In terms of internet issues it ain't a big one. But it breaks my heart when a Buffy reference or meme and it's using the garbage HD versions for the screenshots. "Wasn't this scene set at night?" I wonder as I stare at a brightly lit Cordelia.

Was that an AI voice on that Capcom stream that kept saying twenty twenty sex?

Absolutely insane seeing the amount of games getting shut down so quickly over the last couple of years. The complete lack of planning or foresight for anything but massive success is infuriating, especially when the execs responsible get to keep their jobs at the end.

Today's "I didn't know this existed" is the Super Famicom Bodyguard (スーパーファミコン ボディーガード), a cozy sleeping bag for your SNES with little holes for the controllers. Probably overheats like a motherfucker in summer. Well worth the $200-800 they're asking buyee.jp/mercari/item... buyee.jp/mercari/item...

Anyone know of any *real* artists that make custom Pokémon cards? Had a look on Etsy but perhaps unsurprisingly it's nothing but AI slop.

Just noticed another person on the team doing this. Beginning to wonder if I've been put in some sort of Reform team.

Shoutout to Romeo is a Deadman for this too

Ah yes Reddit app, you've made it slightly more inconvenient to access a basic feature. But at least *checks notes* some posts now have a random colour palette when I open them?

I'm glad these all look cool cause with my bf being the bigger Pokémon fan he'll get to choose first and I won't be too fussed about the leftovers. I feel like I'm leaning toward Gecqua though, that's a fun name to say too.

Some quick Pokémon etymology (Pokétymology?) here: Pombon = Pomeranian + Bonfire Gecqua = Gecko + Aqua Browt = He's just got Big Fucking Brows. Just look at him. He looks like a Browt. You couldn't name him anything else. That's Browt.

A 45 minute video on The Queen's Nose? The YouTube algo got me good.

Actually a wee bit giddy that new Scrubs is really good. Feels like it never left, exactly what I needed right now. A good few laughs and gave me the warm fuzzies.

lol

AEW was featured on the premiere episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, following the recent Anti-ICE chants and the reaction to them.

Red Dwarf started 38 years ago today on BBC Two with the aptly named "The End".

Have noticed a stark increase in PVP encounters in Arc Raiders since they started their "please don't shoot each other" event 🤷 Not all that fun when you've been having a chill PvE time (for the most part) til now.

Not only does he give him a warning before clocking the ice supporter in the jaw, he fucking mogs him while doing it. Absolute hero.

there u go, bless

It's wild to me there's any talk of new consoles when I literally just watched a trailer for a game out this year showing PS4 as a platform it's launching on.

A woman at my job specifically uses the white skinned thumbs up when reacting to stuff on Teams, instead of the default yellow one. I know it's not like a huge red flag or anything but I can't help but just think "hmmm" every time I see it.

Highguard was self-published—there’s no public investors or publisher needing X% explosive success to get massive ROI. Who put the studio in a situation where they’d have no runway if the game just did “okay?”

Battleborn released in 2016, got updates for around a year or so, and the servers ran until 2021.

My pal @randomlyrossy.bsky.social shared this with me and I feel the need to share it here. It's not often I'm proud to be a wrestling fan.

Had a charge come through from Nintendo and was confused. Checked it and it's for my cardboard Virtual Boy headset 😅

I only keep Nextdoor installed because you'll occasionally get weirdly unhinged posts like this. Really fun comedy app.

"The top reason cited by consumers for not wanting AI in their devices is that they simply do not need AI capabilities. Nearly two-thirds of opposed consumers indicated that their devices already perform the tasks they need. Another 59% of AI detractors cited privacy concerns..."

Just looked to the side table on my left and there are 7 game controllers on it, 8 if you count the Joycons as two. Do I have a problem?

TV show themes that have randomly popped into my head over the last few days so far: Inspector Gadget Art Attack.

In case you missed it yesterday!:

People who make games and the people who really love them want to take care of each other. And that extends to our neighbors in Minnesota. So proud of everyone. Thank you for helping us raise $263,660.

RIP Catherine O'Hara

RIP Catherine O’Hara. A true Canadian treasure.

My two favourite gaming outlets showing exactly why. Love them coming together to soundly say FUCK ICE.

my only Highguard take is that whoever put the mining multi-part QTE on the right thumbstick needs a stern talking to

Literally begging game developers to stop using a right stick click for anything but the most minimal actions. Having to press is more than once in short succession drives me mental.

I spent the weekend trying to process what's happening in my city of Minneapolis, Minnesota by creating this video. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

It's really funny seeing footage of Requiem how much it's taking from RE6. I've always maintained 6 was SO close to being an incredible action game. It was just a little too janky and overblown.
