The infamous "WET YOURSELF..." Super Mario Sunshine print ad is often posted online without context, leading many to believe it is fake or fan-made. However, it is very much real, appearing on page 130 of issue 119 of the British Nintendo Official Magazine.

There's a lot of debate around how 1ccs should be encouraged and/or enforced right now and my input is that part of the core problem is that frustration tolerance and active learning are not exactly consistently held values in gaming circles

like talk about how credit feeding or practice modes should be handled of course but stressing that challenges like the 1CC are fulfilling learning experiences and not ego-driven masochism is also really important and I'm very glad to be seeing that

It's really funny how Chara being pure evil is framed as some serious misinterpretation that comes from not taking accountability for the geno route, like no, Toby made a bad writing choice, Toby made Chara a demon that you summon by committing mass murder that personifies bad gamer habits

Like regardless of Toby's own intentions and thoughts regarding Chara the only person at fault for this interpretation being so popular is himself, and I wouldn't be shocked if he's recognized this considering how Kris and Noelle are in the weird route

"You corrupted Chara that's why they're like that" well kinda, but it's pretty hard for that to hold any weight when the only time they're summoned or on the same page with us at all is for mass murder and their previous characterization is morally ambiguous, like that's what the game set up lol

I wanted to update the previous Magenta Horizon combo mad video with the new UI and longer gameplay per sequence, so here we are again. Hope this can convince action game enthusiasts to play it during the Halloween season.

Just got all my boys together to take on the wandering ronin who came to town. There’s like 15 of us and only one of him so pretty much the only thing that would give me any pause is if he was master of the devastating and lightning-fast iaidō style. But that’s not likely. Coward hasn’t even drawn h

lotta internet communities that didn't want queer content due to "divisiveness" are turning themselves into molten slag via allowing an unmitigated stream of wildly unpopular AI garbage... it would be sad if it wasn't so funny...

"If centaurs are the default human form, would they ride a horse?" That question sounds stupid, but my answer is "yes". A horse that evolved a natural muscle-support band around the front thighs with the second pair of limbs. The in-universe name for these steeds is Horaffs. #Mutasmagoria

seeing people genuinely suggest that the game awards are rigged for gta 6 is so funny because i promise you if there’s one thing you don’t need to trick gamers into doing it’s celebrating the very expensive and highly marketed release as an artistic masterpiece. they will do that for free

gamers be like "high end GPUs are completely unaffordable now this is apocalyptic how will I be able to play three hours of the fotm 90 dollar AAA game before going back to mainlining a game than can run on a flip phone"

there's a tension in discussing old video games because on one hand there's a desire to prove that developers weren't just clueless idiots throwing shit at the wall, while on the other hand wanting to escape the prison of divining developer intention. The solution is to kill all gamers.

i guess that's not a super useful line of thought, but the way people talk about things...it's always waiting for another breakout hit to show everyone what can be Commercially Viable. E33 Will Save Turn Based Rpgs. The Dark Souls Of Whatever. the market craves innovation. in a safe and familiar way

there's also this widespread dream of finding like...the philosopher's stone of games. the game that does everything. setting aside the issues of resource management during dev and stuff that's just not possible. like it's insane on its face. it's like asking for a movie that would be in every genre
