absolutely fucking incredible. this belongs in both the bsky louvre and the actual louvre

Hey everyone!! If anyone has some extra cash to help with, any would be greatly appreciated! No emergency yet atm, but I'll share anyway since it's the start of the month. ko-fi.com/magicotters/...

The best thing EA ever did was partner with Nintendo on the GameCube port of SSX On Tour so that you can watch Luigi snowboard to Bat Country by Avenged Sevenfold

just hit me how Twilight Princess managed to be the worst-looking Zelda on 3 consecutive consoles Nintendo are cowards for not porting it to Switch so it could turn that triple crown into a quadruple threat

I think the design goal for a lot of new technology is to make it so terrible in specific ways that we forget it ever being good

Newly minted evergreen meme

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."

gamers really be like "I can excuse genocide but I draw the line at price hikes"

a) as always, genocide-supporting MS can get fucked b) $360/yr for Day 1 first-party is buckwild, right? Like that's a bit more than 5 $70 games and how many of those is a normal person actually buying on an average yearly basis?

"Is Donald Trump Pro-Ship" – the greatest thread in the history of forums, locked by a moderator after 12,239 pages of heated debate,

oh it's time to post the Tetris story again. (short version: reporter goes to cover early e-sports, discovers that his wife is, unknowingly, the greatest Tetris player in the world) archive.boston.com/news/globe/m...

Tall goth robot lady has a quest for you. Will you accept it? #lowpoly #gamedev #indiedev

Ah man we’re screwed

Yeah so when people have talked about the crash I've been pointing out that the western games biz has been crashing for years, it's just crashing slowly. The EA buyout will speed things up quite a bit, though.

working on a new unified theory of american reality i'm calling "everyone is twelve now"

WELL, THIS FUCKING SUCKS. I really don't think people realise just how bad the Saudis and Trump's nephew controlling the stable of IP held onto by EA is for the art form. If you think mainstream gaming was stale before, now it's going to be owned by the most conservative people on the planet too.

just try to name a more iconic trilogy

i know fascism isnt sustainable as a matter of principle and so they were always going to go eventually but at this rate im hard pressed to give them another 8 months of runway

FInal weekend, can we do a miracle please? I need one.

today in "things that sound like the ravings of an insane conspiracy theorist but actually nope that's just straight-up what's happening"

Disbanding ICE and prosecuting everyone who led and worked for it is, in fact, the moderate position.

you win if you fight

today's September 26th and that means it's Stanislav Petrov Day If that doesn't mean anything to you, then I recommend reading all about how on this day back in 1983, one dude saved the world by going all in on "nothing ever happens, my bosses are idiots, and The Computer is a lying bastard"

Good morning! I need help with my psych bills. I can't afford to do it by myself, so any help is appreciated. Thank you for any help or reposts. I love you. I set the goal for transparency ko-fi.com/wonderluigi/...

Imagine spending $600 on a handheld and then being told it wasn’t even the good version of the two.

i think the radically different feelings people have for Reggie's Nintendo of America vs Bowser's Nintendo of America are a really clear example of "you are not immune to nostalgia and marketing"

Level-5 moment

well, hard to argue Weird Nintendo(tm) isn't still very much alive and weird

i think this picture, from a public promo stream for a video games starring one of the most popular comic book characters of all time owned by the disney corporation, should be used on every single story about storefronts taking down lgbt content

if you say shit like "creators" instead of authors or writers or directors, and "content" instead of movies, books, series, etc..you shouldn't be able to say anything about art >i just don't like mozart's content get into the locker, freak

it's so funny to announce an exact date a year out for any game but especially when it's yet another asymmetrical horror movie tie-in game yeah bro really gonna schedule some time off well in advance so i can play the newest Dead By Daylight-like that'll shutdown in 3 years

sometimes I think some people would "well they should just make this an option/separate mode" and "just a few more 'QoL' settings" all the personality and design choices off a game if they could rather than try engaging with something on its own terms and that kinda bums me out

Mario Kart World discourse sorta fascinates me. Like so many people seemingly wanted to just keep playing MK8D and bought World thinking it'd be MK8D-2 despite all evidence to the contrary and now throw a bit of a fit every time a post-launch update doesn't turn it into that

chat is it good when governments and newspapers are talking about "the [minority] problem"?

random thought ive had for weeks: a version of “Virtua Cop” where Buffalo Springfield gently warns you when bad guys appear

there isn't a hell hot enough for these fucks

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

the story of America is immediately forgiving or excusing the dumbest and most evil people rather than demanding they face any real consequences for their actions, in the name of unity and "just moving on". And then being surprised that letting them off the hook scotfree didn't solve the problem

Testing a theory: reskeet if "every ICE agent will be unmasked and tried for their crimes" would get your vote

It is fucked up what they did to the headphone jack

GOTYs without thinking too hard: 2024: Emio 2023: Tears of the Kingdom 2022: Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe 2021: Metroid Dread 2020: Hades 2019: Tetris 99 2018: Smash Ultimate 2017: Breath of the Wild 2016: Hitman 2015: Rocket League

this is so funny. buy my console that sucks shit for more money while i actively support a genocide. yeah man okay

happy bowsette-versary to those who celebrate

many of you forget this and it makes me worry

our desire to seek the answers to questions, mainly in gen z and below, but also across the board, is languishing. ppl kinda just sit helplessly on it til someone appears on their feed to talk abt it, and the pathos/ingroup status of that person has more impact on believability than info quality

Your turn, Midwest Also very funny New York gets listed twice (NY state and NYC) but also I mean yeah, NYC alone is like a million more people than the whole of Massachussets so no shit that warrants a seat at the table

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

Prime 4 Trailer Discourse makes me feel like i'm going insane cuz it's been "looks too much like Halo>looks too much like more Prime>looks like they made it open world" as if each new trailer erases all prior context from peoples' minds whereas my reaction every time has been "game looks f-ing rad"
