I need the big chin meme edit of this immediately lmfao

there are so many iconic Data East games. some of them are even good!

Eeeeey Eeeeey Eeeeey Eeeeey..... PLAY DATA EAST EVERYDAY

Every time I play a new rogue-lite deck-builder (StS2 this time) I always have mixed feelings about unlockables (especially if they’re uncommons or rares for specific deck archetypes) because they often end up diluting the card pool and indirectly promoting generic “good stuff” builds.

I need this in netplay so bad it’s unreal

2 years ago someone in my anime bookclub added a mal score 6.55 studio deen ecchi from 2003 to the pool. Today it appeared on the vote for April and the same guy asked “who the hell added this to the pool” Many such cases.

Tom Holland is 30 years old.

Visiting a friend in Denver. He brought me to his local arcade and they had an absolute banger selection lmao. Took some pictures of personal standouts, but this wasn’t even half of it. Some other highlights were like 6 Cave shmups, Puyo Fever, and banana lever Monkey Ball + Racing and Rhythm games

genesis of maybe the funniest move in fighting games

I'm a game design genius

oh yeah recently I also pulled out a GBA game from my childhood, Mario Party Advance I see this game get a lot of hate online from Mario Party fans, with them saying it's "not a Mario Party game" I agree with them, it's nothing like Mario Party. For example: it's good

Nothing like a big metal arcade stick to get you flagged in airport security 100% of the time

2nd in Magdrop 3, 3rd in Twinkle Star Sprites, and 7th in PSX Mystery. No medals, but still a good run for me at Max Mode. Was super cool to meet more of the Puzzwed crew in person too. Can’t wait till the next time we get together again. Hype weekend!

I found these two Neo Turf Masters memes in my memories.

every time i log into fightcade i meet the nicest fucking people who have ever lived

I cannot stand how segatet feels to play, but I’m really glad some people do because holy hell it’s so much fun to watch lmao

As someone who hasn’t played Strive since launch, what is supposed to he the counterplay against HC rollthru gunshot? Jack made it look like a looping unblockable.

Peak is back on the menu

All packed for Frosty Faustings. Time to go 0-2 like 8 times because I haven’t played a fighting game in 4 months

the neo turf masters golfers ranked by how much I think they'd be a good Dad

Celebrated Christmas with a British family this year and apparently Runescape is real

Today, in an extremely funny turn of events, I attended someone else’s surprise 30th birthday party on my 30th birthday.

Kinda funny, but thinking back on it, did anyone say the word “gamer” in a speech at the game awards? About halfway through I started to notice every speech rephrased it as “players,” “the gaming community,” or “gaming fans” instead lol.

I’m addicted to this stupid nikke minigame

I wore the Gold Ship shirt while visiting my family over Thanksgiving and got asked if it was Goku.

The connecting flight I missed by 10 minutes got delayed for 2 hours on the runway.

One of the producers on Guilty Gear Strive said it was basically impossible to source player feedback on balance changes online because nobody had original opinions and would just parrot what the most popular content creators said and so they had to rely on data and I think about that every day.

"you have not played the game unless you've played the game" is one of my more annoying but unshakable opinions

Gonna document my TNNT runs here just for the hell of it. 1st run of the year, as always, we enter the dungeon as a knight. Not gonna try too hard for any conducts since I haven’t played in a year. #DekaTNNT2025

We’ve got Oh My God! this week, a matching colors games not that far off from Columns in its matching rules. What sets it apart is basic piece placement: you control pieces like in Snake, having to wind around to find the optimal position and deal with longer pieces challonge.com/PWOMG3rd

Time to lock in for TNNT. I wonder what kind of ascensions I should go for this year. Also wondering if IRC is the main way people find a clan.

For better or worse, the saturday morning staff at the bagel place greet me by name now. The logical result of getting a saturday morning bagel 16 weeks in a row, I suppose.

You ever think “why isn’t Puzzle Bobble more violent and disruptive?”? Well, Azumanga Daioh Puzzle Bobble has your back In spite of being based off the slice of life series, you can do some real mean spirited things with the ability to shoot into your opponents playfield challonge.com/PWBobble19th

You ever play Puyo and go “wow, these little blob guys don’t hug each other enough”?. Well, Deroon Dero Dero has you covered, with pieces reaching across the board for mind bending chain theory Plus there’s a burst. That’s always neat challonge.com/PWDeroon2nd

Wretched creature give me strength in this VSP bracket

Watching through umamusume’s anime as part of book club and it’s kinda funny to learn that S1 and S2 have just been dramatizations of the irl horses’ racing careers. TL;DR, don’t look the real life horses up if you care about spoilers lol

My brain automatically parsing “vanquisher” as orange rank in Tekken makes all of these rank brag posts incredibly funny

Despite not playing (or really even following) the game, I find myself oddly invested in the upcoming Strive patchnotes.

Called @ratttz.bsky.social with the plan of quickly recording some gameplay footage for our Puzzle Touchdown pitch deck, but we ended up playing for an hour because the game rocks. I present to you 90 seconds of absolute IPTD nonsense.

developing puzzle touchdown is the most exciting project i think i've had in my life, i can't wait until you get a chance to play it

Okay, Turkey might actually be one of the most unhinged anime to air in years

Got greedy on a drive and threw one of my discs into a thick ass bramble bush. 45 minutes of crawling around through thorns later, I emerged with 8 discs, none of which were the one I lost.
