for some reason this app tried to lock me out for an age check, then just let me in anyway a few hours later??? I am not giving fucking bluesky a shred of docs, place ain't worth it if I vanish off of this platform soon y'all know why
I can't believe I'm saying this, but if calling it a remaster is what it takes to get reprints of old editions of games that deserve it? fine, cool, go full video games industry if you gotta Arkham 2nd Ed is an all-timer and should be perpetually in print, this is a good thing
New zonepost! This goes deeper than the title would imply. I have a nemesis now! wackgameboy.zone/2026/07/27/d...
Deer Hunter (1999)
In which we introduce a unaware nemesis nearly 30 years in the making.

that splatoon raiders game is really something, or more accurately a lot of little things feels less like a traditional looter shooter and more like a super abridged Monster Hunter, but minus crafting? problem is I'm not 100% sure the progression and structure fully gel for me. still fun though!
this is some of the limpest key jingling I've ever seen no one is going to look past xbox's problems because they can finally play fuzion frenzy
🚨BIG Xbox news. Microsoft is launching Xbox backward compatibility for PC today. The initial preview will include 4 original Xbox games on PC, with plans to bring more Xbox console games to PC over time. Full details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/969117/...
I'm a couple hours into AI The Somnium Files and thus far the only thing Date has detected in this alleged detective game is a receptionist's cleavage
my only amendment to this is that I sleeve social deduction/hidden roles (not all the cards in the box necessarily, just the roles) if they are frequently shuffled/passed around otherwise, yeah you almost never need sleeves! it's fine! don't spend 2x the cost of a card game before you even play it!
And why you may want to do the same

played the new @solisgamestudio.bsky.social release, Six-Sided Seas. 2p push your luck with just a bit more decision space than most of those. 3 win conditions (money, glory, violence) seems like a lot, but the game is a whole 20 mins so it doesn't overwhelm. super charming, fits in a playmat tube!
Xbox news is as horrible as expected, but my biggest takeaway is them wanting to up user counts from a billion a year to a billion a day that's the kind of insanity that doesn't normally escape the slide deck we're just making up numbers, saying them aloud, and calling it Leadership (tm)
played and enjoyed the new addition of Samurai, Hanami! the game is as excellent as ever, but I question these power cards. they're wildly uneven in power, and one (pictured) doesn't even work as-is (there aren't 1 power player tiles in those types) happy with the game but will be ignoring those
animal plane game opinions! while it sacrifices some of the charm of the original, I would be lying if I said this wasn't the best playing Star Fox game we've had also Slippy has had such a glowup it's honestly incredible backloggd.com/u/Vysetron/r...

all I'll say about the sony news is that today is an excellent day to expand your rom sets
Happy to announce that www.warppoint.games now features a few more opinions about Game Boy games! Super jazzed about this project. I've already found some great writers and sites on WP, I bet you would too!
finally had time to bang out a playthrough of the new Star Fox, played the same route for comparison I'm a bit mixed on it? it plays great, and it makes several changes that I'd overall say are positive (Slippy rules now!), but it def lacks some charm and the performances are a bit too reserved
Not fully back in the writing swing (moving cross country is hard!), but I played the new Star Fox demo and had to return for a sanity check. backloggd.com/u/Vysetron/r...
Donkey Kong '94 is one of the greatest games to ever be slotted into a Super Game Boy. My friends and I talked about it for an hour (post-edit!), and it's WGBZ's new #1. Even the most GB-skeptical should play this one. wackgameboy.zone/2026/06/25/d...
Donkey Kong (1994)
The inevitable, and likely not final, crossover episode.

been playing old Star Foxes in prep for the new one (not Adventures, too long) and I've realized that if I do a ranked piece I'd be immediately accused of rage baiting related, god Star Fox Command is so damn good. the true Star Fox 3, a game with New Ideas, almost all of which work!

So I played that new demo. It seems good and all, Netflix adaptation vibes notwithstanding, but I had to go back. Refamiliarize, recontextualize. Make sure the lenses aren't nigh-opaque from red tint,...

3 Witches (@coreyyoung.com, @allplay.bsky.social) hearkens back to peak of the microgame era, packing a tightly-wound 2v1 trick taker into an entire 18 cards. Sabotaging a group project has rarely felt so vindicating. pixeldie.com/2026/06/10/3...

I love making stupid youtube videos about card games bc it means I get to make stuff like this
yet another independent games media site built around maintaining editorial control and having any standards whatsoever crumpled for a game their core audience likely doesn't care about, then immediately followed up with an AI slop book-sorting game despite all good sense cool and good, nice job

second thought - it's incredibly rich that BGG's content policy is being set and upheld by the guy who publicly posted about how jesus helped him recover from 20+ years of jacking off that's not a joke, that actually happened, you can still read it here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/puz...

"I denied your ad request on BGG because I spend my free time curing demonic possession, and also I think you shouldn't publish your game which I think you made in ignorance of the real depravity of Satan and his works" is a fucking insane thing to write in an email www.reddit.com/r/boardgames...
extremely normal day for the remaining BGG jannies tbh
