kirby air riders is a fucken joy to experience; minimalist punchy, crunchy arcade game design matched perfectly with maximalist color and bouncy silliness. never played anything quite like it, and I never thought pre-release i'd be this glowing about it

The video starts with the waitress, who clearly assumes that a white, three-dimensional man wouldn’t understand her language, asking the man what he wants to eat in English. She was visibly shocked when he responded “sherb baba arogaba swaybul charba sa cou shamoo.”

Willard Scott at the 1995 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade describing Sonic the Hedgehog as a "very cool teenager" while a remix of the Sonic Spinball title theme is playing is the most important video you will see today

i reviewed Birdcage from @polygonbird.games. pretty handily the game with the most styyyyle i've played this year, thanks in no small part to its fantastic soundtrack, while also bringing some modern design choices to a well worn genre
Shoot, slash and weave through bullets and enemies in this story-driven arcade shooter. The RADON Daughters have launched their ultimate weapon. Take control of the experimental gunship HALCYON and break out of the CAGE.

I'm totally enchanted by @kinmoku.bsky.social's VIDEOVERSE. A warm, gentle sendup of when the Internet was about earnestly expressing yourself, loving things unashamedly and finding people to love at the meeting of those things. I've needed this game.

i got to review Videoverse from @kinmoku.bsky.social. pretty handily one of my favorite narrative games i've ever played, but also a reminder of how fucking cool it is to create and experience art and the relationships that can spring forth from that
Relive the days of the early internet and dive into this fictional video game era, where the 'Kinmoku Shark’ gaming system and its online social network 'Videoverse' were still popular.
