That one tune in Castlevania III... does it sound like a squeaky hinge, or maybe a plastic straw in a disposable cup?

My neighbor had the Robosapien v1 and the Roboraptor and we would put them across from each other and make them fight which mostly was just walking into each other until they both fell over because neither was especially sturdy

I'm getting highly offended by posts celebrating the 30th anniversary of movies that came out in the 90s, which was only 10 years ago.

THIS IS WHAT SAM ALTMAN WANTS TO TAKE FROM YOU

Pro tip make sure you get the diet coke with the no caffeine because otherwise you may not notice that you're accidentally red bulling yourself at like 9:30 pm because you wanted a sippy

some days you wake up and all you want to do is use Windows 95

The sisyphussy spider

I hate it when people problematically use my platform in the way that I designed it to be used on purpose

Been seriously looking forward to reading this

A panel from dungeon meshi that changed my life

As a former produce guy, nobody is having more fun in the store with displays than produce guys

Steam should put a longplay of the game in question on the store page behind a spoiler warning so you don't have to go to Youtube every time to find out what the game actually looks like when the game creators don't put any actual gameplay in their trailer (which is what happens 95% of the time)

IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN A WEEK!

Honestly, I've long thought the glory days of Vocaloid were over, but lately the quality that artists are producing in the space makes me feel like we're right back in the 2000s Vocaloid has always provided a loud voice for counterculture and I love that people are using it now, when we need it

God look at these unrealistic expectations for women

This is dumb but if, like me, you sometimes find yourself doing stuff that you know is a stupid idea (like starting another youtube video when it's bedtime) Sometimes literally saying out loud to yourself "I know I shouldn't be doing this" can kind of help you reclaim the agency to stop lol

If you grew up in a Christian family this is one to be sending to everyone you know right now

"We are going to keep on trying to strengthen the American family, to make American families a lot more more like the Simpsons, and a lot less like the Waltons!" I'm pretty sure that's how it went anyway

AAA industry’s boner for hollywood orchestral has effectively resulted in major franchises with no recognizable music. do you ever think about how weird it is that assassin’s creed doesn’t have a unifying theme because i’ve played all twenty of em and think about it regularly

Was looking at options for seat cushions this morning (being somebody who sits at the computer all day) Laughing at the amount of reviews on some that have them visibly the wrong way around and are like IT'S NOT COMFORTABLE AT ALL

The Monster Hunter Stories vibes are kind of immaculate actually

i dont think this will save the games industry or anything but if games can go back to being like 10-15 gigs to download i would appreciate it

if you asked me to diagnose the western game industry's current problem it would start with "landlords have absorbed basically all disposable income"

You may worry the video games industry has become stagnant but fear not: video game companies are thinking of new and exciting ways to destroy the hobby as we speak

This discussion was incredible I've never bought a book advertised on a podcast but I just bought both of his This is impossible to summarize here but: listen if you love games, hate "gamification," think about why we play games, or what we lose when we evaluate games (and reality) by data/metrics

we live in the ruins of a greater civilization

There's nothing more disappointing than the amount of spaghetti that comes out of a can of Chef Boyardee when you're in your thirties It used to be more than this... right...

I like that you can play Halo 1 in the Master Chief Collection online and still get the authentic experience of people dropping extremely unacceptable slurs when you beat them A perfect time capsule

When I talk/joke about my achievement hunting people kinda frame it as pointless suffering but in reality it's kind of the opposite Trying to maximize fun by picking the perfect game is usually pointless suffering, picking whatever and doing some achievement hunting is usually immediate fun

He could easily live a life of joy, but he chose power instead.

That was slightly higher effort than I expected lol

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue
