insane how action game encounters are always significantly better (as in more involved, intricate, and dynamic) puzzles than the *actual* puzzles placed in them, and the only aspect that would make ppl think otherwise is merely just the aesthetic of solving one

Toph! 🪨🥬 welcome to the gunshow >:)

I’ve gotten into some shows and video games because the porn was awesome

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. That's why I write shitty reviews on company time bckl.gg/sYJd

"If you have an anime PFP your opinion doesn't count" was such an insane sentiment on the late 2010s internet because the guys saying it were rocking PFPs like this

At this point my patience for “Kingdom Hearts is so confusing” jokes is at an all time low. Oh no, you have to play the games in a RPG series to understand the story? How wild

my sister asked me "are there any games on the ps1 like pound" and i was like "what the hell is pound??????" and

funniest part of shmups is when I get greedy for score and it makes me earn an extend but because I went off-route I get confused and lose it immediately

"restored to the way the developers originally intended it" / "remastered to the style the devs envisioned but wasn't technically possible at the time" is a fantasy There is no platonic ideal. Every game is constructed out of the choices its developers made. Changing that makes it a different game

Like, a good chunk of the FGC is approaching, "but I grew up with Harry Potter and it's not like I support what JK Rowling says. I'm going to keep liking Harry Potter. I'M not hurting anyone," kinda dedication to EVO.

look, that game isn't old. no, it's not old. I know it's over 25 years old but it's not old, let me explain; the things I enjoyed as a child were paradigm shifting and revolutionary in ways that make it just like modern things, only things older than what I like can be old

“Future Starfox game can’t just be a rail shooter, it should be a game where you can explore a world and upgrade your ship and…” DAMN. Yall HATE games having genres lmao.

well I sure don't want a lunch that makes me go "I never wanna eat that ever again" I'd want ones that could be put in rotation cuz I like eating them

This is the only Harry Potter argument worth making It wouldn't matter if Harry Potter was a singular, unmatched work of genius. Giving Rowling money is actively making the world a worse place and killing trans folks. There's no book good enough or nostalgic enough for that to be worth it.

I made a papercraft just for this

A write-up on a game I still kinda suck at but love regardless bckl.gg/sIlt

"genAI placeholder" oh you're too stupid to think a video game is getting made if the graphics aren't photorealistic? you don't know how anything works and you need the bobot to tell you that gamedev is a real job? you're a fucking idiot? 🥺🥺🥺

every statement about getting caught using ai is written like "we used ai and we thought it was freaking awesome. but we also didnt mean for it to actually be in the game and you caught us. oops"

Wish we could get a temporary pause on the word “clunky” Just describe the control scheme and give example of how the limitations impacted your experience. I don’t trust yall with that word

Happy birthday Nagoriyuki!! #ggst

is Akai Katana a genderfluid shmup

If Sinners came out in the 90s there would be an SNES and Genesis game that would be made by totally different developers. The Genesis version youd play as Smoke and you’d have a gun and in the SNES version you play as Preacherboy and you fight vampires with your guitar

The game industry’s obsession with graphics is so funny because every other year there will be some breakout hit called “Stick Figure Mansion” or some shit that outsells 90% of the market and runs on a toaster

RE4 IF IT TOOK PLACE TODAY: Where's everyone going? Wordle?

"I've barely touched the genre, here's how it should evolve :" - type vids & articles always have an inverse correlation between genre/game design knowledge and how smug of a tone they use. I think it's time we leave this genre of video in the dustbin of history

Quote post with women! Here are some of my favorites Happy Women's Day!!!

If you think about it for more than a second, tank controls are actually a realistic way of simulating human movement because when was the last time you ever strafed or instantly changed directions while walking IRL? Everyone just kinda rotates and moves forward

you KNOW she was the kid that wouldn't shut up about hacking her PSP

Participating in the #my9games thingy, here's what I came up with for now (my mind changes on these a lot but RE4 is always gonna be there) For this one I restricted myself to one game per studio cuz the last time I made one of these it was a Capcom Sweep

gamers love to write "now that the dust is settling" four days after a video game has released

Reminder that Disney Animators routinely drew porn of whatever they were working on. Purity tests are for politicians

a fucked up fact about resident evil: every single "title growl" was recorded during one session in 1995. they have a thirty year old recording of Ward E. Sexton yelling "RESIDENT EVIL... NINE!" that will almost certainly not be used in the actual resident evil nine. we persist in a doomed world

You really do have to take dating sims/romances seriously. Not love them. Not know everything about them. Not even play them. But take them seriously. They're a legitimate, influential, long-running genre, and the lack of awareness and acceptance in English-speaking circles should be embarrassing.

I don’t trust “critic” types who have never shown excitement for anything I need at least some proof that you’re not just performing the critic aesthetic

Tennis games make you MAGNETIZE to the ball that you PARRY back, yet their focus remains on positioning. Much to think about, actionheads

u lowkey need a counsel of pervert art friends to enable u at all times

“Fighting games need to be saved” content is a grift
