New games weren't scarce in the 90s, but you could've easily played most of the hits. Now there's so many masterpieces that everyone has their personal endless backlog of amazing content. AI slop shouldn't be able to thrive in a market bursting with so many human-made, genuine banger pieces of art.

challenge enthusiasts vc hit 1000 hours today lol

for those who don't keep up with politics govt shutdown = no food govt open = no healthcare if govt stayed shut down, we would have no food but keep healthcare but because govt reopened it basically means they took away food for a month for no reason and also no healthcare

Professional networking (playing among us with celeste players)

A plea for help. 🙏 One of the lead playtesters of Blue Prince, Iggy, has polycystic kidney disease and has only a few months to find a living kidney donor. His story, contact and donor information can all be found on iggyland.org Please help us in sharing his story and getting the word out.💙

One of the best (and most damning) articles I've ever read

Briana White - Aerith’s voice actress in the FF7 series- is currently running a huge charity auction with a bunch of Final Fantasy memorabilia. And all proceeds are donated Immigrant Defenders Law Center - helping for legal funds and reconnecting families. Take a look! tiltify.com/@thestranger...

Reminder that this is a winning position, and people support it

It's over dude if you told me literally 2 months ago that I would have finished Kaizo Galaxy I probably would have told you that you were crazy lol, I wasn't planning on doing this at all but the idea just popped into my head one day and I did it. It's honestly hard to believe.

Perfectly cut moment

A source familiar w/ internal workings at MasterCard notes the company does not plan to recruit additional call center workers for the Christmas season, as MasterCard does not expect higher call volume than usual. A resurgence of calls re censorship during the busy season would be huge strategically

Today in exciting dezzy developments, I've figured out how to transfer my save from cartridge to pc so I can stream my battle frontier attempts (and use speedup lmfao)

I read a theory saying that throwback galaxy was originally supposed to be in World S and I've been thinking about it ever since. Like if you swapped it with Flip Out Galaxy, World S would be entirely references to other games, + Grandmaster Galaxy.

Thinking about this more, and as good as the games are, the culture is just as thriving right now. I've never seen so many indie rhythm games doing collabs with each other, even games that have been out for a while. It's so awesome

I'll hop on this trend except I'm kinda cheating with more than 10 games lol I couldn't leave clone hero out, even though I don't really play it anymore it's still something people know me for. And batman is technically 4 games. And even then there's an extra game but shh

Razz is one of the charting goats, if you're interested in CH check out the commissions!

Did my largest spreadsheet update in quite a while. Here's a before/after. I decided it didn't have enough visual contrast from left to right, so I came up with a dropdown system (mostly on my own!) that does a cool gradient effect. And then did that for like 1000 entries. lol.

idk maybe I'm dumb and unable to truly appreciate good art but I honestly can't tell what separates new halo from like any other modern remakes in terms of it being good art vs bad art. Like it's nothing special, but like idk it looks kinda fine to me? still not buying it though

Bluesky should have an option so that when you follow someone, they can see it, but nobody else can see it. Like you won't show up as "this person and this person follow that person"

the answer to should games cost $100 is that execs/billionaires hold all the money that should be going to the devs and they also hold all the money that would've allowed you to afford a $100 game

If there was ever 1 year for the game awards to implement a rhythm category, it would be this year

I hate when people are like "there is a prominent person who is racist and nobody will call them out. I will also not call them out. But they are racist, and here's why." like dude just fucking say who it is so I can unfollow the racist person holy shit

i think my favourite part about being a trans woman is how much of an impact we have on culture. a friend reminded me today about a popular meme format she created. another friend today casually told me about how she was the most notorious roblox hacker when she was a child. just a day in the life!

ik some of the autistic people out there do not want to hear this

my theory is that autism IS the woke mind virus that they are afraid of. Like they are one and the same. I'm not joking

Gonna try switching to musicbee for playlist management since spotify sucks (will likely still use it for song discovery in the meantime) Will be a pretty big change though so we'll see if it sticks

so I've been playing kaizo mario galaxy and it changes the level order around? This is the fountain. I actually love this so much it makes the game really exciting, I never know what to expect next :)

Really good game, still have a few things left to do obviously but I feel like this game let me appreciate exploration again after spending so long unable to stray from guides. Some of the combat I found a bit frustrating, but once you get the hang of it it's pretty fun!

I keep wanting to get 3x the score requirement for all the arkham asylum challenge maps but every time I load the game up I realize how awful score grinding is

This is highly context dependent and case by case, but I'm not convinced doing a mass exodus of every site that doesn't conform to leftist ideals is a good move in the long run (this is not about bluesky) because it's basically just ceding more ground to bigots (not about bluesky!!!!!!)

Damn girl, is your name thracia? because I just got an 11.776

There's a surprising amount of people who I'm friends with that just like don't get trans stuff at all. Like they're fine with me being trans but then will say that children shouldn't be taking hormones. And I don't know how to make them understand how important it is that children can do that

Someone else brought this up in a discord server I'm in but it really is funny that the entire guitar hero community basically thinks they're the only rhythm game ever and is treating fortnite festival and redoctane as the revival of rhythm gaming when so many other good ones exist

a story in 2 parts

I think the thing that depresses me the most about pokemon and genwunnerism (man it has been a while since I have used that term) is the fact that like pretty much every pokemon ever has someone who thinks it's their favorite, and those people are never gonna see their favorite in a spinoff game

Just read through an entire thread of like, good/positive things happening in the world. Seems like there's a lot of good in the world if you aren't trans

you could pay $40 to replay a wii game you've probably done a dozen times or you could get both silksong and jetrunner for $20 each which are like top 3 indie games of the year. Really tough choice there

I can't even complain about there being a lack of interesting games coming out because I wouldn't be able to afford that shit anyways. $40 just to replay galaxy 2 with gyro controls, goddamn. At least there's new fire emblem.

"but we can't support trans rights, it's unpopular!" just a reminder that US approval for marriage between black and white people at the start of the civil rights movement was 4%, reaching a whopping 20% by the end of the movement it's 95% now you don't wait for popularity for a rights movement

it's hard to explain but "you have to stay alive out of spite" feels so victim blamey to me?

FINALLY got a run back to stubbornness after like 2 months lol, died to st-7, missed the regrab of the pink block after the wall bounce.

Finished 2 more games today/yesterday. Ellipsis, an easier "bullet hell" arcade type game (not a true bullet hell) and Apollo Justice, Ace Attorney both were p good

everyone is saying silksong is really hard which makes it honestly more interesting to me, but like it's inevitably gonna get nerfed because people are gonna complain lol

N1RV-Ann-a really deserves it, was supposed to come out in 2020, was delayed, and has had radio silence since practically. And it's an indie game, so that's definitely the most 1:1 silksong equivilent if you ask me. But there's a lot of other anticipated releases that are still supposedly coming...

A lot of video-game publishers spend hundreds of millions of dollars chasing after "realistic graphics" and "massive open-worlds" when what players really want is just a shitload of weird little guys

boundaries = “this isnt for me and ill take active steps to not see this type of stuff censorship = “this isnt for me and i want everyone who likes and/or makes this type of stuff thrown in jail”

one of my best popoffs this is a 5 point game on CE that took me 20 hours, was very glad to finish it today (game is wowowow korone box)

Canadians, this is a parliamentary petition, not a random online thing. Takes a minute to sign. An easy good deed for the day.

I feel like boycotts would be a lot more effective if it wasn't always 30 companies at once causing the problem
