Do I have qualms about FFVIII Remastered? Yes. Did I just pick it up once again to have a physical version of my favorite game for Switch? Also yes.

The Game of The Year goes to #Expedition33! #TheGameAwards #tga #tga#tga2025

I didn't think there was any better use of Werner Herzog than in the intro for Conan O'Brien Must Go, or even in The Mandalorian, but this takes the cake.

One of the categories they deserved the most!

Doug Ford, 2 days ago: "You have to come back to work" Doug Ford, today: "I'm taking a 102-day vacation, byeeeee"

This is an all-timer Bad Decision and Bob Iger needs to be ousted immediately.

Looking forward to having this song break my heart clean in half later on today.

SO much work has gone into this chapter for Warframe. The game is more accessible now than it's ever been. Now is the time to finally give the game a shot if you haven't yet!

Just going to scream this from the rooftops in the hopes that someone with connections at Square Enix hears it, but... please commission Peach Momoko to do more illustrations for Final Fantasy and any other SE IP! She's perhaps the most distinctive artist I can name since Yoshitaka Amano himself.

It's telling, perhaps, that Altman's example of something he doesn't understand without ChatGPT is something you might first ask a woman for her expertise about.

There's a lot of cool stuff coming up this week, but I don't think anything can top my excitement for Warframe's "The Old Peace" update. Like... I've been waiting years for Metroid Prime 4, and I may drop it like Andy dropping Woody to get into this story mission ASAP.

*finally*

I’ve been away and thus haven’t picked up my copy of Metroid Prime 4 yet, so seeing The Discourse online has been extra tiring. Can’t wait to get my hands on it and experience it for myself.

I think I took a wrong turn on my way to pick up Metroid.

we have to go back. to warn them.

This week on Datalog, we broke down 7 Reasons To Be Hyped For Octopath Traveler 0!

“Fuck, I could watch weird fucking Canadian TV all day.”

The responses and evasion here are ghoulish (and, somehow, vapid at the same time).

I got this for Christmas a couple years ago and I unironically love it. Any father in your life needs one, trust me. Hell, any household could use one. This is my most fervent suburbanite advice.

weeeeeeeeeee Who needs animations?

I'm a 8653, but that last digit could really change so much by the day.

I learned a bunch of words from playing Final Fantasy on NES, and now, years later, my son is doing the same thing with Pokémon. Language in games doesn't need to be so dumbed down.

I’ve been on the fence since the open beta, but I’m gonna give Kirby a chance.

Marit Stiles called Doug Ford and his government corrupt and he kicked her out of the Legislature. Doug’s not a big fan of the truth and I’m pretty sure he’s allergic to integrity. This petition - iagreewithmaritstiles.ca - has nearly 4,600 signatures. Let’s keep sharing it. #DougFordIsCorrupt

Real dick move by Google here: if you turn off these invasive Gemini features, suddenly you lose access to the Updates, Promotions, and Social tabs too - basic functionality that has existed for a long time.

Missed opportunity to release them together as "Picross SNK vs Capcom: Mark of the Quarter Century"

Heading into the final two hours with Jackbox games and about 2/3 of the way to our fundraising goal!

Starting tonight, my team is taking part in its TENTH fundraiser for EXTRA LIFE! We’ll be streaming games for 24 hours to raise funds for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals - help us make a difference for kids and families by tuning in, spreading the word, or donating if you’re able!

Who would win: A) a game from an under-utilized franchise, which we've been waiting 8 years for or B) one chatty guy

25 years ago I begged my dad to let me rent Final Fantasy IX, after reading about it for months in magazines. He finally caved so long as I didn’t get too far if I still wanted to get it for Christmas. I may have made it well into disc 2 on that rental, but getting it for Christmas wasn’t a waste.

"Oh, am I being too *annoying*? You know what's annoying? Taking a shift for JERRY, of all people, and then getting teleported to some godforsaken planet halfway across the galaxy! I'm not even supposed to BE here today!"

“Metroid Prime 4: Beyond respects the player's intelligence and gives you just enough to push through without extra help, and solving each puzzle feels great.” https://www.cgmagonline.com/articles/previews/metroid-prime-4-beyond-2/ #MetroidPrime4 #Nintendo

It's almost like when you tax the rich in a place you get to make that place a better place and even the rich just looking out the windows of their limos at most of that place in passing prefer to think "oh, that looks nice" rather than "I must prepare my bunker for the impending apocalypse"

I love that you can at least still StreetPass Miyamoto at the Nintendo Museum so long after the 3DS' time.

wow....

End of an era.

The *real* Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition just dropped, thank you McElroy Family

Just opened MTG Arena for the first time in awhile and saw they banned sweet lil’ guy Vivi… but they also banned the true abomination, Screaming Nemesis, so I can live with this.

The *only* thing I don't like about Brie Larson as Rosalina for the new Mario Movie is that it could prevent her from playing Samus someday, should a project like that ever come to pass. But the chances of that seem slim, and she's a perfect choice for Rosalina.

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.
