Here are 4 ways to explore #gaming for cheap . Hope this helps folks newer to games.

I still can't get past that picking up a $5 bill and getting put under a serial killer's basement analogy That was unhinged

You see this dude in a movie and you gotta lock in

Because every time a game studio has to move resources over to making a trailer, it causes the game to lose about 4 months of actual dedicated development iteration time.

This has been on my mind for awhile too, cuz it's competing with F2P games like Fortnite, League, Apex, etc. but you're paying $60 to play while those other games are free and get better updates On the other end, it's competing with AAA-games, but those offer more complete experiences & modes also

Virtua Fighter Crossroads and how they've marketed it is very telling with regards to the state of modern fighting games. Basically in the kindest way possible they're highlighting that this isn't a Fighting Game in the way we know it because its actually gonna be a Finished Video Game.

Pat & Woolie VS FFXIV: Sephirothposting vs Cozystreaming @patstaresat.bsky.social 1/2

Now's a cool time to share I was a production assistant on a Knicks commercial in 2019 www.instagram.com/p/B3-zQP-lLrA/

Its legit frying me that the one game Trump went to, the Knicks lost

I don't know what kind of cope is going over at Vanillware but I remember this pretty vividly, where Atlus wanted to port Unicorn Overlord but an agreement with Vanillaware expressly forbade it. www.destructoid.com/unicorn-over...

The SF6 tournament at Evo Japan 2026 set a world record for largest tournament turn-out. A steep decline in Evo Vegas attendance doesn't signal anything for the popularity of fighting games. It DOES signal the US becoming a hostile travel destination, a bad economy, & Evo spreading itself too thin.

Looking at the green-eyed bird design on Yasmine's karambit knife has me convinced they modeled her hairstyle after the crest feathers of the endangered national bird of the Philippines, the Phillippine eagle.

I would go even further to say that anyone who would be interested in Phantom Blade Zero probably isn't the type of person to be hype over GTA in general. If you're excited for a Wuxia action game, open world sandbox crime movie game is probably not cutting into your disposable income.

This is the latest VF and it has full cross-play as well as a seasoned, passionate community. If the VF Crossroads trailer piqued your interest then it's a great time to start learning. Fight CPUs in World Stage mode or find mentors/veterans! We will welcome you with open arms! #VirtuaFighter #VFCR

Check out these guns! I just had to draw @wooliewoolz.bsky.social 's new girl on the block, cause her design is just so sick, dude! #ffxiv

Amazing article. Not just for game developers. But a good mentality to have for creatives in every field.

Feels like ever since Pac’s death. People been wanting to see him everywhere except Thug’s Mansion. Let him rest. ENOUGH.

It's because happy courtside Spike Lee looks the way Toriyama would have drawn him in Dr. Slump.

Ok but why though you could add like....literally anyone alive and it would "add value"

Dogpiling became social media's preferred dopamine hit almost immediately after the quote post was implemented as a feature. That wasn't a bug.

Economy so bad, got Vanillaware putting games on PC

@wooliewoolz.bsky.social & @mtl-reggie.bsky.social getting a warm welcome at the FGC retirement home with @patstaresat.bsky.social

Todays video is LIVE and we got a lot of new info about Virtua Fighter Crossroads thanks to a LOT of new developer interviews that have hit the internet. Pai getting Older, Satan Shark returns, and a lot more! youtu.be/thOVEXL2JfM

I would MAYBE complain about remakes if I actually had enough time to even get through all the original, new games that come out lol

Our teams for the Sajam Slam! Every time should have some sick vibes/good duos, who are you rooting for?

I said it all weekend, but if your game is releasing on PC and Switch 2? Release it in November. Assert dominance, most of your sales aren't getting impacted by GTA anyway and you won't have to compete with 20 more.

Looking at it closer, no, I don't think genAI was necessarily used anywhere in this - I think it's a bunch of poorly mismatched assets and bad trace-work done by a not very skilled artist, slapped together badly against an ugly backdrop made of 3D assets with an "art" filter on top of it.

Mifune is a beloved actor who died of natural causes, his character in Onimusha can also be seen as an acting role posthumously by the culture he is from and respected, Tupac was murdered and is being used as a prop by people not of his culture to generate hype so a white man can get a paycheck.

nintendo is one of the most consistent companies in the industry so like I'm not really concerned over a lack of first party titles in that direct "are they making a new mario tho" what the fuck do you think. Ask yourself that sincerely

Even if majority of the direct was ports of games, I think its a good sign Switch 2 getting more than a handful of token third party games and getting games that genuinely felt out of reach means to me that Switch 2 is basically the target platform for multiplat games

Nintendo taking all of the Japanese games and devs from Sony

you are morally obligated to buy muramasa on PC so vanillaware puts their other shit there and stops almost dying every game

Yeah if it wasn’t obvious before, it definitely is now.. Third parties are taking the Switch 2 VERY seriously. Thank GOODNESS man.

Sega posted actual gameplay footage of Crazy Taxi World Tour so there's something to go off of instead of the trailer, which didn't show anything. This looks bad. Like, very bad. The physics look weightless and I'm watching the gear shift and seeing it not move at all is appalling.

Very thankful to @sajamfgc.bsky.social for inviting me back to the Sajam Slam! Also glad to finally have @wooliewoolz.bsky.social coming along as well! Can't wait to get some matches in!

Wait, is this just a straight reskin of that mode from LAD:IW/Pirate Yakuza with a vibrant toon shader? The lack of camera movement and stopping on a dime looks like the physics are near identical.

This is also a case on how generational wealth can be stolen from Black people.

Just made myself a bastardized/DIY-ish italian carbonara for the first time Was not expecting it to be very filling, must be the cheese and egg mixture, so I only finished half of what I made so far

Hopefully Sega gets they teeth kicked in enough with all this bullshit they been pulling recently and learn all the necessary lessons they need to learn before Virtua Fighter 6 comes out lol

The artist of the amazing new key art for #Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, Katsuya Terada, was ALSO the artist who created what are often considered the most expressive and unique illustrations of the cast of #VirtuaFighter. It's so cool so see my passions intersect like this. 🥹

Good morning! Hey, sorry (not sorry) to be a nerd about it but did you know they announced motherfucking #VIRTUAFIGHTER SIX What a time to be alive...

One of the new Street Fighter characters is Filipino We're in Gundam, we're in Pokemon, they're eating our chicken in Final Fantasy and our ube everywhere else. Suck a fat one, Magellan

I think having diverse taste is healthy But I think a lot of people are “generalists” more for FOMO reasons and less out of genuine curiosity And FOMO gaming, in my opinion, is not healthy for the most part. Especially when it comes to discussion.

One of the coolest ways you can setup a new gen character for your franchise
