretty successful at it, maybe your leadership needs to sit down and assess what defines "short of expectations". I don't know if the people at the top even know what meeting expectations even looks like anymore.
Now that I'm done, I've drafted up what I feel is somewhat of a close representation of my Deltarune Chapter 5 (NONSPOILER) mood board:
