what kinda rhythm game is that, like a bossa nova beat?

A fabricated statement from Nintendo of America's Twitter account addressing a fictitious scenario in which the Earth's oxygen supply is presumed to be depleting at a rapid pace, leaving humanity with mere days to live. "This is Miyamoto. On behalf of everyone who is employed at Nintendo Co. LTD and its subsidiaries, we deeply mourn the countless human lives which will be lost due to the depletion of the global oxygen supply. To anyone who has ever played one of our games, we are eternally grateful to have created long-lasting fun and memories for you. To ease the suffering of families and children across the world, the Mario Kart World game for the Nintendo Switch 2 system will be available as a free download on Nintendo eShop for the foreseeable future. We hope this small gesture of kindness will ease the pain as humanity prepares for a worst-case scenario." The statement is distastefully plastered with logos for Nintendo and Nintendo Switch 2, as well as with a render of Mario from Mario Kart World.

A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. John Default Profile Picture: "No one read this statement and thought it was distasteful? Why did Miyamoto think this would help anyone?" NintenDeen: "Simple: Nintendo is so depraved that they'd exploit a global crisis to boost the player count of the failed Mario Kart World and force consumers back into the Switch 2 ecosystem to boost sales and player numbers."

A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. PlayStation Nation: "What the fuck are you doing falsely advertising sales during these trying times? I went to the website and Mario Kart World is still selling for $80 USD." Kremling Kevin: "If you actually read the statement, it clearly says the discount is available on Nintendo eShop. Meaning the application on the Switch 2 itself, not the web browser version." PlayStation Nation: "Point still stands."

A fabricated Tweet responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. Isaboner: "Nothing for Switch 1 owners?"

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

@happypaintings.bsky.social was wondering if either f&h games were gonna go on sale this christmas? a friend of mine already has both in our steam family library but recently we've both been going through playthroughs of 2 again at the same time so I was tempted to pick it up

then die

Although it's very rough around the edges with the texture work this lil guy is the guy I worked on.

oh my god.. zero escape is really good I can't believe it took me so long to actually play the first one

Image saying "just make it first" with an early prototype screenshot of Demon Tides followed by a "you can make it good later" and almost recent screenshot.

Some of you will now argue it was always good, I just know it.

Happy Undertale anniversary. Please enjoy Ralsei Uni

realise that I'm probably preaching to no-one on here it's just something that keeps popping up in my head

post-uni has left me in this weird limbo of feeling like I can't do anything. and instantly getting overwhelmed when I try.
I want to keep making art but I honestly suck at it and uni has sort of left me with a kinda mixed education. it's just hard to work out next steps.

"digital asbestos" is fantastic framing.

life can be hard sometimes but I'm happy I'm a woman

Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star are funny in that they are almost the exact same subgenre (space western in which the main characters are bounty hunters that fail to ever make any money whatsoever) yet they are in other ways completely the opposite genres from each other (noir vs adventure)

Kelly Turnbull @Coelasquid • 6/20/23 When I was in the interview for the show l'm directing on now they specifically called out the Pipeburn comics in my portfolio as what impressed them

Kelly Turnbull @Coelasquid It's going to be very funny when it comes out and everyone finds out what show sexy gay Bouncer fanfiction with the serial numbers filed off got me a job on

Kelly Turnbull @coelasquid.bsky.social Oh hey Hulu released the new King of the Hill intro

How it started : How it’s going

This outdated ad is especially weird as it’s for Klonoa… A game that could have sold to both girls and boys if they’d bothered to try.

In Mario Kart 8/Deluxe, 200cc feels much faster compared to 150cc than 150cc does compared to 100cc. This is because it actually is about 38% faster than it should be based on the ratio between top speed and class as established by 50cc, 100cc and 150cc. If the formula established by the other engine classes is followed to calculate the engine class that 200cc should be based on its top speed, then the result indicates that the true engine class the game claims is 200cc is actually 415cc.

If you have ever felt that 200cc in Mario Kart 8/Deluxe is much faster than it should be, your suspicions are correct. Based on the formula followed by the other engine classes, the speed the game pretends is 200cc is actually 415cc instead.

Liliana from my game team's third year game called Help My Cat Is An Eldritch God! Has a lot of problems due to rushing to get this done for the deadline but it didn't turn out too bad!

cryptocurrency in 2025 is insane to me because there are rugpulls every other day, more and more every year. you’d think people wouldn’t keep falling for it at a rate more than a baby falls for peek-a-boo

people need real high productivity jobs like bitching about wokeness on twitter and sucking at video games

I have some good resources too for UK ppl if there are any here.

half of the posts on twitter remind me that the dead internet theory is very real

said this before but socrates was sort of the first debate livestreamer which really makes you understand why they killed him

And yes. you can play as her. (downloads in replies)

Do NOT fuck with gamers

this looks so goodd omg and congrats on your first e shot!

This joke is agelessly impossibly old, but is the glue that holds every dev team together. It communicates the gallows humour and nihilism that has powered the development of every game you ever loved.

HOLY SHIT

A man says "there's so much hate in my heart." He picks up a Flying V and says "my only instinct is to write incredibly hostile riffs." Another man comes in and says "I'd like to listen." They both have a wonderful time.
