goodbyeguard 😔

This post triggered a memory of an inverse experience I had, where I congratulated myself for a really bad joke but my friends didn't pick up on the sarcasm and sincerely agreed with me. One of the most traumatic moments of my life

I was ready to write off Pokopia/wait for a sale but I caved after reviews hit and now I'm 40 hours deep 🤡

Happy #mar10 Day!

The Super Mario Galaxy And 2-USA And World And Yoshi's Island And Odyssey And Wonder Movie

even the studio name is a bootleg

Pokopia got me like

see that mountain? you can exploratory climbing there

Pokémon Pokopia screenshot of a text log (1/3) that reads: "We all know that everyone's beloved music streaming services are being forced to shut down one by one due to the steep rise of server fees all over the world. While music lovers are still mourning the loss of these streaming services, it isn't all bad news in the world of music! It's our pleasure to share a little about a technological blast from the past-compact discs (CDs)!

I'm not a Game Key Card crusader but I can't help but appreciate the irony of a digital-only game (Pokopia) singing the praises of physical media

frankly embarrassing that they released Z-A in that state (the state: no spin animation)

an important litmus test for good Pokémon games is whether they have an animation for spinning your character around

grateful for the cultural exchange of Lay's bringing Canada's favorite chip over to the US

This corridor is such a good tone-setter; I shot the chainsaw zombie's hand and the chainsaw flew out of their hand in a perfect arc directly into Leon's face

my game taste boils down to Vibes And Platformers And Picross 3D

3x3 grid of my favorite games: Super Mario 64, Bloodborne, Super Mario Odyssey, Cave Story, Sonic Adventure 2, Half-Life 2, Persona 4, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Picross 3D: Round 2

I feel like my list changes every time a trend like this rolls around, but these are my most consistent mainstays

Solitairica mentioned, hell of a game

I played one run of Slay the Spire 1 and was like, yep! This game is really good. Time to play a different game with an endpoint

Maybe it's fandom cope but I do like how they've taken to producing variations of Pokémon cries (like for 'talking', grunts, chirps, etc.)

Seriously, I went to the store the other day and they were selling all sorts of Mario stuff

me in the second half: I still love Leon but boy they really put him in a profoundly uninteresting setting

They covered this in Welcome Tour, which is why not a lot of people know about it

how did they fit The Friends We Made Along The Way inside that tiny box

Go Tour 2026 haul: the diminishing has diminished #pogo

I had a good feeling but I wasn't expecting it to be the best-reviewed Pokémon game of all time, sheesh

Reupload because the original version was written on a faulty premise, but hear me out: I am stupid 😇

Panel 1: In a comic depicting a Pokemon battle, Lucario and I are facing off against a Shinx and Youngster. Rubbing my chin in thought, I say “ALRIGHT LUCARIO, WE DON’T HAVE THE TYPE ADVANTAGE, SO LET’S HIT ‘EM WITH SOME STAB DAMAGE!” Panel 2: Lucario brandishes a knife and assumes a threatening pose. I hold my hands to my head and yell “LUCARIO NO!!!!!” Panel 3: Rubbing my chin some more, I squint toward Lucario and mutter “wait…”

Panel 4: In a reverse shot of the first panel, I am glancing toward a visual representation of Lucario’s typing, illustrated by a dotted arrow. Realizing that Lucario is Fighting- & Steel-type, I exclaim “oh!” Lucario innocently glances back towards me, while the Youngster and Shinx cower in fear. Panel 5: I turn around and shrug, saying “carry on, then”. Lucario begins running toward its opponents with its knife held high, while the Shinx and Youngster run away.

Haters will say it's not very effective
