if pokemon’s so great how come there’s not a pokemon 2

5-Year-Old Kojima Tweeting: 10:57: Just Ate "Twix Snickerdoodle". Wow! I enjoyed the subversion of the 'Cookie Element', and the lingering sweet flavor. This dessert makes one question what the nature of COOKIE and CANDY truly is. It is a rare "treat" for fans of the genre.👍 18:32: Ate "Broccoli".

Hell yeah. That transform offset feature is a game changer

holy hell, Skenes got the hook after 0.2 IP

God is this opening night thing terrible. I'm a baseball fan and my team is playing and they already have me not wanting to watch

An obscure functionality of Donkey Kong Country Returns is that if Donkey Kong spends 3 full attack cycles of a boss not damaging it, Professor Chops will pop up telling him what to do, e.g. "BOP NOW!" In the Mole Miner Max battle, the tip is particularly condescending, being simply "TRY HARDER".

ugh

rereading Laid-Back Camp

Finally listening to the new Mitski and this shit would be all over the Miss Havisham scenes in Baz Luhrmann's Great Expectations

Someday I need to learn the skill of getting things done even though I have an appointment in the middle of the day

I like the spirit of that handheld mode feature, but in truth everything I've been playing on my Switch 2 recently already has a Switch 2 version anyway. I sat on XCX until it got one! Maybe I'll go back to FE3H or something one day though eh

I bet Konami regrets buying that big behind-the-plate ad in Japanese now with Japan not making it to the WBC semis

rough to lose a game on a called strike down here 😬

I thought the unspoken rule was that the baseball stadium PA system only plays the intro to Crazy Train when the bases are loaded, but the WBC is really challenging that. I just saw a dude get an infield single with the bases empty and, sure enough, ALL ABOOOOOOARD

Warning: profanity A photo in the booklet for the official 1993 Super Mario Compact Disco album contains a profane shirt in a photo that likely slipped through due to be being printed so small that it requires extreme zooming in to view the swear.

WBAL in Baltimore helping viewers understand the difference between watches and warnings

I have a new piece up at @rockpapershotgun.bsky.social — it’s about when I got hacked in Dark Souls 2, used hacker tools to unhack myself, and then talked to my hacker years later

This bit in the From Russia With Love game made me laugh out loud. You've got a fairly grounded, low key fight based on the one in the movie, then the most video game looking fucker of all time slides into frame.

7-0? You know, I’m actually a bit of an Italian myself

おはようございます！ 🎂✨✨✨✨🎂 おかげさまで ファルコム45周年 🎊✨✨✨✨🎊

not to disseminate descriptions of the events without express written consent but there has been some great baseball on today

I still think about this piece all the time www.hollygramazio.net/blog/2015/2/...

Revel in Nintendo nostalgia as I attempt to track down the first instance of Nintendo crossing over one franchise with another.

If you were going to make a Pyst-like parody of the Persona games, I think a good replacement for the the gun-to-the-head Evoker move would be eating one of those desiccant packs of silica gel

I saw some bad UI and for the first time I thought "ugh, this looks like something Apple would design"

don't be surprised if some of your favorite baseball stars wind up playing major league baseball this season. i guarantee you that this very minute, big-league teams are beating feet all across the country – and beyond – as they look to fill their rosters with the very best ballplayers they can get

Today we have an amazing interview from 1989 with Shigeru Miyamoto and Shigesato Itoi. Conducted shortly after the release of Mother, it's full of deep musings about realism, creative exhaustion, the moral panic over kids & gaming, and prescient visions of the future. shmuplations.com/itoimiyamoto/

If Xenoblade Chronicles X were a Mitch Hedberg quote, it would be "rice is great if you're really hungry and want to eat two thousand of something"

Classic nor'easter on the way for later Sunday evening into Monday. Heavily impacted Monday and into early Tuesday. Power outages part of this as well as coastal flooding. Spring will arrive and always does.

Nintendo should just raise those Pokemon prices a little bit right now while no one is paying attention

Baseball tomorrow 😌

documenting some OOP architectural problems in my code in a text file called "class struggle"

What a weird feeling to be caught up on Trails games. Literally have never been in this position before. I can just open any wiki, any interview. I am invincible

something I noticed for the first time rereading The Hobbit along with Shelved by Genre: this dude LOVES to hit his head and remember nothing more

Still feels weird to give someone directions in Boston even though I guess I’ve lived more of my life around here now than anywhere else

I went to every XOXO (!) and this talk was one of the defining moments imo

I once had a dream where games media wasn't allowed to say Kingdom Hearts anymore so they had to use weird euphemisms, the way ads say "the big game" for the Super Bowl. "The latest crossover Disney hit" and so on

Was not expecting the sidescroller stuff in Kyoto Xanadu but I’m into it!

I don't really want to go to GDC but I wouldn't mind going to Super Duper

ah…

good auto-subtitling error: "trails in this guy"

can’t believe nintendo is making a balatro dating sim

some personal news: for the first time in my life, I spelled "ophthalmology" right on the first try

Ooh, uh, hmm
