The Nintendo Today app baffles me. It's cute but it's so simplified that it's like

Cute animation

Here's the news today: 4 photos of baby daisy.

That's it enjoy your day!

I can't even do my "Here's the news today: 4 photos of baby daisy. That's it enjoy your day!" joke. They're literally just doing it as a posh feature now.

I've not played Pokopia yet but you can't tell me it doesn't fit when it's opening is pokemon as a whole don't understand how to take care of themselves anymore and are dependent on a Ditto LARPing as a human

DQB1 toys with the whole fake "but thou must!" choice thing and a rather heady "what if people literally could not learn?"

2 has quite a lot on memory, morality in relation to religion & ethics and the concept of what even "building" means.

It's interesting how every game made by the Dragon Quest Builders team (this includes Pokopia) includes some sort of narrative on societal helplessness, will, memory, and like "making things"

-CASTLEVANIA FANS GO FUCKING NUTS partly because Sonia's been subjected to SO much misogyny over the years and we wanted better for her
-Sony proceeds to EDIT THE ARTICLE TO REMOVE HER NAME and change it to "Trevor Belmont's successor," so her identity becomes fully relative to a man lol???

Ok I need to explain this situation for non-CV fans
-Sony releases International Women's Day listicle featuring female characters from Playstation games
-Includes the protagonist of the new Castlevania game, naming her as Sonia Belmont, the long-retconned only lady Belmont in existence (1/2)

*weakly*
The reason people are annoyed at your VN isn't because they can't read or have no patience it's that you plotted a 30 minute scene to 36 seconds of improperly looping audio

Retro Gaming Tutorial Series - Creating Your First Level for Unreal Tournament 2004 - YouTube Welcome to my series of retro gaming tutorials exploring how to create your first level for Unreal Tournament 2004! Follow along and build your own level wit...

Two new tutorial videos for your Monday! This time around I'll be walking you through the process of creating a complex static mesh out of BSPs, and using it as an elevator by converting it into a 'mover' actor. Then we'll set it up to work with bots and watch the chaos!

Dragon’s Lair – β€œDirk, who knew no fear” When Zzap! 64 interviewed Chris Butler about making Ghosts’n Goblins, the interviewer reacted strongly to the game Butler said he’d be working on next. β€œSpace Harrier! You’re joking?! [&#8230…

Even among 1986's ambitious arcade conversions, Dragon's Lair was baffling. How did anyone look at its laserdisc-powered lushness and think "this would work perfectly on C64"?

It turns out, no one did.

New post on how it happened, and proved a success, anyway:

Oh wow, somebody with a blue checkmark said something stupid and inflammatory? On a website? Really? What a funny thing that has never happened before.
Thanks for screenshotting it with your cellular phone and posting it with no alt text. Golly what would we do without you?

They're definitely slightly retooled to match the anime tastes of the era as in "big head, dainty, waifish body". Not enough for me to hate it but enough to make me aware.

I like how every company now is trying to insist on npcs in games being a glorified chatbot is a great revolutionary idea even though we had an entire game based around that in 2005 and realized that while it was interesting it was also kinda a mess

I just think that no, I deserve that and if anybody should get to kill me it's the friend that looks like the monster version of me.

There is nothing that makes me want to never check out your open source project more than giving it an ugly Genai logo in that edgy "sports team logo" style.
