the one Opinion i'm going to put here is that if i only had american anime/game dubbing to go on, i would assume there were no english speakers with deep voices. best we can do is "kevin from burbank" and "kevin from burbank (growling)"

Thinking about this exchange today

A YouTube video for the Water Temple in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The comments section has an exchange as detailed below. “@TheMrdangles16 • 11y ago:
i hate the water temple... too confusing :(“ “@KeithHalsell • 2y ago:
it's been 9 years, i hope you are doing great in life now.” “@TheMrdangles16 • 2y ago: it couldn't be going worse Keith.”

Sonic the Hedgehog wearing the Mark 5 armor from Halo based on an old youtube/newgrounds fan project made by TheWax70 and painted eerily similar based on a concept art for Halo 2 made by Craig Mullins

I'm surprised this little gem rarely comes up in Mario spin-off conversation... I guess it was a pretty late release 🫤

[CMYK] Nintendo 64 box art for a nonexistent Mario spin-off titled 'MARIO HOCKEY'. It depicts Mario & friends on a hockey rink. Mario is about to shoot a goal, which Donkey Kong is guarding. Peach is following closely behind. In the background, Wario tackles Luigi.

[CMYK] Identical, but without formatting.

really tired of conversations about how we need to get people to spend more time offline that don't acknowledge that one of the reasons people ARE online is their access needs aren't being met in physical spaces. This is especially true for queer people and disabled people.

This story about Microsoft banning the word "microslop" from their official discord is mainly confusing me because Huh, there's an official Microsoft discord? I figured they'd be hosting that sort of thing on something they ran themselves. Microsoft Comic Chat or something

it’s not talked about enough that this kind of consolidation, paired with paramount’s promises to lower its debt, will lead to THOUSANDS of people losing their jobs. they are actively wiping out the creative class & what remains of middle class wealth in the process.

I think all analysis of Xbox falling off is incomplete without mentioning that the reason why they're downsizing there is bc Microsoft has by far bought the most into the idea that they'll be able to push a button to make AI make a Halo for them instantly

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

The way Valve has gamified gambling is still a big problem even if most other companies are doing the same in harsher ways. Valve is also the company that did it first, setting the blueprint for the others. I like Steam as much as the next guy, but they do have this coming.

Shigeru Miyamoto was very impressed by Banjo-Kazooie during its development, even expressing that it surpasses Super Mario 64 in some ways: "If Super Mario 64 is a makunouchi bento, then Banjo-Kazooie is a deluxe makunouchi bento."

"If Super Mario 64 is a makunouchi bento, then Banjo-Kazooie is a deluxe makunouchi bento."
-Shigeru Miyamoto, interview in the Famitsu magazine, Issue 490 (May 8, 1998)

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

A fabricated statement from Nintendo of America's Twitter account addressing a fictitious scenario in which the Earth's oxygen supply is presumed to be depleting at a rapid pace, leaving humanity with mere days to live.

"This is Miyamoto. On behalf of everyone who is employed at Nintendo Co. LTD and its subsidiaries, we deeply mourn the countless human lives which will be lost due to the depletion of the global oxygen supply. To anyone who has ever played one of our games, we are eternally grateful to have created long-lasting fun and memories for you. To ease the suffering of families and children across the world, the Mario Kart World game for the Nintendo Switch 2 system will be available as a free download on Nintendo eShop for the foreseeable future. We hope this small gesture of kindness will ease the pain as humanity prepares for a worst-case scenario."

The statement is distastefully plastered with logos for Nintendo and Nintendo Switch 2, as well as with a render of Mario from Mario Kart World.

A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement.

PlayStation Nation: "What the fuck are you doing falsely advertising sales during these trying times? I went to the website and Mario Kart World is still selling for $80 USD."

Kremling Kevin: "If you actually read the statement, it clearly says the discount is available on Nintendo eShop. Meaning the application on the Switch 2 itself, not the web browser version."

PlayStation Nation: "Point still stands."

A fabricated Tweet responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement.

Isaboner: "Nothing for Switch 1 owners?"

See why you never trust a corporation? Bullying discord is a public good, make sure to do it loudly, publicly, make their brand so rotten that they are even afraid of going public because their stocks would tank out of bad reputation.

"You don't get it bro Mewgenics was in development for like 20 years bro that's why CWC and nazis are VAs." Bored Ape redid the sprites for Stardew like 20 times, you can remove or change assets for your game after you make them.

In the wake of a massive confirmation that the tech industry’s run by deranged pedophiles, not a single tech platform should have the balls to start demanding ID and enacting invasive policies. Yet they continue. They’re the ones being outed as dangerous and we’re the ones being regulated.
