What?!

Donkey Kong Bananza is the best stress reliever in these times. Takes me back to playing Rampage for hours after school. I had Blockbuster's copy for months!

How do you like your wings #blackskygamers ?

Drums or Flats?

Ranch or Blue Cheese?

We asked these questions in the blackskygamers discord today and these are some answers we got in a small thread 🧵 👇🏾

Drums. With the exception of buffalo wings, hold the ranch and blue cheese cause I prefer sauced wings.

TIL Toys R Us is back.

Normally I would tag the dev, but I've grown shy.

A screenshot from Citizen Sleeper shows a character, Ethan, a "Cynical bounty hunter." After gaining a reputation of being a shithead and losing the bounty on your head, he asks for help keeping each other alive. "We can help each other," he says. "A straight 50/50 deal." He looks at you. "I'm not asking for a favor." Ethan smiles. He looks like shit warmed up. Game designed by @jumpovertheage.com‬

Laughed myself hoarse.

"Ethan smiles. He looks like shit warmed up."

Accidentally overwrote a save file because I loaded my suspend point instead of saving over it. 😭

I wish Nintendo's native emulation wasn't so basic.

An in-game error message with a bold yellow background reads: Cheating Player detected ⚠️ Match Terminated The cheater has been punished and this match will be invalidated, nothign will be recorded on the career page. Confirm Button

Was playing a few matches of #MarvelRivals when a weird Psylocke came after me. She was rubberbanding and her invisibility appeared abnormal. Moments later, this error message appeared, ending the game.

I've never seen this sort of error before. It's very satisfying to see responsive reporting.

As an adult, yeah. As a kid, this is exactly what I wanted from them. But I wonder if today's kids even have the attention span for it. 😂

It links to an art theft labeler too which is really nice.

🎮 GAMES WRITING ISN'T DEAD!!!!!

I started this project to highlight that awesome people are still writing about video games. I initially started with 25 sites.

Now we're careening towards 200! Over 8000 articles!

#gaming #videogames

OMG thanks for sharing this. I love this. It reminds me of a webring in the best way! Do writers submit their sites to join the aggregate? Or do you and Micah curate it yourself?

I hope we all find an accessible (affordable) Substack alternative soon too.

When they made the announcement the other day, I immediately removed myself from the Polygon mailing list. this is so sad.

a man wearing a hat and a black shirt is standing in the woods . Alt: A man clad in a black wide brimmed hat and button up shir, turns to fix his startling hazel eyes on the viewer. He stands in a forest, pondering the adage, "There's no such thing as a coincidence."

Blue Prince rewards that part of my brain that looks for patterns in everything and is usually let down by the games where coincidences are just coincidences.

Blue Prince is the "there's no such thing as coincidence" of games.

OMG yay! So glad I managed to find the account on BlueSky.

Tomorrow, me & the rest of the team at @compulsiongames.bsky.social take years of hard work, love, care, & lessons and share it with the world.

I am SO proud of this team made up of some of the most wonderful folks I've ever met. I love my job, my team, & what we've created in South of Midnight. 🖤

Ah that's gotta be frustrating. It worked! Thanks for resolving this so quickly. ✨

The settings page of the Record Club has a generic "an error occurred" message when attempting to upload a profile picture.

@record.club Loving the app so far... Trying to add a profile pic, but it just says "error" even after trying to upload images I've compressed further to meet the requirements. Help? Thanks. 😀

REVIEW: 'South Of Midnight' Is A Love Letter To An Overlooked Community - But Why Tho? Compulsion Games has created a love letter to the South, to its beauty and its stories in South of Midnight.

I reviewed South of Midnight and I'm floored by it. It has some of the most beautiful level design and art around; the narrative is hauntingly strong and honors Southern Gothic literature perfectly. While the gameloop is repetitive, I never wanted to put it down.

My review:

That's so nice 💕

I'm feeling very underwhelmed by this Nintendo Switch 2 Direct so far. #NintendoSwitch2

Perhaps the Gamers are alright

Same. But also hyper realistic warfare games like Call of Duty and Battlefield.

I feel the same about game studios that privilege realism above all else. If it's not in service to the story, aesthetics are just another unnecessary crutch.

I've forgotten to check daily.

Besides, I have adult responsibilities (ugh) and a backlog for centuries so I'd rather just play more games.
