Preferring this over Quake 3 and its successors is the only time in life I've been Mortal Kombat-coded.

Hmu for Facing Worlds after I've gone sicko mode setting up a gyro control config.

This same thing led me to switch to AnyType, which I suspect will do the same thing in due time.

Me, simultaneously learning proficiency in the English language and playing PC FPS/arcade games circa 2004:

My mom won a radio contest for a Planet Hollywood dinner (lol) where we had fries with Richard Karn. He was nice!

There's two kinds o' folks, the ones that play FFT like old Fire Emblem, and the folks who play it like proto-Disgaea. Both have a good time!

Grinding on Mandalia Plains is a right of passage, go ham pal.

Same boat. I'm not super convinced that DV2 is going to be more than incremental, but it feels silly to bet against it when people seem to be taking 24p motion stutter (my only real complaint about OLEDs!) seriously.

Hard to reconcile that when I've got a B7 with some noticeable burn-in on reds :/

Totally fine action-leaning Metroidvania game, but not what I was looking for from a new Metroid in particular so I don't fault it too hard. Didn't love the moment to moment level/world design, REALLY didn't love that EMMI sequences were cordoned off to just theme park haunted house zones.

I'm not immediately on the hunt for one, but please DM me if you have a hard time moving this! Local to Seattle.

Demonschool from @necrosoftgames.com came out right as I began a long overdue vacation which means oops, guess I'm playing a little Demonschool on a long overdue vacation.

Blue skies to invoke Sega on this journey ❤️

Getting the biggest possible boat and stakes in a whole boat enterprise is just the logical endgame on PNW dad-brain. That new yacht probably has a hi fi setup that costs more than a home exclusively for King Crimson vinyl.

GAME OVER: $25k+ of tech stolen from Kent arcade Tens of thousands of dollars worth of vintage video game equipment was stolen from a Kent arcade this week.

KIRO 7 ran an article and two TV pieces on the theft of a box truck full of arcade PCBs, artwork, and machines from my workplace yesterday. If anyone in the Seattle area sees someone offloading a ton of CPS2/NAOMI/Neo Geo PCBs, stuff of that nature, please reach out.

I've wanted to be this freak for a minute and carrot keeps getting yanked by COVID spending and then crypto and then AI shrinkflation but maybe this box will do it for me. The children yearn for weird indies and gyro aiming on their living room OLED.

Growing up a dental tech said "tongues are curious creatures". Is the tongue an occupational obsessive or a symbiotic cohabitator? These are questions for the poets.

Stg those watermarks are going to appear in my bedroom like Jacob Marley one of these days.

If you're a Seattle voter check that ballot!

I've never known how badly I needed something like this

I've been struggling to put my finger on exactly why I haven't connected to Melinoe compared to Zagreus or even other support characters in Hades 2 and I think this thread nails it. The story REALLY feels like it gestures towards challenging her several times then just... Doesn't????

Of course! And agreed all around. Thanks for flagging it!

Not disagreeing here, but all of those card images have better versions shared on @magic.wizards.com in posts now. I think these might have been snagged from screencaps of the stream in a lower bitrate? Looking into it.

Re-wiring the bathroom for an additional outlet to accommodate the Costco Toto (no deodorizer like you say) was the most heinously DINK-coded thing I ever did. Zero regrets. Could not stop thinking about it ever since I got back from Tokyo in 2016. The toilet has the power to be my friend now.

Oh dang! Depending on how that dpad works out this might be The One for 2D games on the Switch. I'll need to see how Type-Two's previous pads worked out.

Someday I'll play one of these games until then get your sword opera jams going today youtu.be/F_8Sh9zL59s?...

I don't see a huge difference in the desired outcome between "I wish Game Freak didn't make Pokemon games" and "I wish Game Freak had more than 18 months to develop a tentpole franchise game that makes an average of six hojillion dollars". These people are cool! They made Pulseman for God's sake!

Picked up the Arrow release of the Heisei trilogy on sale from your rec a while back. Will report back after I have been Gamera'd

Also very great research from @katewillaert.bsky.social!

Haven't seen anyone mention @transparency.bsky.social yet, fantastic work.

I got after just a few tries after stumbling into what I think is an intended rhythm/approach and SAME. It looked and felt cool as hell and felt like the lights coming on in the club at 3AM when it ended.

By X2 they realized they shouldn't have waited at all, which is kinda Admitting It at that point

Oh thank God it's not just me. I feel like I'm sending directions from the Mars rover every time I touch a Tekken. And I've logged unfathomable hours in casual Soul Calibur 1-3!
