First day as a Nintendo Counselor and I’m immediately transferred to the Wiggling Penis Division.
Dexerto@dexerto.bsky.social · 22h agoAngry parents flooded Nintendo with years of complaints over an Animal Crossing statue they thought looked like a "wiggling penis" The calls became so common that Nintendo created an internal script to handle the complaints

The one caveat I’d add is that the bottom dropping out of the RAM market is going to be sudden and completely without warning. These companies telling you to panic-buy their products now aren’t doing it for transparency, they’re getting while the getting’s good.

I’m sure Big Walk is fine but I don’t think a game has ever screamed “This was conceptualized during Covid” quite as clearly as this does and it makes the whole thing feel weird to me.
The Game Industry Hardship Fund is now officially halfway to its goal…AGAIN?! That’s right! Y’all have shown so much generosity that the fund has DOUBLED its goal! The first milestone’s been hit, so it’s on to the next one! #indiegame #indiedev itch.io/b/3802/game-...
Genuinely, the only thing that makes me prefer Steam to Itch is that with Itch I have no analytics for how many people are actually playing my game, just how many people have downloaded it. Combined with Itch not surfacing reviews (so people don’t bother leaving them) and it’s pretty…lonely, tbh.
Ugh, why do my teammates never use their Showstoppers? …Oh.
I've played a few auto-chess type games in my time, but I think How Many Dudes finally cracks the formula. There's no unit placement, no inventory management. It's all macro, no micro, and that's greatly to the game's benefit. Also Zombies + Chefs is busted as hell.
The Game Industry Hardship Fund reached half its goal in only two days! …Of course, that goal’s just a worst-case scenario. To really make a dent, we’re gonna need as much money as possible! Who wants 100+ indie games to play this weekend?! #indiegame #indiedev itch.io/b/3802/game-...

Endacopia is cute but I don't think it's my kind of game. It's so open-ended and gives you so many threads that it kind of necessitates keeping your own notes in a txt file and I just...never want to do that in a game.
Games of the “Would Kill a Medieval Peasant Instantly” genre.
Hey, if you enjoyed my game New Meat on Steam (or even if you didn’t), maybe leave a review! Someone recently deleted their review of the game, so we’re currently down one, and every one (good or bad) helps the game be seen by more people! #indiedev #indiegame

And that’s credits on Splatoon Raiders. I have complicated feelings about this one. I think it’s an amazing game…in its last third, but has some frustrating structural flaws that make getting there a slog. I feel like a lot of people will bounce off early with good reason.
Ohhhh, interesting! Weird, but…sure. I guess that explains it.
Winnie@outerwinnie.es · 2w agoThey are real players, the game anonymize the names.
I think the weirdest thing about Splatoon Raiders is that I’ve seemingly never been matched with humans in co-op. Like, every time I’m matched with people that have very obvious bot names but I don’t…know why you would do that in a game like this. Is no one playing co-op but me?
I never thought I would make this comparison, but the game that Splatoon Raiders is making me think of this most is Agents of Mayhem. Which is to say, they're both games with great ideas around the edges that share the same fundamental problem: They're loot games where the loot is boring.
Splatoon Raiders is neat. Kind of a slow build-up to start, but I'm interested to see where it goes. Definitely another one from the post-BOTW "Systems Era" of Nintendo, though not nearly to the extent of something like Bananza.
The thing people forget (or conveniently leave out) about the Horse Armor thing is that it happened at the height of World of Warcraft’s popularity. I distinctly remember people saying that the problem with Horse Armor was the fact that you couldn’t show it off in a single-player game.
Remap Radio@remapradio.bsky.social · 2w agoRemember Horse Armor?
One of the best lessons Palworld learns from Breath of the Wild (and even moreso Tears of the Kingdom) is the way it actually uses the scale of its open world to challenge the player. Physical distance and elevation are genuine Problems to be solved in this game, unlike so many like it.
