Iono and Canari internet beef

folks will say, “this fandom is the worst!” but sometimes it really is just one person who starts shit no matter what community they are in

save me, official promo art where misato and ritsuko unambiguously fucked

You've got Mario Odyssey Now how about Mario Can't-a-See

I drew Hornet with some bugs.

lol Crunchyroll

In Super Mario RPG, the Guerrilla enemy is a "knock-off" of Donkey Kong. This is referenced in a unique way by its Japanese name, which replaces two of its characters with similar ones as though on a bootleg product logo. In English, this could be conveyed as e.g. "Donkev Konq".

Absolutely devastated by this news. SpaceDrake was no doubt a huge influence in drumming up interest for Japanese indie games localized into English and pushing for them on digital distribution storefronts like steam. Huge loss. Might be time for another playthrough of Recettear in his honour.

U.K. residents, could this be your chance to stop paypro censorship in the country? Please sign this petition petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

I can’t believe Silksong is actually Frog Fractions 4!

Bubble Bobble Sugar Dungeons will be including the Sega Saturn port of Bubble Symphony, as done by City Connection who did the S-Tribute versions of a few other Taito games. It'll be a separate app but they haven't said it's any kind of pre-order bonus... Yet. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiPs...

don't you forget about me ♪♫

Pagliacci [watching footage of his own show]: This isn’t bad. Areas to improve, but overall, it works. Huh. It’s funny, I avoided this for so long. I was afraid of taking stock of myself. And I was so focused on the road ahead, I never stopped to consider how far I’d come. Thank you, doctor

Reiko going through her wardrobe and revisiting a bit of the past 🏁✨

So please, do not move forward as normal. This isn't normal. It's imperative to put pressure on Microsoft to end this. Whether that's by canceling Game Pass, refusing to cover their games with your normal cadence on your platforms, or to pressure them internally as employees. Now is the time.

In Donkey Kong Bananza, Pauline will often point out a banana when Donkey Kong approaches it. Due to a quirk in the game's item noticing priority, it is possible for Pauline to shout "An apple!" when approaching a banana, appearing confused about the nature of the fruit.

corporations on july 1st:

I've been waiting for months for this embargo to be up so I can share my unfiltered thoughts on this game! Short version: not on the level of Uchikoshi's magnum opus with no branching storylines, but solidly fun with a strong sense for the characters.

two things can be true. DK Bananza is probably more affected by spoilers than a heavy narrative game with themes and subtext, as opposed to a pure kids theme park ride where the surprise and novelty are key appeals. also "donkey kong spoilers" is the single funniest phrase of all time

It’s always monday somewhere

Nami & Robin as Morrigan & Lilith

There is absolutely no parody VN as funny as the bit in Nozaki-Kun where two of the guys play Tokimemo and feel bad for your best friend helper character and want him to find love

Update (July 7, 2025)

Anyone going to this should pack a vuvuzela or something

What fucking projects?

yea honestly reading this for myself this really doesnt come off as "game devs should start using genAI for large-scale games", more "games are getting too big and unsustainable to make and to keep it up theyre gonna have to resort to shit like genAI". not advocacy but lament for the state of things

When a new Mario Kart game comes out

The cool thing about Kamala Khan's look in Marvel Tōkon is that you know Kamala herself would be freaking out about how anime she looks.

i just think that making a game with 100 endings, but one of them is yaoi, and you don't know which, is the most powerful underground games marketing tactic i've ever heard of. some hunt for the golden ticket shit

Oh hey, I'm proud to contribute to worker-owned and independent new site Skybox! This is my essay about having a stroke, losing the ability to write or walk or play video games, and digging myself out of that depressive hole using video games. It's maybe the most vulnerable writing I've ever done.

Gundam Fans watching Gquacks are clapping and gasping and leaning over you to say "That's Bulk Grumman!" and when you're like oh cool he just likes like some random old dude, is he good, they say "oh no, definitely not" and start listing all the war crimes he committed.

We'll ask for your support all the time, but if you're able to, here are some friends in the space that are keeping independent games media alive. www.patreon.com/nextlander www.patreon.com/cw/jeffgerst... www.patreon.com/minnmax www.patreon.com/kindafunnyga... remapradio.com/signup/
