The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

I just tried to "up dog" my seven year old nephew. "hey, do you have up dog?" Him: "Yeah!" And runs off to his room. He comes back with a toy: the dog from "Up". "it's the Up Dog" Damn he got me

In Mario Kart Wii, crashing the game and activating the crash handler will eventually start playing back the contents of the Wii's RAM as sound. Since the data was never intended to be interpreted like this, it ends up sounding like experimental harsh noise music.

An obscure functionality of Donkey Kong Country Returns is that if Donkey Kong spends 3 full attack cycles of a boss not damaging it, Professor Chops will pop up telling him what to do, e.g. "BOP NOW!" In the Mole Miner Max battle, the tip is particularly condescending, being simply "TRY HARDER".

In Super Mario 64 DS, giant characters normally cannot crawl. However, reading a sign pounded halfway into the ground forces the character into a crawling pose. When giant, this results in the character's giant posterior completely blocking the entire screen.

everytime someone says "my bad" I always get the urge to respond "Yeah. It is your bad." but I'm always scared people arent gonna get that I'm referencing this

hello 👋 i have developed a new tool called blüuümpíi. blüuümpíi will convert every file on your hard drive to a .wav file without asking you, maximize your system volume, and play them on every bluetooth speaker you have ever connected to. if you offer feedback on blüuümpíi i will take legal action

Son, when I was your age, apples were as big as watermelons, they were green on the outside, and when you cut ‘em open, they were red and juicy inside and tasted like watermelon

I had a vision

In Super Mario Odyssey, many Goombas can be stacked. The limit for a legitimate Goomba stack is 30, as they will stop spawning afterwards. Manually spawning more Goombas reveals that the limit for an illegitimate Goomba stack is 200. At 201 Goombas, the game crashes.

negative steam reviews of a 'who wants to be a millionaire?' game that are cracking me up

The *last* lost episode. We did it, folks.

It is important I get 8,294,400 pixels (4K) at 120 frames a second. Otherwise it just doesn’t feel real. It is ok if half of those pixels are just kinda guesses based on zettabytes of YouTube and pornhub my graphics card watched

NVIDIA presents DLSS 5

The formatting of this Beckett quote does still represent resilience and determination, just of a very different sort.

Can’t wait for all the Youtube videos sooner or later claiming this shit as a “graphical improvement” and saying “no one wants to play those ugly old games the way they used to look”

Jesus this is insightful banger after banger.

I hate that all modern game design discourse is couched in "they should buff/nerf this thing" or "here's my ideal rework for thing I don't like". I wish more time and effort was put into analyzing, deconstructing, and optimizing what exists instead of hypothesizing about how it could be different

can this be a solution

Mega Crit lied when they said the Time Eater wouldn't be returning in Slay the Spire 2. The whole damn GAME is now "The Time Eater".

Always gotta take a moment to appreciate what might be the best sound effect in manga history.

I have a new piece up at @rockpapershotgun.bsky.social — it’s about when I got hacked in Dark Souls 2, used hacker tools to unhack myself, and then talked to my hacker years later

so uh, that slay the spire 2 huh

one of the simple pleasures in life is saying 'wow it looks like silent hill out there' when it's really foggy

While it is very cool that Dorohedoro is getting another season of anime, you ABSOLUTELY should read the manga. Hayashida has such a unique art and shading style that it's effectively impossible to animate. The anime does a decent job, but it feels like transposing it into a whole different style.

Every lengthy write-up on "lessons learned" after someone lets an AI process delete their database or all their emails reads like this to me

our team is TOTALLY blown away by the amount of people who have been playing & sharing their love for the game we've been working on for the past half decade. we're excited to continue to make StS2 the best that it can be!! 💪 also obligatory joke: we'll getcha one day Silksong

STEAM LET ME IN

Long, firm, tubular body, DEEP blue eyes, really wonderful expression. he is so calm, confident, really in charge here. Big, bouncy ears, perfectly set, a slender, whippy tail, and of course, those smooth, vibrant ribbons. Best in show.

OK, here's my "the (English) Pokemon Pokémon game for the Nintendo Switch system" cursory analysis. First of all, I dumped the game to immediately discover the most sad romfs ever:

one of the better-kept secrets in life is that you can just make chicken tikka masala. like, you don't have to go to a restaurant or buy a microwave meal.

Love the glimpse into the beautiful mind that notated this used copy of Moby Dick I got

According to internal files and interviews, Luigi has been part of Super Mario 64 for 85% of its development time. New insights from development data allow us to narrow down when exactly he was abandoned, being the two weeks between February 6, 1996 and February 20, 1996.

I always love when websites get sassy about your password complexity. Bitch shut up you're just gonna lose it in a data breach in three months anyway

It’s finally over

happy twin peaks day 🌲🥧☕️

being at the age where everyone you know is having children

The video game industry decided to discontinue their product, the video game, in exchange for trying to make Fortnites. They have in recent years found out this doesn't work, so they have pivoted from making Fortnites to making ????????????????? nothing I guess

Hey at least Bloodborne is safe from getting a Bluepoint remake
