@lord3d.bsky.social told me to say "Bitte Gorr-schein" whenever I make a final kill. It somehow made me a useful DPS for once. #MarvelRivals #GorrTheGodButcher

Among some other neat edits, they also added this little change to the original GB to reflect that 🤣

I got all collab rewards for the #TeenageMutantNinja Turtles Festival in #SonicRacingCrossworlds I also got those from the #CrazyTaxi collab. Unfortunately I don't have a screenshot because I had to play through cloud gaming (Boosteroid). Unfortunately will have to do the same for #SambaDeAmigo

A speed car specifically designed for Handling characters since "Dark Future" was too hard to control at Super Sonic speed. I tried to go for a Bat Mobile that was designed for Rouge the Bat. I guess "M" stand for Mobile at the Banana M? #SonicRacingCrossworlds

Amy's Cavriolet is already pretty close to Breeze from Sonic Drift, but I still wanted to reflect the color scheme and design it to be driven by Rusty. Rusty's Breeze trades sentience for AI. Also: I hate how the Pac-Man Logo is forced... #SonicRacingCrossworlds

Dread gets a vehicle based on Knuckles very first car from #SonicDrift2, the Tempest - but with a pirate add-on. He basically gave me the mix idea because I didn't want to just give him Goro's car. #SonicRacingCrossworlds

Toyed around with some car designs in #SonicRacingCrossworlds The first is a car for Nine. Like all #SonicPrime characters, their cars are a mix of the original character's first car and adjustments to fit the Prime version. Nine's design is based on early Lotus Super Seven illustrations.

Shy Guy with a Bowtie 🎀 @bowtieshyguy.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Same here for the Buzzers. Also you want to eliminate the left one first because it takes 3 seconds to buzz off. #DonkeyKongBananza

Shy Guy with a Bowtie 🎀 @bowtieshyguy.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

This wasn't so hard. I think I actually cleared it just like this in my actual playthrough. The hardestvpart though is that you have to LOOK AT THE INSECT when it gets hit, or it survives. Which means you have to work against the guided camera. #DonkeyKongBananza

#Tetris99 currently offers all past #MaximusCup designs for two tickets each. I'm unfortunately fearing this sounds a lot like a soft announcement for an "end-of-service"... :/

@Nintendo on X, formerly known as Twitter, saying the following:

[Themes] The "Tetris® 99 Collaboration Theme Extravaganza" is now underway, offering a great deal on exchanging for collaboration themes. Enjoy *Tetris® 99* with backgrounds and music from a variety of different games.

Original message:

Had the luckiest solo-lobby ever: - 5 ships - 2 White sails, 1 Deluxe Edition Sail with matching skill - 4th guy tried to park, bait and board. Blundered himself on my boat, got demasted by me, the others tore him apart - Stole storage crates of two ships - Last guy 💥🔫 while repairing #SeaOfThieves

As expected, Rare is now giving out Doubloons for more events than the weekender: Take part in Last Sloop Standing next week and you get Doubloons for either getting into the top 3 or even more for winning a round. We don't know how much you get.

Since this wasn't clearly stated in the video: You will actually get Doubloons for 5 (non-stolen) crates now. This means you get 400 Doubloons more if you only do the limited Doubloon tasks.

@SeaOfThieves answered on X:

"The current plan is to increase the number of non-stolen crates you can cash in to five as well."
