important PSA:

Mitch McConnell is obviously still alive because otherwise they'd have just bequeathed his lands and powers to his closest blood heir *because apparently the US just operates like that now* So there'd be no reason to pretend.

Things that blew you away in old games because they were so "next gen" that, more often then not, no one actually bothers doing in modern games because it's wasted effort. Persistent bullet holes in walls. Goldeneye did that on the N64. Nathan Drake's clothing actually getting wet in water. Etc.

this is you in meta’s pervert glasses

Man. Should I go see The Odyssey? Haven't gone to a theatre since well before covid. But Odysseus is my life long guy 🤔

A dedicated RPG player started his vacation to a popular California tourist destination in the only way he knew how. paletteswap.site/dif...

Fucking on the arcade floor sofa tonight

Though I'm glad they won and get to do their silly version of it, the parody version of Infowars is still just excruciating to sit through 😅 Like holy shit. Full marks for accuracy I guess. But it hurts to think that there's sincere versions of this shit out there that people eat right up. Gross.

In a moment of depression fueled insanity I purchased the videogame worlds hottest and most popular release at like 12 am last night. It's name is... *checks notes* Star Ocean The Divine Force? From 2022 with a BLISTERING 44% on Open Critic It's kind of neat. I bet I'll like it more then FF16.

Alec Baldwin was in a Final Fantasy. Never forget.

The Xenosaga Ep2 redesigns are so cursed. KOS-MOS in particular looks *crazy* when you translate a super cartoony robot lady into something trying to approach a more "realistic" art style 😬

I know people seem to really Iike those Xenoblade games, I've touched 1 and 2 a little bit, they're perfectly cromulent jrpgs. And I've heard that they are supposedly connected to the other Xeno games as well. But I never hear people talk about the content of 'Blade in the same way as the others.

Some people will refuse to try games in a genre they say they love if the game doesn't have a familiar IPs name on the box. The same people will then talk about how great mods are and download any randos work into their game. I think this deserves unpacking.

Astalon is so good. It's always mildly tragic when something so top shelf gets so overlooked. But c'est la vie. More good art then time in the day you know.

34° is too many degrees. Like... It's fine. It's livable. But it's getting there. RIP to all of you closer to the equator. I'm relatively far north 😵‍💫

In my old age I have come to realize the truth that Root Beer is the only acceptable kind of soda. Grapefruit and maybe Ginger Beer as charity case stand ins.

Sam Neill should have won an Oscar for this “help I’m being attacked by an invisible Chevy Chase” scene with a stupid looking plastic gun taped to the side of his head

The podcatcher I use is suddenly pulling tons of ads for some reason. Wish I knew why. It just sort of almost never did ads for years now. Enshitification continues. So now I have to keep stopping what I'm doing to fast forward through gamblings adverts and other similarly disgusting shit. Hate.

Today ICE fatally shot a 26-year-old Colombian man in Biddeford, Maine. This is the 11th person they’ve murdered this year—that we know of. He did everything he was supposed to. He was authorized to work in the US. He served his community. ICE still murdered him in broad daylight. Abolish ICE.

Playing some Persona Q2 today as I slow broil in the heat. It's such a refreshing little treat. It's like getting an Etrian Odyssey-lite that's just waaaaay off book flavor wise and a little chiller in general. And the added bonus of Persona vibes, music, aesthetic, etc. Fun.

Belief is knowing in your heart of hearts that Mrs. Columbo was a real person.

Everything is bad now because kids get their taste in music from algorithms instead of from trying to impress the older girl you know who looks like the Bombchu Bowling Alley Operator

When I die I would like the record to show that I never once criticized a piece of art as being "An insult to *blank*"

That anti-fandom work around really is fantastic.

What is Thomas Happ doing right now? He still making stuff? I love both Axiom Verges.

Youtube's not letting me block specific ads anymore. Bunch of fucking scum bags.

All those Marvel Vs. Capcom games and NONE of them let you create a team with Sodom and Gamorah, what a waste

Shower thought: Pluto is an incredible piece of sci-fi because it asks the question of "Are Robots/AI really alive/people?" but does so by showing you two robots; They aren't owned. They live together on their own, paying rent. Have regular jobs. Are married. Hold some civil rights. ...

Found it

It's not an adventure if you know where you're going.

I don't trust these guys walking around with mustaches all of a sudden. It's very suspicious. I assume you're all in a cult. I worry I'm not joking.

When the company that currently owns Evangelion, aka a strong contender for being one of the most influential and lucrative ip's in modern Japanese pop culture, finally pulled the trigger and decided to "Make more EVA" they could have played it SUUUUPER safe and printed more money no problem. ...

"executives with no understanding of the industry" seems to be an endemic problem across industries: higher education, medicine, you name it, a bunch of suits with MBAs and unearned arrogance are destroying everything around us, and for some reason, we're supposed to accept that they know best

Can we rename AAA to Shareholder Slop? Or is that too unfair to the devs? Asking for a friend 🧐

Just wasted the last half an hour trying to turn on my piece of shit LG "smart" TV because I misplaced the remote and apparently the fucking thing doesn't have a physical Power button. Or if it does it's so well hidden I can find no trace of it. I. Am. Furious.

ICE murdered another person.

Ooooh. Verho got it's console release date. Now of all the King's Field-likes in development, or already out in some cases, I'll admit Verho wasn't the one I was most interested in. But the benefit of being one of the first to get wide distribution means I'll def get it which becomes less a...

Thinking about these dumb motherfuckers who blow their lids anytime someone dares to "tell them what to do". You know, little things like, you should recycle. Or that supporting rapists with nazi tattoos is a bad thing. Now anyone with two brain cells to rub together knows that if you are told...

Yoshitaka Amano had opened his own animation studio specializing in the art of, and by extension the preservation of the artform of, *HAND DRAWN ANIMATION* 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

You know what's kind of beautiful about the story telling in fighting games? They have these decades spanning narratives with all these characterization, this deep lore, and the best way to experience it? It's to have someone sit down and explain it to you 😁 1/

bro they laid off the Doom 2016 developers. that's like if you laid off the studio that made arguably one of the best first-person shooters of all time, like Doom 2016

Unfortunately, a stunned Paris is how they all got into this whole mess to begin with

People more mad that other people were right when they were wrong then about the genuinely fucked up shit they were wrong about. Again I will say; get the fuck over yourself. Fucking losers.
