Idk if Pac-Man has an official Bluesky account, but Bandai Namco just posted this survey about PMW2 Re-Pac.

Lots of good questions in here about all the new content and features, AND they ask about Pac-Man World 3, or a possible new entry 👀

Midnight Blue SuperStation one. Ignore the surface finish, SS1 isn't high gloss. It looks beautiful.

The Japanese games ( Ouendan ) have Japanese music from the era, really good experience too if you like the style of EBA

EBA is one of my all time favorites! If you like it, definitely give the Ouendan games on DS a shot too

Alright folks, time for me to request some #mutualaid. 9 months of not being able to find a job. State work program sent me back to school to help prospects, but I still can't pay rent. Called in favors, running out of money again, $375 due by the end of the week. (1/?) ko-fi.com/blazehgehg/g...

Thank you, this has been driving me crazy. I still Have Opinions, but seeing everyone fawn over the wrong version of a game with an extremely hardware-dependent aesthetic has been making my eye twitch.

Alright here is the fixed version for actual comparison, cause I grabbed the wrong thing from my clipboard:
Left is PS2. Middle is PS3. Right is remake.
Do not use remasters for comparisons.
You can even see how bluepoint reframed the composition for widescreen.

The Itch/Steam thing dropped off the trending tab.

Therefore it's time to remind you again to swamp the payment processors with more calls.

If the call volume dies down in under a week they aren't going to learn their lesson. Make them regret it.

The point of calling credit card companies isn't to make John Visa have moment of introspection and go "aw shucks I was wrong!" it's to grind business to a halt for such an extended period of time that all the higher ups who are real people with names and addresses decide that this isn't worth it

I know we're upset about itch, but they're not the only ones

Payment processors harassed companies bc of a 1,000 email hate campaign

But we can EASILY top 1,000!

I prewrote an email + got the contact info - you just have to send!

↻💬♡ to boost

We CAN make a difference 💕

6. Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii - April 23 2025.Middle of the game felt like a lot of filler to me, but Chapter 1, 4, and 5 were all great. Fun little side story.

5. Super Mario Wonder - April 16th 2025.Finally got around to finishing this. Great platformer and easily up there with Mario 3 for me.

4. Assassin's Creed Shadows - April 15th 2025.

Ubisoft Quebec still can't write an engaging story. Stealth gameplay was great, but the story peaked in Act 1. The end of Yasuke's missions was great, but the other 40 hours of story felt like poorly paced filler.

It's been 10 years* since our last Modding Shenanigans stream in 2014 so its time to celebrate. Come hang out on Saturday at 8 AM PST / 11 AM EST on the Melpontro YT. This time I'm going in blind with mods created by my friends in the modding community. We'll have tons of surprises for everyone.

I made every playable character from Sonic Adventure (Dreamcast) into low poly action figures!

They’re all hand painted and 3D printed!
