The1980sgamer isn’t on Bluesky so I feel I must share this with the world

Wrestling with whether to post this or not, but I’ve been trying to articulate why some of the Xbox conversations this week have been bothering me Especially for anyone who’s never been told “you’re highly valued” one day and “you’re gone” the next, maybe this is worth sharing

I, too, remember when NFTs were going to “allow you to transfer your digital purchases from one app to another.” I also remember how that turned out.

Saw a clip from an old Larry King segment Kermit and Miss Piggy did with Larry King, I need to lie down. LK: What kind of child would you have? MP: A loved one, Lawrence. LK: What would it look like? LK: Would it have, say, frog eyes and a pig nose? MP: What would it matter, as long as it's loved?

Pixel Arcadia, a new showcase dedicated to retro games, has been announced. The show will include "re-releases and remasters", "new titles in retro genres, "games made for retro platforms" and "new officially licensed hardware". www.videogameschronicle.com/news/pixel-a...

Say what you will about some of the recent video game movie and tv adaptations we’ve gotten lately, but it is objective fact that they increase interest in the things they’re based on. The Devil May Cry Netflix show got a loooooootta people interested in the games and I think that’s really cool.

I hate seeing studio closures, especially after a positive summer showcase season. But as much as I’ve loved some of these games, I think we also need to be realistic about the situation. Potentially ✨controversial✨ thoughts sharing thread 🧵

Am slowly chipping away at some of the ninja trials in Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge (to unlock all the costumes for an achievement). It's a real grind, so I threw on some tunes to take the edge off. Boy... this game feels VERY different when you swap out the music.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Gaiden III (J) [b1][o1].nes

did you guys know they still allowed good news

i created this meme like 4 years ago on twitter and it went super viral and i think i got like 20 death threats. that's how you know i was cooking with this one

Also they should revoke licenses when a sequel comes out so players have to pay again. Shareholders will be so happy

Last day to grab Gravity Circuit for free on Steam store.steampowered.com/app/858710/G...

It's always okay to talk about things that are bothering you and you aren't annoying at all for needing too. Everyone has a breaking point, it isn't healthy letting things build up and eat away at you. I'm Proud of you, you're stronger than you think! 🫂🩷🩷

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

Thank you, Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne

happy friday, ADHD havers

Japan in general has been really good about a lot of the things mentioned in this article (namely retaining staff and keeping teams together and not having to waste time reshuffling and retraining people). I’d love if the North American gaming industry could take some notes from this.

As somebody with dyslexia who has a hard time parsing large blocks of text (and goes out of his way to add paragraph breaks when he probably doesn’t need to just for readability)… This is very stupid. “Accessibility” does not mean appealing to people who don’t engage with your work to begin with.

Just beat Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge on Master Ninja difficulty. That was fun. The first couple chapters are a little rough (because you're so low on money for upgrades), but it's more than doable with careful play and extensive use of the scythe. I bet this one is really fun on new game plus.

Which skin will Teddie get in revival? #persona3 #persona4revival

Before and After that band you discovered signed their big record deal.

Life's good

Hollow Knight Silksong should've had limited lives. That would make it more fun. I will not elaborate.

There are multiple steps to a game’s production, and not all departments are fully needed at all steps. If the options are 1) put the unnecessary departments on a remake while the next major game is in pre-production 2) lay them all off I’d rather they do the option that keeps people employed.

Weak take. Remakes keep artists and developers employed, while keeping a steady cadence of game releases going when brand new games take longer than ever to make. If you don’t want to buy/play a remake, then don’t. You might not need it, but if it’s providing a livelihood for someone, they do.

Man… third-person Halo is so cursed…

This meme is the closest I've ever come to caring about Xenoblade. Maybe they'll actually put it on the 32X, I'd definitely play it then!

I still have slots open for the month if you are interested by a commission like that!

This is how I feel about 99% of video game remakes. Unless the original game is totally inaccessible (and for a classic like OOT, it's not) just go wild with it and make it fresh and interesting, don't try and "replace" the original. That gets people interested in the old one (to see what changed).

i hope ocarina of time 2026 is just unrecognizable and over-ambitious and takes big swings that upset some people because if you’re spending resources and dev time only for link to leave that tree house and enter a one-to-one layout of n64 kokiri forest in UE5 im gonna be really bummed out

Been playing through Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge again lately (I'm currently going through Master Ninja mode so I can unlock Ultimate Ninja). I don't get why people say these game are violent, this seems perfectly suitable for a small child.

Boy, today seems like a great day to take a break from social media Happy for my Fire Emblem and Xenoblade homies! Y'all are chill!

My reaction to the new persona announcements IM SO HYPED !!! #persona4 #persona6

Hmm… I hope this is true, but my problem was less “my character is too powerful” and more “the enemies just stand there doing nothing as I beat them to death,” but we’ll see.

As you can see, Xbox held their presentation on 6/7, while Nintendo is holding theirs on 6/9. This is due to their core company missives; Nintendo holds fast to traditional (and successful!) gamer values, whereas Xbox is a brand that constantly tries to remain relevant by latching onto trends
