Stuart Gipp DLC when
RetroMania Wrestling released a DLC arena last year based on Retro World Expo in Hartford and they included a Retronauts booth at ringside (complete with @feitclub.bsky.social @jparish.bsky.social & @nadiaoxford.bsky.social cheering on the action). Thanks to Lance Cortez for the in-game screenshot!

you could talk about the games with your arse out and bring in both audiences

sorry for not answering the question though I guess in a way I kinda did

You are right to do it.

I've discovered that in Mega Man 5, you can't jump out of a slide when underwater. I don't if this is true in the other games, besides Mega Man 6 where - to my memory - you can't jump out of a slide, period.

I discovered this by falling in a hole when I couldn't jump out of a slide underwater.

This game kicked ass and I never really saw anybody talk about it.

What's your favourite game in the God of War series?

I tend to gravitate towards Ghost of Sparta, which was an amazing game for PSP.

I just want to say I mute a lot of people on here but it doesn't mean I don't like you or you annoy me, it's mostly because I like the feed clean as possible from things like memes or politics, I read all the comments and I check everything underneath so please do not think I am ignoring or hate you

Designing my own TCG is, as you can see, going very well

I was recommended Link Evolution by @shoogles.bsky.social which seems to have a really solid tutorial and the game does seem pretty fun. So maybe I'm getting into it? I'm trying to design a card game myself and it seems like they follow some fairly standard mechanics which are easy enough to learn!

Interesting, thanks. I am developing a curiosity about it all.

Right, serious question - did the YuGiOh manga/anime come before the card game or was the manga/anime made to promote the card game? What was the synergy there?

I know I could just Google this but conversations are more rewarding.

Genuinely so glad that @retromags.com have been uploading so many issues of PSM2. That magazine came under a lot of fire - and it certainly had its problems - but back in the day it was always my favourite. And it turned me onto Gitaroo Man, so it's immortal as far as I'm concerned.
