IIRC, the guy in this clip is the same dude who did the short narration for Super Metroid, right?

At least it's not one of the more despicable 4C offshoots. Not that that's really saying much, but still.

To those inappropriately and alarming hyped for the newly revealed Metroid title:
Top Panel: The grouchy, unhelpful, unsympathetic and outright mean bus driver from The Simpsons episode "Lost Our Lisa" (Season 9, Episode 24) – scoffingly saying, "Don't make me tap the sign."

Bottom Panel: An edit of a frame/stillshot from said Simpson episode of said bus driver pointing at/tapping a sign that (usually) reads "DO NOT TALK TO DRIVER" – the sign edited to instead display an article detailing the abusive and hostile working conditions of MercurySteam, from the site "Game Developer" (formerly known as Gamasutra), during the production of that company and Nintendo's Metroid Dread:

I'd actually say the Panzer Dragoon remakes look better than the OoT remake, tbqh

Seal Lowen (SomethingOther) @lowenseal.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
It's very ironic how even the FFVII Remake trilogy feels closer to the art direction of the original game than this remake does compared to its source

Seal Lowen (SomethingOther) @lowenseal.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Oh my god... I'm sorry, but the art design and graphic fidelity of this OoT remake is... it's giving me "Hire This Man" and "default Unreal Engine settings and stock assets" vibes

I found out something public about someone [who (used to) be on Bluesky] being a dipshit, so I try to go and find the Bluesky handle said dipshit uses to block them, only to find out they deactivated of their own volition and are now residing permanently in Ecks. What Do I Even Fucking Say, Folks.

The VA for Sonic was a SEGA of Japan employee (specifically Masato "Mazin" Nishimura; source: tinyurl.com/msj2xksk ), so it's more than likely one and/or three

I came across this US commercial for the original SNES version of Super Mario RPG, and... given that American video game marketing focused a little too much on having 'Tude and/or being weird, I'm not sure this would've really sold people on the game. @geekcritique.org youtu.be/PXA6IE2tUC0

I thought this Bluesky debate over "y'all" was gonna be about whether or not using it when non-Black constitutes as Digital Blackface (despite the fact that it was first common slang in southern and predominately-White US states). Turns out the actual "debate" on "y'all" is 1000% stupider than that

Fuck, why not even use AIBO or QRIO as your company mascot? (I know Toro Inoue exists, and is rather popular in Japan (to the point where he's unofficially called the "Sony Cat"), but... I'm not sure how much staying power he'd really have)
A picture of Sony's AIBO robot dog (right), next to Sony's unreleased/cancelled QRIO robot (left), who both seem to be waving/cheering at an unseen crowd in front of them.

Frankly, as much as I'm not fucking happy with Sony as a corporation at the moment, the question has to be asked: Why not just use Astro Bot as your damn "kawaii" company mascot? Sony's *entire thing* is electronics, so why not just lean on that?
Astro Bot, from Sony's titular Astro Bot series of PlayStation games – a sleek, white and blue chibi robot with a rounded LED screen for a face, showing only blue dots for eyes.

Might I suggest a version of 2 with the smaller black outline of 1, and the blurred trans flag colors being part of the very outer outline as well?

There are *far* too fucking many proponents of difficult, arcade-style game design who are the complete embodiment of this post:
A tweet from That Other Site (Twitter/Ecks), the name of the original author (who was originally quote responding to another tweet) redacted, which reads: "when someone has the exact same opinion as you but they express it in such an annoying and obnoxious way that you lowkey don't want to agree"

The text is then followed by a screenstill from the live action TV adaptation of The Boys (2019) of the main antagonist, Homelander, looking uncomfortably and unamused at another person that's barely in frame; the screenstill obviously being used as a reaction image.

Hey so this new KOSA/KIDS Act proposal has a little note in it that creates a whole new special Trump-appointed team to regulate the internet. So no more Congress votes. No more checks & balances. Just whoever the president picks to decide the future of YOUR internet. You aren’t mad enough.

Sorry about this, but if you have a scanner (and still have the game of course), would you mind scanning that Digital Pictures brochure (the "Try another new title" one)? I kinda wanna see the contents of it is all.

I cannot emphasize the degree to which a data center next to a zoo is a massive endless Endangered Species Act violation. If this happens it /will/ be the end of the facility. Air quality issues kill birds. Constant loud noise destroys animal welfare. Both decimate visitorship. The zoo will close.
