Nintendo is like your grandma who keeps improving on the same recipe she's been using since she was in her 40s. Unless ur a Project M fan, which in that case she committed a hate crime against you years ago and you still haven't forgiven her
Keith Stack@keithstack.com · 17h agoWeird to think back to the GameCube-era sentiment that Nintendo was fading out of relevance and ought to go third party. Now it feels like they're the only console maker anyone is enthusiastic about! Is anyone actually excited about the future of PlayStation or Xbox?
I’m glad to see people talk about how indie animation fans/critics only seem to acknowledge the same popular shows because it’s been something that’s been frustrating me for a while I don’t think indie animation is above critique, but I wish critics didn’t treat indie animation as homogenous
I am steaming boiling pissed about the paint dot net situation but my workload is so fucking reliant on it I can't just up and quit using it just gonna have to turn off updates I guess. thank god it's free
Here's a few more from our event! #shiftaverse #shiftaspunner
ShiftaVerse@shiftaverse.bsky.social · 2d agoHave you heard of Rootspread? It's one of our more intricate modifiers, where tons of different franchises have their places swapped in history in various ways! We had a HUGE event for them last month, and we're gonna be having our next dedicated day on 9/25!! #shiftaverse #shiftaspunner
Finally got off my ass & partake in this thingie I've been meaning to do for quite sometime!

Knoebel don't ask me to attend any event for the next 350 days@knoebel.bsky.social · 3d agoBeavis And Butt-Head creator Mike Judge informed Paramount about his intention to reclaim the rights of the series which he is legally allowed to after 35 years. kotaku.com/mike-judge-t...
Did you know? In The Simpsons: Hit & Run, Homer Must collect all Gems
people keep repeating "if buying isn't owning piracy isn't theft" like a shibboleth in these but it's largely irrelevant and unthreatening because you cannot meaningfully pirate ps5 games. this is because there are no ps5 games.
VGC@videogameschronicle.com · 2d agoSony says "reasonable consumers" know they don’t own the digital PlayStation games they buy. It argues that it's "not plausible" to suggest that when they buy a digital game they actually believe they're "obtaining ownership" of it. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/sony-sa...
A new and excitingly different approach...

I remember when DLSS was supposed to improve performance, not cut it in half.
PC Gamer@pcgamer.com · 2d agoNvidia says turning DLSS 5 on will currently reduce performance by 50-60%. And that's across the board—no matter the game.
I would 100% support a law that says if any digital platform removes your access to media you paid for then they are required to refund you the entirety of the original purchase price. That would solve this whole thing in a hurry.
Dexerto@dexerto.bsky.social · 3d agoSony has responded to a digital games lawsuit by arguing that players don't actually own the games they buy Its lawyers say they are licensed rather than sold

Recognize this iconic spot? Decades later, the buried E.T. copies of the infamous 1983 video game crash have sprouted into their very own E.Tree! Failure has never looked so beautiful.
"reasonable consumers" is about as bad as "don't you have phones" or "we have a product for them called the xbox 360," jesus. never insinuate your customers are irrational, are you kidding lol

One of the biggest graphical bottlenecks the #NES suffered from was its restrictive color palette The NES had about 54 unique colors for sprites & backgrounds, but only a fraction could actually be used at once With access to the full palette, things could've looked borderline 16-bit #retrogaming
