Watching Politico get told they're sanewashing shit by the guy they're sanewashing is just excellent. Media cooked. Getting dunked on by the people they're protecting. We are in the post-dignity era of the press.

Windows Big Picture mode (complimentary)

That's why the next game was subtitled Super Brothers 4: The Retroactive Continuity Chronicles

Um actually, he didn't have a raccoon tail until Super Brothers 3.

I can't find it today, but I once played a jam-winning infinite runner game starring a cowboy on a horse. As you progress, you hit stuff and the guy falls off but the horse continues. You realize you are the horse, not the guy. You can collect new guys to act as extra lives and powerups.

I mostly watch twitch, so video games are actually Theater.

Beautiful πŸ₯²
Where can I get one?

I betcha that looks better with cel shading :)

Part of it is just that graphics tech is a lot easier to compare than design and style. This resolution number is lower, this industry standard feature is missing. That's a lot easier to point out and rally against than Art.

Yeah, gameplay trumps graphics. But also, it's a company making a billion dollars a year iterating on the same game over and over. For any franchise in a similar position, the graphical polish level has gotten very high.

My bet is on this guy's evo being the most Digimon-ass PokΓ©mon you'll ever see.

Most extreme example for me was struggling with the Metroid Prime Pinball boss for a solid week then quitting it for a month and coming back to beat it first try. I think the break lets your brain break bad habits. Lets your logic brain take over where the desire/frustration loop was drowning it out

That's ridiculous! The metric would be the y axis.

Deadpool beats up Kung Fu Panda while Sub-Zero cheers him on. They're all in ice skates.

Nothing like watching the top performances of the Olympics.

After their early experiences, this character went multi-gender so they could get access to extra bonus actions.

These are always my favorites.

Also, I definitely read it too fast as "No Sleep for Katamari Damacy"

The island is sinking though and you gotta use various mysterious mechanisms to stop it. These eventually reveal the island to be a giant moving vessel, capable of navigating between continents. The continents are also sinking and boy are you not gonna believe what this planet is capable of doing.

I think the Anno series gives it a run for its money on that one.

Not too surprising. We've got some cool neighbors though.

I've been saying. It would be an instant buy from me.

There's a direct line between this crap and ICE actions. Media and politicians need to show that connection.

I love me some Yugioh Monopoly, but who's asking for the first one again? The games have been iterative enough that going back doesn't make sense

Heya @prokopetz.bsky.social would you happen to know where the idea of a magical bard as a class of hero in contemporary fantasy originates from? I can't name a source older than DnD, but just about everything in DnD draws a straight line to something else that I'm typically familiar with.

It's mostly PC ports, but the Epic game store and stuff released by Netflix are still pretty good for this.

This is self-parody. Wow.

Listen, we don't need to try to solve my relationship problems out here in public.

I know that the types were originally planned to be about what environment the PokΓ©mon came from, like grassland, desert, etc. "Grass" might be a holdover from that.
