Post image Individually, a person who plays fighting games may have a bunch of different complicated nuanced motivations and emotions that are served by different parts of the fighting game experience — not limited to the game itself on their console, but the broader journey of mastery and connectivity. The high-minded ideal FGC stuff I mentioned above is real and does exist! It just doesn’t exist enough to sell the millions of copies that go into funding the next Street Fighter or Tekken. At scale, building and selling games as a service looks a lot more like making a theme park or a casino, where you have customers entering at a given point, you give them choices on what kind of experience they can have in your game, and you give them clear signs and paths to choose from in order to make it easy for them. In the above section, we established that people play video games because they want to feel something specific. It’s a brief moment of agency in a day where you were otherwise probably at the mercy of some stupid bullshit at your job, or at school, or in your family, or on the bus, or whatever. We spend most of our day pushing the boulder up, and the brief moment of rest we get is choosing the video game we play in between eating dinner and going to sleep, where we get to act like the person we imagine ourselves to be as the boulder rolls back down the hill.

yeah probably swap out darkest dungeon with pentiment, and then you can add Age Of Empires 2 and Yoshi's Story for nostalgia picks, and finally add Home Safety Hotline for the horror department

A screenshot from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, showing Mario and Luigi in Mushrise Park, looking at two seemingly dead Luigis lying on the ground. Source: YouTube user @alexsstuff2801, youtube.com/watch?v=3PC_OU_xnKA

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team contains various unused test rooms in its files. One of these is the "two dead Luigis" test room, which is identical to the Mushrise Park entrance from the finished game, except there are two Luigis lying on the ground. The Luigis are unresponsive.

this sucks. no patience for the people laughing at it, calling it concord 2.0, etc. if 2 million people pick up a game, and you have to shutter it and lay everyone off, it doesn't matter if the game is good or bad. it's a symptom of a much bigger and deeper problem.

Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas (2003)
I think I watched the DVD exactly once (1) as a kid and didn't retain a single from it, turns out it's just because it's very forgettable!!! (shocker)
But every character is very hot and of course whoever animated Eris had a lot of fun (they probably died)

yeah this one hits. The main themes of both mourning/loss and the fight against authorianism/commodification of art, tie strangely well together to make a very cohesive album - Plastic Beach nostalgics rejoice!

This is also a very contemporary read of the text but the first half of the book about a person becoming so consumed by their Work that they are no longer able to rest because every moment of their life is consumed by fear of the Work, hits strangely close to home for me

Book cover of Frankenstein from Penguin editions featuring a pattern of anatomical hearts in blue ink

I said this was a video game thread, actually i lied this is a media thread now

Mary Shelley - Frankenstein (1818 version)
Victor is very easy to make fun of and the Creature has so much more substance and is so much more interesting when it is allowed to be a tiny bit Evil

Quite literally, until you have 10 reviews Steam doesn't surface you at all.

Those first 10 reviews change everything. If you see a game with less than 10 reviews, you are being shown a life you can dramatically improve.

a digital collage with a pink, purple, green, yellow, and teal gradient overlaid on all the images. the images include a horse carrying a bucket, a cluster of mushrooms, a grub, a birds talon, a cicada, five spiders, two flower buds, a hand with an eye over the back of it, and a microscope slide of atoms. there is white text that reads "get weirder or die miserable." the background is black and there is a slightly grainy texture

get weirder 🫵

NACON ANNONCE EFFECTUER CE JOUR UNE DECLARATION DE CESSATION DES PAIEMENTS ET SOLLICITE L’OUVERTURE D’UNE PROCEDURE DE REDRESSEMENT JUDICIAIRE • Lesquin, le 25 février 2026, Nacon (la « Société »), société du groupe Bigben, sollicite l’ouverture d’une procédure de redressement judiciaire auprès du Tribunal de commerce de Lille Métropole (le « Tribunal »). • La suspension du cours de l’action de la Société sur le marché règlementé d’Euronext à Paris (code ISIN : FR001348791) est maintenue dans l’attente de la décision du Tribunal. Dans un secteur du jeu vidéo marqué par des cycles d’investissement longs et par de profondes mutations, le 20 février 2026, Nacon avait annoncé que la situation de son actionnaire majoritaire, la société Bigben Interactive, qui se trouvait, à la suite d’un refus inattendu et tardif de son pool bancaire, dans l’incapacité de procéder au remboursement partiel de son emprunt obligataire auprès de ses porteurs d’obligations, impactait de façon significative ses propres activités. La Société indiquait à cette occasion que sa situation de liquidité nécessitait la mise en œuvre rapide d’une restructuration financière auprès de ses créanciers afin de lui permettre d’assurer la continuité de son exploitation et qu’elle envisageait de recourir à des procédures destinées à faciliter la restructuration de son endettement sous l’égide du Tribunal. A ce jour, la Société fait état d’actifs disponibles ne lui permettant pas de faire face à son passif exigible. Dans ce contexte, la Société va, dès aujourd’hui, procéder à une déclaration de cessation des paiements auprès du Tribunal et solliciter l’ouverture d’une procédure de redressement judiciaire. L’objectif de cette procédure est d’évaluer toutes les solutions permettant, dans les meilleures conditions, de pérenniser l’activité de la Société, protéger les salariés et maintenir les emplois tout en renégociant avec ses créanciers dans le un cadre serein et apaisé. Cette procédure permettra à la Société de continuer son activité, renégocier ses créances et élaborer un plan de continuation crédible et efficace. Les instances représentatives du personnel ont été informées le 24 février 2026 de cette décision. Il appartiendra au Tribunal, lors d’une audience attendue au début du mois de mars, de statuer sur cette demande d’ouverture d’une procédure de redressement judiciaire Dans cette attente et compte tenu des incertitudes liées à l’issue de la procédure, la suspension du cours de l’action de la Société, annoncée le 20 février 2026, est maintenue. La Société informera le marché au fur et à mesure de l’évolution de la situation de la Société et de l’état d’avancement de la procédure. A propos de la procédure de redressement judiciaire

L’éditeur français Nacon se déclare en cessation de paiement et demande l’ouverture d´une procédure de redressement judiciaire.
