Today! Don’t miss it!

the inexplicable pivot to video for "how to install this program" Has done nothing for humanity but add 100 cumulative hours to everyone's life that are spent doing nothing but listening to some awkward nerd saying, "Hey guys, I'm so and so tech and this is, uh, my desktop"

Very excited y'all!

Thank you for having me on to gush and rant about Sega's undisputed best handheld

$3,500 to 50% funded. Who's got us? 💙🍋

Matt & Gen discuss paid DLC. Does it encourage you to keep playing the game any more than just starting a new file? What does the current game marketplace feel like when these paid extensions are advertised or released at the same time as the base title? funandgames.libsyn.com/episode-209-...

The man is not human! Seriously; look up who's providing the voice for a non-human role and odds are good it's Frank Welker!

American Dream truly is a creature of chaos

Old gangster movies made me think it’d be fun to demand money, but writing out invoices proves me wrong every time.

idea: a Venture Bros game where you play as Brock Samson, and its basically the same overall setup as Yakuza. Big serious "world is in danger" main plotline full of intrigue and drama, but tons of subquests where you're forced into absurdly silly scenarios

Happy to see the OG "First Belmont" return!

Events like Gen Con owe their community an explanation of how they intend to ensure the safety of convention-goers who may be targeted due to national origin, racial profiling, or “gender policing” in a state like Indianapolis, while justifying their continued presence in such an unwelcoming state.

I say this as a professional who came up from fan translation and has friends at Sega who will likely never get to work on this officially: when you fan translate ANYTHING that was previously untranslated, you have a deep, heavy responsibility in setting people's first and typically only impression.

One day, there will be a new Pokémon Pinball announced. One day.

So, predicting a chow chow form somewhere in the evolutionary line. And I know it won't happen, but I want this thing to toast dachsbun if they're in the same party

We are joined by @jacob.bsky.social for a retrospective on the Wii U. The Gamepad provided unique & fun experiences. Many series got their start here, or have a unique entry that lives exclusively on it. Lowest selling console, perhaps, but not least loved. funandgames.libsyn.com/episode-207-...

Fire Pomeranian looks amazing, and that Gecko has some sweet underdog Greninja energy about it But if you give me a bird starter, I will pick the bird starter.

anyway
