In Super Mario Sunshine, Mario is immune to bees while talking. He will be pushed around by them, but not be harmed while he's engaged in conversation. Note that he is not simply immune to damage - e.g. he will still die to heat stroke while talking. It is specifically bees.

more than "you should play bad games because a maligned game might be good" i would prefer if the positive contrarian dogma was "you should play games that genuinely interest you regardless of what other people think" because holy shit the former leads to a lot of turning your misery into Content

You know what, this is much better than the last time I've seen this song associated with hockey lol

YOU GUYS WANNA SEE SOMETHING CURSED???? HOW ABOUT NEON GENESIS LEHIGH VALLEY PHANTOMS HOCKEY?????

And yet, a trace of the true self remains in the false self

I repurposed my previous PC into a bazzite machine by shoving a 9070XT into it to replace the 4080 I pulled out of it to build my new PC It's great and I love it, but I know I just introduced the same CPU bottleneck I had before and it's taking willpower to not make similar upgrades to this PC

To be fair, the ps5 was only really able to be purchased by most people for at most three of those years

My favorite trailer thing is when (usually in 2d) something happens on the screen and then clever editing transitions into a new scene with the same characters in the same positions, especially when the two scenes have very different art styles

Tron Bonne for Explo!

that’s what I’ve been saaaayying maaan

Reasonable development schedules and compensation for their developers

Heads up for folx playing Arc Raiders: Embark has openly stated (in an interview with GamesRadar+), that the game uses the same AI voice tech as The Finals, and the CEO has talked about using AI to generate 3D models from YouTube rips. If you're anti-AI you should not be playing Arc Raiders!

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

The name Manfred is the human equivalent of Spongebob

This is the most fucked Sonic Heroes team

I can't help but smile a little every time I am not in Hawaii (which is, alas, most of the time) and see a vehicle with Hawaiian license plates

The programmers of the Donkey Kong arcade left a message in the code to hackers mockingly congratulating them and offering to teach them as a joke. A group of bootleggers actually took this seriously and contacted the company asking for help pirating their own game.

This game is a very cool take on a precision platformer where you can't jump in the traditional sense but you do have a baseball bat and Newton's Third Law. It's somewhat open but not metroidvania (iirc) and is worth giving a shot before you see people absolutely blow this game up in a few months

Bat to the Heavens is part of AGDQ 2026 and RTA in Japan!! A celebratory SALE!!! yay!!! try it before the speedrunners go crazy and enjoy the runs!!

Still need more baseball? We found a CD in our archives containing dozens of unused voice lines from MLB Slugfest 20-03 rejected by the MLB. Here's some of our favorites.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

If you're a millennial like me and think modern brain rot is ruining our society remember that our generation was raised on things like all your base and badger badger badger and peanut butter jelly time so I for one welcome our new 67 overlords

Backstreet Brawl #12: Take a Seat will be our last hurrah for 2025, taking place on November 22nd at the usual spot in Highline College. We have lots in store, including Uni 2, SF6, Guilty Gear Strive, Tekken 8, GBVSR and Skullgirls! Early bird reg ends this Sunday! www.start.gg/tournament/b...

As a huge New York Style Hot Dog fan for years, felt compelled to recreate the poster in a high resolution and managed to find the original photo used in the texture Many thanks to folks from VGPC for help with identifying blobs, especially Prominos and TBemme bekoha.github.io/yakuza/New%2...

I'm so mad that this was actually just Saruman what the fuck this was supposed to be an off-brand wizard

ok so if you skip past the ending in the 9th the game will continue reading innings as normal; eventually this overflows the score buffer and you'll see by the pitch diagram that we've been writing very precise locations to memory aaand (Bad Apple suddenly manifests in the stadium, audience claps)

I’m watching an illegal stream of the game on tik tok and the host has to use filters to keep the feed up so im consuming this hell game like this fyi

Been awake since what is effectively 3am (though I did sleep a bit on the plane) and after much traveling am home Climax this year was a top 5 major for me. I went in expecting to be humbled and I'm happy to say I was disappointed. On top of that, lots of good food, good games, and good people.

recently discovered that wikipedia volunteers have a hilariously high bar for what constitutes "unusual death"

If you've never done it before I dare y'all to step outside your fighting game comfort zone. Learn a game that your scene isn't active in, bring a friend. Travel to a non-Evo tournament. There is so much more to the FGC than its biggest games and people. Long live the night. Excited for the future.

Hey @idolshowdown.bsky.social we have an oshiball money match going on at post-Climax of Night casuals
