Damn, I don’t remember the last time I sat down and played Pikmin through from start to finish. It must have been at least 8 years since I’ve even owned a machine capable of running it. That said, ez game, 30 parts / 12 days only 250 pikmin ded 😎

We will temporarily be pausing Bluesky sign-ups while our team continues to resolve the existing performance issues. We’ll keep you updated when invite codes will resume functionality. We’re excited to welcome more users to our beta soon!
Our systems are currently experiencing some degraded performance as a result of record-high traffic. You may notice some slowness in-app as a result. Our team is working to resolve this issue. You can view our system performance status here: https://status.bsky.app/
