can anyone explain. like does anyone know why

Went and did this for every shmup I cleared this year

the shmups difficulty groove radar

Isle Delfino is once again using taxpayer funds to build a larger-than-life Pachinko machine, and residents are not happy. paletteswap.site/dif...

hehehe, yup

they should make an ape escape game where you can't use the slingshot for some kind of infinite jump glitch, would that be fucked up or what

i'm so mad. i was looking for a specific song by ALI PROJECT but didn't know the title, just knew it had a music video i liked and nothing else to go off. after trying to search all sorts of details about it, i finally gave up and just typed "ali project bideo" and it JUST SHOWS UP FIRST RESULT???

cosmetic cancel buttons

I was responsible for charting Tatsh's song "Futari dake no sekai" in #PK_GODHAND 's xmas update. This time, I made an "honest" chart where it's easier to actually hit the correct lanes than to cheese it. As always, it's an honor to chart something from an artist I've respected for a while.

people are gonna start describing that specific style of AAA game writing style as "focus m writing" and it's going to be immediately understandable and oh so funny

all things considered i'd say this is a fairly acceptable night to have a curse

Leave bsky and Twitter and join me in Pictochat room C

just made something that i would describe as "fun as fuck but i can see how it would make someone close the game and never open it again"

"whats your biggest impact on the internet" probably this heckin thing (with @taronuke.net)

happy rhythm december everybody 🎵

lmfao i looked in the comments of the silksong sea of sorrow announcement and everyone is already saying it so i don't have to "we had too much fun making sea of sorrow so now it's a standalone game with a new protagonist, see you in 2032 everybody"

Seeing people in the comments saying that To a T was unfun and essentially that he deserves this if he can't make a good game. Gamers, I don't know how else to say this, artists are not supposed to be punished with financial ruin for making imperfect art. That's such a fucked up idea you have

HEED THE OMEN OF THE ROWLING CUBE.

the name "highguard" lowkey kinda funny tho.. like they tryna be some type of "over watch"

the gamer wards

So, ah... you don't have to watch The Game Awards. Just watch the trailers when they drop after the show; save your sanity while harming on Keighley's bottom line.

damn, so many games i've been following for multiple years are releasing within like 3 weeks of each other right now shoutouts windswept, unbeatable, rhythm doctor, skate story, bits and bops, and honestly i probably even forgot a couple oops

unbeatable game purchase now

the prices of basically all computer components going up exponentially because of datacenters and crucial and whatnot is annoying as hell and i hate everyone involved actually

looking at code i wrote in middle school is making me remember that at the time i thought "foo, bar, baz" etc was the Actually Correct way to name variables after reading code examples, and i just kept creating new 3 letter "syllables" whenever i needed more variables (@proloe.gay extreme copter)

There's a specific type of poster on this site who we'll call the "Discover Feed Andy" who will just appear out of nowhere, not be followed by anyone i'm following, and have a GIGANTIC chip on their shoulder for no fucking reason and just start assuming bad faith and being mean and i kinda hate it

In Diddy Kong Racing DS, the message when connection is lost during Download Play is "LOST ALL CHILDREN". The cartridge is internally called a "parent" and the downloaded instances its "children". While this would make sense to the developers, it has the potential to confuse or scare players.

is it a controversial take to say i don't think every game needs to be 16:9 and some games would benefit from 4:3 or other aspect ratios

presenting my new "Sucking & Fucking" theory of music game charts, in the style of the political compass. no longer am I interested in hearing whether a chart is "good" or "bad". you have two axes...use them

they removed annotations so i gotta get creative

sometimes speedrunning is just like that

some of yall would fall for this i fear

was looking for how to tween text position in the .ass subtitle format and now i feel like i'm going to be put on a list 😔

adding a little bit of joy and whimsy to my unity editor utilities

i had a dream that there was a type of note that you hit by putting your hand in the toilet bowl but the additional mechanic was that that hand was now "dirty" and you couldn't use it to hit other notes any more until another note type that "washes" it

holy fuck. after decades of playing these things, i finally decided to put in the time to get a lunatic clear touhou 10: mountain of faith lunatic 1cc get, i think it's my new hardest video game accomplishment lmao

if you ask me the Onions are due

some days are like this

"absurd difficulty spike but it's right at the start so you get really good at it" is quite an underrated trope imo, it's the usual experience of shmup extra stages but i don't see it much elsewhere i think toby fox did a good job of introducing it to a more casual audience with sans fight intro
