Slay the Spire 2 is fucking incredible so far. Maybe just a touch too easy, but absolutely satisfying. I've played for 5 and a half hours straight and I didn't even realize it.

Spread the word, an ACTUAL replacement for Flash is on the horizon! Go support this project NOW!!!!!!!! bill.newgrounds.com/news/post/16...

Well might as well throw my hat into the ring. I hope you like minimalist MS Paint doodles. I think she turned out pretty cute!

windows 11 update: for the first time in my life, simply right clicking a file has a load time. unreal

I wish I had a succinct way to explain to people that taking a bullshit death or making a leap of faith in old games isn't bad design, it's a different teaching too. It's literally just "How was I supposed to know?" "Well now you DO know." Games are so much more fun when you play to learn.

Tried Arknight Endfield. Gave it roughly an hour or so. It's...fine. But I really feel like I could be playing a better game. I don't think it's bad, it'll definitely be something people love. But it's not doing anything remotely interesting either.

Gotta be real, I think this might be the best picture I've ever taken of myself, I'm really happy with it :) #selfie

They're calling it the most stacked roster ever

I just checked on steam, apparently it's been almost 3 years since I've played Furi? What the hell? I think about that game all the time, that's wild. I'm going to have to revisit it soon, I've been jonesing for a good blisteringly hard action game that'll make me hate my thumbs.

I am so, so, so, so SO, SO, SO, SO ***SO*** tired of cozy everything. I hope the cozy fad/aesthetic dies soon I am so unbelievably burnt out on every 3rd ad I get being for cozy this game or cozy that game cozy cozy COZY COZY

Took a selfie last night, and I'm actually pretty happy with it. I think I look pretty okay here.

This would be so unbelievably cool omg

"I don't think there's anything noble about moralizing your choice in game difficulty." *Raucous applause* "...Which includes moralizing or bragging about playing on easy mode." *Applause quickly turns to boos and jeers.*

I got banned from @pointcrow.bsky.social 's youtube chat during the Kingdom Hearts 2 stream because someone said no spoilers and I replied "Bruce Willis was dead the whole time" that is WILD

Had a truly bizarre dream last night that I was playing Blazblue with @eyepatchwolf.bsky.social in his living room and they added a new transmasc character and we just had a chill conversation about how rad that was.

Homestar keeps messin with all my Decemberween gadgets!! He left this jaunty, janky pixel prance on my Astro-Lite 5700!

We need to bring back “the coolest fucking scarf you’ve ever seen in your life” as an aesthetic

Testing something important here.... Quest 64.

i stand by this statement every year

Gonna say something that might ruffle some feathers, but I think cozy/casual gamers are starting to become one of the most toxic groups out there. I am actually quite tired of the sentiment that if you don't have fun in a certain low-stakes way then you're not ACTUALLY having fun at all.

I kind of get why the kids like lost media so much. Finding out you cannot watch something will drive you fucking insane. What do you MEAN I can't watch this anime made to promote a novelty drink that only existed from 1991 to 1993? I NEEEEEED IT.

Poll: If I tell someone that I had a $600 vet bill that I handled and can still pay my bills but it wiped my ability to purchase a $400 plane ticket and that person says "Have you considered just making more money" and they were 100% earnest about that, would you say that person is a jerk?

EVERYONE LOOK AT THIS CUTE FANART I GOT OF MY WEIRD LITTLE DOODLE

Kinda wanna hack my 3DS, kinda petrified at the prospect of it.

Happy Halloween! I'm celebrating the spookiest way I know: Playing a game I Do Not Like. Come hang out with me! www.twitch.tv/arkthepieking

Heaven have mercy on my soul, I'm going to attempt to stream Final Fantasy 14. Come join the suffering! www.twitch.tv/arkthepieking #FFXIV #FinalFantasyXIV

Been starting to get really into D&B, Liquid, and Jungle beats lately. Just youtube playlists for now but I'd love some suggestions for artists to look into if anyone knows any.

I totally understand game development is a big, hard, unsteady thing with lots of setbacks and unexpected circumstances and delays are inevitable. That said...the only two games I was looking forward to have been delayed and I am just BUMMED. #MinaTheHollower #SlayTheSpire2

Translation purists are genuinely the most obnoxious subset of weird racists on the internet. "Um in the original version he said 'I hope you have a nice night!' not 'Take it easy!' fucking woke translators are RUINING ANIME". Like it's genuinely painful being into fan translations thank to them.

Haven't streamed in a while, decided to do some Wuthering Waves. Grinding out a self-imposed solo challenge, should be fun to watch me bash my head against a brick wall for an hour or two, come say hi! <3 www.twitch.tv/arkthepieking

Genuinely my favorite movie and everyone I've ever shown this movie has fallen in love with it.

Chrono Cross is maddening, I'm so close to enjoying the game, like just teetering on the edge, but every time I start to I get yanked backwards by a terrible design choice. In this case what's bugging me are the random encounters. They're so pointless and slow, often you just get nothing from them.

Breath of the Space Colony #metroid

"omg she drew that on ms paint?" "Omg did she draw that on her 3ds" but never "omg she drew it on armored core for ps1 emblem creator on a dualsense"

You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.

Soldam was as what the kids say "lost media" for many years. It was planned to be released for the Famicom in 1993 by Jaleco but never ended up happening. Not only is it getting an NES cartridge release, there's plans for a Famicom cartridge release as well with this box art. Very cool to see!

I'm in that horrible place between hyperfixations where I need to have something to do, but absolutely nothing sounds good. No games, shows, anime, books, anything sounds like it's going to capture my interest. Help?

very direct evidence that video game piracy is important in the preservation of video games

Do you think there's anyone out there whose favorite video game is the Game Boy version of Chuck Rock?

Plans got shunted around pretty hard, let's make the most of it! Going live with some Wild Guns: Reloaded! www.twitch.tv/arkthepieking

Keep up the pressure! #SaveSpeech

This is the one and only time I will make a post about this, but for those of you interested, I made an NSFW account. @arkbakery.bsky.social‬ (Yeah the name kind of sucks my first 3 choices were all taken). Not entirely sure what it'll be used for, but it's there.

"Glover but in the Final Fantasy 6 soundfont" "Donkey Kong 64 but in the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 soundfont" "Deltarune but in the Mega Man 2 soundfont" Bro I'm so tired, I don't care, please youtube stop putting these in my suggested

Throwing my hat into the #deltarune theory ring. So you know how determination and refused had double meanings in Undertale? De-termination for coming back from the dead and re-fused when the heart came back in the Asriel fight? Well I think Dess's "unused" dialog is un-used. 1/2
