“I know what I have to do. But I don’t know if I have the strength to do it.” - me, contemplating replacing and redoing all the shelving units for my entire library of physical video games.

@joshleslie.bsky.social I just beat Dunkadillo. Beat skeet coming soon but I felt like you were the first person who I needed to tell 👍

yes, great work Lays. I absolutely want to feel as sad as possible when eating potato chips.

Dan Olson killed Graham Stark #RIP #F

going on twitter now is like the dark world part of link to the past, where the shape of things is roughly the same only now instead of the friendly villagers there's some demihuman freak snarling at you going "welcome to the village of assholes!! we hate you!!" also the trees shoot bombs now

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social My niece got to experience her first ever CRT gaming experience today. She loved Super Mario Bros, she thought Bubble Bobble was just OK, but she helped me #JustBeatIt on her first ever TMNT game, Turtles in Time. Fellas, we created a beat-em-up fan! Cowabunga out of 5.

Happy September 21st to those who celebrate

I'm excited to relive these moments from our charity gaming marathon! Even the parts that I'm in!

Bandcamp Friday starts in approximately 12 hours!

CrossCode might be my favorite indie game, but it has a rough, confusing intro before it sings. The combat, puzzles, and story are great, but the accessible difficulty options are a real star, allowing you adjust both combat damage and puzzle timing by 10% increments. 90% was just right for me!

Man. I was eating at this restaurant and a wrestler got bodyslammed right through it

here’s just a list of numbers

Thanks everyone who supported us as we raised $9,870 for @feedingamerica.org! We'll see you again next year!

$9,690.00 is our final total for Feeding America. Thank you so much for your generosity and for being there for us year after year.

Meal-Morial Madness is heading into the final 12 hours! I’m playing Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance in half an hour, at 11:30 a.m. EDT. Stop by and hang out as we push to reach our milestones raising money for Feeding America twitch.tv/4score7pongs

I’m running Slay the Princess in 15 minutes, and I may be a little biased, but I think this one is gonna be a ton of fun! twitch.tv/4score7pongs

We’re continuing our charity gaming marathon fundraising for Feeding America, and I’m about to go live at Meal-Morial Madness playing Tape to Tape, a roguelite hockey game! SPORTS!! twitch.tv/4score7pongs

We've already raised $1,787 for @feedingamerica.org let's keep it going. Plenty of content coming up this afternoon!

With food prices going up, workers losing their jobs, and reductions in government funding, food assistance programs need our help more than ever. On May 24-25, I'm participating in Meal-Morial Madness, a gaming marathon raising money for @feedingamerica.org. youtu.be/CmAWz7Tsr3g?...

This weekend, I'm participating in @4score7pongs.com's Meal-Morial Madness, an annual video game marathon raising money for Feeding America. I'll be cleaning games, playing Fire Emblem, and more! You can watch live starting at 10 am EDT on Saturday at 4score7pongs.com/mmm or twitch.tv/4score7pongs.

Meal-Morial Madness, our gaming-for-charity marathon, is happening 3 weeks from today! I'm going live on Twitch now to practice one of my games that I'll be playing during the show. Let's Slay the Princess! twitch.tv/SirChadlyOC

We're raising money for Feeding America by playing nonstop video games during Memorial Day weekend! There's still time if you're interested in volunteering to participate during the event. More details coming soon! 4score7pongs.com/help-out-wit...

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustbeatIt Wildfrost has gotta be the hardest roguelike deck builder I’ve ever played. Unfortunately, its difficulty makes it inaccessible to all but the true sickos, but it has fun turn-based mechanics like moving fighters around two battle lanes. Easy mode please! 4/5

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social Shogun Showdown is a puzzle-like roguelike deck builder with combat that kinda feels like dancing? Or chess? …No, boxing! You’re constantly hopping in and out of enemy range, jabbing, then floating away like a butterfly. #JustBeatIt, but there’s more to explore here. 4/5

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Defender’s Quest 2 really grew on me. Sure, it’s not as good as the first, but it’s still a great character-building tower defense game. It’s a miracle this game came out after a 12-year development hell, and it deserves respect for what it accomplishes. 4/5

Wildfrost is the hardest roguelike deck builder I’ve ever encountered, holy moly.

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Westerado: Double Barreled is a great introduction to sandbox RPGs like Fallout or Skyrim where you have the freedom to do or kill whatever you want but without the 60-hr time commitment. The genre isn’t for me, but it’s a neat little spaghetti western! 7/10

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Defender’s Quest, a top-10 all time game, is a 2012 indie Tower Defense RPG that miraculously just released a sequel against all odds. I could spend a whole @indiequestpod.com episode explaining all the aspects that make it so good, but it’s a triumph. 💎 5/5

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt on stream, DuckTales 2 improves upon the first game's excellent gameplay by fixing the pogo mechanics. The difficulty is more balanced with more interesting bosses and easier stages, though the castle in Scotland may be the hardest stage in the series. 8.5/10

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt DuckTales is the first of many licensed action platforming bangers that Capcom would become known for. The innovative uses of Scrooge McDuck’s cane keeps the action fresh and interesting. Multiple stages, secrets, and endings keep the replay value high. 4/5

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Mega Man 2 remains one of the all time best action platformers, especially in 1989. There’s so many memorable moments like dodging Quick Man stage’s lasers, one-shotting Metal Man with his own blade, and realizing that only Bubble Lead can beat Dr. Wily. 9/10

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Super Mario Land 🎶“Way back in the day All you had were three-frame LCD games. Our journeys had a lack Of all but travel Scrabble packs! Yes, NES looked best, But to put this one next game in context: It was a milestone year, Handheld gaming started here!”🎶

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social Childhood redempsh cleared, FINALLY, with a #JustBeatIt on my first encounter with Jank: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES, 1989). Yesbunga. This game is so cool except for all the parts that aren’t. I love it despite the sack full of flaws. 3/5, had the life of my time.

I'm playing more Tape to Tape, the roguelite hockey game, live on Twitch! Then probably DuckTales 2 later? twitch.tv/SirChadlyOC

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social I abused rewind on the Switch, but I managed to #JustBeatIt Ninja Gaiden (NES, 1989). I’m not a hardcore gamer, so I appreciate using modern tools to fully experience the game. Thanks to unlimited continues, it’s not TOO BAD except for knockback and the final boss. 7/10

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Tape to Tape asks, what if NHL 94 was a roguelite? This indie game nails the solid hockey gameplay and adds roguelite elements like earning new artifacts and talents to improve your run, unlocking new players and power ups, and buying permanent upgrades. 9/10

What if NHL 94 was a Roguelite? I'm playing Tape to Tape live on Twitch! twitch.tv/SirChadlyOC
