So apparently, Microsoft's genius plan was: • Purchase every studio to force people to buy an Xbox • Do absolutely nothing with those studios • Panic when no one bought Xboxs • Systematically shut down every studio they bought

I honestly don't care if its gauche to say this as a game journo, but seriously PIRATE EVERYTHING. Pirate as much as you can, while you still can. These corpos consistently want to remove your access to games then cry about how theft is ruining the industry. THEY'RE RUINING THE FUCKING INDUSTRY!

"Rhythm Heaven Groove is not only incredibly fun, backed by an amazing soundtrack, but it's so unbelievably accessible practically everyone can play it." https://www.cgmagonline.com/review/game/rhythm-heaven-groove-switch/ #Nintendo #RhythmHeavenGroove

Just remember Epic laid off 1000 people because Fortnite wasn't making enough money. Enough for another promotional tie-in apparently

So let me get this straight. GTA6 is going to cost $20 more than the average game, have no physical version and lock basic features behind a $100 special edition? Are you telling me the company that made 5 BILLION dollars off microtransactions would engage in predatory practices? Nooooooooooo...

I don't want to be a dick or whatever, but the Steam Machine is a computer. It's a fucking computer, guys

Well if EVERYONE is talking about Star Fox, I guess I'll add that I reviewed it for CGMag

Alright I'm ready for Ring Racers.

I don't claim to be good at sprite-work, nor do I understand the first thing about creating pixel art, but I am kind of in love with this goofy thing I drew for Sonic Ring Racers

And that's a wrap on Mina. Instant classic, can't wait to revisit this in a year!

I know Dunkey already made this joke, but in light of the recent Microsoft emails and shuttering Compuslion Games, this screenshot from the Xbox Games Showcase is particularly hilarious (if not OBSCENELY optimistic)

I'm only now finding it very funny that the final boss of #MinaTheHollower is a cat...

Well how about that #MinaTheHollower

I believe this is what the kids call a "god pack" #PokemonTCGP Also Koraidon

As if this game couldn't get any cooler. It's BANGING soundtrack is Name Your Price.

More Mina. #MinatheHollower

Quick drawing of my new favourite mouse girl #MinatheHollower.

@victorlucas.bsky.social and The Electric Playground are vital to gaming. @cgmagazine.bsky.social is definitely here for any visibility we can give or to work together!

Oh yeah! I reviewed Yoshi and the Mysterious Book! Give it a read! I really liked it! Not a traditional platformer, high priority on discovery and creativity, each level is like its own contained little thing! #nintendo

I had a weird dream that Eminem was in a show where he played an aspiring rapper/musician, who also worked as a nurse, who also solved crimes/mysteries at the hospital and now it's the only thing I want in life

I forgot that I made this stupid thing 😅 www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZvt...

If you have the chance. Play Mixtape.

I just played through both Oracle games, so I couldn't be more READY for this!!!

HUMAN ARTISTS! Use one piece to convince people to follow you!

Mina the Hollower has officially gone GOLD! The game is complete and has begun the submissions process with our first-party partners. We’ll know the final release date soon and as soon as we can share it, you’ll know it. Thank you for sticking with us. We can’t wait for you to play!

Honestly, considering Salmon Run is one of my favourite modes in Splatoon 2 & 3 (and the Side Order stuff), I'm actually getting kind of excited for a full game built around it.

My luck has finally turned around with some of these pulls #PokemonTCGP

Honestly, I've never really loved Deep Cut...but I like these Amiibos 🤣

Got the spooky ghost #PokemonTCGP

So I did review Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream. It's pretty good. Lots of creativity options to make things your own. But it does feel like some of the games unique quirks were sacrificed so players could make their own fun.

So here's a prototype I've been working on for a couple months. You can just play it in on my Itch page Using a Unity Beat Em Up template, I tried adding some RPG elements into it. It's not very good but I hope the vibes and ideas are ok enough :) #gamedev #indiedev #lowpoly

The Mario Galaxy Movie has a reference to Sticker Star in it. 10/10

I'm not totally sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, I like that we might get more Pikmin. On the other, it's gonna wash all the weirdness out of it.

Maybe I'm stupid, but I don't know what value Disney could see in a company that just had to lay off 1000 people because their ONLY videogame/creation platform apparently doesn't make enough money to keep them employed?

Here's the full Boob Beach Saga! These were a lot of fun to draw! I'd been out of practice for a while, so these were a really fun little challenge!

It's important to remember that Epic is going to try to make YOU the consumer, seem responsible for their failed leadership and unrelenting greed. They can afford to put the Rock, every flavour of the month celeb and every IP EVER into their awful game; they can afford to pay their employees.

I dunno...I made myself laugh.

So they could flatten this to make a video, but I NEED to buy an overpriced piece of tat in order to play it? It's never about need it's about GREED.

Thanks to @dingdongvg.bsky.social and the radio, I can appreciate how funny this is 😅

Been having garbage luck with packs lately, but I managed to get all three shiny Legendary Dogs, so it's not all bad. #PokemonTCGP

Wanted to do a little drawing for Pokémon Day, but got sidetracked playing Resident Evil Requiem.

For the big Pokémon anniversary tomorrow, I grabbed a few of my favourite mons

One of my favorite things is this book of amazing concept art for ReBoot that I got signed by Michael Benyaer, Ian Pearson and Gavin Blair.

40 Years of Zelda, 30(ish) years of opinons. I ranked every game in the Zelda series, give it a read and feel free to yell at me. www.cgmagonline.com/news/ranking...

One of the coolest collectables I've got is a little statue of Afro Samurai EB Games gave away with the game when it came out back in 2008.

What a weird day to have both my ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN and Mario Tennis Fever reviews go up back to back. www.cgmagonline.com/review/game/... www.cgmagonline.com/review/game/...

Got these two cuties today #PokemonTCGP

Decent first 10-card pull today #PokemonTCGP

I took a deep look and ranked (almost) all the Metroid games from worst to best. I'm sure this won't be contentious at all!
