there is a rarely (if ever?) spoken about gamecube era aesthetic of stylized graphics mixed with textures made from real world photographs and I hope a bunch of indie devs embrace this at some point

If you feel a little underwhelmed by the big reveal being Space Invaders, it's worth remembering just how vital that game is to... well, all of this.

This video is so good, a true new standard.
As someone who's tired of "game history" as people parroting trivia on Nintendo in the US, it's so refreshing to see how a tired topic can still be interesting when it's properly researched & contextualized. And also reminds us why any of this matters :)

Merry Christmas! If you'd like to spend 45 minutes celebrating video game history with me, we're about to debut The Untold Story of the Nintendo Entertainment System. I worked on his ALL YEAR, and I genuinely think it will reshape how we all think about the system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJvp...

God I love Pluribus. Hate any discourse on it on any of the sites with an algorithm though. Starting to wonder if Vince Gilligan is incidentally one of the most effective trolls of all time since all it seems to take to induce madness is writing 3D characters with a plot you have to pay attention to

I played exactly one game that came out this year, and it was Nubby's Number Factory.
Plenty of stuff came out that interested me, but new games are way too damn expensive now
I will still never understand why inflation and exchange rates affect *digital* game prices so much, it's so damn stupid

they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

I’m surprised and appalled that TETRIS is okay with being associated with this deplorable product.
Everyone pls pressure TETRIS to take the necessary steps to extract their license with a very public announcement - or TETRIS will be as dead as the future victims of this lunatic’s killer machines.

Who coined "Metroidvania"? It wasn't @jparish.bsky.social, and he'll be the first to tell you. Besides, there are far more interesting questions, like: How did it spread? Evolve? And what's it got to do with rickrolling?
Watch til the end for a post-credits sting.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

This is foul. If there are "woke game ignore lists" then I would like someone to put me on all of them please. I may be dead but I still have some standards.
Since I posted this yesterday:
- The writer of the "I hate muslims" review has doubled down, and added that they also hate transgender people
- Valve removed my flag from the review, with nothing done about it. The review remains up and on our Steam page
I say again: Is this what Steam is now?
