Every time I start playing Pokopia, I only stop playing when the Switch 2 battery hits like 3%.

The Donkey Kong Family Tree Explained - Feature

For Mario Day I've released an insane Feature on @nintendonwr.bsky.social!

Feature: The Donkey Kong Family Tree Explained!

Lots of research went into this and Mario plays an important role in figuring out the ages of the Kongs.

Please share, enjoy, and try not to go bananas while reading.

I've worked on games where 10,000 concurrents was more than imaginable, others where 10,000 had the publisher on suicide watch.

Plainly, it's very stupid to publish articles about this if there's no insight about what it actually, literally means in context. Otherwise you're just posting a number

Me and my Pokemon Ruby strategy guide in 2003

How’d you do it? I’ve tried a straight recipe but for the last 5-6 years I just do the Golden Curry medium with a pat of butter, shot of sriracha, and bit of honey

I was a doubter but the new Pokémon’s graphics look photorealistic.

I was on an 11 and bought a 16e this week. With a trade in it was like 400, meh.

Not enough#

Hey, so we got a trojan horse

Metacritic has sent a reminder email to all games site editors/publishers which is pretty strong, and great:

Not available in enough places where I am. My go to middle school snack was Orangina and BBQ Fritos. Still would be if I had my way.

The whole crew's here to talk Diablo 2, Nioh 3 and Gimmick 2!

I preordered the board book!!!

That Hello Mario app on Switch is actually kind of crazy as a tool to teach interactivity to a toddler.

Introduced my 2 year old to Fritos and Super Mario this weekend and I feel like Robert Oppenheimer

It also has tons of build variety and freedom in how you approach its challenge (think Elden Ring almost), while having a difficulty maybe two notches below Nioh 2 (so far).

Nioh 3 has the juice, moreso than any of these Team Ninja games have before. Replaces the linear levels with Arceus-style mini open worlds littered with activities. The combo of brain itch Nioh combat with “ooh what’s that” level design has proven dangerous for my free time.

“Who is generally considered to be unreliable but”

Considered taking some scissors to the first few pages of that Ellison compilation from a year or two ago

I don’t know why Little Guy Crawlin Around is the name I internally decided on for “amusement park open world games that feel like *that*” but I probably latched on to BOTW and Link sticking to the side of a mountain, crawling around.

Popular examples are Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Elden Ring, and Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Anyway, I bring up this insane thought of mine because Nioh 3 is very clearly another one of these and I really love what I’ve played of the demo so far.

There’s a video game genre name I came up with which is only useful to me, but it’s called “Little Guy Crawlin Around.” I use it to describe open world action games where you just bop around from thing to thing going “ooo what’s that!” like a playground.

I generally agree with you but is Steam Deck below Switch 2 power-wise? I feel like I’ve ran stuff like Sekiro and Doom Eternal at 50-60fps (respectively) + good fidelity and Im not convinced Switch 2 would handle those games as well.

Having a toddler and not keeping separate streaming profiles means Disney+ will just attempt to make recommendations based on Bluey and Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans.

Wasn’t EA shutting this one down?

I need that Zojirushi recipe pls.

Pushmo is a very well received, popular game and I still think it’s underrated.

When you give an AI model a prompt and it generates a song, it’s not your creative expression that made it. It spits out options and you go “that’s fine I guess.”

You’re deferring your vision to an expensive math equation. If you don’t believe in your idea enough to do it yourself, why should I?

I find that the tedious, “worky” parts of the creative process are the moments I get a little better. It’s taking a granular look at your embarrassing first draft and refining it where I believe your voice begins to form.

Giving that to an LLM prompt insulates you from ever pushing your own limits.
