UPDATED! We solved this one! Or at least a major part of it, thanks to an assist from @shivambhatt.bsky.social: Is the mystery fighter who gave Dhalsim his name the Indian wrestler Dara Singh?

Sometimes you just have sudden realizations many years later. Like it just yesterday it dawned on me that the game f-zero is called that because of Formula car racing rankings (F3 -> F2 -> F1 -> F-Zero)

I feel so defeated. I graduated from Cologne Game Lab this week and I've been looking for a job opportunity for around 3 months. I haven't seen a SINGLE 3D Environment Art position.

If you know ANYONE in Germany that looks for a 3D Artist please help me.

We are deeply saddened at the news of the passing of Magic legend Kai Budde. His achievements in the game and community go beyond what we could say in one post. Our thoughts go out to Kai's friends and family in this moment.

I’m on the Indie Informer! I’ve been playing Cairn, a wonderful game that may start initially frustrating, but slowly traches you its own unique language - emotionally and mechanically. It’s a timely reminder for me of picking yourself back up when you fall. theindieinformer.com/2026/01/29/c...

This one's for all my @magic.wizards.com sickos. We take a long look at MicroProse's 1997 digital version of Magic: The Gathering—colloquially called Shandalar—and discuss our history with the game, Magic in a digital environment, and how the adventure elements add or take away from the game itself.

I received the very rare Nintendo Home Race game this week, and it is in absolute great condition - never been played with

Until now!

Please witness its first race, 60 years after it left the Nintendo factory...

I’ve already said this at some point, but let me share it again:

If you are a SNES/SFC collector that wants their Satellaview 8Ms checked & dumped, you can contact me for that.

Even if your packs show up as empty, there’s a good chance that there are deleted or Soundlink-only ROMs hidden on there.

Wish I could internalize this
brightwanderer I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned "forever" into the only acceptable definition of success. Like... if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it's a "failed" business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don't actually want to keep doing that, you're a "failed" writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it's a "failed" marriage. The only acceptable "win condition" is "you keep doing that thing forever". A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a "real" friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a "phase" - or, alternatively, a "pity" that you don't do that thing any more. A fandom is "dying" because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things. I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it's okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success... I don't think that's doing us any good at all.

I don't know about you, but I would absolutely play the hell out of a #ShovelKnight 64 game!

These amazing mock-ups were created by
"SamThe_Salmon"

Check out their Twitter.
They do a lot of really impressive pixel & low-poly art with a super authentic look to it

I'm starting to write more reviews of smaller titles on Steam.

1. Reviews are very helpful for developers and players alike.

2. It's a nice way to cap off a fun time with a game.

So not only do I recommend Babushka's Glitch Dungeon, but I also recommend writing reviews of indie games you enjoyed!
Review: First of all, it works just fine on Steam Deck! I played most of it that way. A great game for people who like charming, weird little worlds and are up for a "Metroidvania lite" that invokes unusual mechanics versus the typical double jump, etc. The glitchy, witchy theme is on point - I was never quite sure if I was solving the puzzles in this game the "intended" way or not. It's a breath of fresh air, to be honest. Or is it a breath of moldy spores? (That's a joke you'll understand once you play the game.) I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Babushka. Maybe some day I'll come back and visit her to see how she and her animals are doing.

It's the Christmas issue of Famitsu, so that means many Japanese gaming industry folks gave their personal Game of the Year lists. I'll update this thread periodically since there's a lot of them once again.
