Diana! On the Crossy Road

almost started arguing about stupid discourse stuff but then I remembered I have a life outside of the internet. good times

But the game isn't sexualizing its characters because it thinks it's cool. It has things to say about how differently 2B and 9S are treated and so it has to show that disparity.

The fact that you were doing proper journalism for $30 an article instead of quick listicle nonsense is laudable (and horrible, for the people responsible). It's so sad to see people giving you shit thinking they're speaking truth to power.

That's not even how anyone spells his name now, so I guess he's nostalgic about pre-18th century Napoleon, specifically? Extra weird guy.

yeah, same

a screen from never 7, a visual novel. The protagonist is thinking stupid thoughts about what his duty is as a man

This is a conversation about who pedals on the bike and who sits behind.

my new smw kaizo hack is out! not yet moderated but you can download it here now: www.smwcentral.net?p=section&a=... :) it's called Masterpiece (animated cover art by @darcydee.bsky.social !)

That was a joke but I'm not going to explain it.

Nice! Looking forward to when everyone forgets the original exists.

Glad to have periodic reminders that I'm not the only one that knows about Pagan Autogeny.

Yep, on the DS the bottom screen was just narration and the top was like the Adventure mode in the remake.
It's a shame it's one or the other in the remake but the flowchart is super convenient.

If I remember correctly, the Novel mode in 999 has a lot more lines of narration than the Adventure mode. Characters are always talking about what just happened because there's no external narrator describing it in the past tense.

Microsoft Microsoft is perhaps the most complicit tech company in Israel’s illegal apartheid regime and ongoing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.

there's a boycott against Microsoft ATM bc they're building the AI and services used to commit war crimes in Gaza.... so you should steal from them

Second time I learn I'm probably out of a job soon thanks to Aftermath. Cool

I want to film The Lord Of The Rings in Hollywood Animal, but my writers keep trying to make porn instead Weappy Studio's tycoon sim about movie-making is a promising business strategy game, with potential for all kinds of scandals and upsets.

I really like this review of Hollywood Animal!
I didn't manage to write about it because of sales metrics and other dumb stuff but it's really interesting!

Microsoft Word spell checker tries to correct the word sander with sanctuary

lmao Microsoft Word, sure this sanctuary has two years of warranty.
It just keeps getting worse, I should really start moving my stuff out of OneDrive so I can jump ship for a clone.

The confusion around $90 Switch 2 games proves how broken the internet is The internet seems to believe that Nintendo Switch 2 games cost $90, but that's not entirely accurate based on what we know.

I went down a rabbit hole into the "physical Switch 2 games cost $90" claim and found a self-feeding cycle of misinformation that speaks to how Google is making us all dumber. www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/no-sw...

Also "you gotta let sketchbooks be sketchbooks" as if we don't put actual sketchbooks in museums.

or maybe it was expecting every news article to make 30% profit like it's fish on a stall.

maybe we shouldn't have put marketing people in charge of newspapers and publishing. maybe that's the problem.

"people are having fun with words, they're expressing a set of design practices they recognize is getting more popular by using a new name"

and then you get mad about it. you look like a dick. stop it.

yes that applies to metroidbranias too. it's a word that like 10k people know, tops, what are you afraid of

we're not gonna make the name illegal, you can just give up

y'all need to shut up about metroidvanias. find another name to get mad about

Remember 11 mentioned

This poster explains 100% of the exposition and overthinking the characters do in the game.

a crop of a screenshot of The Sekimeiya with a poster of Remember 11 in the background.

hey that's remember 11

SPYRO THE DRAGON 2 - here's some more spyro the dragon 2! for those of you who like spyro the dragon 2 www.deviantart.com/vgcartograph...

All those years wishing for a Never 7/Ever 17 remake and somehow I never realized I'd have to deal with Kurumi discourse.

A couple of years ago people would be raving. Not most people, but like at least a couple subreddits.
I want more of those remakes but I doubt this one would be profitable, and it's a big deal! There's an AIR anime and all!
