at least one resident of castle town is going to turn out to be the Mr. Poopybutthole, just a lightner who snuck in and blended in with all the darkners

"you should care about preserving shitty mobile games too!" ok I get that, I see why, it's bad if things just disappear without a trace. and yet I still feel it would've been even better if they just never existed in the first place

the usage of nostalgia as a tool of fascism/capitalism comes at us from two ends, both to lure us away from the march of progress, and to deny its current degradation of everything, "no everything's not getting worse, that's just nostalgia talking! you only miss it because you were young"

gacha games with imminent end of service dates on the calendar should not be accepting any further payments, but also for the saps still actually putting money into them within that time it is legally defined as oreos walkin' around money

These four classic games are now available to play! Game Boy for #NintendoSwitchOnline members: ☑️ Fortified Zone ☑️ Wario Land™: Super Mario Land™ 3 ☑️ The Sword of Hope II Game Boy Advance for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion members: ☑️ Dr. Mario™ & Puzzle League

imagine if the verb "detailed" didn't exist and news sites would have to get more creative with their sentence structure in headlines for game info press release drips

they should do Zelda DLC for Mario Kart World with a free roamable Hyrule map just so the music team has an excuse to make a ton of random renditions in like bossa nova and ska style or what have you

if you like mechanical deep dives, you'll enjoy my piece on the Mega Man Zero series imagine if DMC had that combat depth, but no style system to surface it, and everyone only compared it to the Resident Evil series that's how people talk about this series canonfire.net/post/6775935...

With public opinion of Xbox and PlayStation at an all-time low, Nintendo has gone for the jugular by unleashing the Clu Clu Land icons.

to mark the end of American cultural dominance we should forfeit all the .com domain sites to China and change all ours to .co.us

this morning I for some reason dreamed I bought a physical copy of Blue Prince and the game case came in a paper slip case which you could disassemble and unfold to reveal a secret map to a special house layout, which when I then duplicated in game triggered some major story event.

when Chapter 7 drops there will literally be people like "time to load up my childhood Deltarune file 👴"

I love how they expanded on the story in this game.

I think I know what's happening with Chadley (ft @chipcheezum.bsky.social and @mynameisgrant.bsky.social )

Justice Friends

ok wait what if in Metroid Ravenous Samus has fully assimilated her Metroid DNA and absorbed Raven Beak's essence which combine to give her a vampire-like form with big raven wings and fangs and *gets light headed and passes out*

if you think about it the title "Tomodachi Collection" is basically the polar opposite of "Alien Isolation"

That one time I listened to Johnny C. Bad while drawing Relm putting ribbons on everyone 🎀

if all the major corporate Hollywood-based production companies went out of business do you think all the film buffs would be dooming all day like "ugh this is so bleak, it feels like MOVIES as a concept are ending..."

I've passed the same Photoshop CS3 "Portable" copy and chiptune tracks by retired musicians from defunct websites from device to device for over a decade, I cherish them the same as game discs. all data is digital, storage physical, don't lose sight that what actually matters, your freedom

they trained millennials how to use computers too good and napster basically flattened an entire industry. I think that's why they don't even want you to touch your phone's file system now, they can't let kids become that powerful again

DRM is anti-consumer, we've known this forever, and it's a fight we won with music downloads forever ago! But people will trade away their rights for convenience, and companies figured out it's more profitable to sell a subscription than a product, so music streaming took over.

Jerk your worthless penis to the beat! Rhythm Heaven Groove releases on the Nintendo Switch family of systems tomorrow. Are you excited?

I concede that it's probably best to not announce a game so early that you have to fend off vaporware accusations, but you must agree it should probably be revealed bit before it's sent out to international ratings boards

they should have deltarune ch6 be a tournamnent arc thats unrelated to anything just to piss people off

Wasn't enjoying the replies on this one so took it down Lol

the Sony end of physical announcement doesn't even try to highlight any actual positives that come with it. less plastic? less shipping costs and fuel usage? I suppose they don't want to even plant the notion that any savings may possibly pass to us

in the late 00s we somehow pulled off a briefly successful mainstream push for DRM-free music after the outrage at iTunes selling encrypted mp3s, and I always really wish we could've pushed that further, incepted the idea of treating games the same way, legitimizing a DRM-free rom market

Sony announcing the death of physical media on Rhythm Heaven Eve

My biggest pet peeve is that there's a ton of scam websites that are "Free QR Code Generator"s then the QR code stops working after a few days and then redirects you to ask you to PAY to re-activate it. I made a page on website for making ACTUALLY FREE QR Codes. Enjoy. konig.games/QRCodes/ #QRCodes

society is ready to forgive grippy toad

Nintendo Direct voice: Crave sucking and fucking in this adventure about a person who was born on a mountain and raised in a cave

we should demand a second Kingdom Hearts rep in Smash so they can possibly have a good moveset

Sora getting into smash was bad exclusively because now people consider the "big" characters left to get in to be like Master Chief and Kratos and i don't gaf. we need to remove Sora so we can be aiming for Sora again, none of the other big guys are as fun as Sora

Deltarune is a Homestar Runner-like on many levels, but especially how it'll do a parody of something which immediately rings as so true, yet is abstracted enough that you can't for the life of you place a specific example of what it's parodying

Mario Kart World update adds two new routes to Knockout Tour and more www.nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/...

it takes so much effort whenever people are like can you believe they’re doing pre-orders for GTA6 without any gameplay to be like don’t worry there won’t be any gameplay when you install it either!

i miss cohost man

I grew up with Bomberman I love Bomberman, but my knowledge betrayed me in the Deltarune boss fight because the bombs are not supposed to harm you before they explode, and ideally you'd be able to bump/kick them

ok the Steam Machine is $1k+ but what if Half-Life 3 is an exclusive

What I'm listening to today: "Gaia floating in me", Cube 80s hip-hop samplers, SNES chiptune, and MS-DOS trackers all are based on low-bitrate samples. This 2008 DOS jam leans into this to produce a great 80s industrial feel, sound like a rave in Donkey Kong Country www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzRu...

Star Fox should've gone full crazy Shadow Hedgehog mode and added an achievement checklist for every possible permutation of campaign routes with a unique name for each one

people seem a bit thrown through a loop over games like Star Fox and Star Wars Galactic Racer as products, they're not used to seeing this production value and fidelity on stuff outside ultra big scope AAA-authorized genres. the top specs have hit a wall, the bottom and mid ranges are catching up.

Capcom's on such a good streak lately, I think we're ready, reboot Bionic Commando again, why not?
