I am shocked to learn about the amount of vitriol that people on BlueSky - BLUESKY of all things - towards Dana Terrace for clarifying that a character from her new show is cis, not trans. We need to be better than this, folks.

Legit, this game was pretty fun and had some cool ideas.

Wait, is it legal for them to be playing Nintendo games? Being Sony properties and all...

Okay, I have to be that guy for a minute here, but if you haven't finished Act 3 of Silksong then you haven't *finished* Silksong. The credits are a deception. The story is not over. KEEP AT IT.

Something to ponder Frankenstein's Creature, a recurring foe in the Castlevania games, either uses brute strength (mainly to cause tremors that drop debris on you) or electricity to fight. Since he was brought to life with electricity, is he using his own life source against you?

Checked out that Knights of Guinevere pilot. Yeah, I see where you're going with this. Also a dash of Midgar as well... Interested to see where this goes.

In light of Silksong's release: OH HEY - did you know that there was another game that was a sequel to a beloved platformer that took seven years to develop with no crunch or drama and also released in September? That's right: FREEDOM PLANET 2 is gonna celebrate its third anniversary this year!

Blades of Steel NES Konami, 1988

A post I've seen on a forum tries to claim that Silksong is pulling a Surf Dracula because it takes a while for her to do a lot of the cool shit she could do in her boss fights in the previous game. What is this person smoking?

And that's Silksong in the can. True ending, least I believe it is. Final boss was giving me some shit but I got through it with grit and perseverance. What a game.

I think collision damage in games needs to stop being a thing. Maybe for your basic platformer, but for more action-oriented games it feels cheap to take damage off an enemy that's barely doing much of anything.

Yo, can we just remake the Zenithian trilogy next time? I really wanna play Dragon Quest IV again, and maybe V. Hell, get to experience VI while I'm at it.

Nintendo Direct thoughts: - PRIME 4 RELEASE DATE, FINALLY! - ...I fancy the idea of Virtual Boy games getting a rerelease, but is it really that necessary to require a VB shell to put your Switch into to play? As an optional novelty, sure, but maybe I'd like to have my eyesight after playing.

Unless I'm missing something, dark areas in this game are too dark for their own good. Visibility becomes poor and it's a little hard to see safe ground or even something to bounce off of in time. If there's a light upgrade I could find that'd be swell. #HollowKnightSilksong

Is anyone else getting Wind Waker vibes off the character design here?

Bad touch! #HollowKnightSilksong

I'm in serious need of a damage upgrade here because this boss is brutal and has too much damn health. It takes so long to get to its THIRD phase (oh yes, it has three phases... that I've seen), it'd be nice if I could reach that point sooner. #HollowKnightSilksong

On the work for hire front, our @lostandfound.media team put together an awesome trailer and branding for Super Pinball Adventure. Very fun little pinball game that takes the standard formula and adds in objectives and upgrades! Demo is out on Steam now. store.steampowered.com/app/3684910/...

Okay, we have this boss fight. Now let's throw in some enemies whose attack patterns don't synchronize with the boss in a way that you can dodge easily. #HollowKnightSilksong

Aaaand the eShop keeps crashing. Great work, guys.

TIL: There's a Maniac Mansion TV series that debuted in 1990. It focused on the exploits of the Edison family, who have shifted away from their antagonistic roles from the game.

We're just gonna run this joke into the fucking ground, aren't we? Max, you blissful dweeb...

It was one of three: * Castlevania: The first boss probably did it because of the shift in music. * Dragon Warrior: Being startled by random battles. * Double Dragon II: The first boss because he dissolved, then came right back. Thought he was unbeatable because of it.

Hell of a good deal for a fun game.

Years ago I attempted to play through La-Mulana. I got stuck a fair ways into the game and ended up looking up the solution online. Then I started doing it more and I just wasn't having fun anymore at that point. This time I aim to properly finish it.

Free pitch to anyone writing fiction: Invaders from another dimension are trying to take control of our world after having ran their own straight into the ground.

UFO 50 is #1 on the Switch eShop. That deserved so much more than just a quick 5 second clip during the Indie World.

Age verification? I was born the same year Back to the Future Part II was released.

Coming off of DQIII this (and II, for that matter) will be a downgrade gameplay-wise. Hoping there's changes to compensate for the lone hero soloing these battles.

*quizzical tilt* o_ô Who are all these people caring about Madden these days?

I have taken to replying to the AI spam emails with Little Bobby Tables. At least one went 💣

The thing that mystifies me is why they would end the Indie World on a Sizzle Reel and not a solid look at UFO 50. That’s a slam dunk shadow drop show ender. Otherwise some neat stuff in there.

FUCK YEAH, UFO 50 ON SWITCH!!!

Guess who woke up early thinking the Indie World direct was gonna be today?

Fun Zelda-like. And there's a sequel if you fancy having more.

On the one hand that makes it even worse - no disrespect to the VFX artists that were made to crunch on this project - but on the other, this was a losing situation for AI either way since people are already adverse to anything advertised as having AI involved.

Hey Americans, if this passes you'll be uploading your ID to every social media and website to access it.

The family element came in strong as Fantastic Four makes its grand return to cinema. While I have minor little nitpicks it was a solid film throughout, and hopefully this leads to a fantastic future for the fam' in the MCU.
