Nintendo’s games feel special in a way other developers can’t quite imitate. But why? According to @mackeza.bsky.social, author of Super Nintendo, an upcoming book about the Mario and Zelda maker, it’s because teams are intergenerational

Current and future fans of Sektori: The Secret Lives of Games invited me to co-interview the game‘s creator, Kimmo Lahtinen!

Sektori is one of the best games I’ve played all year. Design perfection, a fantastic soundtrack, it’s almost impossible for me to put down. I need every sicko reading this to play it. For @aftermath.site aftermath.site/sektori-shoo...

Those that like the game, really like the game. The enthusiasm gives me life. It is a very niche game. For people who play _video games_. Also as expected, I can see from the stats that the sub 25 year olds have zero time for this nonsense. It's the embarrassing "dad's tribute band" - the game.

Man, I’m still just having so much fun with Sektori. This is such a well polished game.

And because I’m biased, get Sektori on Xbox and get on those Arcade leaderboards. I’m *literally* the only person here… www.xbox.com/en-US/games/...

Y’all. I’ve been playing Sektori all weekend, and for $15, this has been PEAK twin-stick shump. The game has it all: tight shooting, badass soundtrack, amazing visuals, leaderboards for MANY game modes, skill based unlocks, “just one more run” gameplay loops, I can go on. youtu.be/yGWsLyZ0KPU

Ongaq:Stromatolite by TaQ from 2004 is my absolute, go-to, "I want to focus" album. It's just so good, well-paced, driving, but not overly distracting. TaQ still easily my favorite Bemani artist from that "era".

Y’all. The revival of @gameinformer.com is SO. GOOD. High quality print. Cover to cover game info. NO-ADs (okay, latest issue had on ad… for St. Jude.❤️) The first issue wasn’t a fluke. 2nd issue slaps. Please, please, please continue this.

I just discovered that the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom soundtrack was added to Nintendo Music recently. Such an incredible piece of work! Here's to trying to get through the rest of the workday without crying over how good this music is (I say while already leaking...)

I just love this image and want to reshare it somewhere. 😂🐔👟

The team that made this happen is super awesome!

So do people like… tie their shoes and have them stay tied as they wear them? Is that even possible?

Happy New Year 🦋🎊 🐈‍⬛ 🎮

I finally got around to trying this demo and it's awesome! Then I find out the game is ON SALE FOR ONE MORE DAY?!! That was a quick buy! Looking forward to exploring the game more! 😁

{⚔️} Day 1 of #CSSBattleDaily streak: Dec 23 — 601.19 score / 610 chars cssbattle.dev/play/hkqUzZ6... #CSSBattleChallenge via @cssbattle.dev I cleared the basics course this morning and learned a few new things to make this easier! It's still on sale for a few more days! :D

Found in my parent’s attic. This was the first metal mat I owned. It worked fine, but quickly started to fall apart with harder songs. I think I got it in 2002! Been in the attic space for 15 years.

{⚔️} Day 2 of #CSSBattleDaily streak: Dec 20 — 600.31 score / 752 chars cssbattle.dev/play/IuWJ0gm... #CSSBattleChallenge via @cssbattle.dev Yeah, I'm having fun with this. 😅 I need to start figuring out how to improve my score. 🤔

{⚔️} Day 1 of #CSSBattleDaily streak: Dec 19 — 600.24 score / 778 chars cssbattle.dev/play/9MLTvjX... #CSSBattleChallenge via @cssbattle.dev This piqued my interest the other day so I figured I'd give it a go. Was actually fun to pull off, but it's like baby steps. 😅

Happy 7th birthday to this image

I just completed "Ceres Search" - Day 4 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/4 This one looked scarier than it actually was, but I still had to make sure I was making good assumptions about the data. I'm sure there are very clever ways to solve this!

I just completed "Mull It Over" - Day 3 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/3 This one was easier for me, but I could see how this could get tricky or messy pretty fast. Thank you regex!

I just completed "Red-Nosed Reports" - Day 2 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/2 I'm going to have to buckle down my "just solve it, clean it later" habits here... Code got messy fast trying to figure out part 2. 😅

I just completed "Historian Hysteria" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/1 Decided to try this for the first time because I actually remembered about Advent calendars. 😅 Using Deno/Typescript and "trying to be a good dev", but we'll see how involved I want to be!

Spending a month on Bluesky has created a whole new model of a fight we need to be having right now. Not liberal vs. conservative or whatever, but respect vs manipulation. I am tired of being manipulated everywhere I go. That’s why I like it here, I feel like I’m in charge for once.

Remember y’all, you’re in control of what you see here! While you can subscribe to your own feeds, you can also tweak Discover using the three dots and choosing the “Show more/less like this” options!

Really excited to share that I worked on the website part of this latest feature to www.xbox.com/play, youtu.be/79Rza5taYAM It was a lot of work to get it to a good spot, and we're not done, but happy to get out a feature folks have been asking for for years. Proud to be part of an amazing team. :)

HAPPY 19, NOVEMBER to all who celebrate youtu.be/WVrNoALz4Nk?...

Changed my profile pic to a game that gave me such a rush when I beat it. Still one of the coolest vibes and music for a game. Not really playing Destiny as much these days, so I felt like the eye of Osiris didn't work anymore.

This is an Xbox.

Yo, it’s Tetris Forever time.

It’s really exciting seeing BlueSky take off! But I’m running into the age old issue of what persona I want to include on here. On top of how much I want to share… Sometimes it’s easier to say nothing and lurk, but feels less fun.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #20,921! Hmm, nice, I’ll take it. :)

👏 👏 👏👏👏

Now that Bsky is open, let’s get more DDR and rhythm game folks over here!!

if you see this post kitty

Found my old E3 badges. Only ever went twice, but I have fond memories from each time.

This essay broke my heart. I get it’s a rage bait title, and it’s BI. But the points are spot on. There’s some glimmer of hope to it, but it’s not enough. America just isn’t doing enough for children. Despite all the think of the children claims, it’s all distractions from what we should focus on.

About to open up a draft booster box for MTG that was a gift from a friend of mine! First time doing something like this and I'll be streaming it now. twitch.tv/dexor_

Just played a round of FixyText on Jackbox 10, and yo, the soundtrack for that game is 🔥🔥 Honestly gives me a bit of Earthbound battle music vibes.

Show me a pic that has your energy. Not a selfie

I'm running a 🏴‍☠️DDR-related side project that is in need of some new players. I feel awkward about messaging folks un-prompted on Discord to ask about it, but at the same time, also have a few people in mind just from observing the 🏴‍☠️ network player list. Some of you are on Bsky. Can I reach out? 😅 🔵🟣

I was on MBMBAM talking about DDR! www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0E0... fast forward to 55:54 for a good time!

Wow, the rubber on this ancient beatmania watch just hardened and crumbled. I don’t remember when I got it, must be 20 years by now though.

The loss of someone close to you can really echo many years later when you witness strong depictions of loss in media. 😢 Miss ya bro, even after 10 years. ❤️‍🩹

Baby Gorillas out here asking the real questions.

Another cool dance game video, this time featuring Kyle Ward and @stepmaniax.com Neat insight on Kyle’s rhythm game career for such a short video. youtu.be/RYvbU9YtVrM?...

Bummed out I can’t play Outer Wilds for the first time again. 😢
