The OG quote lives

Good evening! This is your weekly reminder to stop doom scrolling and start playing retro games. This week's game is Metroid II: Samus Returns for the Game Boy. The sequel to Metroid finds Samus Aran hunting down and eradicating the Metroid race on their home planet, SR-388

If you're worried about people remembering every embarrassing thing you did, think about it. Can you remember other people's embarrassing moments? No. That's because you're the only one who's ever done something embarrassing. What the fuck is wrong with you lmao

Nintendo Switch Game Traveler 24 Game Card Super Mario Case is $6.49 on Best Buy DOTD buff.ly/QaYD4h0 #ad perfect for losing $1,440 Switch 1 games or $1,920 Switch 2 games in one go

It might be nothing (like a placeholder date), but Target has their Nintendo Switch 2 console preorders on the wishlist backend as going up on April 30th. April 30th is last day of the month, so it could mean nothing/placeholder. Just sharing what was discovered.

She has a name YOU MONSTERS! Pokemon Center Lady does not spark Joy. #pokemontcg

Same here, it’s all “stop using aliexpress and start using these way more Chinese sites to buy shoes and bags.”

Stuff like this is why consumers don't trust stuff anymore. Just say what it is or hold the announcement.

it's crazy how Limited ?Run Games' idealized purpose of "letting small games get a physical release they otherwise wouldn't be able to afford" barely lasted any time at all and now they've wholesale shifted to big stupid gimmick bundles for giant corporations too lazy to release their own stuff

Let me in, please 😂 🎥onlycutecats #cats

Looks like Koffing is spilling the tea to. Love it

I gotta admit I am now also morbidly excited for season 2 but for the same reasons I look forward to a David Cage production

I feel we get the angriest about things we love because we WANT it to do well with every fiber in our bones. See any of my #pokemon rants for proof. I'll go for HOURS about it. Right @sirielia.bsky.social ?

Last of Us keeps getting re-released mean while is Bloodborne fans don't get jack squat AND the talented individuals who do something with it get hit by Sony Lawyer Ninjas...

It's official: our members have overwhelmingly authorized a strike vote. We are united and prepared to do what it takes to fight for our first contract. We're done playing around with Microsoft.

Big day in the garage.

I know some people found Nintendo's new stuff for Switch 2 somewhat uncompelling, and the PS5 Pro didn't exactly set the world on fire, but I assure all of those things are barnstormers compared to the slop Microsoft is working on at Xbox

This really sums it up. For those who haven't watched it, the dialogue on the right isn't paraphrased, those are the lines.

I was hoping it was a bad mixed or the first few seconds of it in the trailers but oh boy....nope....

statement from Nintendo:

I’m left with a certain sinking feeling that says if the Nintendo delay picks up steam and points a lot of new fingers at Trump, the administration will vindictively start picking apart the whole industry under the guise of “video game violence is destroying the youth” or some such shit.

The Duskbloods is considered a PvPvE title, an online multiplayer focused game at its core. "this doesn’t mean that we as a company have decided to shift to a more multiplayer-focused direction with titles going forward." still intends to develop single player focused games like Elden Ring

Nintendo Switch 2 preorders in the U.S. will not start on April 9

I'm honestly more upset that they'll be asking a high price for the Nintendo games and having them in this awful, "Players Choice" packaging day one. Besides the giant red banner there's the ugly "this is actually a switch game plus a pack blah blah" text at the bottom and ANOTHER "Switch 2 edition"

Which the last game, Metroid Dread, I was Soo excited for I willingly bought the limited edition of it that basically included some nice artwork and a steelbook. I'll do the same for Prime 4 if possible.

I guess it doesn't effect me as bad because im kinda use to paying the Nintendo Tax. Plus, honestly, Besides Mario Kart (which I'm getting for 50$ due to console bundle), the 2 Zelda updates (which I get free from NSO and may hold out on BotW) only Metroid is going to be the pricey game.

I think a lot of people are misrepresenting the problem with the Switch 2 game prices. It's not that the games are 90$ it's that NINTENDO games are 90$. Nintendo games have always had a higher price, or tax, especially the big names (Mario, Zelda, etc) and hardly ever have meaningful sales.

Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition will be available on June 5th. SRP is $69.99/€69.99. The game will be distributed on a 64GB game card (containing the game and expansion, no download required), as well as via digital download from Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2.
