remember when jason schreier vaguetweeted that some games felt a little too long (tlou2 had just come out) and baker immediately ran into his replies with a poem by teddy roosevelt about how all critics are worthless
Michael crichton was 6'9" when he wrote Jurassic park. Imagine the dinosaur adventure Robert Wadlow could have wrote. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (6'1"): The Lost World (1912) Michael crichton (6'9"): Jurassic park Robert Wadlow (8'11"): ???????????
there is something incredibly serendipitous about twitter tearing itself apart over whether it's piracy to mod a dead free phone game back to playability, while bsky was celebrating a random 30 year old amiga platformer preserved through piracy and open source releases
Having received so much love for our good old #MoonChild game, we are happy to give love back to the game community by releasing the Moon Child source files + assets.
Details can be read in the ReadMe text. We're looking forward to see what you're going to create! 💚

seeing "texture mapping is overrated and for the peasant's eye" and "everyone has general divine revelation that amigas were superior to ibm compatibles" and connecting the two statements in an ace attorney minigame
trump finally gives up and asks someone to explain this god stuff to him, listens intently as barron explains for an hour what's the best way to play shin megami tensei iii in 2026
jon mcnaughton must be so angry that he's the one artist in the world that the slop machines can perfectly replicate
there's something very pure about how every single amiga game could be effortlessly passed off as a biting parody of amiga games
"good idea, bad execution" when discussing art is a meaningless filler phrase. at best it's for wanting to sound nuanced when you feel uncomfortable with simply disliking something, and at worst it's a reflexive defense when you realize it actually did go over your head at first
Beldum: "A human woman said my magnetism can help make tired less bad." A metallic, segmented Pokemon levitates in front of a player and speaks to them.
excuse me
Yeah, any sort of word or phrase with a very specific real world etymology or origin also always sets off a major nitpick alarm I have to manually disengage. What do you mean someone or something is "laconic" or "spartan" or "arcadian."
more niche peeve: when the game artists have heard that dinosaurs "have feathers now" so they slap a weird... feather Mohawk and backwards wing feathers on the wrists of a Jurassic Park raptor, that don't follow the body contours at all
when a game refers to a common real world animal or plant that doesn't seem to exist in the game world (the "millennium falcon" thing)
subordinate: when it does exist but is given a toponymic prefix ("Hylian rice") despite being the only known kind
I remember watching Wing as a kid, not really understanding the plot, and assuming I wasn't old enough to really get this mature anime where everyone talked about war and philosophy
then I grew up and realized I didn't get it because it's unbelievably stupid
A youtube comment from 9 years ago under a video of Bela Legosi as Dracula. "Dracula, one of the most legendary vampires in the history of mythology and fiction.
every inch of this is obviously gold, but the hidden best part is that they genuinely can't gin up any badass copy for the fish so that text's just sandwiched between the other two
full version, the vocal samples from the original were getting too big for the SNES memory restrictions so i had to improvise lol
By far my favorite character was Runa Blask, one of your advisors at the Den. Runa is a dyed-in-the-wool Separatist partisan, forced out by internal politicking. She talks like the Star Wars version of a Communist kicked out of the party for being too annoying. She's constantly sniping at you for your Republic sympathies, each interaction an opening for a lecture about their expansionist, imperialist ways. In one scene, she straight up told Hawks that her time with the Separatists made up the best days of her life, and Zero Company was a huge downgrade. She's awful. I love her.

The Number of Collectibles in Donkey Kong 64, Settled Once and for All based on the datamining efforts of DK64 expert and DK64 Randomizer creator Ballaam The Internet is full of misinformation about the number of collectibles in Donkey Kong 64. Various guides, articles, and even the Guinness Book of World Records all list wrong numbers due to either neglecting to count some type of collectible, or not considering that the coin and banana counters are not equivalent to the number of coin and banana collectibles; e.g. Banana Balloons add 10 bananas to the counter, and Rainbow Coins add 25 coins, while each only being a single item. Note: a "collectible" is any individual item for which the collection status is saved to the save file, i.e. which does not respawn after collecting if the game is saved, exited and loaded again. This is as opposed to "pickups" like ammo that do respawn. Golden Bananas 201 +3 OOB Blueprints 40 Banana Medals 40 Fairies 20 Battle Crowns 10 Boss Keys 8 Company Coins 2 Rainbow Coins 16 Single Bananas Donkey 185 +1 OOB Diddy 130 +1 OOB Lanky 140 Tiny 170 +1 OOB Chunky 165 Banana Bunches Donkey 65 Diddy 70 Lanky 70 Tiny 66 Chunky 63 Banana Balloons Donkey 19 +1 OOB Diddy 22 Lanky 21 Tiny 20 Chunky 22 Banana Coins Donkey 99 Diddy 103 Lanky 110 Tiny 118 Chunky 147 +3 OOB Total number of collectibles:2142 (2152 if counting out of bounds content) Source: https://bsky.app/profile/ballaam.dk64randomizer.com
Donkey Kong 64 has a large number of collectibles, but the Internet is full of misinformation on what exactly that number is. I present an accurate count based on comprehensive datamining, aiming to answer this question once and for all: Donkey Kong 64 has 2142 collectibles.
people are reporting big windfalls in the form of good harvests, love magic, and finding buried treasure after burying a bowl covered in incantations to trap demons under their house
Biggest legitimate Goomba stack 30 Goombas before new Goombas stop spawning Biggest illegitimate Goomba stack 200 Goombas; 201 Goombas crashes the game Source: YouTube users "BeardBear", "Skelux", youtube.com/watch?v=3NZIESW06Gk, youtube.com/watch?v=MoQNM3VEJ5w
In Super Mario Odyssey, many Goombas can be stacked. The limit for a legitimate Goomba stack is 30, as they will stop spawning afterwards. Manually spawning more Goombas reveals that the limit for an illegitimate Goomba stack is 200. At 201 Goombas, the game crashes.
guys in star wars used to be called “droopy mccool” and “fling bongus.” now they’re all called like “baylen zender.” i think this says a lot about society.
hey uh these ones seem a bit noteworthy beyond being AI generated
It's sale season once again! Misericorde Vol. Two is less than ten dollars, and Vol. One is less than five. Get caught up, start the series for the first time, or give a friend the gift of depressed 15th century nuns 🗡️
(annoying guy voice) okay so the faces are a bit odd. but if you just look at the environments and tweak the contrast a bit, it'll look how it's supposed to: the original game but showing on a tv at the store with fucked up "make it pop" settings
Painting by Deimos Art illustrating the Courier and Boone in the aftermath of storming Caesar's tent at Fortification Hill. Boone is holding his rifle and looking down at the dead Caesar, whose face is covered with a long red cloth. Various Legionaries and shotgun shells are scattered on the ground. In the background, the Courier stands in Caesar's tent with a raised kukri knife (Chance's knife).
