I use Markdown in Bluesky posts on these off chance that *someday* someone will make a client that parses Markdown.

Eat your papusas, Apollo.

Utterly fascinated and thrown for a loop when someone posts a screenshot of a game I play all the time but its in a different language. Just a sea of Zs and umlauts.

MonHun Stories 2 has an incredible mechanic where if your party is strong enough that there's no way you can lose a battle unless you actively work against yourself, you can just press both triggers and insta-win the battle.

I’m playing Monster Hunter Stories 2. I love how even though this game is the “monsters are my friends” version, you’re still hunting monsters for crafting mats. Nice to see the series keep its identity, haha. My Rider is cute af, and the music rocks. Hope to knock this one out before MHS3.

Eri from Metal Slug 💪

Spontaneanation is one of my all-time favorite podcasts. PFT really did something incredible here. The interviews were great and the improv was sooo funny. Throw it in your podcatcher and listen to *any* episode. I promise you’ll love it.

I posted this rant when I was staying up way too late. Had been watching the Panel trudge through investigating some genAI submissions and started to feel angry on their behalf. Extremely pleased to see such a huge response on this post. Not a single instance of a shitty AI-guy trying to “debate.”

“It’s like comparing apples and oranges.” OH MY GOD. - They’re both fruits. - They both grow on trees. - They’re both used to make extremely popular juices. SHUT UP.

Son will now ask to listen to Holst’s Jupiter because of that one episode of Bluey. “Bingo music??” Amazing.

There’s a lot of horny Hollow Knight/Silksong fanart—which is fine, whatever floats your boat—but I feel like there should be an equal amount of fanart depicting them as Kamen Riders.

Updated to iOS 26 and I love Liquid Glass. Looks cool af.

We don’t want AI slop. Stop sending us AI slop. Stop wasting our time with AI slop. It doesn’t sound good. It’s antithetical to our core values. You didn’t even make it. Knock it off.

It is amusing to think that 40 years ago we had a nationwide panic to stop kids from playing Satanic RPG's that would warp their mind, when what we should have been doing was hunting down and destroying high school debate clubs with the ferocity of a Butlerian jihad.

I really gotta get a Switch 2. Air Riders and MP4 may as well be coming out tomorrow.

Was teaching a kid about major scales today and he lost his goddamn mind when he realized that “do re mi…” was the same thing.

Guy posts some screenshot of Google’s AI fucking something up and all I can think is “hey guy *stop using Google*”

Mega Man Star Force Collection getting announced is the most exciting thing that happened this week.

Not much of a Fire Emblem guy but I might get that new one based on the trailer music alone.

I play a lot of Live Service games but I'm rapidly approaching the point where the only seasonal content I'm interested in is The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons.

I was they’d do a Switch 2 patch for Age of Calamity.

Nothing to wow me on the new iPhones. Let’s see what they come up with next year. Maybe a foldable? Until then, the 14 Pro will suffice.

Happy Birthday to the Dreamcast, one of the finest consoles to ever grace humanity’s collective living room.

Look, everyone bags on these because of the weird gendered marketing angle but I have read *too many stories* of guys having horrific bathroom hygiene so *anything* that gets the bros clean down there is a win. And if pumpkin spice is what it takes, let it be.

I’m a long time, established hater of the term “Metroidvania” but hooboy you all need to cool it with “Search Action.”

Get a job. #FinalFantasy

disregard hardship count blessings

Has anyone made a true spiritual successor to Sonic Spinball? Please respond only if you played a lot of Spinball as a kid and understand how it's very different from a bog-standard pinball video game.

HAPPY SILKSONG DAY! New, FREE EP: A Knight (for a Knight) knight.ocremix.org PLEASE TAG fellow Hollow Knight fans! @damonzmusic.bsky.social's 4-track tribute to @christopherlarkin.bsky.social's amazing score to the first game! Features his mom, cellist Christine Giguère + art by Annie Doyon! GET!

I want a non-combat video game that’s full of docile giant monsters. Like skyscraper scale kaiju but they’re like, chill. I dunno what the game is about.

Exciting news! My latest album, "Final Fantasy Relaxing Harp Music, Vol. 1," is now up on streaming platforms! 🎶 The album is a collection of 16 calming FF songs, performed on the harp 💙 I'll post the tracklist and links below. Hope you all enjoy ✨️

Thinking about going.

I know you've all seen YoshiP's statement linked a hundred times over and yes, I'm going to do it again, but I'm going to also provide my insight as a web developer to explain why these things are big deals. 🧵about me being a nerd about my career. na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/to...

It took a while but after playing years and years of Diablo 3 and 4, this season (S9) was the first season that the gearing aspect of buildcraft clicked for me. I used to just be a Green Number guy but this time I’m actually paying attention to modifiers and chasing specific affixes.

This is only a small example of how Stormblood is one of the few games that *actually* examines colonial trauma and shows *why and how* an Empire is evil. Other media rarely ever stretches beyond depicting an imperialism as cartoon villainy.

Happy Labor Day. Celebrate those who fought and suffered for the workers’ protections we have today by unionizing.

Begging my Toku friends to watch “Red Ranger Becomes and Adventurer In Another World.” It’s based on a manga but it’s FULLY REALIZED as an anime because as a show it’s able to do all of the extremely genre-accurate sound design. Excellent sentai and rider love letter. crunchyroll.com/series/G8DHV...

Can’t sleep. Too busy manifesting.

Over 20 years later and people to this day lose their shit over “Ancient Hero” and all I can think when I listen to it is “the tambourine is too loud.”

Welp, it's started. We're starting to see AI slop being submitted to OCR and now our Judges Panel has the unenviable task of having to listen to this shit and identify it. I made a statement about this a while ago but we're codifying it in the submission standards now.

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

I feel every word of this article in my soul, because I have one.

One day I wanna see a "second generation" style follow-up to a fantasy/sci-fi series about kids where none of the romantic relationships in the first series survive and all the partners and spouses of the grownup characters are brand-new people they all met as adults.

More E33 doodles ;u;

Cecil Harvey yet again 💕 #finalfantasy #ffiv

A thing can’t be “so peak.” Peak is superlative. It’s a Boolean value. It has no scale or degrees.

Wish FFXIV had an actual mobile client.

Holy crap.
