Not saying someone should make an indie game with this functionality, but someone should make an indie game with this functionality.

I choose to believe this is how most 90s arcade race tracks were initially conceived #gaming #retrogaming #arcade

I brought my family to DC for the Cherry Blossom festival. The first thing I saw when I exited the L'Enfant Plaza Metro was a gang of youths proclaiming the only right way to play old video games with original hardware and a CRT. So forgive me if I doubt that crime is down

Deleting the kids baby photos so Sam Altman can make more money stealing all my work and your radicalised FB auntie can post another 7 AI sloppers of crab Jesus saying amen to a 17 fingered baby marine

The UK government has urged people to delete old pictures and emails as 'data centres require vast amounts of water to cool their systems'. http://jrnl.ie/6788643

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about: Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.

It feels like we should be making a bigger deal of “we actually did in fact find a cure for AIDS”

The implication here is that if not for Pac-Man’s A.I., there would be four people controlling the ghosts behind the scenes every time you played. Which, in fairness, IS how Tesla would fudge it if they had promised to deliver Pac-Man A.I. before having a handle on the tech

In DK Bananza, if you switch Pauline’s lines to Brazilian Portuguese, once in a while she’ll say “Nossa!”, which is a common expression in Brazil, short for “Nossa Senhora!” (“Our Lady!”) as for Saint Mary, mother of Jesus. So yes, Christianity is canon in DK lore.

What’s a real thing from your childhood that kids these days would find completely foreign? Like, how we used to be able to walk right up to the gate to meet our family coming off a flight. Or how we had to pick a spot to meet at the theater BEFORE we went.

Rhythm Tengoku/Rhythm Heaven series. A prime exemple of where creativity can take you visually, sonically and gameplay based on ONE BUTTON.

Let's spread some game love <3 Name one of your favourite games and tell peeps why you love it so much. I'll start with Metroid Prime 3. I love it so much because it makes such good use of the Wii's motion controls and has a planet-hopping story that has some gorgeous worldbuilding.

I want to reiterate to everyone: with all the bigotry and evil going around in the past decade, it’s never been easier to be in the right side of history. Just don’t be a douchbag, I guess?
