[eyes welling up with proud tears] Little buddy, you're going to be so strong that people are gonna make every protagonist of every subsequent comic and show of your genre shadowbox you for decades to come. And you're gonna win every single time.

dudes rock

I've reached critical amiibo mass. Anyone have suggestions for new displays? For context, my retro/CRT area's in dire need of shelving upgrades, so I'll need to mind space.

Yeeeeah, between this and the Mii-sharing restrictions, I'm not feeling it. The core of Tomodachi Life's virality (and while I'm at it, Miitopia) lied in its community-sharing -- with just the touch of a button, *anyone* from Shaq to Peggy Hill can get up to absurdist hijinks.

Rest in Peace, Kozo Shioya. Majin Buu proved even a monster could be a cool friend.

No human is illegal. Instead of buying a new video game today, please consider donating to a charitable organization instead.

My 7yo daughter’s best friends’ family fled the country a few weeks ago. Today she came home with a drawing of her and another friend blowing whistles at ICE agents. “We’re blowing the whistles and so ICE will go away and our friends can come back,” she said. I started sobbing uncontrollably.

As per usual, Trump and his Republican goons will rewrite history to justify the indefensible. Expect this to be their Hail Mary outta this mess. Let's hope it fails.

yes thank you this is exactly what I wanted #DQ7

Top Ride Checklist down! 😎 Two down, three to go.

This is Minneapolis. Collective trauma, and neighbors helping neighbors. This is our 24/7 every day lives right now, not just a 10 second news clip.

I do have to wonder how much of what we're seeing here is chickens coming home to roost for the games industry, as a decade ago we saw aggressive blacklisting and outlets being denied review copies, while at the same time various influencers being given early copies of games for uncritical hype...

Yes, let's create another bullying apparatus designed to harass what's already a highly-maligned profession. I am very smart.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

would you rather hang with a fun, colorful group or walk alone out onto the frozen tundra where you’ll meet a certain death

Unreleased games? And one of them's an F-Zero spinoff? Uh, kinda blowing my mind here. All five Virtual Boy fans be feastin'.

Here is the child’s drawing.

Huh, and here I was thinking Pikmin 2 would be off-limits considering it's already available as a standalone purchase. Glad to be proven wrong! Can't wait to cover that when the time comes.

The jammin' sax of High Hoops. The anticipative whispers of Gold Digger. The shrill "EIYAAAAAAHHHH!!!" of Nail Call. The tender fragility of Paper Plane. All these five-second non-sequiturs echo in my head all these years later and you better believe I'm putting these on repeat just because.

My biggest one yet! Enjoy. By the way, I'm not exaggerating when I say this game's re-release is *timely*. Some may say this is a perspective of privilege, but the themes of racial division hit harder today than they did in 2005. Do give it a go. Also, Ike rocks.

Timeline cleanser. #AnimalCrossing

Despite everything, I don't know what to say. I know I should say something about the Nazi execution yesterday, but the words aren't coming. I have plenty of timeline-cleansers in Switch 2 clips, but I feel I wouldn't be reading the room.

Love my JRPG community- always coming through! #fuckice

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

We still don't have a good glimpse of the plot. Considering the criticisms towards the first movie, that's...concerning. I'm wondering if they're throwing too much into this movie. That said, the SMW piano was perfection. Score should be lovely if nothing else.

Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

The nurses are pissed

We have some nice new translations to share this week! First up, a lengthy Chibi-Robo interview from 2005 with Skip Ltd director Kenichi Nishi and others. It contains a lot of nitty-gritty details about the design and lore. I'd call it a must-read for fans! shmuplations.com/chibirobo/

Damn the soulless Nazis of Trumpism straight to Hell.

They recruited the comments section and gave them weapons and sovereign immunity.

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies. I have translated some of the highlights

I never knew about this. What. ...I wanna see it.

Dude I'm Starting to Think This Waluigi Shit Isn't Real

This is insane. Insane that it's happening. Insane that these good folks need to do it in the first place. And insane that no one in power is helping them one iota.

Rough draft of my FE: Path of Radiance comes in at...1800+ words. Hoo, boy. I've been trying to set some word limits on these GC retrospectives, but there's so much I want to say about this one that I got a little carried away. Expect a big 'un!

I have immense respect for Tanabe's legacy, but it became clear over the last decade his priorities simply didn't meet player expectations. Everything from Paper Mario's limp reinventions to MP4's...everything were the products of an out-of touch vision and it shows. Regardless, I wish him well.

Lot of politicians can learn from how clear and unwavering Mamdani is here, but the big takeaway here is that the guy said "I am in support of abolishing ICE" and the audience of a THE VIEW taping immediately applauded. Don't need a clearer sign that it's a mainstream opinion you can campaign on.

A reminder that GenAI exists solely so that CEOs don't have to pay creative and skilled people for labor. And it's up to us as consumers to generate as much backlash against this shit as humanly possible.
