Had Miyamoto died in 1998, his achievements would have been immortal. Had he died in 2013, he would still have been a great man but flawed. But he is still alive and complaining about movie critics. Alas, what can one say?

utena will hit you with an episode that makes you want to lie down for 2 days and never go outside again and then the next episode will be about nanami inventing gts fetish from first principles

Guest characters are Cringe. Not even rhetorically I think I physically cringe whenever I see Lucy in Strive. There are some neat edge cases that might be alright here and there like 'okay some of the Cap/SNK crossover stuff has history' but like nah I don't trust any of ya'll stop marketing at me

I do feel like I’m losing my mind to see the entire gamut of games media, from IGN to small Aussie sites, running this kind of corporate fawning amid the Palestinian genocide. No pretty words on it here, I just find it contemptible.

art of a computer desktop screen, with the emulator Visual Boy Advance open in a window in the middle. it displays a completely black screen, apart from white text in the center that reads "END?". speech bubbles are coming from the window, saying "We sure had a lot of fun, didn't we?" "Bye." "I wish we could always be together." "*giggle* That was fun!" "Goodbye." "Thanks." "Thanks for everything." "Let's meet again sometime. We can meet as many times as we want." the desktop background is the only thing not drawn, a heavily edited photograph of a field of sunflowers. in the corner, the date reads april 25th, 2012. that was the day I finished mother 3 for the first time.

gaming update of the week
I beat Lost Planet, it was kinda bad (endearing) but it could have been really great (tragic). The final boss is horrible (harassment)

made it through day 1 going "ah it's not so bad, I dunno what everyone was talking about this game being so hostile"
goes to buy food at the start of day 2
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

playing Pathologic and holy shit this game is beautiful
