I just got the achievement "Freebie" on Epic Battle Fantasy 5 by watching the enemies get killed by either their environment or each other. 😁

🌫️ Can't see much in all this fog, yet somehow @browneyedlea.bsky.social is able to pierce right through it... am I ever glad to see you, especially after the drama you got wrapped up in while I was asleep! 🌫️

Today I spent way more time than I thought I would building what ultimately became "Technovania", a metroidvania-style adventure in a techno tomb setting, within #QuestMaster. And then I realized that I never added any enemies 🤣

I wish #anthropic would have a way for #claudecode to use a cloud environment that supports #dotnet and #github like my local environment.

Today I entered a beehive in a video game, fought off bees, then helped them defeat an invading army of wasps. Unfortunately my buddies got paralyzed and killed by stinging 😭... but I used the Horn of Endless Summoning to get more 😁

Today I learned that the PS5 can get smaller feature updates in addition to larger OS updates. Still haven't gotten around to browsing the store yet, let alone playing any games there. Finally, I saw "L3" listed as a button to invoke something... where's that on the controller?

Decided to go play Dice Rally tonight in Yugioh Master Duel. Despite my attempts, I wasn't very successful, losing more than I won (and two of the three wins happened only because my opponent either surrendered or ran out of time). I still had fun though.

Why do I feel that I would be picked off in midair when playing virtually any battle royale style game... and if that somehow doesn't happen, I'm more likely to be my own undoing because I have no aiming ability whatsoever? 😂🤣💀☠️

As I was certain would happen, I missed both the State of Play and the other gaming related broadcast today. What I didn't realize was that the reason I missed the State of Play in particular was post-work events...

Do games need easy mode to be accessible?

It's a difficult question to answer, which is why we've created this deep dive

Please, take the time to read & share your thoughts too. Every voice matters & helps raise awareness

Curious if Retro Blast would be interested in games that don't have a frame rate at all, updating the screen only when something happens, which covers all the 30+ games that I have made...
I'll say it. 30fps in video games isn't always a flat dealbreaker for me.

I just don't think every game needs high fps. If a game is more cinematic, I might even PREFER 30FPS.

It's why I disable motion smoothing on my TVs. It's OK for some content, but it rips the "film" feel right out of movies.

I went searching for Kirby GIFs and found this one, which is just too cute 🥰

Ah yes the Danger cards. I use them sometimes... and my opponents will waste Ash Blossom on them, since they're not once per turn, I can just try again 😉
