DeSert StreaM (201/202)

galaxy 1 vs galaxy 2 discourse tires me out so much because it's literally always been galaxy 1 has better atmosphere, galaxy 2 has better gameplay. and yet people rehash the same arguments again and again to act like galaxy 2 is a failure

NAILS?

the college dorm experience

me: I'd love to go to a GDQ if both celeste and neon white are gonna be there
someone else: so like literally every gdq ever?
ADGQ 2026:

I have got to finish fwg soon so I can stop feeling bad about having big hot takes when it comes to molden list lol

it is cute!

HRT should be available free over-the-counter for everyone including children

I think a big plus of the steam machine that kind of goes over ppls heads for beint an entry level machine is that it acrually just wont charge you 100 dollars a year to play games online LOL

Ludwig is one of the few super large streamers I really like, this is awesome to see

New games weren't scarce in the 90s, but you could've easily played most of the hits. Now there's so many masterpieces that everyone has their personal endless backlog of amazing content.

AI slop shouldn't be able to thrive in a market bursting with so many human-made, genuine banger pieces of art.

challenge enthusiasts vc hit 1000 hours today lol

for those who don't keep up with politics
govt shutdown = no food
govt open = no healthcare
if govt stayed shut down, we would have no food but keep healthcare
but because govt reopened it basically means they took away food for a month for no reason and also no healthcare

Professional networking (playing among us with celeste players)

A plea for help. 🙏
One of the lead playtesters of Blue Prince, Iggy, has polycystic kidney disease and has only a few months to find a living kidney donor.

His story, contact and donor information can all be found on

Please help us in sharing his story and getting the word out.💙

One of the best (and most damning) articles I've ever read

Briana White - Aerith’s voice actress in the FF7 series- is currently running a huge charity auction with a bunch of Final Fantasy memorabilia. And all proceeds are donated Immigrant Defenders Law Center - helping for legal funds and reconnecting families. Take a look! tiltify.com/@thestranger...

Reminder that this is a winning position, and people support it

This is the rebalanced version, so some of the stars are a lot easier than before, but a lot of them are harder too. Overall it's taken me about 68 hours, but I've still got 20 stars left to do. Hopefully will be done by the end of the year

It's over dude
if you told me literally 2 months ago that I would have finished Kaizo Galaxy I probably would have told you that you were crazy lol, I wasn't planning on doing this at all but the idea just popped into my head one day and I did it. It's honestly hard to believe.

Happy birthday!

Someone gotta find a way to prevent this from happening 😭Games shouldn't be on a time limit due to copyright, if a song is added it should stay

Perfectly cut moment

A source familiar w/ internal workings at MasterCard notes the company does not plan to recruit additional call center workers for the Christmas season, as MasterCard does not expect higher call volume than usual. A resurgence of calls re censorship during the busy season would be huge strategically

Today in exciting dezzy developments, I've figured out how to transfer my save from cartridge to pc so I can stream my battle frontier attempts (and use speedup lmfao)

I think the issue is that SMG1 is just very overrepresented in this theory lol

Mario Squared Galaxy- SMG1/SMB1
Rolling Coaster Galaxy- Rainbow Road/Mario Kart
Twisty Trials- Mario Sunshine
Boss Blitz- SMG1
Stone Cyclone- SMG1
Throwback- SM64

it makes a lot of sense

I read a theory saying that throwback galaxy was originally supposed to be in World S and I've been thinking about it ever since. Like if you swapped it with Flip Out Galaxy, World S would be entirely references to other games, + Grandmaster Galaxy.

Thinking about this more, and as good as the games are, the culture is just as thriving right now. I've never seen so many indie rhythm games doing collabs with each other, even games that have been out for a while. It's so awesome

I think a big issue is that it came out right after S/M, and S/M were DENSE games already. While USUM are incredible as standalone games, at the time it was rather tough for anyone to actually get through to the bulk of new content
