They would if they found out their bacon-scented Axe 10-in-1 shampoo was made with the help of a feminist.

How the absolute fuck can you have such little self-awareness. It'd be funny if it weren't so sad. "This game got review-bombed after some baby men found out, a woman they didn't like had literally anything to do with it. This somehow proves that these men care about the quality of the game."

The CEO of the studio making Lords of Fallen 2 (Dark Soulless) everyone. The same guy who guzzles Grummz’s chode and panders to chud gamers every time he posts. Don’t buy this shithead’s game.

The part in Esoteric Ebb where we tell the large aberration deep below the city our deepest darkest secret was the most a video game has ever made me laugh in a long, long time. Potentially ever.

"we will not distribute content that appears to depict sexual conduct involving a minor"

If I thought Nintendo were more insidiously competent, I'd say they made the new Star Fox designs to create as close to a 50:50 split of lovers and haters as possible to cause maximum engagement. However, luckily for Nintendo, they can just create genuinely impressive work (love it or hate it)

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

Grown-ass people turning the most harmless of video game announcement into some sort of trench war would give me more second-hand embarrassment if it wasn't so unsurprising at this point.

If I ever make something I'll hire Anita Sarkeesian just to get gamers™️ mad. Also for her professional input, but the gamer™️ tears are a big plus.

lol they can't enjoy shit and it fucking rules

Also, with the combo of Mario Galaxy Fox and New Star Fox Fox, Nintendo will be banking in on at least two generations of furries. Smart. Together with Bananza, Nintendo furries are feasting atm.

Star Fox 64 was and still is a near-perfect game (dang that should be in my 5x5), so it makes business sense to just remake it until somebody has an idea that's fresh, fun, and not too daunting to execs, esp. since every experiment the franchise did was a (commercial) failure.

Switching to English: I'd also like to commission a cute little logo for my cute little game club, so if you feel addressed or know somebody whose calling that might be, feel free to hmu. Queer artists preferred and no AI please.

Wenn ihr queer und aus dem Ruhrgebiet seid (Nähe Witten) oder jemanden kennt, wo auf die Beschreibung passt, gerne mal reinschauen und/oder teilen: thegameclub.com/clubs/02f198...

That video seems to be a great litmus test for whether I get along with somebody morally AND humor-ic-ally.

Seriously, how does this game keep getting better?!

Titanium Court is so far the only Match-3 type puzzle game in existence that I truly love, adore, cherish, am infatuated, and would hypothetically go on a date with. It's a gift that keeps on giving.

I did the thing. Just off the top of my head representing where I'm at in my life (i.e. today lol). Originally didn't want any doubles, but I was like "Heck, Undertale has earned that." Also Mario Bros 3 should be All-Stars on the SNES but for some reason that's not on that list.

Oh dang, I gotta DERUST!

I love this essay very much!!!!

That's what my forum profile pictures looked like when I was 13 and discovered photoshop filters for the first time.

My cat. That's my cat in this game!

After having played through FF8 twice back to back - once with the Ragnarok and Succession mods and once without for comparison - my new hot take is that FF8 is the best, the worst, and definitely the most misunderstood FF out of all of them.

Love the amount of people in this discourse going "well, actually, this dilemma is badly designed" while being unable to be all high and mighty about their opinion on a poll with a near 50:50 split. Like... how could you prove harder that this might actually be an interesting dilemma.

microsoft is complicit in genocide and i wish people would stop uncritically distributing all their marketing, going to their preview events, subscribing to game pass and covering their games. especially those who are independent.

apollo justice: ace attorney is a 2026 period piece

This feels like it's trying to defy the notion that satire is dead and just for a fleeting moment I want to enjoy that.

Alpha male. N. A man so insecure of his mediocrity he dedicates a sizeable part of his existence demonstratively proving it to strangers.

Wishlisted. Good thing is that, so far, whenever I had gotten a game first and foremost out of pure stubborn principle (e.g. Horses) it turned out to be an amazingly worthwhile experience. store.steampowered.com/app/2288520/...

Nearly half of these 100 are from games that were translated into English, btw, and a full half of the top 10 entries were written by translators. Sadly, some of them, like Suikoden 2, Yakuza 0, and Metal Gear Solid 4, blanket credit translation companies instead of listing names of individuals.

People saying they liked the mario galaxy movie

I regret to inform y'all that Hans Zimmer fuckin sucks.

Gosh, I love Pathologic 3. Seriousl, if Ice Pick Lodge were to reinvent and recontextualize these characters and this world every x years or so, I'd be so on board with that. Play this. Especially if you find 1 too wonky and 2 too difficult, this one is very lenient difficulty-wise.

I mean, yeah, I'm biased but it already looks like something that will be my goty of that year.

As far as turn-based RPGs go, I'll probably have to go with the by now cliché choice og Undertale (which I had liked before it was cool, I swear!). Got a tattoo. Got the soundtrack on vinyl. Wrote papers about it. Made my one (1) video essay about it. Means a lot to me, as far as games go.

Frankly don't know the last time that a game had made me laugh as much as Esoteric Ebb does.

Inb4 next Smash will not be made by Sakurai but WILL have "Minion" as a Pre-order bonus character.

Definitely has a nicer ring to it than "Human Likeness Data Collection Program"

“If you use <insert grammatical pet peeve here> then I know your writing was done by AI.” Cool, and if you use AI paranoia to try and shame a writing style you don’t like, then I know you’re a bit of a cunt.

Personally I try to lookmid, bc I don't wanna be too intimidating to men with fragile egos.

Now having seen it, i think it's a very competent commercial that will sell plenty of toys.

Shout-out to the youths, who I totally get and am totally "with" as they say.

@thegameclub.bsky.social Are there plans for other payment methods in the future? I'm outside the US and do not own a credit card but would love to join.

The real losers in the Mario Galaxy Movie discourse are the people discussing whether it's good or bad when that hadn't even been a priority for the people making (or rather financing) it. If it sells toys it's good enough for them. Feels like another way to stir fake fandom outrage.

I'm so good at the 6 7. I 6 7 so well that all the kids go: ugh, stop that, you are old, you can't which just makes me 6 7 harder, BREH

It's so bizarre that this warrants a "take" or an article or whatever. Like yeah, duh. I'd go further. There shouldn't be billionares. Everything > 999.999.999$ should go to public resources. And those bizarro-multi-millionaires would (after taxes) still have more than enough for several lifetimes.
