there is something incredibly serendipitous about twitter tearing itself apart over whether it's piracy to mod a dead free phone game back to playability, while bsky was celebrating a random 30 year old amiga platformer preserved through piracy and open source releases

trump finally gives up and asks someone to explain this god stuff to him, listens intently as barron explains for an hour what's the best way to play shin megami tensei iii in 2026

jon mcnaughton must be so angry that he's the one artist in the world that the slop machines can perfectly replicate

there's something very pure about how every single amiga game could be effortlessly passed off as a biting parody of amiga games

"good idea, bad execution" when discussing art is a meaningless filler phrase. at best it's for wanting to sound nuanced when you feel uncomfortable with simply disliking something, and at worst it's a reflexive defense when you realize it actually did go over your head at first

excuse me

when a game refers to a common real world animal or plant that doesn't seem to exist in the game world (the "millennium falcon" thing) subordinate: when it does exist but is given a toponymic prefix ("Hylian rice") despite being the only known kind

I remember watching Wing as a kid, not really understanding the plot, and assuming I wasn't old enough to really get this mature anime where everyone talked about war and philosophy then I grew up and realized I didn't get it because it's unbelievably stupid

every inch of this is obviously gold, but the hidden best part is that they genuinely can't gin up any badass copy for the fish so that text's just sandwiched between the other two

full version, the vocal samples from the original were getting too big for the SNES memory restrictions so i had to improvise lol

Donkey Kong 64 has a large number of collectibles, but the Internet is full of misinformation on what exactly that number is. I present an accurate count based on comprehensive datamining, aiming to answer this question once and for all: Donkey Kong 64 has 2142 collectibles.

people are reporting big windfalls in the form of good harvests, love magic, and finding buried treasure after burying a bowl covered in incantations to trap demons under their house

In Super Mario Odyssey, many Goombas can be stacked. The limit for a legitimate Goomba stack is 30, as they will stop spawning afterwards. Manually spawning more Goombas reveals that the limit for an illegitimate Goomba stack is 200. At 201 Goombas, the game crashes.

guys in star wars used to be called “droopy mccool” and “fling bongus.” now they’re all called like “baylen zender.” i think this says a lot about society.

hey uh these ones seem a bit noteworthy beyond being AI generated

It's sale season once again! Misericorde Vol. Two is less than ten dollars, and Vol. One is less than five. Get caught up, start the series for the first time, or give a friend the gift of depressed 15th century nuns 🗡️

new incredible Deimos F:NV art just dropped www.instagram.com/p/DV_PWmAAeEM/

with the power of dlss5 your games can now look like an ad for a mobile game that you immediately block

can you imagine how many Umbrella employees quit and just take the golden daggers and polyhedral gems along with some pens what are you gonna do, press charges and put it on the record that your last network IT guy stole the silver basilisk crest that opens the door to the monster factory

The Strait of Hormuz is open for transit,

until act three the shark in Jaws doesn't even know people are mad at him. he's just hanging out

This bit in the From Russia With Love game made me laugh out loud. You've got a fairly grounded, low key fight based on the one in the movie, then the most video game looking fucker of all time slides into frame.

Most of the footage of the famous 2000 "Super Mario 128" tech demo was recorded with handheld cameras by the audience, with the presenter drowning out the game sound. Only 10 seconds of direct feed footage exist, which reveal that the sound was a cacophony of Marios screaming.

still love his movies but this is disappointing

According to internal files and interviews, Luigi has been part of Super Mario 64 for 85% of its development time. New insights from development data allow us to narrow down when exactly he was abandoned, being the two weeks between February 6, 1996 and February 20, 1996.

This is what gaming is all about

every time someone posted that picture of link on the cliff from zelda 1's manual as a symbol of unguided exploration, all I could think of was how at the end of said manual there was a little walkthrough and map telling you exactly where the first two dungeons are

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

we live in the ruins of a greater civilization

konami japan has gone back and forth on whether to just call the series "castlevania" or to keep "demon castle" and/or "dracula" as the title, whatever but this trailer has them call trevor "Trevor Belmondo" instead of "Ralph C. Belmondo." absolutely unacceptable www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vOw...

some day I'm going to have to lay out in detail how Ghost Babel's plot (which was not written by Kojima) is like a rough sketch of what MGSV did, down to certain very specific themes and plot elements

there was more joy and charm from this man talking for a minute than the last two GoW games combined

good news for sonia belmont fans: you may no longer have to pretend that castlevania legends was a good game!

i heard you were looking for an illustration of Olive Oyl using her nintendo famicom, with the tv-net modem peripheral plugged into it, so she can use "daiwa my trade", and make trades on the japanese stock market, with the help of popeye. well here you go

yoshitaka amano now has a thing on his website where you can see some of his works converted into 3d and you need to see this shit yoshitaka-amano.com/arcane-canva...

In 2023, I posted about a bizarre Dolce & Gabbana shirt featuring Mario standing in a beam of light alongside text praising him. I have tracked down the source of the image, which was a splash page in the E3 2000 brochure. Now the venerated Mario can be seen in high quality.

they fucking torment nexus'd me

this is not in fact creatio ex nihilo as mario is using dead matter, such as how El formed the preexistent chaotic matter into the heavens, earth, and water
