Grim Fandango is an all timer for me. I beat the remastered version on Vita twice to get the tank controls trophy that “Tim made them include”. There is also developer commentary you can enable which is great while playing or as a LP on YouTube.

Amazon has changed the return process for groceries in the app such that when requesting a refund on a missing item, it requires a photo. A photo of the missing item. I tried taking a random photo which didn’t work. Eventually I was able to process the return without photos in a desktop browser.

If you’re a parent, any opinions you have about totes go out the window when you need to carry a bunch of snacks and supplies as quickly as possible. Unzip a backpack? Who has the time?

Remembering that the internet shamed guys into not using totes as I watch a man carry 3 dozen eggs out of Ralphs cradled in one arm.

must-read mega-thread from a former Capcom staffer looking back at Resident Evil VII in advance of its 10th anniversary (yes, that was 2017!) Loads of personal insight and all-important context surrounding its development & release.

I think my favorite movie experiences that were not your normal “new movie in the theater” viewings was seeing Night of the Living Dead with a live band doing the soundtrack and some sound effects, and seeing Frankenstein with an introduction and Q/A with Sara Karloff, Boris’ daughter.

the obsession with whether or not fans of a thing are "larpers" is an illness. exact kind of lame gatekeeping bullshit as the guy who'd see a girl in a band shirt and go "name five of their albums" or the comic book guy who has to prove he knows more about batman than you, but for a new generation

I’ve been running into issues with this a lot. My 8yo can read but is fatigued by it quickly and just doesn’t have the patience for a lot of reading. “Simple” “kid friendly” games that require a lot of reading are no longer kid friendly. Bug Snax and Frog Detective are recent examples we tried.

Weird to see previews about how the Ocarina of Time remake seems to be designed specifically for little kids in mind, when if anything, Nintendo games where you’re forced to read all the dialogue because Nintendo is too cheap to fully voice the game is maybe the most anti-kid design possible.

October gaming PSA: Castlevania: The Adventure for Game Boy has a full color version released as part of a Konami collection on Game Boy Color. It’s in Vol 1 (of 4). It was a Japanese and European exclusive.

Just in time for the Halloween season, this week we have a Resident Evil interview from 1999 with director Shinji Mikami! He talks about his early Disney games, Sweet Home, Romero's zombie movies, and the kind of horror he wanted to explore in Resident Evil. shmuplations.com/residentevil/

#PortfolioDay I'm José and I'm a Chilean illustrator and graphic designer inspired by the nostalgia of 80s and 90s Japanese anime and video games. My work explores pop culture, science fiction and highlights the strength and charm of female characters.✨

I forgot to say it was a great show!

I’m going to the Besties live show tonight and I’ll be happy just to see the main crew but there is a long and storied history of guests on the show and I can’t wait to see who shows up. @russfrushtick.bsky.social will NY Giraffe make an appearance???

My grandfather did airbrushed illustrations for catalogs. Mostly of footwear. When he passed away I found a letter he kept from Cole Haan firing the agency he worked for because they were moving to “computer generated illustrations”.
