The only Ubisoft game I've played in about a decade that was genuinely great. Basically Breath of the Wild minus a lot of the annoyances.

I'd really love to see the term "RPG" in video games die out entirely. It's functionally meaningless, beyond "has stats and you can level up," and that's not what role-playing is. Hell, Telltale games are closer to the actual meaning of the term than basically anything else.

How has this video evaded my YouTube algorithm for so long!?? 😭😭

I move that "aynnh" should be accepted as universal onomatopoeic shorthand for "I'ma chew on you until you acknowledge me like you should, motherfucker." All swears included.

You know, if it wouldn't more or less guarantee an early death by heart attack, I could subsist on raspberry jelly doughnuts.

GIVE ME SOMETHING TO BREAK

Challenge: it is January 1st, 1982. It falls to you to name your personal favorite three games of 1981. Which do you choose and why?

"Sir, I'm afraid even our best linen armor could not stand up to the determination of Tank." "I assume you mean the M-1 Abrams?" "No, sir. I mean Pvt. Jones's dog."

This is obviously for comedic effect, but it's not wrong. If you're preemptively modifying your personality to suit a potential partner, one of two things is happening: 1. They're not right for you. 2. You are hiding your light under a bushel. The right one will see you and appreciate you for you.

It's interesting how Sifu and Ninja Gaiden 4 rely on similar gaming instincts of timing and placement/distance, but the feel of each is entirely dissimilar.

Might I know someone familiar with Switch file structure who can help me extract audio from a game? Please and thank you. 🙂

There are few thIngs as pathetic as the average everyday individual who laughs at those who advocate for better treatment of the average everyday individual.

Spent some time with Sifu and completed the first level. Not without a few deaths along the way, but yeah, this is my jam. I foresee getting wrapped up in this.

The simplest, most immutable truth of the internet: it takes no intelligence to be a troll. This is why they are so common. For some reason, they are (without exception) eager to tell you how stupid they are.

Okay, that's an awesome idea. PS1 coasters! www.facebook.com/share/r/1UoP...

"I voted my conscience" is the political equivalent of sending thoughts and prayers.

Kid who?

I've never understood the appeal of grudge sex. Getting off with some weird Japanese ghost kid croaking at you the whole time? People and their fetishes, I swear.

The sad thing is, much as I don't want to believe it, I suspect Veidt was right.

Hey, you. I hope you're having a good evening. And if you're not, please hang in there. This is just a moment. It will pass. I hope you'll be here tomorrow. I'll be here to say hello.

goddammit

Checking out Watchmen Chapter II and it underscores something: each interpretation is its own beast, much like Hitchhiker's Guide. So many takes on a core premise, none inherently illegitimate. But everyone brings their own baggage to the experience

My genuine suspicion is that, if you were not alive and cognizant at the time it represents, you will NEVER understand Watchmen. In a way completely inextricable from its context.

Universal truism: May you receive the fate you wish for others not like you.

The snake behind me hisses what my damage could have been.

This little shit knows she's cute.

Being a monoglot is no stain on one's character, but I have endless respect for everyone who heard another language and thought, "I want to learn." My knowledge of Japanese is deeply flawed/broken. But I want to know more. And I love that part of myself. Learn another language. It will improve you.

This trailer was obviously made with emulated footage, as the retail release never performed nearly that well, but GODDAMN, I would pay for a 4K60 rerelease of these games. They were so good. @suckerpunchprod.bsky.social, please! Nothing fancy! Just give us a modern port! Pretty please!

I want Ninja Gaiden 4's OST in a format I can take wherever I want without worrying about connectivity.. *dons the Soundtrack-Ripping Gauntlet* Fine. I'll do it myself.

I have discovered Josh Johnson's weekly sets, and I love this guy. Eloquent, kind, incisive, and always funny. He's rapidly becoming one of my all-time favorite stand-up comedians.

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars": ".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great." @variety.com $DIS variety.com/2025/film/ne...

I've been curious about Sifu since its release, but was very hesitant to pick it up at full price, since I'm not sure how it'll click with me. Should I pull the trigger at $12.49?

Greetings to all my new followers. I have a message for you

Fiancee and I watched Weapons last night. Pretty solid stuff, and the reveal (and slight tonal shift) worked FAR better than they did in Cregger's previous movie, Barbarian... which was a movie I genuinely loved until it took a hard right into outright idiocy at the last second.

I don't think enough people appreciate just what a great pun "Oneechanbara" is.

I am the unreliable narrator of my own life.

Gremlins 3, because everything from last century must be dug up and paraded around like we're all living in a Weekend at Bernie's spinoff.

I have given the cat many aggressive forehead smooches. She is less than happy with me.

Of all of Reagan's many, many misdeeds, repealing the Fairness Doctrine may well be the most destructive and egregious. It truly is a shame there's no Hell in which he could burn.

"The LLM is literally just reading the stat sheet and trying to narrate the flow of the game as if it has any idea what's happening." I mean, Todd just summed up the entirety of how LLMs work in a single sentence, but MOVING ON.

I will not be denied. Now to see about printing an English insert.

Looking at the comments on Ninja Gaiden 4 reviews really underscores why fandoms are poison and validating them is always, ALWAYS a bad idea.

Might some kind soul be able to point me to a soundtrack rip for Ninja Gaiden 4?

Holy shit. @shmuplations.bsky.social translated a massive thread of old tweets from Hideo Yoshizawa that goes deep into the NES Ninja Gaiden's development, including finally confirming the Castlevania influence shmuplations.com/ninjagaiden/

rocks

This is absolutely batshit insane and I love it.
