will 15 minutes of youtube yoga after work save me

ooh persona 6, i cant wait for the main characters best friend to look right at the camera and say "straight people are one of the most oppressed minority groups"

The only rpg brave enough to have a random encounter song that is seven minutes long!

have not kept up with Kingdom Hearts since the second one but I am always thrilled to get a new Utada single

I haven't been loving Alan Wake 2 and it's basically sunk costs at this point, but I appreciate how there's a locked door marked on the map like every locked door that you eventually find a way to open, except this one just doesn't open.

What I think everyone should do is buy my very reasonably priced audiobook that I worked very hard on last year. libro.fm/audiobooks/9...

I feel like as the years pass, we're forgetting who the true meme king of BlueSky is. And he doesn't like to be forgotten.

why does she look younger and more yassified than she looks in re2make

@flameswallower.bsky.social hey 👀 did you see one of your stories is a Notable Story in this year's Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy? Nice job! www.johnjosephadams.com/projects/bes...

A screencap from the beginning of each of my Yakuza 3, 4, 5, and 6 video diaries. I love that you can see how much of my soul got siphoned out of my body with 4 & 5

- The daily video game history fact - PYST (1996) was marketed like a mainstream CD-ROM release, an unusual approach for a parody game at the time. It featured actor John Goodman in full-motion video sequences. Gameplay: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fo-...

EarthBound (SNES, 1995)

I know I sound like an old bastard, but the insane prices have sort of sucked the fun out collecting video games/consoles.

you cant cut corners on ideas! the iteration is the point!

You lost me at 'we leverage AI tools to help our teams iterate on ideas': aftermath.site/tomb-raider-ai/

Donkey Kong holds a barrel in the darkness.

You know what movie scene they should replicate in a new stuntman game? That’s right.

there are only six figures with entire wikipedia articles specifically devoted to their status as a gay icon

Grandia Sega Saturn Game Arts, 1997 I was unsure of which RPG to play next, but then @kittensoft.bsky.social's wonderful drawing of the lady with ice-cream cones in her hair hit my feed. I'd never actually seen this game in motion before, and the presentation is fantastic! 😵 #crt #retrogaming

Get in on this! I read a lot and I like a lot of books but Girlfriends by @reversibledestiny.bsky.social is one of the few in recent memory I absolutely loved. Great line up across the board though.

Sky Dragon Isle (Chrono Cross, PS1, Squaresoft, 1999)

I really enjoyed this biting little noir from @traumbooks.bsky.social. Such a lovely reminder of how much you can do in the space of a novella (let alone a cute pocket sized one!) traumbooks.com/wake-up-book...
