Cobra Commander, the notorious gay icon

Who remembers the entire hidden shmup stage in Dyna Gear? I'm guessing nobody until I showed it off in 2020 as it was absolutely undocumented on video or in any language

I do not often retweet but after following some of the people from Idle Thumbs Network -> Waypoint -> Remap, I truly cannot recommend these people enough (Articles, streams and podcast included).
Insightful, often timeless coverage of video games themselves, the industry and often life itself.

Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

Breathe & Flow on YT has a bunch of great videos at all levels for free, then a patreon/app if you really like their stuff. Best of luck!

Here are five amazing cheeses paired with five amazing games because after @gamesdonequick.bsky.social's cheese donation yesterday, I was aghast to find out so many gamers weren't familiar with incredible cheeses like comté or halloumi!! Hopefully, this helps. Eat good, play good, be good.

Love this one

A universal experience for every Gamer

this image is going to drive me insane

My big project: The Death Generator.
It's a tool for making fake video game screenshots, just fill in new text and it'll give you a (generally) pixel-accurate image back, the correct fonts and everything.

This might the funniest video ever made
