bday gift for my friend who is not on bsky

Home Alone makes changes to the Die Hard formula that render it hard for me to enjoy. The McClain character should feel overawed. And in theory having Kevin be a child versus adults achieves that. But the thing is: Kevin is a god. It's not just Tom & Jerry. This is some random punks versus Anansi.

There is no way you can guess how the thread that ends in this instant classic begins.

Kirby Air Riders

chiyomaru keeps trying to reboot steins;gate and promises more content than ever before and I ask what happened to the script and he says it's based on ELITE and I said it sounds like he's just feeding the script to the anime and takahashi started crying

Demonschool is really good so far. It's doing its own thing, but it's also dripping with a weird-ass tone that *screams* early Persona. Also Faye is a delightful protagonist, and really serves to set the game apart from MegaTen's silent protagonists. She's a menace, I love her!

oh whoa the models aren't just getting better and better consistently huh

I have a love hate relationship with Silksong in that I alternate between love and hate. Why does the start of Act 3 force-set you to the default Crest? I don't have any charms equipped on that one, and I much prefer Wanderer's pogo jump to the diagonal one... And there's no Bench!

Nobody needs to know that the Machine Consciousness originated with NieR Gestalt/Replicant Legacy Character Beepy the Robot in order to understand and appreciate the story of NieR Automata. Knowing this, in fact, is a little bit lame.

Turns out this was all much ado about nothing and Google isn’t using your Gmail to train AI and if wanna turn all that stuff back on you can get your spam filters back

ぎんちゃ！！

Now that Rick is back in the spotlight thanks to Kirby Air Riders, many are taken aback by his plain name. But it’s actually a pun in Japanese! Rick = riku (陸), land Kine = kai (海), sea Coo = kuu (空), sky

I don’t know if it only makes sense without the periphery stuff, but Nier has books, stage plays, etc. I once asked Taro about this and how are English fans supposed to keep up and he looked confused and asked “Why would you need to keep up? Who needs all of that?”

Remnan's voice is deeper than I expected but his mumbles remain as cute as ever.

ATTENTION SPEEDRUN FANS‼️ I accidentally bought AGDQ tickets on the same day I'm supposed to get married & they cost me $2,000 (plane, registration, hotel, etc.) If anyone wants to go take my place for FREE it's going to be at the St. Marys church his name is John he's 5'10 super nice guy

"Oh she works for a megacorporation", "the Japanese pause description is clearly sarcastic", "she hasn't stopped mechanizing planets"... Um... she's literally nice?????

“trump is ecstatic to meet the muslim socialist immigrant mayor of new york while MAGA’s strongest soldier from georgia-14 resigns in disgust” is a fucking coalition-breaking disaster for the hard right

I really thought to myself "how bad could it be"

lot of people commenting, like, maybe you shouldn't phrase it like this in future. as if the last decade hasn't been about maximising engagement at any cost up to and including implying a video game is shagging an entire Nebraska

Fans of Xenogears need to check this out. Sound of the summer.

As a Kirby Lorehead, the story mode of Air Riders is nuts. But given Sakurai's stated position of "it's a bit of a shame the whole SSBB story just got posted to youtube", I Shall Wait A While To Yap About It.

Inori from Medalist is some kind of shrimp or perhaps bug.

ooughhh [saw a bad take]

Lesbians off the hook for 100% of space crime.

with Marjorie Taylor Greene being kind of a whack job and magic the gathering rolling every IP it can into the game, it’s taking longer and longer to decipher which one posts about “MTG” are actually referencing lately

Best Score in the Game Awards is always a bunch of games I bet you couldn't hum along to if you tried. And Xenoblade 3, which was robbed of the win. I'm still mad.

My favourite pokemon games are the Legends games, thank you for coming! Please check out my review, it's a really fun game!

wanted to draw a second character too but I didnt wanna 🐸 #PowerofNature

Honestly if the New Horizons update that's coming out reworks villager dialogue to be less repetitive, it'd be really good, even ignoring all the new daily things to do.

there continues to be half of an attempt

GAH! [← just had the really belated realization that all the Blades in Xenoblade 2 having Japanese names like nothing else on Alrest is a callback to the Monado in 1 having "strange symbols" Shulk struggles to understand that are recognizably just Kanji the Japanese audience can easily read]

There is a trend of video game narratives where women are prominent to be overly focused on motherhood and the 'natural' nurturing urges we're all supposed to harbor. It happens even when the woman in question wears power armor and blasts aliens with a giant arm cannon.

🚨 NEW: One Nation has climbed to a record 18% in the latest RedBridge poll, while the Coalition has fallen to 24% Sussan Ley is losing to "neither" as preferred prime minister, with just 10% supporting her

Doing my 4th and 5th books this year with layered files and I really don't understand why I would ever do retouch ever again

People don't seem to know that in Japan, genAI output can't be copyrighted without a "creative contribution" from a human author, which kinda explains why the common thread between ZUN and Level-5 is "using GenAI output like you'd use a stock photo for photo-bashing".

Yeah I think not only is there an ethical and moral distinction here, something like...DLSS is a great example of something that isn't the plagiarism machine. Well, technically it is, but it's the game plagiarizing it's own frames, for itself. Not the same.

About EP6 of Gnosia: Let's lay out the facts: Kukrushka and Comet claim Er. Yuriko and Shigemichi claim Dr. Yuri is GA. Racio, Comet, and Shigemichi are Gnosia. Comet found Yuri Gnosia and was frozen. Kukrushka found Yuriko Human. Racio knows Yuri is GA. 9 of 12 remain. (1/4)

Had to edit this together real quick

Hey, congratulations on beating SILENT HILL f NG+++! (after it was nerfed) I'm glad you were able to finally get to and beat it now. (it was harder before). You should feel proud! (even though I beat it before it was nerfed, when it was harder). Good job!

I don't think it should be ignored, but for a 60+ year old movie franchise where the lead periodically changes appearances and doesn't get 60 years old, I think a simple acknowledgement without explanation should suffice. "I thought you died in wherever/whatever." "That was no time to die."

I think "most physical games require a download to even work nowadays" is one of my strongest pet peeves in that it will get me to pick fights with strangers if seen in the wild lol there is considerable data about this exact thing and it is just plain false. Stop handing that one to publishers.

I mean, we all knew The Game Awards is basically two E3 presentations wearing a trenchcoat, and Geoff Keighley an empty, light, flaky Kojima Productions-branded phyllo dough shell of a man. But god damn. I am once again begging y'all to elevate the DICE and BAFTA game awards above this shit.
