I have gone through 5 usb-c cables and 3 controllers I bought specifically just to use on PC in the past year and I cannot describe to you how angry I am about it I had my USB 360 controller working for years, absolutely no issues with the connection. Now I'm lucky if shit doesn't DC within an hour

I did a rush job on my quick game reviews this year, no surprises which is my favorite! www.tumblr.com/c7thetumbler... #reviews

Randomly decided to listen to cotton eyed joe and glanced at the music video and

Wild that Pokemon is still not only at the top but it's not even close; over 3x the value of the next closest franchise It's also funny that graphics for these always favor Mickey Mouse and Disney when they're not even in the top 3. mynintendonews.com/2025/12/30/p...

Man Im really bummed by how much Im not enjoying Prime 4 It's not just Myles; there's some genuinely bad (to me) design decisions that keep making me groan in frustration. Even tropes I despise in completely unrelated genres

I don't like going off on shorts; I know they're fake drivel meant to tickle my brain meat in a specific way, but when the medium itself encourages bullshit that's not even wrong, it's just tangentially wrong, it does so much worse than just obvious propaganda

What I enjoy about randomly getting recommended content creators who don't have 30 years of experience with.... living... is how they'll casually throw in racist shit as a forgone conclusion to make a bad point when the obvious point has already been made and the reason is bland, every day racism

Played prime 4 for like 4 hours and while I guess it's still first impressions: It's pretty clear this was not designed by anyone on Prime 1's team The subtle hints and map pointers are replaced with a quippy geek who I'm constantly responding to with "I didn't fucking ask"

"Ridley's got the last Metroid, and you know what that means." "Yeah. Trouble."

Nintendo heard people don't like the Switch 2 Edition text at the bottom of the Metroid Prime 4 Beyond box art so they're selling.... the exact same box art for 10 Platinum Points my.nintendo.com/rewards/7e12...

Streamer testing settings before going live challenge (impossible) - Vod 4 hours, 30 min of gameplay

"Trump witnessed infant child's killing" is the most passive voice horse shit I've ever seen Trigger warning in replies

Its crazy how in the same week we got a report about a man's crimes against humanity and also him doing the most morally unforgivable actions a man can take and that man is still here.

Fair use.

Nintendo didn't make Rayman 2 NSO have built in memory packs, so it's impossible to save. So if you, like me, saved after beating the final boss with save states, you lose all your progress, probably not for the first time due to that as well. Very good quality

It's so cool that we just as a society have allowed this guy to torture people for entertainment and not only has no one stopped him it's one of the most popular forms of entertainment in the world Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I keep having dreams about the time I visited Japan, each one harkens back to all the cool things I did when I was there But like, I've never visited Japan. I dreamed about doing it, and now I've had like 10 dreams from it & I wake up every time like "YOU HAVE NO IDEA BRAIN, WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS"

When I argue "The button that makes you a sandwich out of random ingredients from your fridge but also kills a man should not exist, let alone be used," it is a very strange response to say "Yeah but it makes a sandwich real fast, and everyone will be using this to make sandwiches"

There's so many discussions around E33 and Larian about when it is and is not okay to use LLMs, and most arguments miss the fundamentals points why they are inherently bad. 1. They are trained on databases of material that were not paid for, art and work that is not compensated

the most transparent administration in history

You know I wasn't expecting to hear someone call android users snobs and then lambast their friend for using a 5 year old iphone & not using brand exclusive features, but Arin Hanson delivered. I like watching Game Grumps, but cmon; how is buying the cheaper option over your designer brand snobby?

while i am not an academic i did see this coming and post about it on bluesky, which is why i am quoted in this article

Google did a really cool thing where they changed the default action for holding the power button on my phone from the power menu and emergency calling to it's useless fucking AI chatbot, which is awesome! When my phone is freezing up what I really need is the psychosis inducing bullshit machine.

Silver the Hedgehog and Donkey Kong are friends.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

my 100% sonic binge showing on my steam replay

I've been trying out alternative pastas in an attempt to scratch that pasta itch (and also keep something that doesn't spoil in the cabinets just in case). I thought I found a really good one in Edamame noodles because they have a WAY better texture. This morning my body voiced its concerns

Seeing comments on a post where a target employee is wearing a racist shirt while on the job, stating that calling them out isn't the way to go. Hey. Heeey. Fuck off? Always call that shit out. Report it to corporate. Continue the boycott. Fuck off with your politeness to racists.

They're gonna pay $35,000,000 to parents to drive their kids to school rather than pay bus drivers enough to want to do the job. 50 more drivers at the high end of current salary range would be like $2,000,000.

Mom’s a lib, Calvin is a lefty.

2 weeks from this post and I have 100%'d both of them and they were supposed to last me through my plane rides this year oops

O fug I just remembered I haven't updated my backloggery since January which means I have 11 months of games I need to review if I want to do the end of the year wrap up thing I do

100%'d age of imprisonment and it's definitely the weakest of the 3. They do a really cool story moment, but in terms of sheer content it has the least. There aren't even any hidden characters, and the ones they add are just kinda boring. I had fun, but they passed their peak

Kirby Air Riders can still win Game of the Year if Mike Pence has the courage to do the right thing

the world has changed

On one hand I respect Air Riders coming out completely finished and saying there will be no more new content for it. On the other hand it's a $70 game that lives off its multiplayer and has $250 worth of supported merchandise on the way, so like that might warrant a little bit more content?

The cool thing about Pokemon cards becoming a speculative market that assholes buy up only to resell for profit is how I can't get a single booster pack to give to my nephews to open during the christmas party for fun and to talk about something.

thing about graphical realism is that a lot of the games that cynically chase after it don't care enough about the visual language of film they are trying to copy to make the realism actually interesting let alone work in games. something as basic as colour palette and scene framing is a good one

Also them showing that sick ass ramp up to a cg megaman and then cutting to what look identical to megaman 11 gameplay was peak. Like it was the closest to relevant for me reveal, and it was like revealing a wiiware game

So TGA are fake and bullshit marketing, but I still have bs opinions so I want to share them First, there should be restrictions on nominations for multiple categories. Have the studio pick what they believe they're strongest in

The only thing I know about expedition 33 is my friend rsnting to me about how it uses a specific trope, so my judgement is poor in this. But she was right, snd further Banaza should've sweeped

THEY DIDNT MAKE THE MONKEY NOISES FOR THE CHORUS WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ROBBED
