I still maintain that the "If the game is too hard, go look for a different path or a side quest to play around with and come back later" argument is bullshit. That's not an accessibility feature or a way to ease in newer players, that only benefits the people who already know what they're doing.

Happy Thanksgiving to my American followers. Cook those birds

I haven't been talking about it on here, but I've been spending the last few weeks playing through all the Metroid Prime games on Hard mode while getting 100% items. I've never done that with any of these games before, so that's a nice thing to cross off the checklist. Bring on Metroid Prime 4!

Seriously, unless you were there and old enough to understand what was going on in the pop culture landscape at the time, it’s impossible to appreciate how dead Disney seemed to be for most of the 80s. NES Ducktales + The Little Metmaid hitting at the same time in ‘89 seemed like a miraculous fluke

Welcome to my new series "the Sonic Superstars bosses are mostly fine, actually" * USE YOUR EMERALD POWERS * USE YOUR CHARACTER ABILITIES * Get a mod for the early boss music if you can - I think half the reason they feel so tedious is because that song is on a 5-second loop

Finally, Battletoads the way it was meant to be played: with save states (The other games are all absolute top-flight stuff, legit "happy holidays" fare)

Kamen Rider Kuuga: The Complete Series [Blu-ray] is $18.49 on Amazon buff.ly/EvnwNKO #ad

PSA for all trans girls, and I do mean all

action/platformer speedruns: yea we have to do 100 frame perfect tricks to clip through all these sections and it's all skill based and precise practice and speed old jrpg speedruns: WE HAVE TO TORTURE THE GAME BY RIPPING ITS SOUL OUT AND REPLACING IT WITH DR MARIO TO FORCE IT TO DO OUR BIDDING

Fam, I know you're not supposed to trust ESRB leaks... but I've got a good feeling about this one. I think this might be a real game that actually comes out.

Wanted to be a teacher since I was a kid and then went to college for it. That fell apart towards the end, so I tried working part-time as a sub. Eventually that lead me to working as a tech person in a school district "tech manager" role, so I can help make many teachers' lives better!

remember kids -

I have seen so many

Kamen Rider Black Ending

PC update: Apparently what I was *supposed* to do was open the thing up (there's a glass pane on the side held on with some magnets) to remove the packing material inside the machine. Where were the instructions for this? In a little baggie. Inside the computer.

GIMME GIMME GIMME!! Keep an eye on this one. It hasn’t been getting a ton of press, but I have a feeling Tides of Annihilation is going to sneak up on people and be a surprise hit when it comes out the way Clair Obscur did

If you see this, QTP with a series you haven't played that you think you'd love 😎 #gamesky #gaming #promosky

But listen. If you're more than a few years past high school and you're *still* regularly making yourself miserable by hate-watching/playing/listening/whatever things that are supposed to entertain you instead of doing literally anything better with your time, *please* grow the heck up.

This was a fantastic watch, and sums up a lot of how I feel, too. Like seriously I don't know how people get THAT emotionally worked up over video games, and video games are MY LIFE. Like if it's making you that miserable WHAT ARE YOU DOING??? www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXzL...

Kamen Rider Build is a good show. Love that show a lot.

there are four types of guys online, no exceptions

Well I spent $2500 on a new top-of-the-line PC and it shows up and it makes really scary sounds when I go to boot it up. Grand. Love PC gaming. Never had any problems with it in my life.

after months of research i've compiled the definitive timeline of the magical girl genre. be sure to show all your friends who like magical girls

Expedition 33 will win GOTY, the devs will make a speech about how they love and were inspired by JRPGs and how people should give those games a chance and the next day the press will be like "Expedition 33 wins GOTY and proves the west has STOMPED JAPAN IN THEIR OWN GENRE"

In just 1 week you have: - Paid for my wedding - Paid to fix my bathroom that flooded Oct 2024 - Paid to replace my broken Dryer - Paid for Nugget's future allergy medication That's the impact you're having on my life. From the bottom of my heart - thank you! 🤎💚

whenever the sun sets at 4:45 pm i open a window, lean out and yell "WRONG" as loud as i can. that usually buys me another hour or two of sunlight

Hop on Clair Obscur

the first time i played pikmin i didn’t realise they could die

The witcher 3 is now officially a retro game send skeet

This is an INCREDIBLE research project and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the history of manga, especially in the US www.youtube.com/watch?v=W51Q...

In Super Mario Galaxy, the stars on the letters of the logo spell "u r mr gay", while for the movie it says "he mr gay". This is because you are watching Mario, not playing him.

Valve announced three new pieces of video game hardware today. They have shown they DO know how to count to three.
