i am a small bird who flies into windows repeatedly because i cannot see the glass

if the developer of a video game releases a modpack for it, is it still just a mod or is it free DLC? if the mod is fully original my mind leans toward the latter, but if it's full of unlicensed usage of other people's IP i'd say it's the former... i couldn't possibly know the truth though

Trans rights are human rights. And to my trans friends and supporters: I'm sorry about the world. I sure wish we didn't all have to reap something we tried desperately to prevent others from sowing.

been thinking about this thing i said and... honestly it's not entirely true. super mario kart and double dash have great soundtracks for sure! it's just, i dunno... i only find myself actively wanting to listen to a handful of mario kart songs rather than whole OSTs (outside of the two i mentioned)

experimented with the knuckles' chaotix drums a while ago, this was the result #chiptune #sonicthehedgehog

I get why they were always compared. But they really taste nothing alike to me these days. Mario 64 builds around its mechanics, which are unchanging. The player gets better at using them as they play. Banjo builds around its worlds, and gives you new abilities to use as you go.

yo... just gonna throw this out there... if any of you need chiptune music for a project you're working on (fangame, rom hack or otherwise), i'm interested in providing music. i don't mind if it's for free if it's those first two things. don't be afraid to DM me

does anyone else feel like they work better when someone else sets your expectations and goals for you? i feel like a stupid drone saying that but managing my expectations and setting healthy achievable goals are two things i struggle with a lot so like. regiment, structure and curriculum work on me

The video game industry decided to discontinue their product, the video game, in exchange for trying to make Fortnites. They have in recent years found out this doesn't work, so they have pivoted from making Fortnites to making ????????????????? nothing I guess

The source is lost to time, but this is one of the funniest photos ever taken

Well well well, if it ain't Kris and their pals! Came here early to try and seal away my amazing digital fountain, eh?

Did you know that there was an arcade platform based on the GameCube? In this deep dive, we introduce our console step-sibling and show off all of its games! There's definitely nothing else. dolphin-emu.org/blog/2026/02...

The e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-evil Eggman was successful in turning this maniacal scientist into a sciacal manientist.

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

I think I found a cheat code (it's low focal length)

Screenshotting this and alt texting all of it since it will most likely get deleted because Hammam is Palestinian. It deserves to be seen and not erased.

this is lowkey how it feels like playing tomodachi life

"Why can't we have a calm discussion about AI?" Cuz the data centers are being built carelessly and at speed, polluting poor neighborhoods, cuz it's drinking my fucking aquifer, and cuz all my art and writing have been plagisrized while the worst assholes crow about my impending obsolescense...

I think I underestimated how often we'd be needing this image

the games industry is collapsing/has already collapsed and investors are never coming back and that all sucks but i do generally have hope that a more stable, genuinely independent scene will emerge in its absence. that is until i see a single comment on any video by the gaming audience jesus christ

I will continue to say free Palestine and fuck Israel and the IDF

the cycle of “devs working for years to make a game > game launches (and it doesn’t matter how successful it is) > two week waiting period > most of the team laid off” is not only entirely unsustainable but genuinely horrifying

www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUbP... one of my favorite pieces of music in a video game, both for how it sounds and where it plays in the game. sam is reeling from his noir rampage and now he's gotta go back to comedic puzzle solving... if i were him i'd let the saxophones drown out the raging storm too
