@midimyers.com great article on attachment with characters and story. I finally got around to playing Life is Strange and loved it and I’m kind of stuck on it as well so instead of playing Fortunes weave I’m playing Double Exposure because I still want to know what happens to them after the game.

today i wrote our Dear Mother advice column in response to someone struggling with their attachment to characters in a game. this happens to me all the time <3 free to read with your email address!

How do you get over your attachment to characters when a game ends?

AVGN plays one of the unfortunately not so great GameCube games. There were definitely better Batman games on the GameCube

This would be amazing if we got it. Wish I could help with the project if it happens @nightdivestudios.bsky.social I covered it in both books and interviewed for it. I would also love to see the N64 version that was almost complete put on as a bonus feature if it could be dug out of the Nintendo

September 10th is globally significant as World Suicide Prevention Day, an annual observance organized by the International Association for Suicide Prevention and endorsed by the WHO to promote global awareness and action to prevent suicide. Reach out, listen, and seek help 😔
An infographic banner for World Suicide Prevention Day, which is observed on September 10.
The banner features a dark, star-filled space background. In the upper half, a highly detailed image of the planet Earth is displayed, showing continents like Africa and South America amidst swirling white clouds. Layered partially over the right side of the Earth is a large, glossy yellow awareness ribbon.
The text on the graphic is styled in clean, white sans-serif fonts of varying sizes:
At the top, the date "SEPTEMBER 10" is written in a smaller font size.
Directly below it, the main title "WORLD SUICIDE PREVENTION DAY" is prominently displayed in large, bold, capitalized letters.
Beneath the title, a sub-headline reads: "Think you know someone who is struggling? Let them know they're not alone."
At the bottom left, a numbered list outlines three actionable steps:REACH OUT
LISTEN
SEEK HELP

Been playing for about an hour and great game so far, instantly one of the best looking games on the GBC. Controls are good and only having 2 buttons doesn’t compromise anything from a standard Metroidvania. Only negatives so far is a couple of glitches but nothing game breaking.

Wahoo my HVAC system needs to be replaced, it’s of course a commercial unit they put into my house for some reason so now it’s going to cost a fortune to replace. Getting quotes next week so probably be posting and selling some of my collection. First up will probably be my CD-I and two Zelda games.

Finaly beat Last Remnant. Deep battle system, Saga type leveling system with an okay story. Very uneven difficulty though that seems to force you to have to grind a lot.

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.

Tried the Apollo Peper last dab hot sauce, definitely a slow burn but really not as hot as I was expecting. The medium we got from them Los Calientes Rojo wasn’t very hot but I really liked the flavor.

'Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door' released 22 years ago for Nintendo GameCube I love Super Mario RPG, and Paper Mario really fits as a spiritual successor to it. This one is often considered the best overall—It's a GREAT game! Do you agree it's the BEST Paper Mario? If not, what's your pick?

Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg was originally just going to be called Giant Egg
SEGA-16 has published a very informative interview with former SEGA executive Mike Fischer, who worked with the Japanese company for years. During the interview he also touched on the cult GameCube game Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg. Fischer reveals that it was originally just going to be titled Giant Egg before the team were sensibly told to rename it to Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg. Fischer also spoke about Blinx: The Time Sweeper which was developed for the original Xbox system.
