Happy 250th birthday to video game icon Sonic the Hedgehog, here’s to 250 more

Baudrillard spinning in his grave so fast he torpedoes out of the hillside and remains airborne, lasers shooting out of his eyes with such force earth is cleanly cut in two

yeah, okay, next month I'll go talk to the circus continuing my accidental quest of having the most confusing CV possible

want to watch the new Jackass film, but am still emetophobic so it's essentially impossible until it is is digital and timestamped dumb phobia (exposure therapy doesn't work, have tried, it sucked, have had this since i was 5)

possibly the last of EOS, for sure the last level www.twitch.tv/ehbehceh

apples, carmamel and caffeine aren't the usual food groups I'd guess, but seems to work today

The two genres of video game are shooting an alien with a gun, and a pretty lady elf saying “m’lord” to you There’s a theoretical third genre where the player has to collect an orb, but nobody has been able to make it yet

gonna at some point buy a BMX to put the ghost of my stolen bike I had as a kid to rest

wasn't really predicting the amount of tape I'd have to buy over the course of my pro wrestking, Judo, and wc rugby ngl legit there should be tape sponsorships for just random athletes

lol according to the university system I don't exist anymore, even though emails work, tuition works etc I'll go fix it Monday, but it'd be cool if systems didn't decide randomly that I don't exist. Happened a fair few times throughout my life

'SIMILAR TO NINTENDO'

Got a sneaking suspicion that the wrestler Cactus Jack and the wrestler Mankind are related, there mannerisms and features match a lot.

Graphics errors always give the best pictures 👾

Videogames are over? Videogames are just getting started, friends. How many have you played and finished? You think you've found all of them that appeal to you? Have you played this? I bet you haven't. You haven't even *started* to unearth the mysteries of videogame. www.zombs-lair.com/drowned-god

A game can be objectively bad and you can still love it, and that's valid! Sometimes the most fun games are the ones that aren't even "good."

Infrastructure is performance art.

need to start distributing indie games on USB drives with badly hand written labels left on varying types of public transport

I think we should be allowed to print our own game discs from digital games

considering forgetting how to read if I get my PhD done - that's a thing that's totally possible to do, right?

I need more new PC games released on physical discs

formal complaint at having to experience 6 AM after a night without sleep three times in one week "sleep is important for rest and recovery!" oh I'm Very Aware but that doesn't magically make me not an insomniac

that same video game i've been playing for age, the EOS www.twitch.tv/ehbehceh

Nobody is really talking about this, but the games industry was treated like a gold rush during the pandemic Player numbers were up and oil-backed economies started buying into games as part of a future beyond fossil fuels. Then the demand cooled

now I'm through pro wrestling intake my true mission of Learn A Cool Flip can begin in earnest

not posting this for any particular reason but remember the comics inside the manuals for MGS games back in the day

I’m not saying Digital media is evil. We are moving toward a future where ownership of the things we purchase is unclear. We should have clarity. This also has far reaching implications beyond preference. Particularly, on access and equity, AND game preservation and long term availability.

The future of Video Games is Indie cause those’ll be the only ones getting made at this point!

i guess my take on the digital media thing is that physical media is awesome, however a large part of the attraction w/digital media is accessibility like any indie dev can put out an .exe file and to me, that immaterial nature is part of the shareware/freeware idea that underpins stuff

play a normal game of golf in Normal Golf Game, where you can hit anything from anywhere to make Luke Muscat happy

It took 10 months, but I am now finally an intermediate pro wrestling trainee with GPWA 🎉 Legitimately one of the hardest trainings I have had to do, and it goes up from here so let's go

Reminder that this age verification bullshit is not new and has been raging in many countries outside the US for almost a year now

every single assessment I've been up until like 5 AM the night before chronic insomnia is so dumb

not idea if this is the same for every one involved in any high impact sports, but I am pretty glad my across platform algo shows me a lot of CTE stuff whomever got the tags ordered to make that happen is doing good work, way more awareness is needed for CTE and concussion caution

Not the point and not going to sway anyone, but as someone who has a degree in (among other things) biological anthropology, I just want to point out that the argument that there is only a gender binary is complete and utter bunk, the sort of thing that gets demolished in a 101 course on this stuff.

Just found out about the Wizardry remake for the Famicon. This might be the best thing I've ever seen. Can you imagine a hippo in a dungeon. #CRPG #DungeonCrawler #Famicon

weirdly like that players like Marathon Steve are still A Thing kotaku.com/marathon-fan...

most incredible jackass stunt ever filmed btw

yeah no i really like when i screw up my contact lenses so much that it looks like I've been crying for hours, it's not a weird thing to have to deal with at all

the way the pro wrestling intake I'm on is structured each assessment is deliberately positioned to enduce stress and create pressure, so as to simulate the pressure of an actual match means the day before you can't really think about much else

survived another 4hr session of pro wrestling intake training, the next session coming up is my (potentially final) assessment if i pass, into the intermediate/mainline class and if not, another 8 weeks my friend got injured this session, pro wrestling is hard

We gotta bring back developers saying thank you for playing

i have a few goals for this week (asides from the big one of Do Writing) and one of them is fix my stupid godot thing so that i can put it on itch needs like basically 1 more thing to be functional and anything else is aesthetics (which will for sure get tooled around with a bit)

I know the backrooms kinda took over this concept but escaping out of bounds in a video game is still somewhat intriguing to me, specially when it's more than just a black void of nothing

reminder of gender modding options of I believe Baldur's Gate 2. could be Torment
