dag nabbit sony, stop porting games to PC until you've ported Bloodborne!

 
 
 

Getting home to my wife watching Reboot, holy shit. This show brings me back, both in the fact I watched it's of run on ABC, then got to finish it in High School via Toonami. I remember loving how serious it got by the end, good preteen melodrama


 
 
 

Finally got my bloody results. Very red. Much plasma. More deets in the comments. Of course, the doctors had to parse my blood out from the communal blood bucket


 
 
 

I wanted to be a lot of things growing up. Paleontologist. Cartoonist. Animator. As an adult, tho, I want nothing more than to be a shambling skeleton guarding a crypt somewhere

 
 
 

It's not the meta, apparently, but Arial style Great Sword and Insect Glaive are some of the most fun I've had in MonHun (GU). GS even more so, I miss a lot, getting the hang of charged jump swings, but connecting a hit feels good man

 
 
 

Not sure if anyone saw this already, but I found it fascinating. Truly a surreal work of art.



 
 
 

While yall were playing ToTK, I was playing...MHGU. and let me tell you, between the two games...they are very different from one another. that is all

 
 
 

I raged hard last night when the very first treasure chest in the very first temple gave us a fucking amber. Amber!? Really Nintendo??! Couldn't even give us a rupee or new type of stick or shield?!? Worst. Game. Ever.

 
 
 

Nintendo's color game is unmatched. Elden Ring might match it, and definitely passes it in fidelity detail, but TotK's color and art direction is beautiful, and Nintendo still sits on the throne, have been since Mario Odyssey, another color rich game

 
 
 

15 mins into wathcing my wife play ToTK and im already inspired. This game looks fun and im happy my wife has found another game she vibes with.


 
 
 

We'll, I just realized my wife is friends with the Ukelady, who is in a band with Gabby LaLa, and they recently preformed at les Claypools vineyard. Like, is there a chance in my life now to jam or meet that man 1 on 1 now? Holy shit

 
 
 

Wow, Jack Welch was literally the one of the worst things to happen to the US and corporate world. https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/

 
 
 

BOBCAT GOLDTHWAIT coming to ATL!! He's playing this weekend Friday and Saturday, we are going Saturday--ooh, excited! He was great when I saw him at the Bell House in Brooklyn back in 2017

 
 
 

that moment you buy a retro game but it's not BC with your consoles. Truly, only for Xbox 360. At least i have an undeniably loved From Soft treasure. Maybe i'll own a 360 again; I have an extensive 360 collection that happens to also be BC with the xbone


 
 
 

Want to say that Diddy Kong Racing still FUCKING holds up as a video game, and more racers need to do this. Forgot how fun the silver coin challenges are, collecting something and having to be in first is a fun tension to have in a race

 
 
 

I don't miss the way video games looked between 2005 and 2010. Man that was an ugly period, w/ twilight princess being one of the worst offenders. Ugly ass bloom and lighting ruined some great character design

 
 
 

Saw the Mario movie. Bowser was enjoyable, and so was kamek with his lip licking. But outside of callbacks to the games, it was ok. Still find Wreck it Ralph the better Mario movie

 
 
 

Any fans of Drake here? Just what the hell is his appeal? Not once have I had the urge to listen to his music on purpose, and what I have heard is...boring?

 
 
 

Great, just what my job managing an optical office needs, a new COVID variant with pink eye like symptoms

 
 
 

need to buy a switch power adapter before my wife gets TotK, otherwise I'll never be able to play my MHGU.

 
 
 

"This is a Bust" by Ed Lin, is about an Chinese-american cop caught between his race card being used as a token for NYPD in Chinatown and the community he cannot seem to fit into. Of course, Hollywood would just make a movie called "Marshall Law!"

 
 
 

Started playing MHGU on switch. Just bought it and already in love with the classic formula again. Much more comfy to play than 4u was on the 2ds, and I put some 120+ hours on that thing. Trying out the insect glaive, avoided it last time around

 
 
 

Aw shit happy birthday Occam's, I'm getting my goblin in in your honor!

 
 
 

I hope y'all are having a great Friday. Getting paid to poop rn, so #pooptoid I suppose, then I'll be weekending in 20 mins! Going to a goblin farmers market tomorrow, hoping to get something gross!

 
 
 

Been going through ng+ in Elden Ring, p much steamrolling everything, but not using my mimic teat for shardbarers, and finally met a challenge with Radahn, ofc. But every other enemy I've met dies or melts in a few hits, bosses too. Margit was so easy!

My favorite games meld music, art, and gameplay to enhance one another, elevating the product to something beyond mere "consumption"; it's an experience. Not everyone will like them, but they do gain a passionate following. Sorry if anything I said sounded pretentious, I am trying to be sincere. I love music and art, I've dabble in both for over 20 years now, so I appreciate games that put love into their art assets, animations, character design, level design, music, sound design, storytelling, and voice acting, even if the gameplay is simplistic (as long as it's fun!). These games also tend to feel nice- the control has a certain snap to it, enhanced by the visual and audio cues. This list may be biased towards my adolescence and childhood favorites from the SNES and N64/PSX days, so bare with me: you will see a lot of retro favorites. If your favorite is not on the list, it's probably because i didn't play it as a child/adolescent, or as an adult, for that matter.

In a somewhat random order:
Chrono Trigger
Super Smash Bros Melee
World of Warcraft (Classic/Vanilla)
Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past
Conker's Bad Fur Day
Portal
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
Dark Souls
Demon's Souls
Bloodborne
MGS:Revengance
Banjo Kazooie
Katamari Damacy
Shadows of the Colossus
Doom
Commander Keen: Goodbye Galaxy
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Painkiller
Super Meat Boy
Donkey Kong Country
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Human Fall Flat
World of Horror
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
Super Mario Odyssey
Metal Slug 3
Earthbound
Tokyo Jungle (an odd one, for sure, but i love it so)
