characters from Granado Espada

Monster Hunter Tri

whatever you call this art style - PS2 era medium-poly characters with hand-made highly detailed but also somewhat blurry textures with baked-in lighting - I absolutely love it and it makes me want to drop everything and make games

A windows dialog: the window title reads “Bunny” and the contents is a yellow triangle with a black exclamation mark with an image of a grey small bunny next to it. The available buttons below are “Ok” and “Exit”

I'm so happy for her

(Beartato and Reginald, in a museum, gaze upon the Mona Lisa) BEARTATO: There it is. The Mona Lisa. The most famous painting in history. REGINALD: Wow! What's it do? BEARTATO: It... what? REGINALD: Why's it famous? What's it do? (Beartato thinks.) BEARTATO: I don't know. REGINALD (to nearly museum employee): Excuse me! Sir? What's it do? EMPLOYEE: You're the first person to ask! Watch this! (The employee yanks a pull-string. Mona Lisa's eyes spin around and her mouth opens like a puppet) MONA LISA: Honk honk! Honk honk! (Everyone is delighted. This is true art.)

Love Live! School idol festival 2, the game that quite infamously announced both its release AND ending date at the same time, outlived Highguard and Concord at four months

A minor league hockey team had a wiener dog race. Zero thoughts, just vibes and absolute chaos. A thing of beauty

An infographic with a dark green background. At the top, large stylized text reads “YOU DON’T KNOW GAMING.” In the center is a picture of a Game Boy Advance, notably, with the screen black. Below the picture, white pixelated text reads: “If you beat Metroid Fusion in under 3 hours without any batteries in your Game Boy Advance, you get to see an exclusive ending screen as shown above." At the bottom is the text “YOUDONTKNOWGAMING.BSKY.SOCIAL.”

Steam community: “Can we play as a male character?”

Me (indie dev in this economy):
“Best I can do is sentient tofu.”

This bit in the From Russia With Love game made me laugh out loud. You've got a fairly grounded, low key fight based on the one in the movie, then the most video game looking fucker of all time slides into frame.

Like.
