I can't remember if it was @marioprime.bsky.social or @theswweet.myatproto.social that put me onto Puffies but it's great, chill downtime game.

As someone who has written for Lost In Cult multiple times, I'm very happy to see this. They're going to take a hit here; it’s also the right (and only) thing to do.

In other news, I'm back from paternity leave. I largely haven't existed on the internet or even anywhere in the real world outside of my home for two months and doing nothing but spending time with my wife and kid for so long really put into perspective how much other shit just does not matter.

The chintzy-looking M64 clone console of the N64 by a company named ModRetro has been released, I think, I don't pay attention that closely to shit. But as the great @frankcifaldi.bsky.social posted before, it is our civic duty to push back against this company and shun ANYONE who doesn't.

No other word has done more damage to the craft of writing in recent years than “content”. Even if you’re using the word “content” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing “content” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. “Content” is Technosatan’s henchword.

You wouldn't happen to also have images backed up from Fumihide Aoki's Instagram account from before he went private, would you? He posted the original Wapeach concept artwork as well as a ton of concept artwork from Golden Sun and Shining Force before going private. Handle was yuzumpo.

I think I would have liked it more had I not known it was a VR title previously. Especially at first I felt like I could see the VR bones and it was a little jarring.

Hey, let's talk about money and @skyboxcritics.com again. Last month, we hit $250 a month! Yay! This month, we're below that again. I'm not shaming anyone; times are hard. But the reality is Skybox operates at a loss that I make up personally, and that's becoming more and more unsustainable. 1/X

Yep, this is where I'm at now too. I buy a few games a year, mostly on sale. If I don't get a code for work I probably just don't play it, no matter how badly I want to

The most infuriating thing about games journalism is it often (not always) reports the company line. "Microsoft says it has to do this meet challenging market conditions." It is a trillion-dollar company! It doesn't have to do anything! Microsoft is *choosing* to ruin peoples' lives! Call it on it!

I really love that the usual "good v evil" is flipped on it's head in this episode because the villain is arguing that man is good yet uses the most cartoonishly evil last-ditch trick to prove his point. It's another layer that says a lot about what people will do to look like the "good guy"

Pour one out for the shitty 24-inch Vizio smart TV I bought in college, the first TV I ever bought myself, that served a variety of purposes in a life almost as long as my relationship with my wife. A TV, then a computer monitor, then a security system monitor, back to a TV, and back to a monitor.

if you’re upset about Microsoft’s potential studio closures but you uncritically discussed SGF, the fan event, have interviewed an executive, or have broken BDS for any reason whatsoever, please kindly nut up or shut up. if you think this sucks, do something about it in your work, not your posts.
