Beat Luigi’s Mansion for the first time ever!

Tried it quite a few years back and didn’t “get it” at that time, but thoroughly enjoyed it when I played it this time around

Definitely a unique and fun experience

Second is Ruk on a rampage smeared with human blood. Third is Ruk holding his dying brother Tal Zan’s hand. Fourth is Ruk and his injured friend Resk hiding from a unsc pelican hovering above.

Gamer chuds simply can’t handle fictional women being designed to be characters in a story, people in a world, before they’re names to plug into an e621 search

the worst trend in female character design for anthropomorphic characters in media has to be the absolute refusal to give women snouts.

gacha games and fortnite are especially egregious with this. come on. just a bit of a snout. it's not hard, people. give the wolf girl a snout. and DON'T squish it

if the gamers truly want it, my game will come with a "gamer" version which will include a 1tb photo of my mom's cat somewhere in the files

Joe Merrick @joemerrick.bsky.social · 1d

Seeing people make judgments based on a game's file size is absolutely nuts.

Like, Nintendo are known to have crazy good compression.

You know, games don't need to be 100GB+ for it to be worth it.

in the bottom drawing they look at each other in shock, and theres text below them pointing at them with arrows that says "basically the same guy"

great bonding exercise for the human-sangheili alliance #oc

digital art of riso and cody kissing kind of cartoonishly. riso is a grey alien and cody is a human. they're both blushing, their eyes are squeezed shut

Here's a nerdy one. The "Funtastic Series" of Nintendo 64 consoles released in the US in March of 2000. So late in the system's life, that this was after the PS2's initial Japanese release. Odd to see rather sarcastic takes of now iconic, beloved, and sought after systems when they were new.

KB toys print ad for the "Funtastic Series" of Nintendo 64 games. Systems in translucent plastic shells priced at $99 each, a light blue "Ice" system featured prominently with other variants underneath; grey "Smoke", orange "Fire", indigo "Grape", pink-red "Watermelon", and green "Jungle". Also advertised are three software titles, Pokémon Stadium, Mario Party 2, and Ridge Racer 64.

Promotional image of those very same "Funtastic Series" consoles.

IGN article from March 6th of 2000, titled "Funtastic N64 Consoles"

"What do you do when your videogame console has become as obsolete as a Betamax machine? Do you tip your hat and bid farewell as it rides off into the big arcade in the sky? Do you light it on fire and send it out to sea like a valiant warrior? Do you ignore it hoping that one day you'll "rediscover" it in some fit of uncontrollable nostalgia?"

IGN "Funtastic N64 Consoles" continued.

"Of course not.

You dress it up in some flashy new colors and pretend it's a whole new system! The more exciting the colors, the more exciting the gaming experience right? Contrary to what you might have read, it is big news when the emperor gets new clothes! The Nintendo 64 console has been re-released in six delicious new colors, known as the Funtastic series, and the gaming world is all abuzz because of it.

Sure the Playstation 2 just launched in Japan, but in the U.S. all of the kiddies have just been introduced to Smoke, Ice, Watermelon, Jungle Green, Grape and Fire Nintendo 64 consoles and that's all that matters. While those cool yummy names are just fancy ways of saying black, blue, pink, green, purple and orange, nobody can deny the way games play on one of these high energy systems."
