Lily is the sweetest girl when she isn't trying to scratch our TV

these rightwingers get bored fast because all they know how to do is be mad online and say evil shit, and there’s only so much being mad online and saying evil shit especially if your targets all leave your space

Video game discourse would be so much better if people stopped to ask themselves, “do I actually believe this? Or am I just parroting an e-celeb whose charisma on camera made me think their opinion must be objectively correct?”

you need to play at least one game that youtuber consensus fucking hates and form your own opinion. Your taste in games will improve significantly if you do this simple action

【世界の旅】ギリシャ、エーゲ海の島🇬🇷

no other game doing critters like yoshi's island. look at these fuckers. i love them

I’ve decided 2025 is going to be The Year of the PS2 for me, bc I’m trying to spend less money on games and the best way to do that is keep myself busy emulating a bunch of old stuff. So far I’ve played: Tales of Rebirth (fan translation) Onimusha Chulip Mister Mosquito Okami And started Ico today

I get that combat in Ico is intentionally clunky, and I’m good with that, but man it would be nice if this kid could take less than 365 days to recover from being knocked down

I don’t understand people who treat Metroid like a series with a rich narrative and deep lore when the plot of almost every 2D game can be summed up in a sentence, and usually is at the start of the next game.

this person said it so good so here it is

Tragic: I decided not to get the chocolate biscuits that I wanted bc they were a bit pricey, and am now regretting not buying them 😭

Grandma has something to say

Deeply cautious about Hundred Line after I hated Rain Code, but holy shit this line has me in stitches

it's cold out there!!! take a lil cyndaquil with u 🤲

GenAI isn't programmed to be accurate and check facts. More people need to realise it is NOT a search engine, it's a chat bot programmed to sound human through the statistical likelihood that words will appear in a certain order. LLMs are not search engines. Do not use them for research.

I’ve been using Backloggd a lot recently to try write some game reviews. I’m pretty happy with this one I did for Chulip, the cult classic PS2 “kissing RPG” that’s… flawed but interesting. www.backloggd.com/u/PancakeTim...

My thoughts on realism in movies and games

Really bugs me when people call Mother/Earthbound a "dead franchise." Like, it's not dead, it ended. It's fine for series to end. Not everything needs to be an eternally propagated franchise. Besides, what would even be the point of a new game with that brand if Itoi doesn't want to do another one?

The cool thing about video games is they can be almost anything. They’re so malleable. So it frustrates me when people say turn based RPGs, or 2D games, or visual novels aren’t real games or w/e imo it’s cool that games as different as Halo and Tokimeki Memorial are part of the same medium

Today I learned there’s a Fight Club PS2 fighting game with Fred Durst as an unlockable character, because he demanded that he be playable in any game that licensed Limp Bizkit’s music

once again drawing my fave

fyi: umurangi generation, one of the cooler games out of ANZ in the last 5 years, is available for $2.15 right now store.steampowered.com/app/1223500/... (if you loved pokemon snap back in the day, this is absolutely your jam)

it has been said before but one problem is that when some people say 'the economy' they're talking about poor people affording food and housing, & when some other people say 'the economy' they're referring to a chart of how happy rich people are

Hit Infinite rank in Marvel Snap with an old favourite, Spectrum Destroyer ft. Electro. First time in ages I’ve reached infinite with something I cooked up myself instead of netdecking, and it feels great.

I’d just like to shout out humans for at least seeing through NFTs as the most idiotic idea possible.

Johto region is technically my favorite region but who's your pick? #pokemon
