nintendo music staff after a grueling day at work: "this is gonna go so hard in the no thoughts head empty music compilation youtube videos"

very glad that this piece dives head-onto the fundamental disquiet about this discourse; the machine zone and flow state are impossible to extricate/regulate from Regular Video Game Design, and the attention/retention-seeking aims of marketing incentivize an aesthetic that carcinizes into casinos

The. Rise. Of. Cognitive. Surrender. Study finds that people who use GenAI chatbots rely on them 80% of the time, and develop almost no capacity to recognize when a chatbot is feeding them faulty information. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

this ain't your daddy's easily digestible social media comics. we don't make quirky relatable instagram humour about touching your husband's butt or whatever anymore... we make EDGY COMIX that talk about all sorts of things in the world... like memes, and video games, and smoking weed

If musical albums worked like games then if u wanna make a noise rock band you'd have to release multiple versions of the same album with varying intensity. Make multiple versions of the same tragedy movie with multiple endings for people who can't handle being too upset. Games are a service tho

Discussions about arcade games being quarter munchers are happening on twatter again and I just wanna say 3 things : 1. Almost nobody can explain what they mean by "quarter muncher" so they'll shift the meaning around as they please.

getting a MiSTer two years ago completely deleted any fomo around modern games in my brain and i have enjoyed the hobby so much more. so relieving to be removed from the miserable hellscape of the current culture. i hang with cool indies but besides that im on my own beautiful island and YOU CAN TOO

thinking about having my biases confirmed. if anyone thinks this is a good idea lmk

Saw someone say how’s Sonic gonna respond to this like he needs to care about Miyamoto slutting Fox out like a birthday stripper again because nobody actually wants to buy a game about his son who’s last touch down was in the Clinton era

Now I'm thinking, programming is very bad for Health, Stomack and Life, however computer desire excellent programes.

i put some rock crystals in my food + it made them soooooooo yummy it was awesome to eat the rocks

Hyperfixation go brrr, so I did a hefty write-up on every currently available English fan translation for N64. Exciting to think that over 1/4 of the Japanese-exclusive library has been translated now, most within just the last decade or so.

[Another great game to replay in 2026! I have also updated the front page links to the recomp & decomps mentioned in the article] Bomberman 64 Recomp Released Bomb-tastic! ~ Mar 24, 2026 defaultdnb.github.io/ReCollect64/... #N64 #ReCollect64

as a culture we have really given "ideas" way too much credit. ideas are a dime a dozen. they happen all the time. the magic is way more in the doing, and the doing's diminished stature is linked to lack of respect for labor and, more recently, skill and expertise.

i really think this amano piece of edward from final fantasy iv might be my favorite illustration of all time

This needs to stop being a position that we really accept as an explanation at all for all this. In the worst case, it's probably a lie and in an only slightly better case it still shows a lack of care for both their craft but also the final work that is made. Neither of these is okay.

I've been told there are actually FGC peeps on Bluesky who'd wanna see this I quit Tekken 8, and started making my own 3D fighter. Playable for free, complete with rollback. People have been loving it 😭 Grab it on itchio: alcratz.itch.io/rush-proto youtu.be/_ks7iN8PMWc #indiedev #tekken #fgc

AAA game devs love saying shit like "all our players are ignorant cretins and if we don't jingle keys and wipe their asses they will throw one heck of a tantrum" which feels like a self-fulfilling prophecy to me

This is the best product review I’ve read: samhenri.gold/blog/2026031... It doesn’t matter if you’re interested in the MacBook Neo or not; this is the kind of essay that makes you think about the potential of technology and the joys of exploration.

As soon as you use it for anything creative or cognitive you're completely compromised to me. If you can use AI in any way without shame we simply don't agree. If you use it to replace creatives, or because you can't think for yourself, we simply have nothing to say to each other.
