Macklin is too fucking good

I’m sorry but be serious www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

the word " yolo " .... i will never say such shit

Happy birthday to the Washington Metro, which opened 50 years ago today with service on 4.6 mi of Red Line between Rhode Is. Ave & Farragut N. System now serves 130 mi. The DC Metro shows that, with good planning & enough investment, the public sector can succeed & build something extraordinary.

Eat shit, lol, and long live The Onion.

yeah im bummed about sora. bummed i sora bunch of stupid fake videos

Sonic the fighters has healing properties

Cherry trees positively glowing today

you already know what's up (steam sale rec thread is what's up) as always, i focus primarily on older, more obscure, and just plain weirder games, as big name titles don't need the help. with that said, onwards!

this is unironically the best case for punitive taxation there are arguments about fairness and freedom and whatever else but at the end of the day it is self-evidently far too dangerous for society as a whole for anyone to have that much money, the end

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

every British guy between the ages of 38 and 52 has intense, borderline troubling nostalgia for some insanely unplayable looking Amiga game called like “Bonky’s Quest”

The article briefly mentions it, but personally I don't care what Lud's status was. Every post about his situation has wriggling weirdos underneath asking about it & I reject the xenophobic premise of their question. Immigrants are a positive good and Lud should be celebrated, safe, & protected

I know floating players in bracket isn't a popular idea but how about if we float Cody and Jmook all the way to semis next Genesis and make everyone else run an insane gauntlet instead

‘Xenogears’ is 'difficult' to describe and 'almost impossible' to enjoy.

legitimately one of the most beautiful games ever made like, you don't need to do anything more than this. that's the ideal visual style.

Your guide to getting around at #GX3 🗺️🫶 Here is the map of the venue space for this weekend!

fighting games are something so beautiful

I can't wait to be a useless piece of shit and play video games all day after Genesis. I think the schedule is gonna be something like Terranigma -> Advance Wars: Dual Strike -> Shadow of the Colossus -> LA Noire

Clapping my flippers together and honking like a harbor seal when a Super Bowl ad for a condiment or gambling app featuring two celebrities unexpectedly reveals a third celebrity as its punchline. Bouncing a ball around on my snout. My wife has to throw me a herring to get me to calm down.

ten years ago today no one clapped

I had a dream last night that I was teaching high school and was explaining to kids how a floppy disk worked (the actually-floppy 5 1/4 kind), and the game on the disk was something like "Luigi: the Mario Toad Golf"

One thing I found deeply moving about resistance in the Twin Cities was the universalism of loving your neighbor, the philosophy driving the opposition to the ICE/BP invasion. I couldn't help but notice the contrast with the blood and soil-ism of Miller and Vance. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The Resonant Arc playthrough/analysis of Xenogears I think has to be the best piece of game analysis media I've ever seen. Mike and Casen do a fantastic job of researching interviews, production materials, and the many many ways religion and psychology come up in XG www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8YL...

wikipedia turns 25 today! the last unenshittified major website! backbone of online info! triumph of humanity! powered by urge of unpaid randos to correct each other! somehow mostly reliable! "good thing wikipedia works in practice, because it sure doesn't work in theory" - old wiki adage

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

Sorry, 'dumbfuck,' but 'the 90s ABC sitcom Dinosaurs' was never saccharine kiddie fodder like 'Full House' or whatever 'you' watched. It was a dark satire cloaked in family comedy tropes, taking on the environment, immigration, race, the Gulf War, the Clarence Thomas hearings, and science denialism.

Sick pathetic country. If nothing happens they will do it again. Feels disgusting that all I can really do is post about it

Soraya Saga just announced her retirement from video game writing. After being Xenogears & Xenosaga she was still around in the background and took more of a backseat role to her husband, giving ideas and such.

trying to convince my friend that there really was a nintendo DS launch title called “Penn & Teller’s Shithead Basketball”

A prominent commentator in the fighting game community, Sajam, has announced he will not participate in future EVO events following its acquisition by the Saudi government.

I've seen a lot of misspellings of my name but idk if i'm coming back from this one

'Vegobears' (organic vegan 'fruity gummy bears' from 'Santa Monica')? No thank you. I prefer 'Xenogears' (ponderous 1998 'classic PlayStation RPG' from 'Square Soft').

'Jesus' was born out of a 'virgin mother.' What's more 'virgin' than 'a computer'? If 'Jesus' does return, don't you think his 'mother' could be 'a computer'? And don't you think he and his 'computer mother' would 'have sex'? This is basically what happened in 'Xenogears,' so why not in 'real life'?
