Someone on @lajournee.bsky.social used the Slush Puppy graphic to explain what a "mise en abîme" is and I think that's beautiful.

yes hi I just have one quick question about our cruise route? It's probably nothing but

The banana patent, for those who missed it. US application 20210031110:

Sony already applied for a patent on a literal banana controller, and now it's looking for one on a motion-sensing orb. I love this kind of stuff.

I've noted which of these are in those Milestone collections in the alt text of the image, so I hope that helps too ^^

Before going all in on these, note that the Taito compilations are also currently discounted. www.dekudeals.com/search?q=tai...

The second wave of the latest Taito Arcade Archives sale is up (or will be up soon depending on your region), offering 30% until October 8th. I've done my usual write-up on all of the games, noting if you can find them in other ways. Have a look! postgamecontent.com/post/7955402...

Not sure how I survived having my mind blown 4-5 times in succession in about as many paragraphs.

The protect-my-sanity mute list is getting ridiculous.

Some day Nintendo fans will understand that Nintendo treats its universes as piles of beloved music and iconography to be remixed and recontextualized into fun new games and not an interconnected linear narrative linked by causality But it is not this day

@yuzokoshiro.bsky.social's still got it

Hip Tanaka's still got it

imo they should have tried other solutions before they got here, like removing the component output port, or making a Canada-exclusive Mini version that doesn't connect to the Internet.

Playing South of Midnight, getting distracted by all the great fauna in the game.

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

Perhaps today is a good day to write about every game in the JALECOlle Famicom Vers. line of classic reissues, I told myself. Read if you like Jaleco games. Which should be just about everyone who follows me, right? postgamecontent.com/post/7951134...

There was a big Nintendo Direct this week. We moved our recording schedule to accommodate it. It was really REALLY weird. There was a book, and Koizumi talked to a non-interactive flower, and... It's Episode 943: I'm Seeing Double Here, Four Virtual Boys! nintendoworldreport.com/rfn/72471/ep...

So starved for a feeling of justice that I’m watching a company face accountability for putting profits ahead of the planet in Jurassic World fuckin’ Dominion and going “hell yeah”. Almost makes up for staring the movie with a fake Now This “news” piece.

Do NOT stock your vending machine with spooky, off brand snacks. I know they're cheaper, I know, but they attract monsters especially this time of year. Please vote for this to become a Woot shirt to help spread awareness: shirt.woot.com/derby/entry/... ; )

posting this Classic over here in honor of the big man himself. adios bitch

Updating the RFN feed's iTunes keywords.

they scanned real figurines for DQVIIR's models and environments :o

I’ve been rewatching the Coen Bros filmography this month and while drawing a Barton Fink illustration, it struck me how much their films feel like Far Side cartoons: funny, strange, clever, yet frequently inscrutable. Anyway here’s a thread!

Konami would rather re-release their old Virtual Boy games (via Hudson Soft) than bring Castlevania: Symphony of the Night to a Nintendo system*. *Unless we get an announcement in the next 5 months.

Not too late to make the Fatal Frame 2 remake compatible with the cardboard Virtual Boy shell imo #NintendoDirect

Nintendo: "Hey guys, don't you think you might have made Metroid Prime 4's design a little too yonic? Could you… make it more balanced somehow?" Retro Studios: "Say no more."

My fingers hurt like hell but this was so incredibly worth it. Shinobi is so goddamn good. Getting completely slept on.

I think I’ve seen part of this movie on Télé-Québec as an impressionable teen. The witch with the long tongue probably traumatized me. Time to exorcize some old demons (or Chinese ghosts, I guess).

lately when i’m feeling hopeless i just think of the Katamari cat wearing scuba gear. if she can survive in an inhospitable environment then so can i

I think we're sending mixed messages here ART

THIS WEEK Emails - Are we a Xenoblade podcast, where are the mascots, games for non-gamers, the toils of aging. New Business: Shinobi: Art of Vengeance, Chibi-Robo, and Star-Crossed World DLC It's Episode 942: We Can't Make the Ghost Ship Poster Any Clearer nintendoworldreport.com/rfn/72346/ep...

announcing the new guy they sued

I have a supremely bad attitude today and I acknowledge that. But the literal last thing that I need from Apple is new fucking hardware. I need the software to work. I need speech to text to work. I need my phone to stop trying to text the last photo I took every time I set the phone down. (WHY.)

What a Girl Wants

Imagine you boot up an edutainment title called Mario Teaches Typing. Take some time to imagine what its music would be like, and then play the below.

Watching La cité des enfants perdus and wishing I knew more about art to understand why it looks so much like a 90s video game with pre-rendered backgrounds. Pretty sure I’ve walked around here in Grim Fandango. Is this just what port cities look like? Did the Square and Capcom devs watch this?

Went and saw some cinema tonight. It was a blast.

🚨🚨Potential job opportunity: looking for someone with experience in social media around gaming and entertainment. If this is you, DM for more details. If this isn't you, but you know someone who it is, send them my way.

Get yourself some music. 🎧

i reviewed NBA 2K26 for @endlessmode.bsky.social because someone had to while you're all playing silksong: www.endlessmode.com/article/comm...

Many people forget - the launch Xbox controller was bigger than a human head.

It’s been a long, hard week. So please enjoy this video of the AI in Grand Theft Auto IV making terrible choices.

I know a guy

This should create a 1/1 Green Jelly creature

may i recommend this portion of Unsolved Mysteries from 1995 about some miraculous visions in KY where a couple of kids keep saying over and over that it looks like blood in the sky (positive, religious) youtu.be/5y2xOQHbT6A?...
