I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

I started playing Outer Wilds for the first time earlier today. 👀

It's.... intriguing!

Take care of yourself Carly!

Just means it'll get a 7.8/10 from IGN

A screenshot of a new starter Pokémon, named Browt, who is a grass bird. He is a yellow colour with green leaf eyebrows and a tiny green beak.

Yep this Pokémon is one of my new favourites already

Meanwhile, the list of updates for Kingdom Hearts 4:

Utterly bizarre that this isn't an upgrade if you have the Switch 1 version.
It's free if you do, which is nice, and there's Mouse Mode now, but it downloads the game again as a separate app

And you can't carry over save data / play time

...

...W h y

Final Fantasy 13's art direction and scenery visuals are still pretty phenomenal even today, dang

I have a large 1080p monitor and I haven't noticed anything wrong with how XCX:DE-NS2E looks. And it's a smooth 60fps now too

I guess if I played on a big 4K screen up-close, sure, it'd look a bit squiggly, but...
It's preferable compared to things looking slightly blurry/pixelated

👏🏻 Buy 👏🏻 This 👏🏻 Game 👏🏻 ASAP

Peak

10/10 racing game

Also the music is utterly incredible

Just played this game's demo and it's absolutely SIIIIICK

But I need more practice with the controls because I keep crashing or just launching myself off the track

Either way, DEFINITELY check this one out

Since it's possible to release GBA games individually on the Switch eShop now, can this happen with the three Sonic Advance games too pls & thx

They're genuinely trying to think of crappy A/I solutions to things that aren't even problems/needs at this point

(Nintendo Direct voiceover person):

"The 'Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition' game, for the Nintendo Switch 2 family of systems, is now available"

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO

Just saw an ad that started out "your kids won't remember their best day of screen time" and while I of course broadly agree with the sentiment that you should do activities with your children, don't tell me i don't remember beating zelda a link to the past

Many mainline Sonic game reviews from 2006-2023 that feature "Sonic had a rough transition to 3D,"
and then the majority of the review talks about "slippery jolty controls" or compares it too strictly to the 90s classics as if the series can never branch out with cool experimental ideas

They certainly look fake, but there's a *tiny* chance that they might be real mockup/placeholder screenshots used for development, as part of a first-pass of the UI+logo

I highly doubt it, though

I tried some of the Virtual Boy games that got added to Nintendo Switch Online today
(albeit I used an old Cardboard VR thing made for phones, instead of an actual Switch one, so the image position was a bit janky)

....Ehhh, it's alright. Cool games but nothing I'd play for more than 10 mins

A crudely photoshopped valentines day card depicting the villain "Xemnas" from Kingdom Hearts, a spiky haired man wearing a long black coat and holding two light beam swords. On a pink pretty background, text reads "I desire nothing between your body and mine" with a winking face.

...Send this to the Kingdom Hearts fan you admire today

a video game screen shows a silhouette of a person standing in the dark Alt: A gif from the game "animal well". It is a dark colourful 2d platformer consisting of dimly lit pixel art. A blob character rides left and right.

Been playing a bit more of Animal Well this evening

The last time I played it was mid January, and I got to one area where I was completely stumped on what to do. But today I tried something so simple and it was one of those "holy shit, THAT'S how!" moments

What a clever game

This is likely just normal, after Frontiers sold excellently in 2022.
Since then there's been

• a decent 2.5D game
• Sonic X Shadow Gens (which was 50% an older game)
• a racing spinoff

No doubt when the next new mainline game comes out, sales numbers will rise again

Kena Bridge Of Spirits ❤️

Highly recommend everyone check this game out before the new sequel comes out because this has always been a wonderful gem of a game ❤️

Happy birthday! 🥳

Okay the new "Kena: Scars Of Kosmora" actually looked incredible #PlayStationStateOfPlay

I enjoyed Kena Bridge of Spirits back in 2022 and I've been meaning to revisit it for a while - I guess I'll actually do that soon!

Welp, no new Kingdom Hearts 4 news today folks

#PlayStation #StateOfPlay #PlayStationStateOfPlay

I'll believe this when I see it lol

Kingdom Hearts has basically been on a hiatus since 2022 so I doubt it'd suddenly make an appearance in one of the biggest live-service games of all time
