Looking at the video, I have to generously assume this is just for tutorializing for new players for a game series that hasn't seen a main title in 18 years. The opening sequence for Metroid Prime 3 was similarly quippy. But yeah, they should really tone down that dialogue, because, oof.

Finally got an N64 flash cart and now I can play Sin and Punishment the way it was meant to be played!

I think I JUST learned how to use a compressor correctly. God i wish that happened two weeks ago.

BY THE WAY If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2. There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security. Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation." TURN IT OFF.

Now that you’re into the nuanced, political plot of Final Fantasy Tactics, you may be curious about the sequels. Well strap in buddy I hope you like a version of The Neverending Story starring some absolutely rancid boys.

Started Metroid Prime: Federation Force and I can kinda see why people didn't like it when it came out. The mission based structure essentially removes the main appeal of a Metroid game. Admittedly, I'm sure I'd like it better if I were actually playing with other people.

god i hate linkedin

I was expecting to try this game out for a bit and then move on, but I'm actually kinda getting into it. There's something to be said about how the initial grind gives you a chance to feel out the area and your party, and the Auto battle makes it pretty painless. #retrogames #megaten #nes

Covid accelerates vascular aging An 18-country, 38-center study of ~2,000 participants —Effect predominantly in women, adding 5 years of aging —Seen with non-hospitalized and mild-moderate Covid —Reversible in some at 1-year; vaccination link to protection apps.crossref.org/pendingpub/p...

#EchoesOfWisdom handles a lot of things from BotW/TotK in I think much better ways (exploration while telling a story, creative puzzle design) but still brings some things over from those games that don't really make sense for this game (crafting, lots of warping, that awful inventory UI, quest log)

To summarize -waves are not seasonal -vaccines are waning -people are getting long covid -it’s still not an endemic disease -very young kids are at increased risk because they didn’t go through the initial vaccine series Oh and it turns out, Covid Cautious people have been right the whole time.

Happy #IndieAnimationDay everyone! We're proud to show what we've been cooking up so far! Hope you'll stay tuned for more! 👀 Animation: @croxistudios.bsky.social Voice Acting: @mikesean45.bsky.social

I've finally gotten into Donkey Kong 64 despite having the cartridge since I was like 5 years old. I really don't wanna compare it to Mario 64, but I'm really surprised at how...not good the controls are?

I'm about halfway through Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and my impressions so far are that Echoes work really well and make for some great puzzles, but really, really don't work for combat. #Zelda #EchoesOfWisdom

FF14 7.3 spoilers Really liked the ending to FFXIV 7.3. I think Dawntrail as a whole did a much better job at adapting the themes of FF9 than, say, post-Endwalker did with the themes of FF4. As others have said, the cutscene direction has been great lately, Calyx's expression right before

Whatever you think of Dawntrail, it has shown twice that can definitely stick a landing.

I'm watching a friend play through Ocarina of Time for the first time and how tf do yall call this game "linear"??

I don't want remakes of old games, I want lovingly crafted ports of old games that preserve the original, warts and all, while looking good on modern displays. Make old games legally accessible to a new crowd of people that never got to play them!

www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrrl... Come to the premiere of Paradox: Tales from Hell and stay for a Q&A with me and other cast members! Lirael is such a fun character to voice (she is the sin of Envy, after all) and I can't wait for you all to hear all the other AMAZING voice actors!

Happy Kingdom Hearts Day to those who celebrate

Man, nothing kills the excitement for a project faster than seeing ChatGPT text in the script

This animator did a really good job doing what I usually do: taking old manual artwork and animating it. Except they took the idea to completion with a whole commercial for the original Legend of Zelda! Give it a watch, it's very well done.

I really want to get into the Persona series, but I want to start from the beginning.

Gotta say, folks. COVID isn’t over. I don’t have it. But two people that I love do, as of last night. One is in the hospital. Please, please take care.

I wanted the Kingdom Hearts version of my Pokémon GO summer, dammit!

Oh no :( I was actually really looking forward to the GPS gameplay, it sounded really interesting and I would've loved to play with other KH fans where I live

Ahhh new phone UI it's so clicky!!

I’m back as The Alchemist! Tremble before me! As always, I appreciate the chance to be completely psycho! Please support the project and everyone in it! m.youtube.com/watch?v=Zk5l...

After upgrading Anglerwood to Unity 6, I was up til 3 am last night trying to figure out why my whole game was yellow.

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

And this is the fundamental problem with "Use ChatGPT, just check the results": If you're going to have to then go get an actual book and look up the actual facts, why use the nonsense generator at all?

Time to see what the fuss is about

Stop saying “post covid”. People are confusing the end of the public health emergency with the end of the pandemic. The pandemic is not over. “During COVID” is now. If we want to end it, we need to first acknowledge this fact. Then mask up, clean the air & develop better vaccines & treatments.

I am loving the art style for Metroid Prime 4! Well done, Retro Studios!!

Please stop using ChatGPT in general, but also, please, please stop using it and then taking what it says to you as fact. It's usually wrong! It doesn't fact check itself. It just creates approximations of information based on other text! It's basically magnetic poetry that sets the world ablaze.

unity's survey here claiming "the vast majority" of devs are both positive about and using AI is really interesting because the more I look at this survey the more confused it seems. 300 responses, nearly all quotes are from CEOs. www.gamedeveloper.com/production/u...

I think I'm getting to the end of Tales of Phantasia and can I just say this fan translation was so unhinged

Happy Twin Peaks Day, my friends ☕️

Wow, the water avatars really can't catch a break

PSA: All of David Lynch's features have just dropped at archive dot org, including Industrial Symphony No 1, Hotel Room, and the Duran Duran concert

Best thing I've read all week. www.404media.co/you-cant-pos...

Dang, I was kinda looking forward to this series

the official Bratz Facebook page posted a David Lynch tribute and this was one of the images. so of course I had to share it.

Man, I am gonna miss The Dragon Prince. I so hope they greenlight that third arc they planned.

BS The Legend of Zelda (1995) was an adventure RPG by Nintendo on the Super Famicom. It's a remake of the original NES game and broadcast by St. GIGA via the Satellaview service. The land of Hyrule is under threat from Ganon's evil! But instead of Link saving the day, it's you! (a rebuilt thread)

spoke to the wonderful Mary Reber — who owns Laura Palmer’s house and plays a memorable role in The Return — about David Lynch, death, trauma, and the Twin Peaks fans she’s been connecting with for years www.vulture.com/article/mary...

“It started as a respiratory illness – or so everyone thought. But it quickly became apparent that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, was so much more” We desperately need more reporting like this making it crystal clear that Covid is not “just” a respiratory virus.
