New (very grumpy) family member; Puca.. He’s a rescue and fighting some health issues and not happy about it at all. But he’s settling in well.

He hasn’t met Penny yet, he’s in quarantine until he’s feeling better. #caturday

It did look painful. You were great!

A little sneak peek behind the scenes…

“You will never be disappointed with the United States of America.”

Umm… About that…

Oh man, these twin stick joysticks from Immortal are (1) beautiful (2) absolute units!

Look at that artwork 😍

.. steadily the world is consumed by exit doorways.. bugs all seemingly fixed now at least. 2/2

Had one of those days where fixing one bug starts a chain reaction of more bugs. 😅 1/2

One of those where the 8 bits are way better than the 16bit ones too. Odd.

Happy 28th birthday to FINAL FANTASY Tactics. It featured music by Hitoshi Sakimoto and Masaharu Iwata. Sakimoto-san and his Basiscape team are available for your #gamedev at www.scarletmoonartists.com #gamemusic #vgm #FINALFANTASY #FINALFANTASYTactics

its insane how much i took for granted the simple ability to look at something and know it was crafted by human hands

As multiple others have said the Scott Pilgrim game is excellent, waaaay better than it has any right to be really.

Sims bushes are already the dirtiest places imaginable.

Almost every time your pet cat explores one it either finds trash or catches some sort of plague, and that’s just when nobody’s woohooing in them. 😬

The background is infuriating, haha. It’s *right in front of us* but we’re not getting any closer. Perspective be damned. 😂

So does one of mine. 😅 I was also married to someone with ASD.

ASD(/Aspergers - which isn’t really used anymore) alone is not an explanation for *zero* empathy. I don’t doubt Elon’s on the spectrum too, but that’s not really why he’s such a douche.

That’s not really an excuse. People on the spectrum have empathy. He’s just an asshole.

Hardly a Wii fanboy here, it’s not one of my favourite systems, but it is a great one that did wonders for the industry.

Enjoy creating your own problems and being salty over nothing.

This is so absolutely inaccurate. Kids get frustrated and ditch things. Case in point; PS3 Eyepet. That barely worked as the camera quality was far too shit.

Wii had many good original games. It also has by far the most accurate to control version of RE4 and Metroid prime trilogy + so many JRPGs!

Or maybe.. You’re just wrong? Distinct possibility!

Played through long ass story based games without a single issue, had tiny daughter playing weird point and click Sims games (+ many more) without issue.

It’s never done that for me on the Wii or WiiU? It works just fine. (Hence there being so many young children’s games that rely on it being accurate enough not to be frustrating)

God, that’d be some serious The Inner Light bullshit.

I’d either be institutionalised or at the very least extremely:

Hell bent on snacking on my still warm spleen.. I miss as copy like this, it’s so convinced “there’s gore!” is going to sell it. Love RE2.

I think my choice would be Final Fantasy Tactics probably, or SOTN. Or Silent Hill. Jeez. This is maybe the hardest generation to choose!

Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995

Oooh the nighttime stage looks awesome!

Email them and they’ll probably send you a voucher for free crisps, at least. 😅

"AI is coming, its inevitable" no its not you sniveling weirdo. how are those 3D TVs going. how are NFT markets looking these days. Seen anything cool in the metaverse lately?

anyone who says we need to resign to using it, that itll be here whether we like it or not, is a feckless dipshit.
