I dont think u can deny that jan 2026 was one of the weakest months for games in a long time

genuinely taking psychic damage from that kiwami 3 release

guys this thread is genuinely bringing me to tears groups.google.com/g/rec.games.... a group of internet forum nerds in 1996 recount nostalgic memories from the mid 80s and early 90s..

listen, it's cool, Buffalo Wild Wings said I can hang out at the corner booth and play my "video game" (Makai Toushi SaGa on the Wonderswan Color) as long as I order one of their "ragin' appetizers" from the menu every 90 minutes

I didnt know we were getting another star trek voyager game??? wtf

as a south asian zoomer my first exposure to Gangster's Paradise was genuinely the Sonic 2019 movie trailer

burnout paradise is one of the most popular niche games of all time

donkey kong 1981 unreal 5 120 fps remake

bug fables is incidentally the only notable game ever primarily developed in Panama

sci fi done well is sooo much better than high fantasy it is not even close

Destructoid is going to go out of business in the next 5 years I can feel it in my bones

this is probably the quietest gaming january in a while

now realizing I have never actually seen footage of Maxis' Spore (2008)

crazy to think the cod bros of today could've been contra lovers in the 80s

hellblade 2 is like the least culturally relevant Microsoft published game of the 2020s

technology will give way to stronger CRT emulators and then you will not see me posting online ab anything bc I will be too busy soaking in their beauty

Just remembered that the R-Type Tactics remake should be out in two months, unless it gets another mysterious delay. They ran a Kickstarter for it way back in 2022. Admittedly it looks like a pretty impressive remake (combining two games and adding a third???), but that's a LONG time.

if you're having a bad day I just want to say: peggle 2

my people are making games

I still think the physics of wii sports/resort golf are still incredible. no renderware no nothing just straight months of coding to make it feel right

when usenet forums went down, Google bought and preserved them for the indefinite future for us to view. who is supposed to do this w insta, twitter, facebook

start making your friendships contingent on whether or not the other likes Tomb Raider for the Tapwave Zodiac

(parasocially) super eyepatch wolf is a deeply beautiful man

so glad we left the waluigi craze firmly in the ssbu dlc era

April 7, 1993

it's lowkey crazy that silent hill f, hades 2, and sonic racing crossworlds came out on the same day. too much consumer overlap!

despite stumbling in execution im very glad tlou 2 was made. easily the most interesting AAA Sony sequel from this decade. like NO ONE talks about horizon 2 or Spiderman 2 or gow 2 like that

resident evil 6 is the most 2012 game ever made

la noire is the most compelling Rockstar game to me from an outsiders perspective

ohhh thats why it is called ball x pit

if she doesnt enjoy kuru kuru kururin shes not the one 👎

genuinely why do people like bravely default

wait dq7r is kind of cute guys 😭 i was expecting it to look like slop but links awakening/3ds vibes r so perf for a ps1 anime adaptation

its ok to complain lots ab cultural stagnation but dont even pretend u have seen every sick ass thing u would undoubtedly enjoy that was made in the past

(2008 style tweet) just finished breakfast!! I am starting kotor 😋 #kotor #knightsoftheoldrepublic

white people when u mention that Mole Mania for Game Boy will be present at the function

rpgmaker is godlike in that it gave ppl with access to cheap laptops fulfilling evocative experiences

is it worth pouring 70 hours of my life into baldurs gate 2 when theres sm other games to get through..

hate that I derive 5x enjoyment from playing a game or watching a movie at night

hideo kojima has extremely iffy taste in media and thats fine!

2007 games and their atmospherically less dense sequels (mario galaxy)

lmao???

after searching over 3,000 games in the backloggd database I can finally confirm one game ever was made in my NJ hometown

went to sleep and genuinely dreamed about being in the destiny 2 lobbies as it crumbled and died despite never having played it in my life

wtf gamestop???? I saw someone buying castlevania bloodlines

as much as we found it to be unnecessary re4make has really been making the rounds in my normie circles and has been amazing for capturing the new audience 2make initially bagged four years prior

the amount of guys solo programming games for Atari in the 80s that work at meta now is so amusing

literally no generation of games is devoid from performance problems they just manifest in extremely different ways across diff eras

like a dragon infinite wealth is the only game I ever bought and played fully upon release and man I was so right to do that
