Yo, Path of Abyss looks juicy for dungeon-crawling sickos! It's an indie Japanese DRPG, heavily inspired by Wizardry, but with an interesting real-time combat that mix a Grandia-like action timer with comboing skills. Cool presentation & ideas! Also, cheap! store.steampowered.com/app/1768650/...

I suspect that fact that the vast majority of LLM users don’t seem to have received this (really very simple!) message is because the AI companies have a vested interest in us not understanding it. “ChatGPT is smart, it just makes mistakes sometimes” is much more marketable than the truth.

I finished reading DBZ for the first time and boy uh...The pacing in that series sure isn't great. Bringing up plot points, dropping them in a manner of 3 pages or so just so you can get right to the action is so bizarre to me. I'm so used to the anime and waiting weeks to get my fights done!

The thing that I will most remember about this game is it got announced in an American Nintendo Direct where the Japanese version of the Direct instead announced a Tokimeki Memorial remake and there was nothing that better summed up the divide on the visual novel genre between American devs and fans

it is important to note: thanks to internet sample sleuths, it is now a known fact that in this fully licensed Disney dancing game, Donald Duck intros the It's A Small World (Ducking Hardcore Mix) by yelling "SMELL MY FINGER BITCH"

Yo @wakuwakugames.com I gave the demo for BrebeMan a go from the Steam Next Fest. I am ungodly excited for this game now and can you pass onto the developer that I'm beyond excited and ready to play this? Because its SO FUCKING SICK store.steampowered.com/app/3349980/...

pro-Palestine demonstration in front of the GQuuuuuux billboard may be one of the most Gundam things to ever happen

you mean to tell me this cheese is solid, liquid, gas AND plasma??

Oh no! Slimes…

According to NEC, the correct way to play the PC Engine is while drinking martinis and eating pasta.

‪If you enjoyed the new collection we added yesterday, we've got even more for you! We've also added a collection of original artwork by Kirk Henderson from ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron archive.gamehistory.org/folder/38a31...

this is pretty wild, this game was a "phantom game" called "Navinosuke -The Yo-kai Buster-" that was in made 20 years ago but never officially released for GBA by SNK/Nazca former Metal Slug developer and it will be revived for nintendo switch in 2026 by KOHACHI STUDIO now! kohachistudio.com/yokai/

I'm hopelessly addicted to Liquid Death's cherry flavor, man. Please send help (or another 10 packs of this stuff)

I don't know if it ever got reassessed but I will always stick up for the 2009 Bionic Commando as a game with some substantial issues but a lot of it was forgivable because the swinging mechanics felt really really good

Illustrations of (mischievous) adventure from the Underworld... The Ultima Underworld! Adorable scenes to fuel your imagination as you delve into the depths, snapped from the Japanese clue book for Ultima Underworld.

I genuinely don’t know how else to explain Americans seeing the federal government invade California and turn around to say “Gosh I hope those protesters stop being violent” other than a completely and totally brainwashed society

Like this is funny but also super important to keep in mind when you hear claims about the impending AGI or "Chat-GPT smarter than a Professional" or w/e. Like this is a great illustration about just how "flat" LLM "intelligence" is.

Funko Pops are a vile capitalist perversion of the universal human need to hold a tiny little guy

First computer I remember using was my dad's Windows 3.1 machine that he got for printing cards, doing business forms, and playing games on. We had a couple shareware CDs from Quantum Access at the time so we had about 150+ games to play of....varying quality. It was my gateway into PC gaming!

I am begging people, begging people, BEGGING people to get your mind out of the evil/good:black/white binary. Human beings are nuanced creatures and tangential-often-character-limited responses are a fast track to losing that nuance and fear 'of your own side' turning against you bc of that sucks

I've always felt pretty strongly this is what makes the difference between really creatively successful artists and artists who end up making mediocre imitations. A lot of people want to make something inspired by Earthbound but Undertale didn't just ask "how do I make Another Earthbound".

I'm sick with Covid, so I made this, an idea I've had for MONTHS now, Street Fighter 6 with Hanna Barbera Sound effects.
