MEGA MAN finally gets a new game - Dual Override in 2027

Something makes me sad, and Nintendo unexpectedly pops in to help me smile again. Story of my life, thankfully.

Haven't cried this hard in a long time... Thank you, so much, bro; for making everyone smile so wide. Rest in Peace.

I love how big corpo keeps doing this money-nuking, anti-human shit just to "appear impressive" to masses...only for it to CONTINUOUSLY FAIL. It's like if peacocks strutted their feathers, all the peahens say "EW", and bros just retry that same shit every 20 minutes. Cause of extinction: stupid.

I feel really bad for the number 68: both it's older and younger brother are literally nothing but jokes now. One that used to be funny, and one that was NEVER funny. The filling of a rote and cringe sandwich.

Because the bulk of truly new tech is just generative AI, in other words...unethical. And average tech drops today like phones/game consoles have plateau'd hard because content is what actually matters. So what better way to instill fresh novelty than sample things made LITERALLY before your time?

Not being a fan of Lillard's acting is like not being a fan of toppings on pizza. Or cheese. It's *technically* okay to do so, but like...who DOES that, man?

If I had a nickel for everytime a Mario RPG series had a line the summed up alot about how gaming discourse is these I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't alot but it's weird it happened twice

I think what I miss about being a kid the most is that...everything was decided for you; there was almost ZERO choice paralysis. Less time thinking, more time living. Now we gotta arrange everything ourselves, and uh...yeah. One big loading screen a lot of the time.

Sonic Heroes, Chaos Emerald Special Stages M&L: Brothership, the fucking magic watering can Mega Man X5, every time Alia talks

That is...really cool, ngl. The color palette is GORGEOUS, and the softer elegant look is a great reminder that Lucario's actually quite cute. The pronounced, whisker-like hair strands do look strange on a static render, tho. Looks much nicer in motion.

Oh yes, everyone's favorite: accrue GOBS of debt to conglomerate entertainment even further. Brilliant idea. Do this, and Netflix is actually dead; it'll just be Warner Bros. again, only with possibly(?) less garbage leadership.

Holiday mingling with family as a fringe Youtuber is...discomforting. When they inevitably ask "how's that going?", I have to suppress so much rage about crap they won't get. Like how the algorithm rewards *everything* I stand against: political bickering, AI slop, ragebaiting, NOT CARING... Hoy.

What do you figure is the best video game EVER for it's time? On a quality-to-era ratio, I'd say Super Mario Bros. 3; it's unspeakably amazing for an 80s game. But for current perspectives, I'd give it to both Ocarina of Time and Final Fantasy VII. Those fuckers ARE the OG AAA bangers, period.

What a surprise: the fucker running the digital storefront literally nobody likes or asked for is peddling the electro-cancer that nobody likes or asked for.

a telltale sign that a bubble is about to burst is when ubisoft believes in it

It's UNIMAGINABLE just how far shit's gonna splatter once the AI bubble finally bursts. So many selfish, stupid assholes feeding this supermassive black hole of human necessity like it's gonna magically cough up a galaxy just for them. How is real life even real, man?

I still have the god damn Pre-Order Bonus Disc for this shit, man. MY BITCH ASS IS SO OLD.

*finalizes audio for Top Ten Mario RPGs* *realizes it's 50 MINUTES LONG* Guys. I think I might like Mario RPGs...

The fuckin' movie...ain't even...10 YEARS OLD... Imagine if that shitty Lion King Remake was made in 2003. THAT'S how god damn curdled and rotting this milking is.

Oh, neat. Now we wait. Hopin' it's good!

I seriously wonder how they're gonna explain away Bowser Jr. in the Galaxy Movie. Did he exist the whole time, aka a BIG-ASS plot hole? Or did the Stork fuck up and Yoshi ended up with him, and now Jr. connects the dots and hunts for his real dad while Yoshi tries to stop him? Now THAT sounds fun.

So apparently Metroid Prime 4 has a decently normal human being talking to Samus in it's tutorial, and that's pissing people off. Really.

tfw when you're drawing something and you realise you're cooking more than you thought you could

Congratulations, you finally did it. You brought a change that makes it COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE for me to justify a subscription. Comfort-binging Zack & Cody won't selfishly shut me up this time, man.

Okay: NOW Xbox is officially dead.

Okay, yeah, no. I love Pokemon, but no. That's actually WAY overpriced.

Go ahead and keep it at this point, man. Stopped caring a LONG time ago.

I really hope Pokemon gen 10 has a decent handful of special-based Rock, Ground, and ESPECIALLY Fighting types. Seriously: Rock only has 4(Omastar, Aurorus, Nihilego, and Glimmora), Ground only 2(Palossand and Sandy Shocks), and Fighting only has ONE(Keldeo). Come. ON, bro!

Funny how there's recently been a wave of videos saying that "men are done" dating, and the women are like "where are all the men?!" Yeah, that's nothing new; those are called bitches. Not women, BITCHES. Big difference. News flash: People *in general* are just sick of settling for low quality.

Hey. If Carpenter wants to, and feels it's totally worth it, I say go for it. I trust his word. If so, I vote to call it "The Thing We All Fear".

*clears throat* ... NO.

Look, I generally prefer to keep posts on my socials apolitical(for very good, very obvious reasons), but this? This is fucking awesome news. Real people like this belong in those seats.

This is like chipping your tooth after falling on pavement and then going: "Eh, might as well start flossing with a hand saw! It's not like my teeth are gonna grow back!"

"Halloween just isn't the same anymore" True, but that doesn't mean it's worse. What we've lost in communal tradition was made up for in art. There's more high quality horror escapism now than EVER, with countless people psyched for it. Halloween still rocks; it's just a differently shaped rock.

Hey @fawfulsminion.bsky.social! *Shows you these A_one, are you? illustrations and then runs away*

Y'all...Y'ALL! Luigi's Mansion on NSO includes the PAL version! (under the settings menu) America finally has easy, official access to the better Hidden Mansion! On the OG GameCube release!

Y'know, ON PAPER, the next Xbox being essentially a strong (comparatively)affordable pre-built gaming PC sounds...really cool! But...mannn, the brand name just has the stink of death on it now. I hopped on Series X early and was happy for like a year before they RUINED it. Can't do that again, yo.

Mih s'ti, tihs ho...mih s'ti, tihs ho...mih s'ti, tihs ho! Mih s'ti, tihs ho! Mih s'ti, tihs ho! MIIIH, S'TIIII... TIHS HO!!!

Something wicked this way comes... www.youtube.com/watch?v=dveO...

TOP TEN ULTIMATE EVILS IN FICTION, will be up TOMORROW! (Later today for Patrons & Members!)

*Cutely grabs @fawfulsminion.bsky.social * Mr. Minion, what did your creepypasta do to me?! Why did it make me obsessed with Fawful?! WAS THERE SOME HIDDEN MEMETIC EFFECT IN IT?! (I actually love A_one, are you! But reading it had somehow made me develop a great liking for Fawful, some time ago..)

Reject indifference, embrace enthusiasm.

OH MY GOD, FINALLY. NO MORE BEING SAD 'CUZ ALL GAMECUBE CONTROLLERS DIED. NO MORE HAVING TO EMULATE ON STEAM DECK WITH AUDIO STUTTER. AND NO MORE CONTROLLER PAIRING PROBLEMS WHEN DOCKING SAID STEAM DECK.

I just noticed something: A LOT of media I love share the same story. Paper Mario TTYD, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, Puss in Boots 2, Another Crab's Treasure, Donkey Kong Bananza... They're all modern spins on It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World/The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly. That...blew my mind.
