the crazy thing about this trend is how badly this exposes that these people have the same attachment and awareness of video games as scalpers do for pokemon

Y’all, I loved Pony Island years ago. It’s free right now thru Oct 12. You have zero reason not to go get this weird game that was doing weird deconstrutivist indie desktop mystery horror before it was cool #gamedev store.steampowered.com/app/405640
store.steampowered.com
Save 100% on Pony Island on Steam
Pony Island is a suspense puzzle game in disguise. You are in limbo, trapped in a malevolent and malfunctioning arcade machine devised by the devil himself. It is not a game about ponies.

Truly love to see that agg23 is a real one. They explain so eloquently how much of our time is wasted by people who have no idea what they're doing, thinking they're helping by throwing generated rubbish over the fence at people who have to actually deal with it.

The time when I was playing at a friend's house who lived rural and the screen went blank. I told him it was just the game, one of its crazy sanity effects - but it didn't come back after a few seconds so I was stuck in the dark in a weird house because the power had gone out in real life 🫣

today marks a whopper of an anniversary as we released the very first episode of Retronauts on October 4, 2006. Twenty years of podcasts! Thank you for listening for two entire decades. What's your favorite episode or Retronauts memory?

I just finished Onimusha Warlords then started Final Fantasy X and it's got me thinking the most stale, millennial-brained take of all time but I'll say it anyway. PS2 era games rip.

Popcast interviewed Jeff Probst about the history of Survivor. Jon Caramanica and Joe Coscarelli have some of the most interesting cultural discussions in the business, and having them chat with an open and honest Probst makes for a really insightful listen if you're a fan of the show.

ok thank you jun takeuchi
“‘Requiem’ isn’t just a title chosen for its meaning of ‘requiem,'” said Takeuchi via GamesRadar. “The spelling of Requiem (REQUIEM) contains not only the ‘RE (response)’ … but also a ‘Q (question).’ In other words, this ‘Requiem’ presents both an ‘answer’ and a ‘question.’ I will explain the meaning of that at some point in the future.”

I had close to the perfect situation for this game. My brother and I both had GBAs and loved co-op games. The hardest part was finding two GBA-GC link cables in regional Australian department stores.

Started Final Fantasy X last night. I remember getting quite far in it on PS2 but never quite getting to the end because I basically couldn't focus on anything back than. Immediately hit with this screen saying "remember when a game of monstrous scope could go from concept to reality in 3 years?"

Been thinking about the "Sega almost stopped making Sonic games" news and have mostly landed on this - Maybe it would actually be a good thing if more companies were prepared to put franchises on ice if they don't know of anything interesting to do with them.

So, so glad this is in Indigo now. Labellers are one of Bluesky's best features and I sorely missed the context like "this person hasn't stopped posting for more than 4 hours in the last month" that can help flag whether I take an account seriously.

My opinion on the disc to digital stuff that Xbox are doing is that it is generally a positive thing but I mostly just hope it means I can play the copy of Rare Replay I have that won't install normally.

I really hope one day someone manages to break open the Xbox Series consoles so I can install SteamOS or something on there. It's a crazy powerful box that I'd love to play my Steam library on (and also pricing up a PC for the lounge room is terrifying).

Here's a bit of news you won't find at Gamescom: after 20 years, you can play Blue Dragon without an Xbox. A fanmade PC port arrives Friday, I've been playing it, and it's great:
pcgamer.com
Blue Dragon is finally free from the Xbox 360: a fantastic PC port unlocks the FPS, goes 4K, and more
This Xbox 360 recompilation proves how good fan ports can be when they aren't vibe-coded.

I really hope that iOS 27 fixes the Files app. Every time I try to copy a bunch of files from network or cloud storage to the phone it shits itself. That's got to be one of the most basic things you can want a file management app to do, and yet.

Not to discourse but honestly, they're right. Not really for the "sounding old" part but idk I'm kind of over having the act of looking for things on the internet be synonymous with a company that sucks and has been dismantling most good things about the internet for a decade.

Nice to hear John talking about the tone issues I had with Anniversary, and it's comforting to see that the new studio seem to understand how to maintain the visual tone of the original even while modernising it.

I'm so glad my LG TV is old enough that the company doesn't bother with this shit. It had ads from factory but was easy enough to turn off. Between this and the whole "installing adware when you plug a monitor into a Windows PC" thing, LG is basically off the list for me now.
