observing old people, who can't remember what it was like to be a child, complaining that nintendo games are being made for some kind of secret demographic they've never heard of

"oh PSN was down? 🤔 didn't notice since I can just pop a cartridge into my NES 🤪" your 72 pin connector is deteriorating. third party replacement parts will become scarce with time. the past is growing ever distant and eventually all of your relics - and you - will be gone.

we disguise level transitions by driving to the player's house and hitting them on the head with a hammer right before a loading screen appears

this game is wearing me down both physically and mentally but I'm so determined to beat it again.... gotta be mindful of not ruining my evenings just to see the credits... it's so close to being precision platforming perfection but it has a lot of little things working against it.

Stardew Valley inventory: the musical

isaac has been my comfort game in recent months but it might be time to stop going from the highs of a 50+ minute glitched crown run to a 50+ minute no damage up run that I end up losing on the second last boss

We discussed with KinkyOats how he got into YTPMV and Otomads, origins of the Octagon collaboration, and more! Our second publication of our interview series, Re:cords, is up now!

yup. wings of vi is exactly as difficult as I remember it being. my ass was whining through every attempt at this fight but fuck if it isn't awesome.

did I need to make a review video? probably not but I've been enjoying doing that so here it is

this is how every video essay starts. you go: "ah, the simpsons. no introduction needed for this popular franchise." and then you introduce it like you're reading from wikipedia.

learned how to cleanup romsets so I'm proud to announce I no longer have 6,000 pre-release builds of Petz Hamsterz 2 clogging up my hard drive

it feels wrong to be disappointed at creative output being ignored. I should be enjoying the process. lifting up the work of others if I want the same. but man it's hard. so much of my time and energy goes towards work and recovering from work. the fact that I do anything of interest is a miracle.

set up batocera on an old desktop and for my hard work I got to play: - taz-mania - angry birds nes port - robocop vs terminator why did I do any of this?

want to make a real one soon but my brain is a slave forced to only think about whatever the parasites inside it are excited about

I propose we do away with numbers-based ratings and rank games on this two axes list instead

might just stop adding ratings to my game reviews. it's almost compulsory given they're all going on backloggd, but I can't stand to look at my 2-star reviews and give the impression that ice climber is anywhere near as bad as superhot.

video review trying to make sure I do these when I can, even if they're a little ham-fisted. decent writing and recording practice.

I cannot express enough how awesome Mosa Lina is as a cooperative game. it's become my #1 pick to show friends.

how does wario64 keep posting about deals I don't care about while bluesky is down

People always complaining about unnecessary sex scenes but imagine Warioware without them

dumb as a hole 26 lo-fi synth-y experimental-y pop-y rock-y whatever the fuck all recorded on hardware girambquamb.bandcamp.com/album/dumb-a... distrokid.com/hyperfollow/... free to download, free to spread around, and free to come to my apartment and beat me up (not including travel expenses)

last heavy rain post but I really did spend like 10% of my playthrough doing shit like this

ok it's late but I pumped out da video review

don't get me wrong either, this is the antithesis of an Aidan coded game and there are a lot of flaws. but getting like, a vague whiff of how people talk about this game you'd think it was downright awful.

*guy who didn't realize he went to the nazi pet store instead of the regular pet store* $14.88 for a dog whistle?!?! that's ridiculous!!

got to try out meta glasses at work and it's fucked up that people can just walk around on the street with these

roommate briefly explained some of the mixtape discourse and I can't stress enough that gamers should pick up hobbies like playing video games

Did vocals on one of these tracks!! Happy to be involved and support my brother 🫡

aidan's tips for avoiding modern video game discourse: - don't buy games - play the binding of isaac over and over - gather friends and go to archipelago.gg for your multiplayer needs it's awesome I don't know and definitely don't care about whatever people are mad at mixtape over

me when the card says "moops"

I just remembered someone on the godot subreddit showing off a concept where a game would show extra stuff through the obs capture.... there's more potential here than I realized....

streamer mode button in the options menu that just triggers a jumpscare

I will never finish another game this year on account of being back on both my isaac shit and my randomizer shit

can any isaac heads tell me if there's a weird interaction with duplicated items + ed6 or did I just lose thirty one 3/4 chances to reroll these

I think a lot of us fall victim to wanting to argue on the internet. I'm no exception - it just calls to me sometimes. but 999/1000 times it's not worth the toxic dopamine... be strong...

@girambquamb.com check it out

Spike TV Robot Chicken Tosh.O etc. were created to act as surrogate older brothers for families who had theirs killed in the Iraq war.

god internet slang has absolutely ruined naming things. roommate just pointed out to me that the name I like for the album could be read as extremely incel-y because of some term I've never even seen used in my life.

I think that the more time passes the funnier it will be to use a bored ape profile picture as your april fools funny, but you've really gotta charge it up. another 5 years at least.

idk the internet is still pretty cool. youtube's got me rewatching old folding ideas videos. I'm subscribed to /r/speedrun and get to see little grains of internet drama in niche communities. I keep getting invited to discord servers by friends even though I'm not horribly talkative.

and the eden streak finally ends exactly how I expected it to: starting a run with one health and dying to something that does a full heart of damage at least I got to experience the joy of a run that started with death certificate 🥲

this was a pipe dream but it will be out soon-ish I swear

as long as I'm talking about music, more people should give phish a shot. don't let the mega fans or where the band sits in the broader music culture scare you away from just listening to the (very very good) studio albums. a picture of nectar is a fantastic starting point imo

Ween - Chocolate Town Beck - Painted Eyelids Phish - Reba R. Stevie Moore - I Wanna Hit You Frank Zappa - G-Spot Tornado The Beach Boys - Busy Doin' Nothin' Estradasphere - Hardball Gorillaz - Man Research (Clapper) 100 gecs - Billy Knows Jamie Unknown Mortal Orchestra - From the Sun

This kind of mixed use urban planning is illegal in America

redditors hate this, but I think it's actually awesome to go to a subreddit like /r/synthesizers or /r/boardgames so you can look at posts titled "6 months since I joined the hobby" and it's thousands of dollars worth of stuff in one photo
