Good morning, Bsky! These days the conversation (memes) revolve around "If you play FF, you're OLD", but there's a *REASON* those of us who grew during the franchise's heights revere it so. VI was the absolute PEAK of the SNES era, and of what FF is and can be.

CREATION Happy April Fool's Day! xkcd.com/3227/

Ok, I'm back. What is the internet fighting about today? [checks] Super Mario Galaxy reviews?!

Good morning, Bluesky! Stay safe out there on the internet today - lots of lies.

Hearts of Stone finished! 10/10! Of course, since The Witcher 3 has its grip on me, started Blood & Wine straight away! Toussaint is so colorful and bright - a nice change, compared to the depressing colors of Velen. Each day I understand more why The Witcher 3 is one of the GOATs.

The first Mario movie was fun. That’s all it needed to be. The Mario Galaxy movie will be fun. That’s all it needs to be. If anyone is putting anymore emphasis than that on it then they are dead inside.

Unsure if this is related to the Mario thing, but has to be said: HOLY HELL - 29 from critics? Who are these people? Who hurt them? Hook is a marvelous family/fun film! ♥

Obligatory question: Who hurt The Times? 🤣 (I'm going on Friday!)

Play South of Midnight! (Oh, and crank up the volume 🤫)

I remember reading, years ago, that 'Hearts of Stone' didn't match 'Blood & Wine'. May be true, but until I get to that second DLC, this one is superb! Still not done, and it's been full of fun (and challenging!) new enemies, great new characters, and riveting stories. B&W must be amazing, eh?

Good morning, Bsky. I have no words. Link: www.youtube.com/shorts/Mghgz...

Hey Amazon are you okay

Doing collectibles clean-up in RE2R and managed to do this. something about the way I turned and shot the rocket launcher fucked up the physics and I turned into BIG LEON. thought my camera was just messed up, but i realized i couldnt fit through the doors. i got soft-locked by BIG LEON

The movie I saw last night? Sonic 3. Finally! Silly, even ridiculous at times, but very fun at its core, like the previous two. Great CGI, too! But the real show-stealer is, again, Jim Carrey. Every time he's on you know something silly is going to happen! Robotnik fits him like a glove (hehehe).

We’re in a video game crash. You can’t look at 45K jobs lost, games in dev for 5-10 years shuttered in a week or a month, jacked prices on hardware to 30%+ vs launch, and component prices through the roof due to garbage SlopTech and tariffs and draw any different conclusion.

This is a literal puzzle platformer where the level itself IS the puzzle. - Literal jigsaw mechanic - 100 levels that get surprisingly technical - Very chill, lo-fi aesthetic It’s called Piece by Piece. Honestly a clever way to make a platformer feel like a brain teaser.

Not that they're ever gonna say otherwise... but if anyone pulls the plug on Marathon at this point would be Sony, right? Sony won't care about how good the game is, or the playes that like it, or even the great reviews it's getting... it's all about player numbers and revenue.

In January 2001, in the OPM2 letters page, Kenneth from Denmark saw the future.

Speaking of The Witcher, I've been playing on PC > TV, to enjoy 4K/HDR (😍), but screenshots in Windows are weird. Windows saves each screenshot twice: One with HDR in JXR format and another in JPG format. Neither Photoshop nor Bluesky recognize JXR, and the JPG copy it's DARK. See alt txt.

Good morning and happy week, Bluesky! Aside from a bit of Marathon and a movie, I spent most of my weekend playing The Witcher 3. Finished the base game and started the Hearts of Stone expansion. I thought I was only gonna play a bit... in a blink most of Sunday was gone 😅 It's SO GOOD.

Know something I dislike in in-game shops? First I saw this it was in COD, then in BF6 and now in Marathon. The [pseudo edgy/profound statement] + [BUNDLE NAME] + [catchy phrase] combo or its variants. I dunno, I find it silly and fake, for some reason.

Say what you want about Marathon, but it drips STYLE. (This is Charters, Arachne's - the PvP faction -representative.)

Witcher 3 (base game) done! 60 hours and there was SO MUCH left undone! Fortunately, I'm near the level to start the first DLC, Hearts of Stone, so I shall do that next. Good stuff. I'm almost ready for the rumored 3rd DLC...

CAN I finish The Witcher 3 today? Maybe? I *think* I'm close? Though I thought that when I found Ciri, too. Anyways, going at it live at twitch.tv/sagacyte

I feel like this shot I got in Pokopia goes unnecessarily hard

By now everyone's see that Glen Powel is voicing Fox in the Super Mario Galaxy movie... but have you seen the announcement video? It's a must: www.instagram.com/p/DWY33wIAHOg/

Second half of 2026? Shadowdrop or what? Time's ticking, Nintendo! Side note: - Please do not use the BOTW art style. I dunno, do something else.

Yesterday: "Man, I want an OLED monitor for my PC, they're expensive but they're an experience." Today: "Man, I should get a new PS5 before they cost $2000."

I waited a few years after release and got the console for a lower price, which was the style at the time.

Good morning, Blueskkkkkkkwhatthefuuuuuuck? What is Sony smoking?!?!

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but glimpsing at the chat during the Xbox show, there's a lot of "slop" being used... I hope ironically.

Oh dang, in the middle of my lunch break... which means I won't be able to catch it live. I'll be sure to check it out later, specially what's coming to PC Game Pass 😅

GOALS

oh.

Junior Executive Model

Stepson bought Bravely Default on Steam. It has Family Sharing.

While the idea of an "NCU" or a "Smash Bros. movie" is tantalizing, I just remembered that the upcoming Zelda movie is live-action. Not that it's impossible to do, though.

I'm surprised they outright showed Fox! I bet he's gonna be a sub-5 minute cameo, tho. Remember back when the first trailer dropped people Digital-Foundry'd it and found a frame with a character with a gun, and people swore it was Fox. Still, rumor has it there's another surprise...

BRING FORTH THE NCU! (Also: Good morning, Bluesky!)

I thought I was close to ending The Witcher 3 once I found Ciri. I was wrong. The game is full of surprises.

They animated a commercial with voices and all? 😮 www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLe5...

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book Switch 2 physical is $69.99. Digital is $59.99 www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

"The game's not doing as well as it did... let's fire people so it does ever worse" sounds like a weird business strategy.

Bluesky is the problem. I don't have a Switch 2. I am not interested in Pokopia. I am not interested in Tomodachi - heck, I don't even understand what the game's supossed to be *about*. But Y'ALL ARE SO HAPPY when those games release that I can't help but feel a liiiiiiiittle bit of fomo 😅

A Lord of the Rings movie, written by Colbert, focusing on a couple of chapters of the books that were not done in the original trilogy? INTRIGUING... www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMHh...
