Weird question here my gaming peeps,I need to know of a good way to replace some gaming cases and cover art. A handful of GameCube cases were damaged in storage but also i had a bunch of wii,switch,and ps4 games damaged by my late cat in her confused end of life state. #gaming #retrogaming #gamers

I don’t think its refreshing to see what has almost always been there in gaming(i don’t recall if there was any that predated Ms Pacman off the top of my head but that’s almost back to the beginning).I will however celebrate Fem MC’s becoming more common and accepted in gaming.

Sooooo 1st wrong: not having these performances in October or even the fall/harvest season is a fail. Second wrong: only having the concert take place in three highly expensive cities. This doesn’t seem like a celebration for fans,just a public circle jerk for the industry.

Alright all you #psychonauts fans, I finally broke down and grabbed a PSVR from marketplace with a used copy of Rhombus of Ruin thereby guaranteeing that Microsoft(still owners of the IP) will finally announce the release of a non-VR version of the game for the rest of you. You’re welcome.

Well i guess its my turn but as important as all 9 of these are i can think of at least 3 more which need to be on here. Since, the longer you are gaming the more opportunities there are for games that shape and define your tastes and who you are as a gamer. I’ll leave those 3 in the replies

This is an amazing beat em up and if i recsll features full cross play and cross save with both the ps3 and vita versions. Gorgeous visuals,great soundtrack,and fun gameplay. Puritans beware, the character designs do tend towards the highly sensual and suggestive. Everyone else enjoy!

Since mom started spending time here i’ve been catching up on some Netflix in my downtime. Watching things i started but never finished and a few things that were recommended of acclaimed but i never found time for. So far not bad but a bit of a mixed bag.

I’ve apparently become very influenceable in my old age. I was watching Mandalorian & Grogu the other night and spent a lot of the movie thibking man i need to go back to Outlaws. Then today i started watching Edgerunners and found myself itching to give Cyberpunk another go. Damn

One of these days i’ll get a group together and blast through all 6 trine games(including the latest 2 I’ve yet to get),but i can absolutely vouch for parchments and its simple but fun multiplayer spell slinging adventure

nshade666.bsky.social @nshade666.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Hooray, a non-emulation cost conscious way of playing these games. Though how cost conscious still remains to be seen i suppose(i think $30 would be a good sweet spot,but I’d begrudgingly even pay $40)

nshade666.bsky.social @nshade666.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I vaguely recall Three Houses being controversial for its vaguely Persona like elements and Engage was lauded for being rid of them for a more pure combat/gameplay approach. Now I’m seeing both being trashed by certain “influencers” and this one being mostly lauded

nshade666.bsky.social @nshade666.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

What in the God of War? I was about to point to control resonant as an example of a game with an MC switch that people were down with only to find that there are indeed a bunch of Dylan haters online.I mean haven’t seen quite the mess of terrible found with GoW Laufey, but its still disappointing AF

nshade666.bsky.social @nshade666.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Nice,but emphasis must be made on the fact publishers don’t discriminate between on cart & game keycard when they say physical release.So make sure to,respectfully,let them know that when we say physical we dont mean GKC’s.I hope even GKC buyers will support this even though they see either as a win

What's an obscure video game you remember playing at one point that most people would be like "never heard of it"? Mail Order Monsters A decade before gamefreak’s pokemon,EA had this fun little ARPG in which you purchased a monster outfitted him with powers and battled in CvP and PvP matches.

nshade666.bsky.social @nshade666.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Does anyone else ever go to your friends list on your switch and just look through the recently played games? Often its same old same old popular games but every now and then you have some mavericks with either demos or obscure games you never heard of to pique your curiosity.

Playing Ninja Gaiden Ragebound on hard mode and my wife walks by. @nepitandi.bsky.social : huh,i don’t remember there being this many spikes when you played before are they new? Me:[nods affirmation] Her: Oh how considerate, the demon horde went out of their way to redecorate for you😁. Me:🤦🏻‍♂️

nshade666.bsky.social @nshade666.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Ninja Gaiden Ragebound,wow that was crazy good. Wait,what’s this? A hard mode that doesn’t just scale damage received,but remixes the levels with more traps/hazards,new enemy variants,and boss behaviors! This may be one of the first times I chose to play a 2nd run on hard mode for fun.

I don’t know what i was expecting from Ragebound,I just knew it was part of a well regarded series I’ve barrely touched since SNES(the trilogy rerelease)and was made by the makers of The Last Door& Blasphemous. What it has turned out to be so far is a damn amazing action platformer with stunning art

001

nshade666.bsky.social @nshade666.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

I tried to wrap my brain around people calling the recent (non-zelda) direct weak or terrible and I can only surmise that they simply hate games.

000

nshade666.bsky.social @nshade666.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

One of the most frustrating things about going through the smorgasbord of demo’s I’ve downloaded on my switch is how many of them(many of which i never heard of before) are fun enough to go on my wishlist instead of my not for me list.

000

nshade666.bsky.social @nshade666.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I would like to point out that i am not trash talking these games either. that initial statement was more pointing out that,contrary to the modern day welling up of nostalgia for it, the n64 was a flop back then,and these were the games that sustained those of us who actually owned one.

000

nshade666.bsky.social @nshade666.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Big N’s out here on a remake the N64 glory days that never were kick. i’m not sure that leaves them many more games they can do this with.Though i wouldn’t object to seeing F-zero X, or the OG paper mario get a gliw ip Like this,maybe Yoshi and kirby 64 if they feel like it.

Also no to be too critical but doesn’t the revealed remake bear a very close resemblance to all of the old OoT in unreal demos that were making the rounds a few years ago?

nshade666.bsky.social @nshade666.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

I mostly have list interest in collecting amiibo for the longest time,but some of the sculpts for the more recent ones have me interested in picking them up as budget display pieces.

000

nshade666.bsky.social @nshade666.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Possibly the most bare bones direct possible. Pretty much what i expected,but still dissatisfied. Instead of touting it as a 40th anniversary direct they should have just labeled it as an Ocarina of Time direct.Yes,other things were teased but thats been done for other labeled game specific directs.

000

nshade666.bsky.social @nshade666.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Sounds like movie,toys/tie-ins,legos, and the remake might be what this direct covers. Cool,but if that’s all, I can’t help but say i’ll probably be disappointed. How much so depends on how cool it all looks. Fingers crossed i’m wrong and we see a couple more games announced as well.

To refer back to my prior post about kids who grew up on genesis not being as impacted/ noticing the lack of manuals in Genesis Classics in this thread,I went and looked at NSO and was horrified to see this applies to me as an SNES kid. Don’t be lazy include a readable pdf for Bushnell/Baer’s sake!!

Such a variety of games with a plethora of styles control setups and numerous tricks and functions without a single shred of info on how to do any of it for those who haven’t had the privilege of learning them inside and out back when they first released.

No Nintendo a controller diagram is not a replacement for a game manual!!!! I didn’t accept it when gaming rental stores did it and i don’t accept when you do it.

Felt a bit retro and decided to boot up Sega Genesis Classics for more than a passing look. First off I discovered i am absolute shit at some of these games and found myself abusing the rewind feature. Secondly I found that complaints of input lag were very real and very frustrating to adjust to…

PSA check to see if the Amazon deal on $10 cards is still active first. You can get the same amount for $1 less

nshade666.bsky.social @nshade666.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

And yet the fact that it will impact new purchases says that the plan is to eventually rip that rug out from under grandfathered in plans eventually. So if you’re sticking with them enjoy the ride for now,because sooner not later its going to turn to shit for you too.

To boost off of this: GOG > STEAM for buying digital games - Permanent ownership w/ standalone offline installers - You OWN the .exe and can back it up on HDDs, discs, etc. - Can download even if the publisher shuts down or removes the game from the store - Games aren't tied to your profile

Re-playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 with my son on superior difficulty and i remember how fun the game can be. However, I am also reminded how grindy it can be getting unlocks and doing side content. I think the sameness of much of the roster and grindy elements are the real things holding it back

Here i was thinking, if Sony is going to screw over people through digital won’t people stop renting digital games off their store and just stick to whats available on the subscriptions? How could they further enshitify it to deter this behavior.Thankfully Microsoft came along to demonstrate
