Listen, all I’m saying is that it would be deeply funny if America dot gov was directly tied into our military and intelligence infrastructure. What could go wrong?

The big gaming companies really need to bring back “Greatest Hits”/“Players Choice” price point games. ESPECIALLY Nintendo. It’s absurd that a 5+ year old title still asks 60+

It wasn't N64 Exclusive, but Megaman 64 (Megaman Legends) is one of my favorite games of all time and one of my favorite iterations on the character.

They either try to do their own thing, which tends to be generic, or hew close to the original formula, but tweak it such that they feel they can differentiate, without realizing their tweaks were never included in what they’re copying.

On top of all that, I’ve been playing a lot of monster battler games recently, and absolutely none of them know what makes Pokemon work. Neither why it worked in 96/98, nor now.

I’m immediately important, everything is immediately like “the most amazing thing ever”, I get given what I guess is supposed to be some special award I’ve never heard of but my character has. Zero backstory. Zero reason to actually care.

Can someone explain to me why Aniimo is popular? Is it just because it’s free? I “played” for about a little over an hour and all I could think of was how much I wanted to turn it off. I’m introduced to this big sprawling world in a manner in which I guess I should already know about it?

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

The great irony is these are the same people who decry “politics” in pop culture media and then have to hide in plain sight like a goddamn sleeper agent because of their toxic and abhorrent worldview.

All I want, ALL I WANT, is a Pokémon Crystal ROM Hack that changes ABSOLUTELY NOTHING except I can complete the Pokédex. Why is this not a thing? I WANT the jank. I want the original limitations. Just one or two small tweaks here or there to get trade evolutions. But otherwise no other changes

I was excited originally for The Adventures of Elliot. Then I forgot about it. Now I’ve been reminded of it. Ain’t no way this game is 60 bucks though. SE outta their minds thinking HD2D is full AAA priced. I can wait. $30 at most.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Magic’s Strixhaven is a great setting and it’s underserved by being trapped in ephemeral card sets with short tails every couple of years. I need more Quandrix and Zimone in my life.

RIP Halo 2001-2026, I guess. Maybe I'll be wrong? I don't want the same year-over-year churn for that franchise that CoD has devolved into. We don't need another "Madden of shooters".

There was the time before Star Wars The Acolyte retconned Ki-Adi Mundi’s birthday from a Topp’s trading card, and the dystopia we’ve found ourselves in ever since. We literally didn’t know what we had until it was unceremoniously ripped from our hands. Life has literally never been the same.
