It’s nice to see the TE position more heavily used in the pass and run games can’t wait for the rebirth of the FB position. So few teams utilize it well.

To paraphrase the quote (yes I know it’s not the exact quote) “Those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it,” since he doesn’t know the wars he is recreating it in his own way. I worry for my sons future.

@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?

"The game coming to an end almost feels like grief. There is an emptiness and sense of loss that I don't know how to fill..."

Well that was a choice, it definitely sticks with you (no pun intended) but it will divide people but definitely attract the kids

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

That was one of the most under utilized features of the original GameCube… and of course the modem

I was going to preorder but $38 for shipping for the standard edition no thanks I’m good.

Archives. Would also lover to see new sanity effects to modernize it as not all I think translate well for new TVs.

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

Today marks 25 years since the launch of Nintendo GameCube, a console that provided one of the company's most joyous eras of console gaming — even if it felt underappreciated at the time. bit.ly/4h0ICYp

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

Watching it on Tv these calls are BS and the no illegal contact earlier was also BS

Yeah it sucks, seeing friends die early for various reasons and family members getting older and frail or pass away. It sucks, one of my wife’s favorite sayings is “you never know what tomorrow brings” her way of telling me enjoy the time you have cuz you never know when it will be the last.

Travis @projectdolphin.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Finally! Go play it. I covered it in my second book with interviews with Kev Bayliss and @therealkrystlfox.bsky.social very underappreciated and underrated game!

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.

Mine was close said Montana but only a couple percent off from Seattle which would have been correct

Loved the console design but hated the controller design. Only console I used a 3rd party controller as my primary on.

I went through an emulation phase in HS (you and I are about the same age) so I could play Japanese games with fan translations and sneak some games into school when I was supposed to be doing programming, I’d alt-tab between them. Also had no money for new N64 and Dreamcast games at the time

I hope they change that and make it so you can buy what you want. The checkout process is rather scummy though. “Click here and you can buy all of them for $330 instead of the one game you wanted. No don’t want that okay click here and you can get a discount on this game as well.” I swear it was..
