I find it so weird when indie game developers site completely disparate sources of inspiration for their games. "Our game is like Earthbound, Nier, Duke Nukem 3D, and Tokimeki Memorial all wrapped up in a Final Fantasy Tactics package."

It is a crime just how little people know about Dani Bunten and her games.

"A legendary golden age flight sim. The perfect balance between realism and arcade with retro glidecore graphics." Who is the person in that marketing department who decided to dress up 30 year-old graphics with the term, "glidecore"?

Living in the limelight, the universal dream for those who wish to seem. Those who wish to be must put aside the alienation; get on with the fascination, the real relation, the underlying theme.

Don't copy that floppy. You wouldn't steal a car. Well, unless that car was being used to train an LLM. Then, I guess it's fine. But only if it's training our LLM, not if it's training your personal LLM, you thief.

Goodbye, Super Sentai.

Sailor Moon is so great.

I wonder if folks today can appreciate how, in the 90s, we bought games like Resident Evil: Director's Cut and Tobal No. 1 solely for their included demos of Resident Evil 2 and Final Fantasy VII, respectively.

Go!Go!7188 were one of the greats.

On to our Blood Bowl semi-finals! 2026 is the year of the humans!

My human team is in the quarter-finals!

I argue there's a genre of board game called "Capitalism, Rah Rah". They are typically variants of Monopoly with a thematic focus on economics and/or finance...and they are always design by folks who have no idea how markets really work. The purpose of the games are to be a political soap box.

Limber up. Time is up. Fuck shit up. Don't forget about it. My coffin's all I see, lately. Robot stop!

Just three episodes of Super Sentai left.

The DiC Sailor Moon soundtrack is great.

Capitalism Lab is one of my favorite games ever. Nothing even remotely compares as a business simulator.

Sailor Moon Crystal is just plain better than the original cartoon. More plot-centric, no filler episodes, beautiful art style.

The real value of the Steam Deck and Steam Machine is the ability to buy a single game and both play and continue it across your PC, TV, and on-the-go. Microsoft has Play Anywhere but never put the effort in to championing it and didn't have a mobile solution until recently.

The First Take is such a blatant fraud. I can't understand how the channel has so many subscribers.

I always roll my eyes when people talk about investors as some sort of mustache-twirling cabal. Do you want to turn $20 in to $30? You're an investor. Investors aren't awful because they are part of a class of particularly awful people. Investors are awful because they are you and *you* are awful.

Generative AI is what happens when you turn Cannon Films in to an algorithm.

Rad pick-up at my friendly local toy store this weekend.

Perfect. No notes.

Two of the Thirteen Primes to go.

When setting up your PS5, you have to make sure the most crucial games get installed first.

You can always count me in for a wargame with tea in it.

What in the unholy fuck...32%!? Who would sign up for this?

People who prefer the Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0 ending over the End of Evangelion ending are the type of people who refuse to play anything other than cooperative tabletop games and feel an obligation to tell you why competitive games are "objectively" bad.

Merry Christmas to me!

www.youtube.com/shorts/mg06U... I love Blood Bowl so much.

How fun is it that AI, which generates nothing, is being used by AI companies to round-trip transactions, which is also the generation of nothing?

Wolves of the Calla is 700+ pages of absolute awful.

You can play the entire Blood Omen saga on PS5.

The only responsibility you have on a commercial flight is to shut the fuck up.

I find it mildly upsetting that programming closures are not the same as mathematical closures.

Working Designs did so much for JRPGs that today's fan doesn't give them credit for. They brought tons of games West and promoted lesser-known titles in the genre. Had they not changed the games, they would have caught shit for not properly localizing. We know how fans view their changes today.

It baffles my mind how Microsoft insists on making Windows 11 widgets as useless as possible.

Wild Arms: the spaciest of Westerns.

Software companies: "No, we're not going to spend any time engineering our stuff well. Just go, go, go. Feature, feature, feature. Never stop. Always add new features." Also software companies: "Why does maintenance cost so much?"

Incredibly life-like.

I may have a type.

Two games of Blood Bowl tonight!

Blood Bowl!

The Nightdive team is saddened by the loss of friend and industry legend, Rebecca Heineman. Her career spanned decades and impacted millions, with over 60 game credits to her name, including Baldur's Gate, Bard's Tale 3, and Killing Time: Resurrected. www.gofundme.com/f/help-rebec...

RIP "Burger" Becky Heineman. My heart goes out to her legion of fans, friends, and family. A kind soul. Can we take 2600 Space Invaders out of the High Score rotation to freeze her World Record as a way to commemorate her?

Now that's an album name.

I think people in to 3D printing don't realize that the rest of us want 3D printers to be an appliance, not a hobby. When we say we want a printer, y'all sound like someone who responds to "I want a new dishwasher" with details about the mechanics of dishwashing and water jet pressures.

Hmm.
