oh yeah, I have no doubt that this was later in the process, the other looks like a draft in comparison

oh weird, maybe it was exported incorrectly at the time? the EGM quote especially doesn't look intended to me, being off center and plain

oh hey Tyler, it looks to me like you exported either an Illustrator or QuarkXpress layout but didn't link the fonts, which is causing some of the text like "Heavyweight Edition" and the EGM quote to revert to defaults

I challenge you to watch an episode of Bonkers, it feels like it's made by aliens

I want you to know that Phil started explaining the question to me and before he even finished I said "Bonkers." I didn't know about the hot sauce power up but it was just an absolute truth in my brain that he could handle it, despite my hatred of him.

Even better, I had nothing to do with this at all! I built something where cool stuff happens without me!

So far we've raised $735.69 for Trans Lifeline!

Entering hour four of the mix about to work up to clubbier and bassier stuff.

No, you absolutely did the right thing because you enjoyed the way they displayed for years. We're allowed to spend money for pleasure.

I don't know that these are necessarily bootlegs! I've seen other Videomation releases that seem legit/legal, they're just "unlicensed" in Nintendo terms.

Sorry to whoever purchased these, that's what you get for not following frankcifaldi dot bsky

Same, I was more just amazed that this was the experience Steam was pushing people to! It was the top takeover on the store, they were very explicitly telling everyone who was shopping that they wanted to vomit literally 3,500 random games at them. It's a really bizarre choice!

Now that it's kicked over from random games to some kind of curation this is actually pretty cool, but man those opening couple days were weird!

Why do I need to have ideas? It isn't my job to give Steam users a positive experience, I'm just a customer having a bad time and wanting to express that.

Trying to actually browse Next Fest makes me feel like I'm about 800 years old, just thrown into a pool of endless white noise I don't understand that makes me want to turn off my computer and read a book. I can't believe this is what the Steam client is actively pushing people to look at.

don't forget the time he did a pr fluff piece for quantic dream after their toxic culture allegations, or described backlash to NFTs in games as "weird haters," or defended Saudi Arabia because they put money in video games, or did the softball interview with his buddy Kotick (of Epstein fame), or

This is the person at the comic-con panel who lines up to ask a question and then when it's their turn they just say a bunch of stuff

that’s actually a mistranslation, yoko taro isn’t directing the new evangelion, he’s piloting it

Tails has this if you got all the emeralds in Sonic & Knuckles except his bird friends were invincible deathbringers

A C-tier Super Nintendo game at best, the very definition of a cousin game if it were released for any other system bsky.app/profile/less...

If you haven't channel surfed bad computer games from 35 years ago on your gigantic flatscreen using a wireless keyboard and mouse I highly recommend that you do something else instead

I'm cruising through bad DOS games with a scanline filter on so let's all appreciate this #scanlinesunday shot of Scott "Cyclops" Summers not knowing how to open the door to Murderworld, mere seconds before I changed to a different game

I need you to know that Sub-Zero shows up in a later routine involving Kung Fu Panda and Deadpool
