Still thinking about Metal Gear Solid Mobile, what a weird game.

a video game screen that says that 'll teach you to hand our frequency over to every girl you meet

Alt: A gif of a call in Metal Gear Solid Mobile Snake: That'll teach you to hand our frequencies to every girl you meet. Otacon [whose portrait flips upside down]: .... Snake: Otacon, are you okay? I was just-- Otacon [portrait the right way around again]: I'm fine, Snake. Please try to focus.

haha I got a vibe it wasn't

But I love a tonal shift of an already known quantity.
Mostly what is coming to my mind right now is Pluto - tempted to watch it again.

Casshern is something that has always orbited my interests but I've never delved into.
Only time I've directly interacted with it is the character in Tatsunoko vs Capcom haha

This art though, man it's beautiful stuff.

@backpagepod.bsky.social “she’s not like a teenager or anything she’s like 30” - speaking about a 25 year old, good job rounding up 😉

You'd get to play as Shortfuse and that would rock ass!

Whenever I watch stuff from Sonic fan games and modders I always think "if I did this, I'd make a Fleetway game".

Okay, so it’d be unfair not to post the original, far more nuanced quote. I don’t entirely love it either – I mean, I prefer original hardware, but why should there be “sadness” that a game is playable “only” via Virtual Console? It still lives on. Still, Kyodo News clearly edited it beyond reason.

Erasu @erasu.bsky.social · 1d

So this is just legitimate ragebait. The context was specifically about expanding the Nintendo IPs and the Nintendo Museum where they can see and use old hardware. Here's the question and answer

I genuinely think that driver's licences should be harder to get an keep.
I feel like 90% folk who drive are bad at it, completely uncaring and ignorant of what they are in control of.

I didn't think I'd be thinking "fuck you Miyamoto" today but here we are.

Psi/Ben @psientologist.bsky.social · 2d

Literally just watched this, a very strong list of games to be sat amongst honestly.

Let's be honest, Starfox has furry vibes even before the Dinosaur planet one.

If we had twitter when Lylat Wars came out our timelines would've definitely had "interesting" looking fan art pop into it every so often.

Psi/Ben @psientologist.bsky.social · 2d

The @tcgs.co lads did a Patreon stream of it a while back and it was a great laugh, but I think that ended with them stuck in Labyrinth.

Which I'm sure I got past, but as a nerdy small child before the Internet, what else did I have to do?

I was surprised I did and feel bad because I would not call myself a fighting game player at all these days.

I will say though, for my money it seemed pretty class. Their format for 4 v 4 is quite different and dynamic, the connections were smooth and yeah... look good.

Also found a set of less old things, the 5 Marvel figures from the MODOK build-a-figure set from ‘06

Another loft find was these bad boys.
They have my old name written in two and I also used to colour in the pictures inside (lightly).

Found some good stuff in my loft, including base set Pokémon cards.
Complete set minus an Electabuzz.

Sadly doesn’t make me a millionaire though because these are HEAVY played, I didn’t know about sleeves then!

Psi/Ben @psientologist.bsky.social · 2d

Did you get into the Marvel Tokon beta?
That had a 2D equivalent to the DOA things on the side that actually plays into the mechanics of 4 v 4 more than being a damage thing.

Seemed cool from the little I played.
