"Chris! Chris, wake up!!" "Snhnznzhh-- uh? What?" "They're saying it needs a thumbstick, Chris! None among you ever ONCE stopped to think that the game might not actually be finishable without a thumbstick!" "Ah mate, but what my theory pre-supposes is... we actually DID think of that..." (TBC)

👀 (As the kids say...)

I try not to swear on here but sometimes it’s justified: fuck anyone who thinks it’s okay to criticise, let alone criminalise, trans people just going about their lives. That driving licence of theirs just burning a hole in your values, huh? You are disgusting, and history will forget your names.

For what it's worth @altermentality.bsky.social I just tried to reply to you, it said it did, but I can't see it. So... Bluesky really not helping with that feeling of social media alienation you have!

I'm thrilled to announce that my next video game will be HippoPot, a Hippotomassively Multiplayer Online game where you and your friends adopt a hippo; grow, build, craft, coordinate, thrive, defile, research, spelunk, and-- well, we'll have more to say about that in the future. Thanks for watching!

@voidburger.com Via the Retronauts community podcast, your Pikachu impression is genuinely astonishing! I rewound it twice to make sure Diamond wasn't splicing in original audio.

In a parallel universe, the alternate Toy Story 2 debuts a 30-year partnership and opens with Andy bursting into his room, excited, struggling to keep a hold of all his new Pokémon toys.

There's SO MUCH to question here, but I think the thing that tickles me most is the all-caps "STOP OPENCLAW", as if all-caps is a thing that will deter the rogue algorithm from running amok.

My favourite, the one that means the most to me emotionally? Majora's Mask. The one that I think is most mechanically pure and timeless? Link to the Past, although, that's probably going to get overtaken by Link's Awakening unless it pulls its socks up. Most epic in the moment? Ocarina of Time!

I know her name's not really Zelda.

Stephen King's Jaunt! The Musical

Toy Story 1: look at the amazing work our animators created by crunching at screens for hours on end; Woody's wrong to fear evolving technology! Toy Story 5: KIDS SURE DO SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON THEIR DEVICES HUH?

They're not wrong to call it Professor Layton and the New World of Steam; it's bloody vapourware at this point.

Hey, Starfleet Academy, I'd like to chat with you about this issue that has been A Thing in Star Trek since Disco: when you replace A-plot and B-plot with two tracks that are both in on the same story but are just different groups. That's still one plot, you're just cutting away! It feels thin.

Holly Hunter is so great in Starfleet Academy. Like, they can let the camera linger on her for even longer than they did PatStew or Kate Mulgrew and she'll just carry that take.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women." Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration. It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Our latest.

I can't sleep, on account of all the noisy scraping from the "Konami never does anything whatsoever with their IP!" crowd simultaneously moving their goalposts.

Thanos: "151 Pokémon is unbalanced, the universe can't support it. They're suffering. I'm going to reduce that number to 64... no, 63." *Raises gauntlet*

I’m Analilia Mejia and I approve this message.

Replaying Super Bomberman 1 for the first time in many, many years has made me question some false memories. I was convinced that of the two baddies you're chasing, the one in the black hat ran the circus (World 2) but he's actually in charge of World 5's gladiator arena! Huh.

Needing a way to ground myself after a bonkers week, I decided to go big: find the location, grind the materials for, and build a Shulker farm in #Minecraft. The output after about 20 minutes means I think I've catapulted the server into what can safely be called "post-scarcity".

One week ago today, Sea of Thieves: The Last Bite launched on WEBTOON. Just now: Seven million views. 😱 Thank you so much to everyone who's read, shared and enjoyed it, and to Rhoald and all the rest for making it happen! If you haven't taken the plunge, Episode One is here: aka.ms/SoT_TheLastB...

Kameo20周年おめでとうございます！昨年の風邪の時からずっと調子悪くて、ラフ画程度のお祝い絵になっていまいました…本当におめでとうございます！

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

[#zelda] the great sea.

At around the 72 hour mark, we hit 1.5 million views. It's a surreal, out-of-body feeling. Thank you so much to everyone who's taken a peek, liked, and/or left a kind comment! (The three naysayers who immediately used 'woke' as an insult; I am DELIGHTED you were offended. Get off of our planet.)

Blummin' 'eck, we've already smashed 300,000 views. In case you haven't seen, Sea of Thieves: The Last Bite is on WEBTOON with a fresh new crew making their way. And if you HAVE seen... first: thank you! Second: who's your favourite character and why?

Two people have been abducted from Scotland in the middle of the night by the US military. Despite an order from our highest court that they be kept here. The Scottish Government must show that actions have consequences by evicting American troops from their base at publicly-owned Prestwick Airport

Y'know... Part of me hates the New Horizons 3.0 Update. The tourist/hotel part of it, specifically. Seeing randos wandering round each day and talking about our cosy, rustic island as a "luxury resort" makes it feel oddly gauche, like our home has been turned into a tourist attraction by Nook.

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

Look, kids these days may know what a "6 7" is but the important thing is they can't do this in Pilotwings.

Post your favourite of Kiddy Kong's many iconic catchphrases. Here's mine:

"I want more filler episodes and I'm not even kidding!" To start with, it might help if you weren't using a term that suggests stand-alone stories (which is what you're really talking about) have inherently less worth/meaning than the episodes that forever impact the lore of the shows you like.

The Switch 2 update swells Donkey Kong Country Returns HD from 8 to over 16Gb, making it around 60% larger than Bananza.

For as much as I'm loving Gina Yashere's absolute, Year Head presence and energy, Holly Hunter has really surprised me in #StarfleetAcademy so far. The trailers did not capture her composite vibe of Pelia, Action Dax, and SNW-brand Pike she'd bring.

3x3 connecting infrastructure tunnels on a decade-plus #Minecraft server: how it started vs. how it's going. I blame watching #Hermitcraft for making me to adhere to this high level of detailing, because what used to take an hour now spans entire audiobooks. 😭

It's weird how we've now got both a series set at Starfleet Academy, and a movie showing how Kirk and Spock first met (and didn't get along), both of which are ideas that have been gestating since the 1990s. It's not too late for Takei to get his Sulu show, is what I'm taking from this.

I've got a mini Christmas Pudding in my fridge from December, and I keep being too full to eat it, but this is getting ridiculous now. I suppose I could have it for lunch one day like some kind of Santanarchist, but what if I develop a taste for that lifestyle? They don't sell them all year round.

(With apologies to Victoria Wood) Let's do it, let's do it A lovers' co-op Sonic 2! Spare the details, I'll play Tails And you can be the one that's blue! No saving, misbehaving Might just get you down for Mystic Caving Let's do it, Sonic 2-it tonight!

Just completed a crossword from a 1995 UK gaming magaine and was feeling very pleased with myself until I remembered I was supposed to be loading the dishwasher, going to bed and (more generally) doing something with my life. I might still manage to snag a copy of George Foreman's KO Boxing though!

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers.

Someobody was making great points earlier; they were coming across as completely hinged.

Glad to see the people who support the stance of "But What If, Infinite Typewriters" reaping what they sow.

I miss the days when Bart and Lisa would team up to solve crimes.
