perk idea to renew interest in the top tier of game pass: you’re allowed to continue using windows 10

this Schlittler kid is no joke

It's my classic catchphrase, "I don't mind taking it easy until then"

I watched a documentary about Miles Davis and the best part was all of the interviewees trying to imitate his voice. You’re not allowed to quote Miles Davis without a rasp

Feel like there are too many games to play? Just sit tight for a little while and the industry will solve that problem for you 🫠

Had a great time talking to @parkermolloy.com about my work on the AI bubble www.readtpa.com/p/the-man-ca...

this dude got a foul ball in the thigh and also lost his entire basket of fries in the process. rip

The Super Mario 64 source code lists names for Mario's footstep sounds. The list starts off normal but becomes poetic with names like "Footsteps in the Fallen Leaves" and "More Than Anyone Else in the World". It turns out the names are actually taken from a 1994 dating simulator.

Dear Esther should have a big head mode cheat that moves the camera up by a few centimeters

Love seeing the Trails in the Sky remake tearing up the sales charts 🥲 As of this writing, Steam has it #9 globally and at least in the top ten on a bunch of the country-specific lists

you: what are we having for dinner game designer: great question. i wrote some pillars to help us align on a good outcome here. you, reading: wait, this pillar is just "food must be edible," that seems pretty vague game designer: ah, that's where the secondary pillars about Edibility come into play

I hate iOS 26 so much that I want to use it less, which I guess counts as Sherlocking those apps that try to limit your time-wasting on social media

I assume this video is about the music but I like to think he's just pumped to finally learn about conjunctions

i love that this is a face someone can make when prompting a crowd to shout "i hope you die"

I heard they’re gonna show a new Fire Emblem at the next Direct and it’s gonna have en passant

On some Sundays the person upstairs starts vacuuming at 10 am on the dot. Which is very considerate! But I always imagine them raring to go at like 9:53, finger over the power switch, just staring at the clock and waiting for their moment

damn, i missed the window for my pyst-style sendup of hollow knight. i had the musical numbers and everything

Oh good the subheads are working. Glad they have their rogue site dek builder up and running

i wonder if anyone at obsidian was like "our new database feature is called bases but really it should be 'bases"

man this current series of Classics of Game has some real mindbending shit

I enjoyed this book! www.npr.org/2025/08/21/n...

i look forward to responding to every "please update your jira estimates" request from production with "what is jira? is it a software?" from now on

The Trails in the Sky remake is my Silksong. I'm set for the rest of the year

tfw you’ve added a second button

today is my 17-year anniversary at harmonix. lmao

I think this bit from the recent Bloomberg piece is the first acknowledgement I've seen from Falcom that they might decide to just keep making more Trails stuff after it ends. (Which, of course they will, but still)

I love when I steel myself to go to a video game wiki and find that the community has coalesced around some pleasant non-Fandom site

enjoy your cute animal book, kid

This is great news for me, a weirdo who will spend any number of hours on a Trails game and has played several of them twice, but I‘m unsure if it will attract new players in the way I presume they‘re hoping for

Hotels are expensive, but when you factor in that each one includes a new DLC level for Shower Fixtures: The Ultimate Puzzle it’s not so bad

Feels like about time to play the first few hours of Baldur's Gate 3 again. Not since Skyrim has a game been so eminently restartable

This is incredible

when i was in kindergarten my music teacher used to play the fast part of this chopin waltz when it was time to get back to our chairs and the game was that we all had to all be seated before she finished

I wish I had the confidence of a Fire Emblem boss who sits on his ass watching the heroes kill everyone else on the map and still has some shit to talk when they finally get in range

Sometimes, when I have the address bar highlighted in my browser and my fingers are hovering above the keys, I still want to enter a URL I haven't visited in 10+ years because I rarely type website names manually anymore. Like how the only phone numbers I remember are friends' houses from the 90s

one of the underrated parts of Achewood was the completely inane conversation starters while someone walks into a scene achewood.com/2005/10/11/t...

ah yeah the familiar whiplash of seeing a legacy media org cover something you're an actual expert in and realizing "oh if this is how badly they're fucking up this, how badly are they fucking up every other topic?"

I absolutely love this series, but I feel like this might've been a good opportunity to take a bit of localization license with that title. It just doesn't sound very compelling in English…I swear it's good, though!

Replace every video game's introductory cutscene with "Welcome to the Fantasy Zone. Get ready!"

At some point during this game, I will have collected more bananas than the total number that I’ve eaten in real life

i need to know who said "yeah lets put golf for nes on nintendo music" with a straight face

watching a fly buzzing around and whispering “the spider’s gonna get you tonight” at it

I peed silently next to comic book legend Will Eisner. When we were both done he looked at me, said "This is the only place in the god damned world where everybody knows what they're doing," and left without washing his hands.

I like the new Donkey Kong so far, but it’s got a bit of a kids’ animated film vibe that I’m wary of
