Dear YouTubers, Please edit your video essays with headphones to be sure you're properly filtering out mouth noises. *shudder*

Mass layoffs and cancelled projects across the entire games industry Nintendo: "Let's give everybody a raise!" I swear they're one of the only companies in the games industry that actually knows how to retain talent. share.google/srsaU0IU3FWU...

I think I'll have two orders of fried shrimp from a fancy bougie fast-casual restaurant tonight! @culvers.com @katmabu.bsky.social

Anybody know where I can get a physical repro of Real Shitty Batman?

Wow, it's already been ten years since the most perfect album ever was released. And it still feels cutting-edge. youtu.be/25YqRRvl9gk?...

Nintendo, fire this man!

Meet Bowser, the newest member of the Syncoplay family!. He may look like an adorable puppy, but he's also a very good boy!

Make sure you're leveled up enough and fully equipped before wishing him a Happy Father's Day!

PHRASING!

Americans: "Today is a federal holiday celebrating the end of the enslavement and legalized persecution of an entire race of people." Google: "We like sportsball money!"

“If viewers watch a playthrough of a game all the way to the end and are satisfied with just that, then it was only that good of a game. Our job is to make games that leave people wanting to clear them with their own hands, even if they’ve watched someone else do it...” share.google/wZdPNNBZYNs9...

They missed a perfect opportunity to call him Brass Knuckles

Where can I get Lotus Juice's pants?!?

Advance copies for BeyondTheNES.com sent to the printer! I'll share photos when I get my first copy, and the rest will go out to your favorite retro gaming personalities to help spread the word. Keep an eye out here for when I announce the pre-order date! 329 pages 531 games 12 guides 4 interviews

Finally - you can run the entirety of Super Mario Bros 2 in the same amount of time as like three attempts at this nonsense. 😄

Second, Super Mario Bros 2 isn't nearly as hard as it's claimed to be. Sure there's some bullshit, but it's WAY easier than Super Mario Sunshine and you guys are more than ok pretending THAT game was redeemable. I see your criticism of the springboard level and raise with those friggin watermelons.

Super Mario Bros 2 is not called "The Lost Levels". The SNES port of Super Mario Bros 2 is. When talking about the FDS game, it's just Super Mario Bros 2. Why does this matter? Because "The Lost Levels" is a bad port, with borked controls that make an already difficult game even harder.

Home is where the stabbing happens

When all you ever do is hire teams for a single project and then lay them off, every game is your teams first project.

Guys. Guys. Guys. Guys. Guys. Guys. GUYS! This shirt!!!

You wouldn't suplex this kick-ass shirt! www.etsy.com/listing/4513...

Is it AI? Is it not? Doesn't matter, either way it's awful. Slop is slop no matter how it's made.

As of 12:40am ET, Beyond the NES is now ready to print advance reader copies. Sending to the printer this week to get some hardback samples made. Of course, I will share pictures when I receive them! www.BeyondTheNES.com

Clearly, my very, very patient editor has never played party games against a dead person. @editorscott.bsky.social

very happy to see that the oot remake sticks to its localized title in the german version

Remake Remake Remake Remaster Remake Remaster Remake *sigh*

What do you want to see in today's Nintendo Direct? Me: Something that isn't a remake.

If you choose "Run" in the Game Boy Camera's RPG-inspired interface multiple times in a row, it jump scares you with these horrifying pictures of the dev team.

Those bastards at SEGA. Getting Cuphead as an exclusive title in 2026? How dare they?! Get Yacht Club on the phone now, damn it, we're getting them to put out a new Famicom game.

I've never seen anybody try to argue that Links Awakening is "overrated" or "not really all that great". Even OoT doesn't get the same universal love that this Game Boy classic gets!

"Oh yes, Hope Floats. They all float down here, and when you're down here with me, you'll float too."

Before Pokemon, Game Freak created Quinty - released in the West as Mendel Palace. In Japan, Quinty was a solid hit, with an ongoing comic being published in Japanese gaming magazines throughout the early '90s

Super Mario Sunshine is a worse game than Super Mario Bros. 2 JP / "The Lost Levels". How's that for a hot take? Come at me, millennials!

I haven't played the Mark III / Master System game, but Heisei Tensai Bakabon on Famicom is a pretty good technical platformer!

Sir, this is a Fogo de Chão.

I must be dreaming...

Do want

Massive thanks to @editorscott.bsky.social for his tireless work editing this massive book. He went above and beyond, helping not only with typos and punctuation but improving sentence structure, correcting a few inaccuracies and even suggesting some fun jokes! Plus, just an overall great guy 11/10

I spent most my day writing for my next zine and then some time on my next book. If you want to follow others doing the same, follow (and share!). go.bsky.app/Py2qArP

Craziest thing is, when I was a kid I didn't really think of Square One Television as an "educational show". It was just good TV. (Also, Kate Monday / Beverly Leech may be the first adult celebrity I ever had a crush on) youtu.be/hTaNR3CR-GE?...

“Cry like anime fan on prom night” - Ten Years Ago Today At this point, goodwill with Mighty No 9’s kickstarter supporters had long since dried up, but to the general public who were maybe unaware of the development drama, this is the moment the game became a meme www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yngb...

Question for gaming book fans: do you like dust jackets? I find it weird to print a hardcover and then put something easily damaged over it. Similarly, if the art is ONLY printed on the jacket then the cover is boring unless you use the fragile shell. But they're so common... do you like them?
