Does anyone have any advice to stop coming in 2nd in every single competitive game I ever play? Asking for a friend.

Class is in session! 🗣️ With the uptick in interest for Star Fox, I've taken the basics of its lore and compiled it into an easy-to-digest summary that takes less than 15 minutes of your time! For newbies who don't mind spoilers! youtu.be/rABv9GIup9c

I had a vision

FALCO YOU CAN'T... I mean I guess it's 2006 so it makes sense that you'd say that, but that's an INSANE line to have Falco Lombardi drop.

Yeah I'll step up to bat a bit late. Limited myself to one per series, or else uh, there's a lot more DK to be shared around. I also don't care for "overhated" or "underrated" and whatnot; I already know my opinions are weird, so I just swapped those out for categories I thought were neater!

Got back from the Mario Galaxy movie and it's... a very interesting feeling I'm feeling. I'll keep it spoiler-free and just go off vibes. This feels like a fan film with infinite budget and limited time, and I mean that in the most complimentary and derogatory ways. I had fun, but just a bit.

Games used to have writing.

Even when the excitement’s gone and the story’s over, look at what you made. That quiet contentment at the end, that stability you never thought you’d have, is worth the lifetime you put in.

Thank Hylia for the New Day. I'm not a big Zelda guy. But something about the structure of Majora's Mask and how it ties into its villain - literally a corrupted facsimile of a heart - enraptures me. I tackled every bit of lore and angle I could take to dissect what makes Majora work, check it out!

For-fun question: Who are non-video game characters who you consider to be video game legends? Characters who you could line up with guys like Kirby or Kratos or whoever and go "yeah, they can stack up with the impact they've had on this medium", or their impact in games transcends their origins?

Ebenezer Scrooge meeting with the third spirit of the night

Going through very old Top 100 Games lists for research, found this one from IGN in 2005. Very fascinating stuff emblematic of the time - FF7 and 10 only in the 80's, Mario 1 still at #1, Donkey Kong shows up not at all. ... and this is the 69th greatest game ever. I am now intensely interested.

ok the default thumbnail was really funny so I kept it The philosophy behind 3D platforming levels has changed since its inception. Back in the day, Banjo-Kazooie's Click Clock Wood was one of the best. Now... it's complicated, and I wanna talk about that complication in full.

This is a video for a friend. He's gone now, but the subject meant a lot to him, and inspired him as he inspired me. So here's a story on a silly Kirby villain, and how so much creativity emerged from his influence, tone, and originality.

It's The Muppet Show with our very special guest star Rayquaza!

Live now!!

Is the day. I don't think I grow wiser every year, or smarter or more fit and certainly not more handsome until Keeps sponsors me. But the past few years, I've felt better. That it's ok being me, and there's something that can be celebrated and shared. I hope you're feelin' that way about you, too

I am a child, this made me cackle. Romani will never awaken.

Why does Guru Guru’s story in Majora’s Mask read like a Johnny Test villain? “I was in the animal troupe” *whipcrack* “Waitwaitwait… YOU in the animal troupe? For animals?” “Man is an animal too” *whipcrack* “I was good… but the leader was THE DOG” *three whipcracks, dog barks, everyone claps*

I hate when I sit in a restaurant going for early 2000's nostalgia with the music. Not because it's bad, but because where everyone else is enjoying the music for music, I go "where do I know this fro-- right. Donkey Konga 2. Again." I swear I'm not the same joke all the time. Just most of it.

Hey y'all, I know this doesn't fall into my normal Digimon output but this was a super big passion project and it's having a little trouble getting off the ground. Would mean a lot if we could help boost it a bit!

Kong Quest podcast going live NOW! Come in! We're yelling about hit game Clair Obscur and also things that aren't French! Come in, hang out! Or don't, be those who come after and snark after the fact!

I hate that this is the best picture I've taken of myself in years and it's "slutty baguette thumbnail".

Clair Obscur beated. I am now emotionally unwell. In a good way. He is my special boy and I would do anything for him. I'm going to go to other games and ask "where's Esquie?" How much sewing do I need to learn to cosplay him.

What's your favorite game from every Nintendo console you've owned? GB(C): Pokemon Red SNES: Kirby Super Star N64: Banjo-Kazooie GBA: Metroid ZM GCN: Paper Mario TTYD DS: Elite Beat Agents Wii: Fire Emblem RD 3DS: Kirby Planet Robobot WiiU: Sonic &ASRT Switch: Theatrhythm FBL Switch 2: DK Bananza

Fellas I gotta say, there is incredible power in becoming old. I told a group of kids I was coaching in theater "I might add 6 7 to the show, won't that be funny?" They cringed and responded "It might be old by then." "Good." I said. They were defeated. I was out of touch on purpose and invincible

Hydrogen Wight Guy Vs Coughing Dragon Please enjoy this discussion on important matters like "is Yugioh like a fighting game?", "does Kirby have nipples?", "is the nerdy guy from Metroid Prime 4 actually Lugia?", and so much more!

I try not to purchase things at cons unless they REALLY reach out and speak to me, or are "I would purchase on sight anyway," This keeps me from buying every Kirby I see. .,. @animelosangeles.bsky.social is my absolute weakness. Always an incredible con with unmatched kindness and camaraderie.

The absolute tragedy of seeing this new card, going “oh hell yeah my entire aesthetic”, liking every art so that I’ll be fed a ton of pictures of him, and then today looking up what his actual name is. My timeline is a disaster now I DIDNT KNOW.

The more you all support this, the better chance I have at coming back and dethroning whoever wins and @protonjon.bsky.social (who I am now officially 1-1 with ignore all other records and the validity thereof) in VGM Trivia knowingness. Please watch. Tarv put on an incredible show.

I take it all back it's not a bit I get an idea and cannot stop my poor financial decisions. I didn't even mean to I just saw it in a window and inquired and gaslit myself until I could justify getting it after they called the owner. Help.

Donkey Kong fans in December 2024: Will EPD’s Donkey Kong game ever be announced? Will K. Rool be in it? Donkey Kong fans today: Yeah, so do your best to dodge the Peekaboopoids and manage the Rolluskoids to get to the Stompoids and you should have Ghastly King waiting for you back on DK Island.

I know I lean into the "haha wow look it's Donkey Kong" bit a lot, but genuinely, getting able to collect a bunch of themed merch and things to decorate shelf has become my favorite little passtime. Just a bunch of DK stuff I picked up or found this year to hopefully work as a room/video backdrop!

Hey, Amalia went into the depths to properly source everything for this video after decades of this franchise having a spotty-at-best track record for who said what. As a big bear-bird-witch enthusiast, very comfy watch, do recommend, support my friends please they're cooler than me.

My elder dog's taste in men is terrible. Rather than take any of her toys, every day, she is coming into my room and taking from my plush collection Heihachi Mishima and nuzzling her head in his bald spot. She's not even chewing him she's just spooning this goblin man!

You can now buy Danganronpa for like 1/10th of the price I paid to read it slowly translated post by post in a Let's Play on SomethingAwful like a decade and a half ago. What a time to be alive. I'm not saying you SHOULD, but I'm saying you CAN.

Whatever go my Rambi Rider

Hey I'm gonna bully this man into fighting K. Rool in DKC1 tonight. Chat he doesn't know. Come. www.youtube.com/watch?v=axYS...

I've been waiting a long time for this moment. This is a full documentary on King K. Rool, his character, his boss fights, and his fall from grace along with the DK series. But more importantly, it is the story of how DK's fanbase rallied to make a series in limbo shine again under one jolly roger.

Every time I go to a con, I always try to find something to expand the "streamer shelf". Which usually means some piece of DK memorabilia that looks cool. Found some neat stuff, sealed DKC strategy guide, boxed copy of Super Donkey Kong... This find is my favorite, though. Thanks, Halcon!

Thank you @halconscificon.bsky.social for having me yet again. As always it was a friggin' blast. And I have video evidence right HERE! www.youtube.com/watch?v=T807... Thanks again to @protonjon.bsky.social & @pyrrhickong.bsky.social & MYSTERY GUEST! Watch til the end people. Trust me.

I'm imagining myself watching TV... AND THERE IT IS! Brand new video out right now breaking down the star of Deltarune Chapter 3, Mr. (Ant) Tenna! Enjoy the overproduction! Thrive in the desperation of existence! Break down how Deltarune handles escapism from BOTH sides of the screen! Tune in NOW!

Blurry attempt at a selfie with @pyrrhickong.bsky.social and @protonjon.bsky.social Thank you for being a friend(s).

In 30 minutes we will be LIVE debuting our brand new Podcast Kong Quest!! www.youtube.com/live/YhX4uqK... See you all there!

Hey I'm making a new podcast. If you want my total unfiltered thoughts on the Donkey Kong game, plus other stuff too I guess, come on by! It's like a book club for games, but we decide who gets to pick through ego-destroying competition! Starts tomorrow on the Designing For channel at 1PM PS!

You ever think, if people spent half of the time they spend arguing about video games actually playing them, esports might actually be sustainable? I say this to excuse my lack of FPS skills for the time spent arguing about Persona and Smash Bros

Have a new project brewing! Come, hang out, bear witness this Sunday, November 3rd, for a thing which I will be a part of!
